Hello, Good Life

Ah yes, September is almost here, a.k.a back-to-school season for our kiddos–no big deal, right, sis? Screams internally While it's obviously exciting for us busy moms to anticipate another year of learning and growth for our "tiny" humans, the looming reality of getting back to a structured routine after months of summer fun is–let's face it–scarier than realizing you've forgotten to do your skincare routine for a week. But does navigating this shift have to be that dreadful? Well, from my experience, not if you're able to cover a few critical bases. I'm talking setting SMART goals,...

Hello, Good Life

Have you ever imagined what it’s like to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope? Yeah, that's pretty much what balancing business, mama duties, and self-care feels like most days, am I right?

I can still remember the amount of times I wanted to tear my hair out when I was caught in this struggle.

Hello, Good Life

Just like that, summertime is officially in full swing, mamas! For our kiddos, this is obviously a dream come true. For us? Well, if you’re a busy entrepreneur like me who’s usually tied to a delicate daily routine, this time of the year can only mean one thing – CHAOS! From our sleep, wake-up, and work times to our daily personal and family activities, every bit of our usual gets shaken up, ultimately putting us at risk of constantly feeling like we’re one melted popsicle away from a full-on meltdown. But you know what? It doesn’t have to be this way! Because having your summer cake...

Hello, Good Life

Can I get a "hell yeah" if your daily hustle has you stretched thinner than flat tummy laxative tea? Juggling the never-ending demands of work and family can make true "me time" feel like an unattainable luxury. But here's the hard truth: Constantly putting your well-being on the back burner is a one-way ticket to your own personal burnout city. And trust me, you don't want those stamps in your passport! I get it. Self-care can easily fall to the bottom of the priority list when you're being pulled in a million directions. But making space to rejuvenate your cup is the key to showing up as...

Hello, Good Life

Raise your hand if you've ever felt the fear of missing out (FOMO) creep in…   You know that nagging voice that says you "should" be doing more, seeing more, and achieving more? That gnawing feeling that your life is somehow incomplete if you're not constantly chasing the next hot thing?   As an ambitious woman juggling it all, FOMO can hit hard. You see those "perfect" stories on social media and start doubting your own path. Before you know it, you’re saying "YES" to everything out of desperation not to miss a single opportunity.   As someone who used to be plagued with...

Hello, Good Life

Sometimes life can be REALLY busy. It feels like we are always on the go. Like there is never enough time. That you always have SOMETHING to do. I feel this in my bones.   There are always deadlines, responsibilities and things that fall through the cracks that you need to go fishing for. Between my family, kid’s schedules, travel, work and trying to get in some “me” time - it feels like there’s hardly a moment to catch my breath.    Even just typing this up, I feel stress in my core around this. I used to feel like there was just never enough time. Never enough...

Hello, Good Life

Think back to when you were little and needed your parent’s permission for everything. Maybe you felt frustrated, or even rebellious, at the thought of having to keep asking for permission. Maybe it turned you into thinking that you need to get permission in other areas of life now that you’re an adult?   And now the irony sets in. Because now, you STILL find yourself seeking permission more than ever! And it’s not just from your parents, or about the little things.    From the way that you act to how you feel, it’s as if you need permission from others first before...

Quotes

 

"[By] using the smart framework, you're essentially ensuring that your goals are clear, actionable, and aligned with your overall vision of your life. This really helps you to stay focused and motivated, and also it increases your chances of achieving them." [12:12]

 

"As a busy mom, we often put ourselves last on every single list, but really, prioritizing our self -care is crucial, A, for maintaining our energy, B, for maintaining our productivity, and C, for teaching our kids how to take care of themselves and building it into their day -to -day lives, so they're not putting themselves at the bottom of the totem pole.” [14:01]

 

“[Time blocking] really helps you to dedicate specific time and focus to a specific group of tasks. The beauty of this is that it really helps you focus on one thing at a time, reducing the distractions and really increasing your productivity.” [21:19]

 

“[T]he biggest boundary you can set is with yourself” [23:42]
