3824 Go Off Script!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why do we cling so tightly to our routines, sticking to the scripts we've written for ourselves even when life is whispering for us to improvise? Maybe because it’s comfortable. Predictable. Safe. But here’s the hard truth—when you stay stuck in familiar habits, you leave unopened doors and opportunities that could impact not only you, but the world you touch. Go off script!

3823 When Peace Feels Impossible
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Let’s be real—healthy living often feels like a chore. If it’s all work and no ease, why would anyone stick with it? When peace feels impossible—when your mind races, stress mounts, and moments of calm seem like a distant memory—don’t throw in the towel on what truly matters for your health. Because it’s no surprise that most of us coast along without much effort until something drastic forces us to change. But here’s the hard truth: waiting for a crisis to hit before you care about your body is a losing game. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?...

3821 Everything Starts as a Seed
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every journey, every success, and every change begins with a seed. Not just a physical seed planted in soil, but the unseen seeds you plant daily through your mindset, words, actions, and choices. You were created on purpose for a purpose, and living into that purpose is the real prize. What you build—your relationships, your business, your character—everything starts as a seed, and it requires intentionality for it to grow. The truth is simple: you will harvest what you sow. The seeds you plant today become the outcomes you face tomorrow. That’s why it’s critical to focus on planting...

3820 The God of Do-Overs
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life pounds hard and hope feels distant, despair and discouragement can grip tightly. It’s easy to believe the story has ended, that the mess and pain will define us permanently.

3818 When Your Words Feel Small
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As parents, it's hard to know if what we are saying is sticking. Sometimes, we talk in circles and nothing seems to change. Whatever you do, don't give up when your words feel small. You know what it's like to talk in circles, replay the same conversations, and wonder if any of it actually lands. Those moments when your words feel small—like they barely ripple the surface—can shake even the most confident parent. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3817 One More Day
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why is it that we rise to the complaints of yesterday only to find ourselves seeking what we want for tomorrow, yet we forget about today?

3816 Just Commitment And The Right Moves
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Starting roughly in your 30s, your body starts losing muscle mass every year. This isn’t a cosmetic problem—it’s a quality of life issue. Less muscle means lower strength, reduced mobility, slower metabolism, and a higher risk of injury and chronic illness. Muscle isn’t optional; it’s essential if you want to keep living actively and fiercely. All it takes is just commitment and the right moves. So, how do you build muscle? And how do you do it right, especially if fat is more of your story right now? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at...

3815 Celebrate Today's Joys
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too often, we let the shadow of what might happen tomorrow steal the sunshine of today. Fear of the unknown, worries about future setbacks, or anxieties over “what ifs” take up residence in our minds—and in doing so, they rob us of moments worth celebrating right now. So celebrate today's joys. Because life isn’t waiting, you don’t get a replay of today’s joy tomorrow. If you don’t celebrate the wins you have today, you’re losing ground.

info_outlineHave you ever thought, "I just have to go because my kids will not forgive me if I miss it?" Oh, how we pressurize our parenting lives, expecting ourselves to be everything and go everywhere; don't miss a moment!
That ever-pressing demand to be present for every moment of your child's life might initially start as a desire, but is it sustainable?

In today's fast-paced world, being a parent can feel like being in a whirlwind of trying to be everywhere and go anywhere with your children, all while juggling work, household chores, and personal time.
The pressure to not miss a single moment of your child's life can be overwhelming at times. But is it really necessary to be constantly on the go and present for every single moment? Or is it about finding a balance and cherishing quality time with your children?
Parenting experts like Dr. Shefali Tsabary, author of "The Conscious Parent," emphasize the importance of finding self-care and maintaining your own identity as a parent. It's crucial not to lose yourself in the chaos of raising a family. Remember, taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your children.
Yes, that's true. But on the other side, if you have littles, they solely depend upon you. And that means you might be losing sleep if they need to be fed in the middle of the night.
There is no clear-cut answer to this dilemma. This truly is dependent ton the season and stage of life. Honestly, it becomes circumstantial.
However, in saying that, you can't say that when you have children, nothing will change.
Now that is a lie! Children change you!! You can't keep doing life the same way before you had children. Can you imagine what it would be like to take your child to work and have them sit in with you on business meetings and negotiations?
To some degree, kids can go to work. But then your accessibility is limited.
So in looking at this, don't miss a moment of what you can control in the season and stage of life that you're in.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't miss a moment that matters!
That means you have gotta release the pressure of not missing a moment, because there might be other moments that you are needed more.
Again, you have to look at this from what you can control.
Here are three things parents can do to avoid losing themselves in the midst of feeling the pressure to not miss a moment:
1. Schedule "Me Time" - Make it a priority to schedule time for yourself, whether it's a relaxing bubble bath, a walk in the park, or indulging in a hobby you love. Setting aside time for self-care can help you recharge and be a better parent. The ME TIME is not to ignore the children, but to rejuvenate your heart in serving your family.
2. Delegate Responsibilities — It's okay not to do everything. Ask for help! Delegate tasks to your partner, family members, or a trusted babysitter. Pay someone to do the jobs that other people can do so you can do the jobs only YOU can do.
3. Be Present in the Moment - While it's important to create lasting memories with your children, it's also essential to be present in the moment and not just physically there. Put away distractions like phones and work emails, and truly engage with your children during quality time together.
You hanging out in the bleachers, taking up space so your child sees your face? That is NOT being present. That is merely making a statement that you are a super mom or super dad. But really, where does that land at the end of the day? It might be great if you're Mr. and Mrs. Incredible. But otherwise, it falls flat.
Be careful not to fall into the trap that busyness puts you in because all you have are seconds cause you didn't want to schedule minutes.
Slow down to speed up! Your day is not a marathon even though it feels that way. So take a step back and decide what really matters from the situation. Maybe your child would be okay with you missing the play, but they really want you there when for their first prom.
Communicate with your children and the ones you are raising your kids with. Figure out how you can parent well without driving yourself into the ground. Don't miss a moment. Or better yet - don't miss a moment that matters to your child.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
