Moms, It's Time to Do Less (so everyone can thrive more)

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Reader

If you’re a mom, this message is for you. If you aren’t, but you’re a caregiver or a people pleaser, the advice still applies. I welcome you to read this and share with Moms you know in honor of Mother’s Day, if you're feeling up for it. (If you aren't because you're grieving during this time, I am sending you so much love. Close this out and know I get it and I hope you find peace and beauty during this time.)

Does this sound familiar? You give so much. You keep saying “Am I doing ok?” “I feel like a failure.” “I need to do more.” You never stop and most days you feel like you’re hair's on fire and life is one urgent moment after another, juggling work, kids, home, and about a million other responsibilities.

I see you. And I get it.

What if I told you that doing LESS could actually make you a better mom? Does it sound too good to be true?

I promise you, it is possible and I recommend it! In my latest podcast episode, I sat down with Amy Grace (therapist and mom of 4) to break down the modern mom myth: that we must do EVERYTHING, ALL the time.

Here's what we discussed:

✨ Why your current "do it all" approach is burning you out (and not actually helping your fam)
✨ How to prioritize what REALLY matters (which is what you need to be doing instead of "everything")
✨ Strategies to create more margin in your life (I call it "buffer" and it means space and breathing room)
✨ The truth about mom guilt and societal pressures

Spoiler Alert: You don't have to be a superhero. You just need to be authentically YOU.

I know it’s hard to spare a moment, but if you want to feel like you're hanging out with friends who understand and receive some encouraging and doable advice, be sure to listen to the full episode.
​
You're not alone in this journey. And you've absolutely got this.

Reader Ever feel like traditional productivity advice just doesn't click with you? I hear that from clients constantly and the reason is simple: One-size-fits-all solutions are a myth. What makes you you is what will help you find your most effective productivity path, and your unique personality is one of those aspects. Knowing your personality and working with it is the real secret weapon to working smarter, not harder. This is why I do assessments first with my clients. When I coach you, I...

Reader Last week I asked you if you could magically fix one thing to be more productive, which of the following would it be: 1) figuring out what you need to do, 2) scheduling and fitting it all in, 3) developing the systems to track it all, or 4) getting yourself to take action. The results are in across multiple platforms and... ::Drumroll Please:: It was a TIE between #2 Scheduling it to fit it all in, and #4 Getting yourself to take action and do the stuff on the list! What does this...

Reader This month, I want to talk about something we often misunderstand: PRIDE. Yes, I mean that kind of pride. I am a rainbow-wearing, Free Mom Hug card-carrying safe space and any time we can elevate humans and prioritize love, it’s a good day. I also mean the simple concept of pride in terms of how we feel about ourselves. Because I have found it to be decidedly misunderstood, no matter the context. The pride I mean is not a boastful thing. It’s a powerful, self-accepting belief in your...
