Ep. #52: To Do List Overwhelm

Probably the most common question I get around my planning system is, “But what about when unexpected things come up? How do you get your work done without working extra hours?” This is such a great question, and if you’re job is anything like mine, your work day is FULL of random-but-urgent things coming up each day. In this episode, I’m going to give you three tips to help you create a predictable work schedule even if your role is filled with surprises and urgent requests.  Would you like individualized coaching to help you apply this in your own life?

Ep. #51: Predictable Work Hours for Unpredictable Jobs

What would you do with 100 extra hours? Think of the sleep you could get, the work you could catch up on, the Netflix you could watch, or the lazy “chill” time that you could spend with your kids. Considering how little margin many of us have in our lives between work, family, and general adulting - 100 hours could be huge. For me, this extra margin meant I was able to follow my dream of creating this podcast without changing jobs or waiting for my kids to grow up. And the great news is, extra time is right there waiting for you to take it! In this episode we’ll talk about three easy, practical ways that you can get 100 extra hours this year. Mentioned on the Podcast: The Minimal Mom on Youtube, including the Declutter Your Kids Clothes video. Would you like individualized coaching to help you apply this in your own life?

Ep. #50: Save 100 Hours This Year

Usually when we think about improving our lives, we think of what we want to do more of. But in my own experience, caring less about things (rather than doing more) has opened up my life to amazing possibilities. And of course I love this concept, because it fits so well with my minimalist philosophy of life - Life Simply Better. In this episode I’m sharing five things that it is OK for you to stop caring about, along with some examples from my own life.

Ep. #48: Career Limiting Beliefs

How do you know when you’re ready to start living your purpose? Many of us think that we’ll be ready once we have more time, start a more “purposeful career,” or when inspiration finally strikes. I take a different approach for myself and with the busy moms I coach. I believe that the time to live your purpose is always NOW. Now is the perfect time to start. Living your purpose will actually create more time and inspiration as you do it - because it will grow you to become the best version of yourself.

Ep. #47: When to Start Living Your Purpose

Today we are covering how to change your feeling. Emotions are a powerful component of our lives because they determine our experience of our lives. Feeling love or feeling annoyed are two very different experiences. Emotions are also important because they create our results. Emotions create the energy that fuels us to take action - and those actions ultimately create the results that we have in our lives. Emotions are just central to everything. We've talked in other episodes about emotions and creating balance and how to allow your emotions. Today we'll go one step further and talk about how to change your emotions, how to actually create new emotions in the moment that feel better and serve you better, and create better results in your life.

Loving your life feels amazing and produces even more great results. On today's episode, we're going to talk about how to love your life even in moments that are challenging - where it's stressful, where you're frustrated with other people, or you're frustrated with yourself. I will give you some really concrete tips on how to love your life, not just in the big picture but also in the moment. We'll cover three things in your life that I think are great and amazing to love. One is loving yourself. One is loving other people, especially when they're frustrating you or annoying you. And the third is loving what is even when things aren't going to plan, even when it feels like a struggle. Would you like individualized coaching to help you apply this in your own life?

Ep. #44: Self Coaching Tips

Did you grow up as a straight-A student, always aiming to make the teacher happy? Did you go into your career and motherhood with high expectations for yourself on both fronts?
