In today’s episode I am sharing the 2nd step to creating a balanced life: clarity. There are 3 things you need to know: where you are headed in your career, what your day-to-day priorities are and exactly what a regret-free looks like to you. Clarity is the roadmap to a balanced life and it will help you start making confident decisions around how to spend your time and energy with ease. This is step two of a 5 step process.
Balance is a feeling. It is not found in a perfect set of circumstances, it is found inside your body. This is an important distinction to make because the process to creating balance isn’t found in changing your job or working less hours, it’s found in YOU. You are in control of creating a balanced life and it is only possible when you are feeling confident in yourself and your work. This is part 1 of a 5 part series covering the proven 5 step process I teach inside, The Ambitious and Balanced Working Mom Collective.
Coaching is a process of not just finding balance right now, it’s about figuring out how to create it from here on out. On today’s podcast I am interviewing a past client, Ali Gorsuch, who stopped coaching with me over a year and half ago, but the impact of coaching has had a lasting effect. In this interview Ali speaks about how the coaching we did back in 2019 helped her to get a recent promotion, move across the country with ease and feel present and connected with her kids. She shares some of the tools that had a profound effect and that she continues to use on a daily basis.
To become a confident decision maker, you have to start making decisions in a different way. There are 4 distinctions that separate confident decision makers that ensure they don’t procrastinate, people please or perfect (the enemies of all decisions). In today’s podcast I will cover each of the distinctions and why they are so important.
Career happiness is an important part of creating work-life balance. And for many working moms, this leads them to consider making a change in their career. But change feels scary and they got lost in the options and the “what-ifs”. The reason for this, is because they are going about the career change in the wrong way. As a coach for working moms I have a specific method I use to help my clients take the guessing game out of the job search and in today’s episode I am going to share it with you.
Emotions are not meant to be avoided…they’re meant to be felt. When you give yourself space to feel your emotions, they don’t linger as long, you feel more in control of them and you don’t allow them to build up to an explosion. In today’s episode I am sharing 7 truths about emotions and how to give yourself space to feel them.
As a working mom your brain is likely always "on". You are constantly thinking about the things that need to get accomplished and the decisions that need to be made. For my client Cathy, these constant to-do’s, the second-guessing of herself, the need to make sure she bought the right products and was always prepared…this constant chatter in her head was preventing her from being happy and present in the way that she wanted. In coaching, Cathy learned several tools to help manage all of the thoughts in her head and the overwhelm that came with it and on today’s podcast she is sharing her top 4.
There is a secret to feeling confident. To prioritizing your own needs. To feeling in control of your time and turning off your work brain at the time that you want. There is a secret to getting out of procrastination and learning how to make more decisive decisions. You ready for it? The secret is learning how to self-validate. In other words, to stop needing someone else to tell you that you’re good, that you’re doing enough and that you’re doing things right. You can simply choose to believe those things without ever needing someone else to tell you so. In today’s episode, I will show you how.
