For When Your Best Isn't Good Enough [Episode 350]
Description
Do you ever feel like your best isn’t cutting it? Like no matter how hard you try, you can’t keep up with what it takes to run your household?
I hit this wall recently in my fifth pregnancy. Despite giving it my all, I couldn’t maintain the peace and systems I was used to. But through this struggle, I discovered something important about the standards we set for our homes.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
-
Why linking household management to family peace is a flawed mindset
-
How to shift from feeling stuck to finding solutions
-
The reality check about “normal’ capacity versus survival mode
-
Why this challenging season has become an unexpected gift
-
A new way to think about our household standards
Whether you’re in a survival season or just feeling overwhelmed by your current systems, this conversation might help you move from despair to hope.
If you’re struggling to figure out how to do the things you need and want to do, I have a free training for you. Head to thrivinginmotherhood.com for the Plan a Week You Can Win workshop.
