In this episode, I share an unfiltered and honest reflection on where I’m at—navigating the demands of motherhood, handling external expectations, and reminding myself (and you) that we are enough exactly as we are. I talk about learning to work in sprints instead of marathons, the importance of boundaries, and how parenting looks different for everyone. There’s power in choosing what feels right for you, honoring your emotions, and allowing yourself to dream of more.
I also touch on the beauty of resetting and realigning, embracing both gratitude and growth, and believing that everything we desire is already on its way to us. This episode is your permission slip to trust yourself, set boundaries, and hold space for the version of you that is still learning, growing, and thriving in your own way.
Key Takeaways:
🌟 Sprints vs. Marathons: Understanding that working in sprints helps maintain momentum, while long-haul efforts can feel draining.
🌟 Parenting on Your Own Terms: There’s no “right” way—do what feels best for you and your kids.
🌟 External Expectations vs. Inner Knowing: We can’t control others’ expectations, but we can choose how we respond.
🌟 The Power of Boundaries: You’re allowed to step away from conversations or situations that drain you.
🌟 Embracing the Reset: Life is full of opportunities to realign, refresh, and move forward with clarity.
🌟 Manifesting and Holding Space for More: You are worthy of the dreams you hold in your heart.
Suggested Next Steps:
✨ Reflect on how you best work—are you more of a sprinter or a marathoner? Adjust accordingly.
✨ Set (or reinforce) a boundary with someone whose expectations feel overwhelming.
✨ Take a moment to express gratitude for where you are now while allowing yourself to desire more.
✨ Give yourself permission to rest, reset, and realign as often as needed.
