Most people wait for a crisis to start living with intention. This episode is your invitation to stop waiting.   After attending a funeral for someone who lived with “no wasted days,” Leslie Randolph reflects on how easily moms can slip into autopilot – checking boxes, managing schedules, and losing sight of their own joy. She shares how the loss of her father during the height of COVID became a turning point, waking her up to the difference between managing life and actually living it.   This episode is a call to trade burnout and disconnection for intentional living. Leslie walks listeners through the first, often overlooked step: self-awareness. She offers strategies to help moms get honest about how they’re feeling, notice what they need, and take small but powerful actions toward a more fulfilling life.   From setting boundaries to rediscovering joy in the everyday, Leslie offers a roadmap for moms who are ready to stop going through the motions and start showing up on purpose for themselves and the people they love.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Living with Intention vs. Autopilot 02:10 Personal Wake-Up Call After Loss 06:58 How Moms Can Start Living More Intentionally 09:51 Responding to Your Needs with Small, Powerful Shifts 12:02 Why Awareness Without Action Doesn’t Work 14:54 Building a Life of Connection and Purpose   Connect With Leslie: The Summer of Self-Love Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence Website Instagram Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
