It was Jan 2017.
Goal: Donโt feel overwhelmed
Things that contribute:
- Perfectionism
- Narrow thinking > hyper-focus in the moment
- No clear vision of goals
- No clear โline in the sandโ at work
- Children crying
- No outlet for stress
- Internalizing feelings
- Feeling out of control
๐๐ฝI found this journal entry yesterday while following a nudge to declutter.
It took me back in time.
Starting 2017, my daughter was 11 months & my son was 3.
Everyday was bottles, daycare, work.
I was just off pumping.
I was a leader in a Fortune 500 manufacturing company.
I tried working through this goal for 2.5 more years solo.
In a vacuum.
Making slow progress.
And, Iโm seriously impressed with my 2017 self - she had ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ insight.
โ๏ธ Reconciling internal thoughts and expectations.
โ๏ธ Wanting a vision and clear direction to work towards.
โ๏ธ Establishing boundaries.
โ๏ธ Recognizing she needed to care for herself, too.
โ๏ธ Managing emotions.
โ๏ธ Needing to find her own center.
Can you relate?
Itโs been a journey for me to 2024.
A journey of growth each step of the way.
One that continues today.
What does overwhelm look like for you as a woman balancing a corporate career and motherhood?
PS. If you are going through this feeling isolated and in a vacuum too, DM to find out how I can help. โค๏ธ

Stop talking about what you aren't.
Insteadโฆ
Talk about what you ARE.
As women, we are quick to cut ourselves down for what we are lacking.
Instead of celebrating the strengths and characteristics that make us great.
As moms, we are quick to point out all the things we're not doing.
Instead of celebrating all the ways we are amazing moms.
And when we do these things, we lose sight of what we are:
๐ช๐ฝ Resilient
๐ช๐ฝ Strong
๐ช๐ฝ Capable
๐ช๐ฝ A good listener
๐ช๐ฝ Quiet
๐ช๐ฝ Smart
๐ช๐ฝ Motivated
๐ช๐ฝ Effective
๐ช๐ฝ Inspiring
๐ช๐ฝ Accomplished
๐ช๐ฝ Independent
๐ช๐ฝ A problem-solver
๐ช๐ฝ Humble
๐ช๐ฝ Knowledgeable
๐ช๐ฝ A planner
๐ช๐ฝ Persistent
๐ช๐ฝ Visionary
๐ช๐ฝ Creative
๐ช๐ฝ Efficient
๐ช๐ฝ A leader
๐ช๐ฝ An expert
๐ช๐ฝ Trustworthy
๐ช๐ฝ Relationship builder
๐ช๐ฝ Appreciative
๐ช๐ฝ Harmonious
๐ช๐ฝ Responsible

Welcoming a childโฆ your 1st, 2nd, or 3rdโฆ
It's a transition.
One that my client Stephanie was stressed about.
After moving across the country, she was overwhelmed trying to put down roots, plan to welcome her 3rd child, and navigate the transition of becoming a family of 5.
Through 1-1 coaching, she:
- Unpacked assumptions about repeating her previous maternity experience
- Got clarity on the birth plan she wanted and communicated that to her doctor
- Increased her confidence around the transition
- Identified boundaries she needed
- Practiced acceptance of her approach to building community
- Opened up to help from new friends
Transitions can be stressful.
Coaching can help.
If you find yourself navigating a major or minor transition and wondering how coaching can support you, DM me to find out if my 1-1 program is a good fit.

Tell me it's sick season without telling me your kids are sick. โฌ๏ธ
These little medicine cups are everywhere.
Our house is on the tail end of โthe crudโ (๐คฃ medical term)
To all the parents who are:
- nurturing sick kiddos.
- sick yourself (sharing is caring!)
- balancing year-end responsibilities
- not wanting to get others sick on the holidays
I see you.
You aren't alone.
Let's do the best we can today. โค๏ธ

When you struggle to feel like you are good enoughโฆ
As a mom.
As the magic behind Elf on the Shelf.
As a host.
As a party planner.
As a spouse.
As an employee.
As a daughter.
As a boss.
As a friend.
Acknowledge your inner critic.
The one that feeds you that BS.
Tune out the voices of others.
Turn away from the thoughts of what others think.
Then, tune into yourself.
Tune into your higher knowing.
Into your essence.
Your core.
You are worthy.
You are enough.
And you are doing a good job.
Take it from me.

A powerful tactic to confidently make a change:
๐๐ฝ Get support.
It's a common practice for high performers.
"Coaching helps you stop the crazy mind chatter in your head that tells you all the time that you're not good enough.โ - Oprah
If you are a high-achieving working mom looking to up your confidenceโฆ
- to change your relationship with work
- to change your work / life balance
- to change the way you speak to yourself
- to confidently make decisions
- or to get clarity on what you really want
Here are two ways to work with me in 2024 to accelerate ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ progress.
