Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy.

I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and other passionate, dedicated moms the tools you need

to bridge the gap between motherhood and living the life of your dreams. I'm also here to help you be

a little more shameless every day, because if you aren't building a life, you're extraordinarily

proud of, what kind of legacy are you building? So let's dive in.

Hello, shameless moms.

Or should I say Aloha?

No, actually I shouldn't say Aloha because I'm back from Hawaii and that dream is like done and over with and now I'm sick.

So I have a fever.

I have a cough.

But as long as I have a little Advil under in me, it's all manageable.

So this is how vacation works, right? You go on vacation with kids and you don't really rest at all,

so then you get sick as soon as you get home. And in my case, I have to get on a two-leg trip to Asia tomorrow, which will be

17 hours of travel combined, two flights. So one is 11 hours, I think, and one is four hours

with like an hour in between or something. I don't know. It's a lot of flying. So I'm hoping to kick

this sickness quickly. And so I'm taking all sorts of supplements

and a little bit of Advil to get through my day. And I'm prioritizing. So here's the thing.

When your body's telling you to slow down, you have to listen to it. But in some cases,

you can't just stop everything. So like this recording has to get done today because it's my

only chance to record before I leave. But there's other things that don't have to get done today.
