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.

All right. We have a lot to cover today. And I have to start with, I'm sitting here with a huge

glass of wine. It's a first. It's a first in the Shameless Mom Academy. We're now a drinking academy as well.

So the reason we're drinking is because it's 7 o'clock on Friday night. No one's at my house.

So if I'm going to be home alone on a Friday night, I may as well be drinking, right? Vince and Vinnie went camping for the weekend.

And so I actually, one of my favorite things to do, I think

And I'd be like, cool, I'm opening wine. And I would get out my wine and just get a bunch of stuff done between like 6 and 8 p.m. while I had my wine. So it occurred to me when

Vince and Vinnie left on their camping trip for the weekend, I was like, oh, I can work late.

Because the most exciting thing to me about having them gone for the weekend is that I don't have a

timeline. Like I don't have to have dinner at a certain time. I don't have to, nothing has to be on a

timeline. We're not working around nap time. We're not like taking into consideration that certain someone might get up at 6

a.m. in the morning. There's no schedule. This is so exciting to me. So my whole day kind of blew up

today and I ended up not getting done any of the work stuff I needed to do. So I was like, oh, but I can do it all
