Summary

Are you the kind of mother who keeps adding more and more things to your plate without giving any consideration to moving certain things OFF the plate to make space for the new stuff? Do you just keep piling and piling and piling until things start to fall off the plate, causing you great anxiety, or the entire plate breaks from the pressure and weight of too many things? Ahhh, the overwhelm of motherhood. Something I’ve noticed - especially among super driven, perfectionistic, people pleasing moms - is that we really struggle to deprioritize anything when certain things need to be prioritized. Instead, we just keep prioritizing alllll the things. Like, we want to prove we can handle all the pressure. We want that gold star for holding it all together - even in times of crisis. We want the extra credit. 110%. A++. “I’m fine”, you tell yourself and everyone around you. But you’re not. And that’s ok. When moms are going through something tough, a tough day or week or season, you have the opportunity to do things differently. You don’t have to keep doing all the things. In fact, the universe may be screaming at you to STOP DOING ALL THE THINGS. In this episode, I talk through how to shift your mindset and your action steps in order to keep going without drowning in tough times. If you feel like you need permission to shift your expectations, say no, hold boundaries, take space, and let yourself laugh in the face of adversity, this episode is for you.

0:53.2	Hello, shameless moms. Happy Monday. I'm looking forward to our conversation as always. This episode
0:59.0	is not holiday specific, but also can totally be made to be holiday specific. So if you're
1:06.2	listening in live time, it's just a couple weeks before Christmas, maybe less. I don't know. I've lost track.
1:12.1	It's the middle of December. And so I know oftentimes when we're listening in live times in,
1:17.3	you know, hectic seasons, we want to apply all the information right then and there. So you can

1:36.1	random day of chaos that you can no longer, that you feel like you can no longer manage in the
1:41.0	middle of what maybe would otherwise be a great week because that's just how life is. So we're going to talk about tips to help keeping you going or tips to helping
1:50.8	keeping going in tough times. And I think this is an important conversation because first of all,
1:58.3	I think that we don't normalize how often we're in tough times. And I also think
2:04.7	that because motherhood is a constant roller coaster in so many different ways, I think that sometimes
