Summary

I recently found myself in a funk, overwhelmed by the hustle of life post my (mostly solo) trip to England. This reality check led me to explore personal growth strategies to find balance and happiness. Embracing self-compassion, I realized that self-care isn’t a luxury but a necessity, especially for busy moms like me. Reflecting on my journey, I discovered the importance of focusing on self-improvement and cultivating practical daily habits. Understanding how to stop being a perfectionist has given me the freedom to embrace imperfections and enrich my life. This approach can guide anyone seeking personal growth towards a more fulfilling existence. Sign up as a Supporter to get access to our private, premium, ad-free podcast, More Personal.

Hi, this is Monica Packer and you're listening to About Progress, where we are about progress made practical.

I'm going to be a little bit more raw and real with you.

0:40.2

I am joining you the Monday after the Morpher Mom's Conference ended. So this is October 13th. And typically my team and I have my

0:48.0

episodes ready a week before. And when I looked on the calendar to see what I should have had ready by

0:53.6

today, I was like, I've got nothing. What I had planned on the calendar to see what I should have had ready by today, I was like,

0:54.5

I've got nothing. What I had planned was to talk to you about the three habits that are

that are helping me show up lately. And while I do have those, what's more on my mind is how I am

feeling very burnt out, tuckered out, burdened, and just done with this adulthood life.

And it's all first world problems. I'm just going to say that straight out. None of this

1:21.9

will relate to the real, real issues that are going on in the world and also outside of the privileges, which I have.

1:30.2

Meaning, me and our family are not experiencing, like, huge health issues, our financial issues,
