Mom life. We're surrounded with the message that it's the tired life, the no time for myself life, the hard life.

And while it is hard and full of lots of servitude, the idea that motherhood means a joyless life is something I'm passionate about putting a stop to.

I'm on a mission to help you stop counting down the minutes till bedtime, at least most days.

I want you to stop cleaning up after your kid's childhood and start being present for it, start enjoying it.

I believe in John 10-10 that we are called to abundant life, and I know mothers are not excluded from that promise.

Join me in conversations about simplicity, minimalism, and lots of other good stuff that leads to a life of less for the sake of enjoying more in your motherhood.

I'm Ali Cassaza, and this is the Purpose Show.

But I had to just stop and restart this episode like two or three times because I was in this like mentally rushed state.

And I quickly helped Brian like get the kids, the boys ready for baseball, get the other two kids ready to go with him so that I could have the house to myself for an hour and record this episode and get a little bit of writing done.

And I just was like rushing around and getting everyone's shoes together, helping everyone get out of the house.

Like I grabbed a snack, I grabbed a coffee, I'm trying to hurry up and finish the coffee because I'm tired today.

And I need it and I'm quickly drinking the coffee and I'm responding to a text message from someone on my team and troubleshooting a problem all while sitting in my desk chair and like barely breathing and about to quickly hit record on this episode.
