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 kids' childhood and start being present for it, start enjoying it.

I believe in John 1010 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.

Hey beautiful friends, thank you for listening to the Purpose Show today.

It means the world to me that I get to be a part of your day and your life and your motherhood if you're one of my Mama listeners, which most of you are.

Today, we are going to just quickly dive right in and just talk about some secrets for how you can navigate the really busy full seasons of your life.

Well, and really show up well in those times of life, because while I am all for simplicity and rest and balance, sometimes you just have a really busy week or really full month or really busy season that you're walking into.

And you know that it just has to be that way for whatever reason.

And I think it's really easy to become overwhelmed and sort of mentally cluttered and get negative about the busyness you're facing.

And then you walk into it cranky and kind of in this victim mode, and it's just not good. That's not that's not what we want to do.

That's not how we want to end up living our lives. And we know what do we know? What Annie Dillard always says.

How we spend our days is of course how we spend our lives. And so if you're spending all these seasons of fullness cranky and in victim mode, you know, not only are is that not good for you, like you're training your kids that that's how you handle life when it kind of doesn't go the way that you want and it's busy and it's just not good.

This is not how we want to live our lives. And sometimes life just gets really full and thick and busy. And we just we don't want to handle it in victim mode.

Right. That's not what we really want. It's just kind of what we naturally tend to choose to do. And we want to not do that. And you know, just being transparent with you guys as always, I sometimes naturally fall into kind of a depression when I'm super overwhelmed.

And it's just kind of my mind's way of letting me know that it's a lot and I need to either clear some of it out of my way or have a perspective shift and like shift my mindset.

So I think it's really beneficial to listen to your body, listen to your mind, take it one day at a time, one step at a time, learn to become intuitive and make changes as needed.
