Summary

Expectations these days feel like … a lot. When your energy is finite and the demands on you feel, well, INfinite, we find it helps to begin with self-awareness. What drains your energy as a mom? When are you naturally at your best? If you’re depleted, is it physical, mental, or emotional energy that’s in shortest supply? And if you’re in a low-energy season – whether it’s a day, a week, a month, or a year – can you reprioritize and reframe so that you’re not further weighed down by guilt or unrealistic expectations? Sarah and Meagan look at these questions and more in Episode 327. Join us!

0:36.6	it's a Thursday, typically, but we're recording on a Friday and I tend to have
0:40.6	good Friday energy. Yeah. Well, you do because you've got some good routines
0:44.5	around your Fridays. And I would say my energy is also very good today, but I'm
0:49.7	coming off a really busy week. So I have that like satisfaction. Like I got most of
0:54.2	it done. I'm rolling into the weekend, feeling productive and good. I've also
0:58.6	had a very healthy week. Like I've been really, I went to yoga four days in a row.

1:08.1	because it's been a very sluggish summer. So obviously if you haven't figured
1:11.1	it out yet today, we are talking kind of about energy patterns. And I think
1:15.4	first of all, you know, we're going into that school year time of year where
1:20.6	even if you don't have kids in school, I've always felt like September is just
1:24.7	a big month for new starts, fresh energy, like it's contagious. It's in the
