If I were to ask you right now why it's difficult for you to keep your house clean, what would you say?

Why planning really is everything (and the plan means nothing) May 23, 2023

Show notes

One of my favorite quotes of all time is, "Planning is everything, the plan means nothing." attributed to Dwight Eisenhower. I've used it here on the podcast and in my courses to signify the importance of planning + strategizing, even when the plan could change without warning.

At the beginning of our recent vacation, this became even more evident. Today, I'm telling you the story of how last minute travel changes had less of an effect on us because we spent so much time in planning mode.

What to do when you have zero motivation to clean May 18, 2023

Show notes

If I've said it once, I've said it a trillion times: motivation is a myth or rather, the idea that you NEED motivation to get things done is a myth.

Motivation is unpredictable and a variable we just can't count on. When it comes to not wanting to clean the house, low motivation is coming in hot at the top fo the list.

But I'm going to show you how to have a cleaner home and a routine that works for you even when you have zero motivation to do it.

The self care habit I can't live without May 02, 2023

Show notes

I'm a firm believer that self care is deeper than the every now and then occurrence of luxuries and indulgences. Don't get me wrong, a pedicure is incredible. So is a bubble bath. So is a blow out. All other these things are forms of self care, but assuming that moms are only allowed to care for themselves a few times a year is yet again putting our needs last while everyone else's come first.

Self care is a non-negotioable for me and I have one simple habit that I couldn't live without and it's going to be different than anything you're expecting.
