Why is it so hard to wrap our minds around how doing less can create more?? Mother’s are so conditioned to give all they have and work until burn out. This can stem from a scarcity mindset and pressures placed on us by society. It is possible to let go a little and do less in order to create more but it takes relearning and being intentional. Today we are talking with Suzy Olivier: business coach, serial entrepreneur, mom of 3 and military wife. She shares with us the amazing business she has built, how motherhood plays a huge role in her business creations and the incredible boundaries she upholds in her home/business life. She is the perfect example of creating your own success while not burning yourself out and having nothing left to give to your family. Suzy is very intentional with how she goes about her days and she shares with us her many lessons and realizations!

Today I’m bringing back the one and only Jacki Carr, a dear friend of mine, goal coach, writer, speaker, and most importantly, a mother of 3 beautiful daughters.

We talk about Jacki’s recent decision to leave Instagram (along with the impact it has had on her business), the bold and crazy moves that her family are about to make, the evolution of parenting, and how she's navigating change and the motherload.

I always love chatting with Jacki - she always has so much wisdom to offer and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• Why Jacki had a “full body” decision to leave Instagram after experiencing stagnance in her creativity, plus, the mental preparation it took and new frameworks she hopes to incorporate that better align with her values
• How social media burnout led Jacki to take an energetic audit to see where her time was being spent 
• Jacki’s new Substack, which has become a space of authenticity and a more potent container for her love of long-form writing
• The bold, brave, and beautiful decision behind Jacki’s upcoming move from Colorado to the coast of Maine
• How comfort can actually lead us down a path of misalignment
