Do you feel like you can never win? You might be succeeding at work, but feel guilty for letting your house and family time decrease. You completed that huge to do list last week, but can barely get out of bed this week. This cycle is hard, and as women, it’s often linked to our hormones.

Over the next four weeks, I am going to break down four pieces of Time Management that I have found will help pull you out of this rut. This week, I am breaking down our competing goals, and finding successes for each lane we have. 

Could you handle one more thing in your life?

If one more person needed you for something, would you fall apart? 

You’re not alone if you feel like you give away every last bit of energy.

There’s nothing left, and you feel exhausted and defeated.

Let’s climb out of this pit! 

Here are three big buckets that can help you decipher where to start:

1. Loneliness
2. Exhaustion
3. Stress

Pick one of these and take one small baby step, and I promise it will feel great. 

You’ll have a little more energy to take the next teeny baby step, and over time you’ll make a big difference in your life. 

This is how your life is going to change. One tiny habit at a time. 

I want to help you get there.

If you have never had a strategy call with me, I think it’s time we had a chat!

My husband Sean joins me in this podcast to talk about our journey to get to a great marriage where we can honestly say we’re best friends. .

How did Sean and I get from tolerating each other- to here? 

If you’re ready to do the work to have a great marriage, here’s where to start. 

The four predictors of divorce: criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt. Let's review what they are and how they hurt us, and then determine how to change.  I know we all want a happy marriage, so let's figure this out! Even if you're doing well, this podcast will help you know what to look for and what you can do to make your marriage even better! Based on research by Dr John Gottman.

There are common pitfalls in marriage that trip us up. 

Some of them are complicated, but some of them are just plain dumb. 

The words we use to make our point can destroy relationships. 

Too often, one person will make a statement that derails the whole point of the conversation and next thing we know there’s an argument about whether some particular wrongdoing happened on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. We’ve missed the point, and now we’re arguing about semantics. How about you never use these statements again ever? Well, try.

1. My husband is always angry.
2. My wife never spends time with me.
3. He literally ignores me.
4. She hates me.
5. I’ve just given up.

The great news is, with just a few tweaks to your verbiage you can make a huge difference in your marriage. Start noticing the words you speak today!

I get these questions a lot! 

Usually parents are at their wits end- they’ve tried everything they know and nothing has worked. Seriously, lying is a difficult behavior to deal with (as you’ll hear in this podcast!)
Let’s talk about the difference between lying and storytelling, when to use consequences, and strategies to help your kids choose honesty. You haven’t ruined your kids! There’s lots of ways to help them learn to tell the truth. Keep trying to reach their heart!
