Description

This is Day 3 of The Mom Life Series: 3 Days, 3 Shifts. Over the past two episodes, we’ve talked about systems that lighten your load and how to step out of the invisible leadership role at home. Today, we’re wrapping up with the shift moms resist the most — prioritizing themselves. Spoiler: it’s not actually about time. It’s about creating the mental space to see yourself as a priority and starting small, without waiting for life to calm down.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why “finding more time” is the wrong problem to solve.
  • How mental bandwidth (not hours on the clock) keeps moms stuck.
  • Why systems + shared leadership are key to creating space for yourself.
  • A simple way to start carving out time for yourself this week.

Resources & Next Steps:
Making yourself a priority isn’t selfish — it’s the foundation for being able to show up with energy in every part of your life. If you’re ready to go deeper with this work, I’d love to invite you to my 1:1 coaching program.  Doors are open now and spots are limited.
