The ONE question I ask to prepare for a survival season [Episode 375]
Description
As I got ready to welcome our fifth baby, I kept coming back to one question:
What would this look like if it were awesome?
Instead of bracing for survival mode, I asked better questions and came up with simple, practical solutions to make this postpartum season calmer and more enjoyable.
In this episode, I’m sharing the four things I focused on during pregnancy to get ready, plus how you can apply these same principles to any survival season in your life.
You’ll hear:
-
The mindset shift that helped me stop dreading survival mode
-
What I prepared (and what I didn’t) to make meals easier
-
The simple system I created to keeps kids happy and busy
-
One powerful question to help you set up your own support systems
Whether you’re heading into a big transition or just want to feel more supported in daily life, this episode is full of ideas you can make your own.
