Episode 64 Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Hi Mamas,

✨Join the 👉How To Plan An Intentional Year Workshop Waitlist Here! ✨

 

As you step into a new week, this Monday Mindset is a reminder you may not know you need—but probably feel deep in your bones.

Being busy doesn’t mean you’re being intentional.
And a full schedule doesn’t always mean a fulfilled life.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why working moms don’t struggle with knowing what matters—we struggle with protecting it.

✨ This Week’s Quote

“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule,
but to schedule your priorities.” — Stephen Covey

This quote comes from Covey’s classic book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People… a must-read when it comes to time management, values, and intentional living. So much of what we talk about here on the podcast traces right back to the principles he teaches.

🎧 In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • Why working moms spend their days reacting instead of choosing
  • The difference between knowing your priorities and actually protecting them
  • Why what matters most often gets pushed into “leftover time”
  • How scheduling your priorities creates clarity, peace, and better boundaries
  • Why work-life balance starts with intention—not more hours in the day

💛 MONDAY MINDSET CHALLENGE

Here’s your challenge for this week, mama:

👉 Look at your calendar for the next 7 days.

Now ask yourself:

  • Where am I scheduling my priorities?
  • And where am I expecting them to magically fit in?

Choose one priority that truly matters to you right now:

  • movement
  • time with your kids
  • a conversation with your partner
  • quiet time for yourself
  • rest

Then do one powerful thing…

📅 Put it on the calendar.

Not as a “maybe.”
Not as a placeholder.
But as a commitment.

Because if something matters, it deserves space.
