The Streamlined Motherhood Podcast

Last week we covered what to do if you’re experiencing a problem that makes you feel stuck in your life, which I called tunnel vision. If you missed the 4 steps to overcoming tunnel vision, go back to episode 28 before listening to this one because they go together. Today, we are going to dive deep into creating a new vision for your family life. I cannot think of a better time to do this work than right now. Let’s get to it.

Feeling stuck on the daily? Struggling with a problem you just can't seem to solve? This episode really builds on what I talked about in last week’s episode on leaving the comfort zone and what the last 18 months or so have looked like for us. What I want to talk about in this episode is what to do if you’re in a situation where you can’t see clearly where you’re going because the problems at home are creating tunnel vision.

This episode is going to cut to the chase of what I’ve been thinking about lately and processing. It’s about getting out of the comfort zone that many of us are currently in and being brave enough to forge the path that you know you are meant for. I’m going to get a bit vulnerable and real with you, something that I don’t always do. Let’s get real, talk truth, and jump on in.

When we think of who we truly want to be as women and mothers, habit shifts usually come to mind as the first step. I'm going to challenge the idea that you need to change yourself and instead encourage you to dig deeper into who you are called to become. This episode will not only give you the tools to change habits, but to choose the right ones for you.

A daily rhythm creates a flow to your time together as a family and provides stability and security during a time of uncertainty.

Values vulnerability is a concept I coined in which the choice to live by your values, especially if they are out of the box or unusual within your extended family or community, can make you feel more vulnerable in making that choice. If you’ve ready for a new path for your family, but are feeling afraid, this episode is for you. I will teach you exactly how to overcome feeling vulnerable or judged by others for your choices and to feel strength and joy in becoming who you are meant to be.
