Kelly is on a mission to improve women’s well-being by helping us focus on an important project – ourselves.<br> If you’re a regular listener, you may remember Kelly from <a href="http://sunshine-parenting.com/2018/05/11/ep-36/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Episode 36: Project Me for Busy Mothers.</a><br> Kelly lives in London but previously lived in Madrid, Spain. It was there that she met our mutual friend, <a href="http://sunshine-parenting.com/2018/05/04/ep-35/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jill Stribling</a>. I am grateful that Jill connected me with Kelly, as I have been inspired by both our chats as well as Kelly’s encouraging emails and resources.<br> Kelly’s website, resources, book, and in-person workshops have provided hundreds of women with the tools needed to improve their well-being, one life area at a time. Her newest project, Project WE, starts in 2019 and provides an online forum for collaboration and support for women seeking to do their Project Me in community with others.<br> BIG IDEAS<br> <br> * When Project Me was created over 10 years ago, Kelly’s initial goal was to organize her own life and find balance in 8 key areas (see Project Me <a href="https://myprojectme.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Life Wheel</a>). She created the framework of her methodology over time and with the help of monthly meeting with two girlfriends (her “Power Posse”). This led to her blog, online programs, and her book, <a href="http://amzn.to/2sQfMDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project Me for Busy Mothers: A Practical Guide to Finding a Happier Balance</a>, all of which have helped thousands of mothers to “learn how to put themselves on the front burner.”<br> * She discovered that connection with others is a critical component to success. Just as her “Power Posse” informed her journey as Project Me came to be, involving others in the process of meeting one’s goals provides support and accountability.<br> * In Project WE, Kelly is creating a community of growth-mindset, like-minded women to check in with, create action steps and help develop the habits necessary to keep each other on track.<br> * There will be two parts:<br> <br> * Access to resources for individual work through:<br> <br> * Video Training<br> * Audio Insights<br> * Expert Interviews<br> * Resource Library<br> * Q&amp;A Vault<br> * Action Sheets<br> <br> <br> * Community resources, such as:<br> <br> * Group Challenges<br> * Monthly Project Life Wheel Check-In<br> * Space to Share and Celebrate<br> * Tools and Strategies to Help Us Help Each Other<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * The 8 Parts of the Life Wheel<br> <br> * Productivity and Time Management<br> * Family<br> * Love<br> * Health and Well-being<br> * Work<br> * Fun &amp; Friendships<br> * Money<br> * Personal Growth<br> <br> * Work on one thing at a time. Activities which combine more than one focus area can help to create more balance.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * Project WE membership is designed to help you find your focus, better manage your time and energy, find a happier balance, connect, become a magnet, and build a life you love.<br> <br>  <br> QUOTES<br> <br> Audrey: “Loneliness and isolation are the biggest issues people have now. We’re so much better together.
