Why do we women tend to avoid activities or pleasures that we think of as being indulgent? There is a philosophy or a deep-seated cultural belief at play in motherhood currently that glorifies motherhood as a time of sacrifice and service to our families, to the detriment of our own needs.

Have you heard of the Big Snooze? It's the idea that whenever you're about to take a leap into the next level of your life, your brain will most likely freak out and create corresponding drama.

On this podcast, I commonly share ways to overcome your own struggles, to be an example for your family, and create the change you want to see in the world in your home first. The way that I teach this is through knowing and living by your family values. In this episode, I'm going to share how the crises of 2020 are the catalyst for refining your family values and beliefs, while making sure you're actually living by them. This is not a light episode and I will be talking about current events. But this work is necessary and so let's jump in.

Do you ever feel like you can't get anything done because your kids, your partner, your home, or your situation is holding you back?

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. It's the idea that you can't see outside your situation because each day looks exactly the same. 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. And I mean right now. It doesn't matter if you're listening to this the day it comes out or in 3 years. Do this work right away. Let's get to it. Show notes can be found here.

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 really 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, but it needs to happen. This isn't a parenting episode, this isn't going to give you tips for how to create routines or anything else comforting like that. We've had enough of that. 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. For the full show notes, head here.
