When I’m working with “Type A” moms, I often notice that they’re looking for the perfect system to help them magically whiz through their ever-growing to-do list. They’re sick of feeling overwhelmed and like they can never get ahead. I share with them this: there is no perfect system…but there is a system that will…
I was working with a mom of a two-year-old, helping her put a schedule in place that included her unpredictable work schedule, and starting a new business. When I asked her about her biggest obstacle with being productive, she thought about it for a minute. Then she shared that on the days she doesn’t go…
Are you constantly thinking if you were more disciplined, procrastination wouldn’t be a problem and you would be a productivity wizard and efficiently move through your to-do list? I’ve had this thought multiple times…but the truth is, procrastination is part of being human. However, if you find that you’re putting more energy into trying to…
My husband and kids had just left for a boys weekend. I had the house to myself and I was so excited! I sat down on the couch and grabbed the remote. I could watch WHATEVER I WANTED! As I turned the TV on, I started thinking about all the different shows/movies I could watch….

I am an avid goal setter. Creating and working towards goals is one way I add value and fun to my daily life. Goals give me a purpose and a reason to push myself. They create intention behind how I spend my time. And ultimately, setting goals is just another way of planning for the…
When I work with moms, there’s a common task they feel overwhelmed by, and that’s laundry. It’s never ending. Just when you think you’re ahead, there’s another pile to be washed or folded. And forget about washing bedsheets…especially when you have young kids. You have to strip the bed, wash the sheets, put fresh sheets…
I used to have the dreaded “What do you want for dinner this week?” conversation with my husband on a weekly basis. Occasionally, he would throw out an idea, but most of the time, he said he didn’t care. This would infuriate me because it just meant I had to put in the mental work…
