Feeling stuck? Try this prompt to reset and refocus for 2025

Do you think slowing down means you’re a slacker and lazy, Reader? January can often feel overwhelming. We start with big plans, but post-holiday blues get you down and you lose focus and momentum by February. If that’s how you’re feeling, maybe this prompt will help you regain clarity and focus: What’s 1 thing I can release today? Don’t censor yourself when answering this. Just write down everything that comes up. Handwriting with pen and paper is best, because it allows all your thoughts and feelings to flow more easily, in a stream of consciousness style. This is how you’ll find golden nuggets of insights. With clarity comes confidence. If you’re ready for a reset, click here to book your 30-minute MAP Experience Session. I use MAP to help moms release the overwhelm and stress so they can find relief, gain mental clarity and emotional calmness to focus on what's most important. Click here to book your call. P.S. I 'resorted' to meditation 10 years ago. I say resorted because I used to think meditation was a complete waste of my time. But actually, it helped me feel so much better, to the point that I could take baby steps to improve the state of my time, energy, relationships and money situations. That eventually led me to be a certified MAP coach. I wanted to go in-depth to learn everything about MAP and mastering my mind and emotions. Eventually, I started sharing MAP with other moms to help them let go of overwhelm so they can regain focus. It's been a life-changer. If you want to try it, book a MAP Experience session with me. |

None of those were good options. I knew it, but knowing it didn't make it any easier to open my mouth in a meeting. As a child, I was praised for keeping myself busy in my own corner and not bothering the adults, and in primary school I spent five years in the B class, never quite making it into...
Growing up, I never thought about money. My dad earned it. My mum ran the home. When my brother and I went overseas to study, my dad paid for all of it. Money was just there when we needed it. So without knowing it, I grew up with a story. No matter what happens, someone will take care of me. I never questioned it. I didn’t even know it was there. Until life put it to the test. What I believed in no longer made sense My husband and I quit our jobs to start a café. It didn’t work out. We...
This month, I settled my son into university in the UK. I talked about it on my LinkedIn post HERE. It was exciting, a little heartbreaking leaving my son there while I came home. Then the bills started arriving and all the old stress and anxiety about money resurfaced, even though the money was there. It was more a timing issue. Some funds just hadn’t come in yet. But I felt it. That familiar tightness in my chest. The quiet panic I used to live with every day. I hadn’t felt it in a long...
