Reader, You know how they say if you want success, you have to show up like a pro. They say the difference between pros and amateurs is that pros show up no matter what. Amateurs show up only when they feel like it or when they can. I'm a pro mom and wife then. Because I show up for my family no matter what.
I was supposed to show up like a pro in my business today by publishing a podcast at 9am. It's what I committed to get done, to myself, for my business. But I ended up doing mom and wife things because it was needed. At first, I felt bad - I made it mean I was showing up as an amateur in my business. Being 'inconsistent', breaking my word and the commitment I made to myself. But then, I realized that's not true. I was just choosing to show up as a pro wife and mom. Don't let people or what you hear make you feel guilty or ashamed for making choices that feel right to you. Trust your maternal instincts and intuition. They guide you to do what's best for your situation. Ironically, that's also the topic of today's podcast. How to let go of expectations so you can enjoy the process of working towards your goals with more joy. I finally got the podcast out almost 12 hours later.

If you don't know what this is, sound healing is an ancient practice that uses the power of sound vibrations to promote healing and relaxation. The idea is that since our body is made up of 70% water, these sound vibrations and frequencies help calm you. When your energies are out of...
Reader, Do you take the boring, everyday, mundane routines for granted? I did and never thought I'd miss my daily routines so much after a 2-week family vacation! Anticipating the trip was way more fun than when we were actually on the trip - never thought I'd say this. After 2 weeks of vacation time, I couldn't wait to get back to my boring, everyday routines! Many people think the success they want is found in the latest trend, strategy or hack. Or adding more to their plates. When...
Reader, I need to start this with a disclaimer: this is not financial advice and I'm not a financial advisor. Instead, I share my personal experience controlling my money instead of letting money control me. This is my version of making the money I need for the life I want. It's not just about making all the money in the world. Because I'm not sure I want to be that sort of a person or do what it takes to have that much money. In this week's podcast episode, I give a different take from what...
