What shoe shopping can teach you about time and choices
|
Reader, I had this grand, ambitious plan to finish the revised version of the Starter Guide for Career Moms so I could tell you about it in this week's newsletter. I had forgotten I was supposed to go shoe shopping this morning with my son before the birthday lunch with my mom. There goes the grand, ambitious plan to work on the starter guide and get it done before this newsletter gets sent... If you're a mom reading this, or even someone with multiple priorities on your plate, I'm sure you're familiar with this - unexpected things that upend your plans. You could get frustrated that you never have enough time for yourself. Or be mean to yourself and say that's why you'll never make it. Maybe even point fingers at others and let resentment brew.

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...
