Remember that show Daria - this girl hated most th

Remember that show Daria - this girl hated most things and really hated gym class?!

That was me.

I would do anything to sit out of gym class and heck, I even failed my health class my freshman year in college because I just didn't want to go.

Fast-forward a few years and I was in network marketing helping women with their health and fitness and down 70 pounds.

Now, almost 10 years later, I may have branched out of health coaching but have kept exercise as a habit I do everyday.

And as a busy mom - I want to encourage you to do the same. While we might not love exercise it is SO important for us to keep our energy going and grow our confidence.

And on this throwback podcast episode, we're chatting about just that!

Creating healthy meal plans, stopping the emotional eating, and weaving exercise into your day does not have to be hard.

In this episode, I chatted with @therealjennifernagel about how to have an easy health and fitness routine --- during the back to school time (that's coming up quick!) and how to add a few minutes more to your self-care will change your life.

we covered -

- how back to school is the best time to create a self care and workout routine
- tips for emotional eating
- meal planning tips
- getting in exercise when things are busy
- how stress impacts our body

Have you ever thought - who am I to chase a big dr

Have you ever thought - who am I to chase a big dream?

Thought that you were undeserving or ill-equipped for that little lingering in your heart?

I've been there too! I had a huge speaking event at NASA and the feelings of imposter syndrome were HUGE and started to derail me from the real purpose and focus - making a difference and an impact for moms and parents.

If you've ever struggled with feeling enough, feeling imposter syndrome or feeling good enough to go after someone you want, let's chat today about how amazing you are! I'm throwing some major inspiration your way on the podcast today and would love if you shared your big scary dream with us in the comments below!

#dreambig #youvegotthis #momsizeddreams

Have you ever heard that quote by Ellen Johnson Si

Have you ever heard that quote by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, "If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough" ? I've always loved that. And been a firm believer in that philosophy too. But don't worry. I'm not going to leave you hanging alone with your big, scary (aka- impactful, amazing, exciting) dreams! I'm going to help you make them a reality :)

Are you ready for a deep dive into creating an action plan for your goals? I hope so because in today’s episode I'm spilling all my secrets that are hard to find anywhere else!

A step-by-step action plan, anyone?

You may want to get a notepad and pen for this episode or maybe save it on your podcast player for a re-listen later. Because I go all out to make sure that you can walk away today with an action plan for your dreams.

If you are spinning your wheels, and write down the same goals year after year because nothing ever happens to those dreams … let’s pause right now and spend some time here and now to create a vision and plan for the goal you have burning on your heart.

Here’s a quick overview for a quick screenshot 😎

Your five steps to creating an action plan for your goal so you can smash your goals, build your confidence and dream some more:

Step 1: create your vision
Step 2: break down your goals properly <<< this is key
Step 3: creating habits
Step 4: making a plan to fail
Step 5: collect your data

In this episode, I chat about things like:

-How do you find your dream anyway? What is the thing you want to achieve? How do you figure out what you are good at?

-When your goal is not working … be a goal detective + here is how …
- Your daily to-do list and how to structure it

-What happens when we fall off the bandwagon and are drowning in our goal failure. How do we get back on track?

-Mom guilt anyone?! While working on your goal, guess what --- this is going to happen … How do you deal with it?!

One of the biggest shifts we can make when it come

One of the biggest shifts we can make when it comes to our productivity is going from being reactive to proactive.

There are a lot of things that pop up and can throw us off our goals - but there are also things that we know could potentially happen. So, instead of being surprised when they do, I suggest you make a proactive plan to help with the speed bumps.

What are some ways you can be proactive with your productivity?

💕Plan in buffer time or thought catcher blocks
💕Determining your obstacles in advance and how you can combat them
💕Creating a vision to know how to pivot

I'm chatting all about this strategy on the podcast today. I'd love to hear your favorite take away from the episode! Just search purpose driven mom wherever you podcast or Comment for the link!

Are you on the struggle bus with dinner prep, meal

Are you on the struggle bus with dinner prep, meal planning, and cooking? Are you having a hard time getting it together in the kitchen? … If your answer is " Heck Yes!” then this episode is for you.

Last week on the podcast we are talked about meal planning and how you can actually achieve meal balance in your life. I know that a lot of times we say that balance is impossible --- but our guest today @healthymamakris , will walk you through her system for meal and dinner prep that ANY mom can stick with it.

-What do you do if you have picky eaters?
-What does “balanced” in the kitchen actually look like when it comes to meal prep and meal routines?
-Can you enjoy the meal planning/cooking process?
-Can you ditch the food-negative thought patterns about what you SHOULD be eating?

Let’s get practical, let’s get simple, and let’s create a routine that works for you.

And this routine is what Kris calls “Balanced Eating.” Not in a negative way or rule-based way but … Kris defines balanced eating as eating in a way that feels good for you. Whoo-hoo!

Part 1: You need to know what balanced eating is and --- what it is not.

Part 2: You need to eat foods that are satisfying to you and taste good so that you can FINALLY throw away that “food rule book.”

This is just a “taste” ( hehe .... pun intended 😋) of meal planning without rules and meal planning for your lifestyle that we chat about in today's episode.

Let’s ditch that overwhelm of where to start with meal planning, and as Kris would say ... “Start with what you already have and with what is already working!”

Boom, mic drop! Listen in for more juicy truth bombs. DM for the link or search Purpose Driven Mom Show wherever you listen!

I work with a lot of moms who struggle to find their dreams. They get started but life throws them off and they put things (and themselves) on the backburner. Or maybe they just don't even know what they'd want to accomplish and feel lost.

I can help you figure out a plan to accomplish your goals and find time in your day to make it work and develop routines in your home to make things easier on everyone. But I promise you mama, that these things will be so much more EXCITING if you're working towards something you're actually passionate about!

So, today, take a few minutes and dream big! If you could work on one goal right now.... what would it be?! I can't wait to read about your dreams below.

As I come back from vacation I'm realizing what a

As I come back from vacation I'm realizing what a busy busy busy season it's about to be. And if I'm not careful - a lot of my top priorities and tasks are going to get put on the back burner (aka me time or time with my family!)

This week, I sat down and reworked my time blocks so that they fit with our current schedule and let me have time to get done what needed to happen. I used to live and die by an hour by hour schedule - until I became a mom.

Time blocking is the concept of looking at your day in extended period of time instead of hour by hour.

Hourly schedules used to work great for me. When I was teaching and in the classroom, I had a million things to remember. I had to be at many meetings throughout my day, show up at certain times and follow a ton of deadlines.

When I left teaching 5 years ago to become an entrepreneur and work at home mom, I thought that using an hourly schedule like I did in the classroom would keep me focused and on point.

Instead, it led me to burn out FAST.

I had left teaching so that I could have more freedom, be more in control of my time and allow my job to align with my top priority – my family.

I found that by using an hourly planner I was stressing myself (and my family) out, felt more overwhelmed and behind and didn’t have a system that I could use to run my home that left space for us to just be human. Instead, I switched to time blocking and changed the game!
Now I had structure AND flexibility. I had urgency AND was in control of my time.

For the rest of the week in my instastories, I’ll be doing an entire series on time blocking so make sure you check it out! What questions do you have about time blocking? Does it work for you?

One of the ways that I’m able to manage all my mom work at home and in business is to create systems which I do in Trello.
I take a deep dive into Trello in this throwback podcast episode so I can show you that it is the best (free) tool to run your home and keep you organized.

What is Trello anyway?!

Trello is a free visual-heavy project management software. You can use Trello to manage all things for your home, plan your sister’s wedding, organize family chores, meal planning for the next 3 months, and break down your big goals.

Look at Trello as a mom and it will be your new hidden gem!

Listen in to hear the 5 boards I cannot live without (and how they make everything a million times easier!) You can find the episode here >> www.apurposedrivenmom.com/podcast101. I also have a really exciting Trello FLASH SALE happening NOW! DM me or comment below for the deets!
