Listen in on a live one-on-one coaching session between myself and one of the members of the Purpose Driven Mom Club , Amanda Lynn this week. (PS Are you enjoying these coaching session podcast episodes? Let me know in a DM!)

Amanda Lynn is a member of the Purpose Driven Mom Club, and recently had spinal surgery. She is motivated to build a workout habit that will assist in her recovery, and help her get back to good health.

In this episode we go over the steps on how to build out a plan and stick to it, come up with a vision of where you want to be in 3 months, or whatever your time period is, develop a plan that ramps up to a full blown habit, with motivations you can set for yourself to keep the process going, build the habit, and reward yourself!

Finally, we discuss the importance of creating an accountability system that will also help you in keeping with your plan and reaching your vision!

In this episode we chatted about:
- Developing your plan - start with ‘your vision’
- How to Develop plans to reach your vision
- Working through the process - how to build the habit
- How to fit your plan in to your day
- Staying motivated - use external motivators to enforce your new habit

Have you been there?
Too much on your plate?
Too many goals you want to work on?
Overloaded with information, learning, podcasts and books?
What do you do?
There are almost 3,000 moms signed into my courses. And they fall into one of two camps.

"I don't have ANY goals"
"I make TOO MANY goals"

Which are you?

And no matter which you are, I want to give you some tips today on how to figure out what to work on so that you don't feel scattered or overwhelmed.

Step 1: Make a quarterly vision
Look at the next 3 months. What do you want to accomplish? Do you have anything specific going on? Do you need to focus on something to be a catalyst for you?
This could be working on a family fun goal since it's summer time or creating a decluttering goal since your home looks like an episode of Hoarders after 3 months of Pandemic.
Create a long term vision and make some goals that fit what you have going on.

Step 2: Pick a monthly theme
Once you've decided where you want to go in the next 3-6 months, I want you to pick a theme for you to focus on for each month. By picking a theme, you're going to get really good at ONE thing instead of feeling scattered and all over the place.
Can you work on more than one thing?
Sure.
But when you focus on one thing, it allows you to spend time in one area and not be going back and forth trying to do it all.

Step 3: Create your plan
Once you have your theme, choose a goal around that topic and make a plan. I use Trello to create a list for the topic that includes podcasts, books, courses and #allthethings
I like to keep it in one place so I'm not wasting time searching for things when I have an extra 20 minutes to listen to something while folding laundry
Make goals that are super concrete, trackable, and plan out time in your day to work on them.
Find some accountability buddies and create an incentive for yourself once you've achieved it!

I can’t wait to hear if you try out any of these tips! Comment below and let me know how it’s going 💞

My Purpose Driven Mom Club Members get first hand

My Purpose Driven Mom Club Members get first hand access to the SOAR Method training- a system I developed to help break down your goals into manageable steps so you feel confident moving forward to conquer them.

Although it's fun to talk about our goals when we're dreaming big and full of energy, it's important to talk about goal strategy when you're feeling not as pumped too.

You know those days where you're feeling unmotivated or overwhelmed or just don't know what step to take next.

On the podcast this week, you can listen in to one of my coaching calls where I talk about how to approach your goals on the days when you might just feel like doing anything else.

What do you do when you just don’t feel motivated? What do you do when you’ve lost your momentum?

What do you do:

When you need a plan to simply get up and do it?

When you get really excited about something and freeze?

When you get so excited that you burn out?

When you feel so overwhelmed and have no idea where to start?

When you tell yourself when you start a new goal that you’ll “just” be motivated?

Have your goal … YES! But don’t forget to make a plan to accomplish your goal. Because that plan will help you break through your lack of motivation, bust through those obstacles that life will throw your way, and your plan will put your right motivation pieces in place.

Let's walk through this 5 step process for re-writing and re-figuring your goals when it’s not working. As you listen in on this episode … Run through some ideas of your own goals and start to think “Hmmm, this is a goal that I have, how can I go through this process as well?”

Get listening to this coaching session and make your own notes on how to foolproof your plans so you can really move forward in your goals. It’s not you that’s not working! You are great! It’s your plan. So let’s get started.

I cannot believe my rainbow baby is an official pre-k graduate! These past 5.5 years feel like they’ve flown by and today we got to celebrate this creative, independent and fierce little girl. Now excuse me while I got cry on my coffee as we gear up for kindergarten 😭😭😭

Too harsh? Hear me out, mama.

Trust me, I know how hard it is to fail. I know it's embarrassing to get rejected. I know it hurts to try and not succeed.

What do you do when life metaphorically shuts a door in your face? I've spent a lot of time working on my reaction to this. It's ok to get mad or sad or frustrated. Cry if you need to. Take the space you need. In fact, I ENCOURAGE you to do these things.

But it's what happens next that matters most.

If it's a dream that's been planted in your heart or a goal you feel called to accomplish... you have to try again. Maybe you loosened the door a little bit last time. Maybe there was an obstacle in the way. that's now been cleared. Heck, maybe you need to try a completely new door! Or a window! My point is, it's not always going to come easily. And as much as those setbacks hurt, it will make the end result that much more worth it.

If you've been around awhile, you know how I feel about the word hustle 🙄So please know that's not what I'm encouraging here. But I am nudging you to keep going when the going gets tough. Make a plan. Adjust it when needed. Ask for help. Take a new approach. Try again.

I'm here for you every step of the way, and would be honored if you would share what you're working on below. Let's leave some love + encouragement for our fellow mamas! 💞

I hosted my quarterly Goal Setting masterclass this week, and a key component I encouraged everyone to participate in was reflecting on how things have gone so far this year. Before we plan for Q3, it's really important to get a handle on how your goals went in Q1 and Q2.

You might’ve said, “I would love to grow my business”, “I would love to generate more sales”, “I would love to help more people”, and you set these goals that you wanted to achieve but life (and the pandemic!) happened.

In this special episode of the Purpose Driven Mom Podcast, I asked a few experts in the industry to share the goals they have for 2021 and their top tips for moms on how we can also reach our goals.

Listen in for bite-sized tips on how you can set priorities for yourself, stay motivated and create an action plan for your goals in the rest of 2021.

This throwback episode is JAM packed and a great little motivation for you to listen to today as you gear up for planning Q3!

You can also listen to this week's episode wherever you podcast or grab the link right here! ---> www.apurposedrivenmom.com/podcast85

Share one goal you have for Q3 below.

Mine? FINISH WRITING MY BOOK! eek!

Do you struggle with that negative voice in your h

You ever have those months where you feel like you

You ever have those months where you feel like you're just treading water? I've been there too.
And I know when it happens, that is my cue to get my routines back on track because routines are the glue that holds this entire things together!

I wanted to share with you today some tips on how you can do the same thing if you’re ready to get things moving in your house but don’t want to overwhelm yourself.

Step 1 - Create time blocks
You know that I love time blocking for making a great schedule for your home. Our blocks are things that can ebb and flow and change. I have different time blocks for my weekdays and weekends. During holidays or special times the blocks get moved around.
Ask yourself what you’d like your blocks to look like for the summer. Decide what times or events you want to anchor your day into and theme them.

Step 2- Decide the vision for your block
By starting with the end in mind, you can stay motivated and know where you want your time to go. Write out 3-5 things you’d like to get done in each block if the day was to be perfect. Now, we know it will never be perfect but you can’t start on a goal without realizing where you want to go!

Step 3 - Find your baseline data
Now that you know where you want to go, you have to know your starting point. Knowing your starting point lets you bridge the gap and make a plan. If you just start working on your goals without getting your baseline, you could make an unrealistic plan, put too much on your plate or get overwhelmed.

To find your baseline data I suggest doing a time inventory. Send me a DM if you need help with how to get start with this. Seriously! I'm a huge fan and PROMISE it will help.

Step 4 - Analyze and adjust
In doing this time inventory (and continuing to do it and get the bigger picture) I can learn a few things by asking some simple questions:
Where am I wasting time?
Where can I streamline things?
Did I leave myself enough time for

you’ll have a great picture of where your time is being spent and where you want it to go!

Now is a great time to start to craft these and help you and your family get in the groove of things for summer!

Have you done the enneagram test? I love learning

Have you done the enneagram test? I love learning about it and know that I am a textbook enneagram 3. Digging into and understanding my enneagram results has helped me improve in so many areas of my life! I made my husband take it too so I could understand him better too 😉

The enneagram is a personality test that allows you to not only pick out your strengths but also shows you your areas of weaknesses as well --- and what you can do to improve them (or work with them 🥰 ).

The enneagram is not only a great tool for your own self-awareness but it also can speak into the way you organize (or don’t organize) your home as well.

Why is clutter such a struggle?! Whether it’s emotional, physical, or calendar clutter, in this episode of The Purpose Driven Mom Show we dive into the “WHY” behind your clutter habits, using the Enneagram. We’ll uncover some of the reasons --- why you do what you do with your clutter, according to your personality type.

Today’s guest, Laurie, has done her enneagram research, worked in the professional organization industry for years, and made connections between your personality type (from the enneagram) and the clutter pitfall you may stumble across as you work to get rid of your clutter.

She says that you don’t need another blanketed “How-To'' strategy. What you need is to dive into and unwrap the motivation you have behind the things that you do in your home and with your clutter, by using the enneagram as a tool so you know where you can make your next change.

In this episode, we chat about:
-How do you figure out what your enneagram type is?
-Enneagram and your clutter
-Examples of enneagram and clutter and talking to your kids about their own self-awareness
-How you can empower your kids to help around the house
-Not using your weakness as a crutch
-and more!!
