You keep feeling defeated because you make plans, set goals, and you’re ready to go.
Then … life happens.
➡️ the dog gets sick
➡️ the car needs an oil change
➡️ you need to make an ER run to the grocery store
It’s inevitable that something comes up!
Well, what if there was another way?! What if you could have both?! The plan and #momlife happen to you … Well, in today’s episode we say that “You CAN!”
Listen in to this behind-the-scenes coaching call, where Cara is problem-solving with a club member to get plans back on track … in a realistic way.
Cara’s noticed that this “off track” is happening a lot. AND she used to teach: pre-plan, pre-plan, pre-plan. But over time she’s found that, when life throws a curveball and you have to rearrange the plan, it can feel really demoralizing, and like you’re a failure.
So here’s what Cara does instead. Plan more on the front end and while planning less detail.
Sounds confusing?! It won’t be after this episode.
