87. The Secret to “Doing It All”

I think every mom wrestles with this at some point—the pressure to “do it all.” You know what I mean, keeping the house clean, cooking healthy meals, homeschooling or running kids to activities, looking put-together, maybe even working or having a side hustle on top of it, not to mention homesteading goals like gardening, baking, or canning. Somewhere along the way, culture told us that being a “good mom” means juggling it all perfectly, all the time. But truly, none of us can do it all, and the pursuit of that impossible standard only leaves us exhausted, discouraged, and sometimes even resentful in sneaky ways like towards the ones we love. What we can do is learn how to simplify, set realistic priorities, and create rhythms that actually work for our family, not for Instagram, but for the people sitting around our dining table. So in this episode, I share what I’ve learned about how to get it all done, and what that even means to our family.

I hope this episode encourages you, that “doing it all” really isn’t about accomplishing more, it’s about choosing less by redefining what “all” means to you. When you let go of the hustle to achieve the ever unattainable “all”, you create more space for peace, joy, and memories in your home. Thanks so much for joining me!
