From Overwhelmed to Aligned: Reclaiming What Is Most Important in Your Life

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most important—and often overlooked—questions: Are you keeping the most important thing, the most important thing?

We’ll explore why it’s so easy to lose sight of our priorities when life gets busy, how to identify what truly matters most to you, and practical ways to realign your actions with your intentions. I’ll share some personal reflections on my own struggles with busyness and productivity, and how I’ve learned to slow down and show up for the people and things I say matter most.

We’ll also talk about the common disconnect between our intentions and actions, particularly when it comes to health and wellness. Why do we start the day with good intentions, only to give up by lunchtime? And how can we create systems that support our goals without relying on willpower alone?

Finally, I’ll introduce my 30-Day Mom Strong Transformation Program, kicking off on January 1st. This is your chance to start the new year with intention and clarity, building the habits and mindset that will carry you through 2024 and beyond.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why distractions and busyness often pull us away from our priorities.
• How to identify your “most important thing” and make it a daily focus.
• The role of decision fatigue and how systems can help you stay on track.
• How mindset shifts—like my personal mantra “Frustration is not my story”—can change the way you show up in life.
• Why progress, not perfection, is the key to lasting transformation.
• Practical tips for staying consistent with your health and wellness goals, even when life gets busy.
