In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, Sonia and Deirdre welcome 2025 with a fresh perspective on intention, balance, and boundaries. Deirdre reflects on her transformative journey of becoming a mom, sharing the lessons she learned during her first holiday season with baby Grant, moving into a new home, and returning to work with a completely reframed outlook.
She opens up about the power of slowing down, shifting priorities, and letting go of the hustle-and-bustle mentality that once defined her life. With newfound clarity, she explains how her time away from work during maternity leave helped her detach her self-worth from external achievements, allowing her to focus on her family, home, and intentional living. The result? A more efficient, impactful, and joyful approach to both her career and personal life.
Sonia highlights key insights, such as the importance of setting boundaries, co-creating life with intention, and stepping out of autopilot to embrace conscious decision-making. They discuss themes like "letting yourself" as much as you "let them," a concept popularized by Mel Robbins, and how aligning with your true values opens the doors to effortless manifestation.
Listeners will walk away inspired to:
- Simplify their lives by adding back only what truly matters.
- Set boundaries to protect their energy and priorities.
- Reframe their relationship with time, slowing down to create moments of joy and presence.
Whether you're a new parent, someone seeking work-life balance, or just looking to live with greater purpose, this episode is packed with golden nuggets of wisdom to help you start the year on the right foot.
