Preparing for 2026 as a Busy Mom: Simple Steps for an Intentional New Year | Ep. 49

If you’re anything like me, you love goals…but you’ve also learned the hard way that goals don’t magically happen just because we write them down. (Dangit)The real change... the lasting, sustainable, life-giving change... comes from the ACTIONS we build throughout the entire year.In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the exact process I use to prepare for a new year as a busy mom who does not have hours to sit with a planner and dreamy music in the background. This is simple, prayerful, intentional, and totally doable even if you’re juggling kids, work, laundry, and the million other things December throws at you.I’ll also share how I choose my word of the year and why it helps me stay intentional throughout the year ahead.This is your invitation to walk into 2026 with intention instead of pressure, and alignment instead of overwhelm.⸻✨ Here’s the power in today’s episode: • Why “goals” alone don’t work and what actually moves the needle in a busy mom’s life • The simple categories I use to evaluate my year (and how yours can look totally different) • Two questions that create instant clarity for the year ahead • A real-life example from my own goals that shows how to reverse-engineer meaningful change • How to create action steps that really happen • The five steps I use to choose my word of the year • The way intention shifts your rhythms, your motherhood, and your spiritual life • Why this entire process can be done in 30–60 minutes and can even be broken up into smaller chunks of time (#MomLife)⸻Listen in if you want a realistic, prayerful, and practical way to move into the new year with intention, alignment, and rhythms that actually fit your real mom life.EMPOWERED RESOURCESFree Empowered Puberty Checklist for Girl Moms- Grab it ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Empowered Cycle Charting for Her- Check It Out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Period Kit- Check out RedDrop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LITerally Magazine!⁠⁠⁠Subscribe HERE for 10% off!⁠⁠⁠*Don't forget to apply the code ADRIANE10Learn more about LITerally Magazine ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠!RELATED EPISODESEp. 11- Decision Making: Teach Her to Use Her B.R.A.I.NEp. 15- Birthday Reflections- Confidence, All or Nothing, & Real SurrenderCONNECT WITH ADRIANEInstagram- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@empoweredpubertypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@empowered_womb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EmpoweredWomb.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email- [email protected] TO MAKE A DIFFERENCEFOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on your favorite podcast playerRATE the podcastREVIEW the podcastSHARE this podcast episode with a friend!
