The Ultimate Balancing Act: Avoiding The "Do It All" Emotional Spiral (Ep. 18)

It's back to school time here in Texas, and that has me feeling a few emotions.    First, it feels like time is just flying by and the next thing we know, it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas time.    I'm also feeling a lot of empathy towards moms and those who work in education. While I know everyone has their struggles, I especially feel for these women because I remember being a mom working in education.   I gave no time to myself, and I'd feel guilty spending time doing things I needed to do versus what my kids needed at the time. I felt like I consistently failed at the balancing act that I believe can't actually be "won."   In today's episode, I share with you a couple stories from my past around this topic and give you actionable steps you can use to set yourself up for success at this time of year and… I have some freebies to help you even more!   Time Stamps:   (1:14) Feels Like Time is Flying By (3:30) Our Ritual and Our Pool Time (5:10) The Ultimate Balancing Act (9:05) Story Time: I've Been Exactly Where You Are (12:19) How Dare I Take Time For Myself (15:00) My Heart Goes Out to Women in Education (19:25) Do Some Idea Dumping (21:35) Recipe Packs in Show Notes (23:02) Friday Night Pizza Night (25:54) Carve Out 10 Minutes for Yourself (27:28) Evening Wind Down Routine for Your Family (30:30) Time Will Pass Anyway (31:32) Please Rate and Review ---------- Fridge calendar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8CYJ41H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1 Healthy Favorite Recipes: https://bit.ly/LoriDoddyFavoriteHealthyRecipes Get on my email list for lots of goodies: https://bit.ly/GetLoriDsEmails ---------- Schedule a Strategy Call with Lori: https://bit.ly/StrategyCallwithLori ---------- Join Lori's FREE Total Wellness community on FB: https://bit.ly/JoinFreeTotalWellnessGroup ---------- Follow Me On Instagram!   Follow Me on Facebook!
