Join the Bloom Room here: https://brittniclarkson.com/community/ Burnout, ADHD paralysis, and depressive episodes can all feel overwhelming, especially when their symptoms overlap and mimic one another. As a mom, when life feels chaotic and unmanageable, it’s easy to get stuck in survival mode.

It’s not really about ‘doing it all’ it’s about doing everything that matters - prioritization and clarity on purpose are important keys to this.  Think of the balls in the jar experiment - if you fill the jar with the littlest balls first, you don’t leave any room for the big ones to be added. You can fit a lot in, but it’s a lot of what doesn’t really matter. Fill the jar with the big ones, the important pieces first and there is air space left over, gaps that the little ones can fill in. This is balance, this is a properly full life.  In this episode we’re chatting about:  ⭐emotional health, mental health & physical health connection ⭐the growth model for prioritizing your intentions and goals  ⭐It’s actually not about juggling, it’s a self-balancing act  *********************************** Get Connected:  💃Become a Bloom Room Member: https://bloomroom.circle.so/join?invitation_token=23acbc01ddcf542d3644209bfd52a6d691b6616f-d73ce408-09c3-4e21-a5ce-296aea8cabd9 💃Follow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brittniclarkson  💃Follow on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brittniclarkson  More: 💖Planners, journals & courses: https://brittniclarkson.com/products/  💖Resources: https://brittniclarkson.com/resources/  *********************************** More episodes you'll love:  🌸130 | How to minimize your to do list and make the most of your day  🌸129 | Breaking the addiction to stress & choosing to live mindfully 🌸119 | Give your tired brain a break and eliminate decision fatigue

We don’t lose ourselves in motherhood, we lose ourselves in survival mode. We lose ourselves in the day to day rush. We lose ourselves in placing our value in the things we do, instead of the people we are.  We get caught in this trap of survival mode in early motherhood, and when we don’t intentionally rebuild our lives again, we tend to get stuck in a cycle of survival. This is where we lose ourselves.  Living a life you’re in love with means ditching the belief that you belong in survival mode. This is your sign to spread your wings and learn to fly. This is your time to rise above the crap, and remember that you are meant to bloom.  In this episode we’re chatting about:  ⭐establishing your core desires and purpose  ⭐the bare minimum habit  ⭐gaining an attitude of gratitude  ⭐overcoming the fear of change and success  *********************************** Next Steps:  💃Opt in & get your free Get Started Guide : https://brittniclarkson.com/getstarted/  💃Planner, journals & courses: www.brittniclarkson.com/products  💃Shop clearance planners: https://meanttobloom.etsy.com  *********************************** More episodes you'll love:  🌸150 | How the pursuit of joy and wonder can change your life feat. fun expert Mike Rucker PhD 🌸147 | How doing the bare minimum can help you get more done 🌸141 | Becoming intentional, what you need to know to make this happen *********************************** Support the Show: 🧡Keep the show going: https://brittniclarkson.ck.page/products/appreciation-jar  🧡Submit a topic for the show: https://brittniclarkson.com/q-a-form/    🧡Leave a rating, review or share on Instagram @meanttobloom.podcast 

Like it or not, you’re going to have to learn to love yourself if you want any of the personal growth, mental health, or happy hacks to stick. If you’re not loving yourself, you’re not really believing you’re worthy of anything better than you’ve already got.  It may be a controversial idea, but you cannot fully love others if you don’t first love yourself. If you’re not loving yourself, you’re not willing to accept the love others attempt to give you, and that means you’re not fully loving them to your greatest extent.  Self love is not selfish. Self care is not selfish. They are the basic human needs you keep trying to skip over. Letting your soul run dry for the sake of putting others first is slowly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. In that version of the story, no one wins. I prefer the story where true love saves the day. That’s your story.  In this episode we’re chatting about:  ⭐it’s all in vain if it’s not in love  ⭐what real self love looks and acts like  ⭐why love should be your top goal this year  *********************************** Next Steps:  💃Opt in & get your free Get Started Guide : https://brittniclarkson.com/getstarted/  💃Planner, journals & courses: www.brittniclarkson.com/products  💃Shop clearance planners: https://meanttobloom.etsy.com  *********************************** More episodes you'll love:  🌸123 | The #1 thing you can do today to be a happier person 🌸104 | How to be less triggered by your kids 🌸90 | How to become a confident decision maker  *********************************** Support the Show: 🧡Keep the show going: https://brittniclarkson.ck.page/products/appreciation-jar  🧡Submit a topic for the show: https://brittniclarkson.com/q-a-form/    🧡Leave a rating, review or share on Instagram @meanttobloom.podcast

You’re sitting here doubting your worth again. It’s become your comfort zone. You might be believing there’s no other way to live anymore. It can feel terrifying to step out of this comfort zone, it’s new, it’s unknown, and that’s scary.  Letting go of who you think you are is a process. It’s a give and take. It’s a back and forth. It’s a path with peaks and valleys.  It’s a leap of faith, stepping from your comfort zone of self doubt into the uncertainty of questioning your identity.  If you really knew who you are, you wouldn’t doubt yourself for a second, you wouldn’t doubt anything at all. Unfortunately, we are often quick to forget after making the discovery of who we are. It’s a process, and this is just the beginning.  In this episode we’re chatting about:  ⭐deconstructing what you know about yourself ⭐tearing down the walls that block joy and love  ⭐realizing who you are at the core of yourself  Get Unblock Your Joy - https://brittniclarkson.com/unblock-your-joy-enroll  *********************************** Next Steps:  💃Opt in & get your free Get Started Guide : https://brittniclarkson.com/getstarted/  💃Planner, journals & courses: www.brittniclarkson.com/products  💃Shop clearance planners: https://meanttobloom.etsy.com  *********************************** More episodes you'll love:  🌸123 | The #1 thing you can do today to be a happier person 🌸104 | How to be less triggered by your kids 🌸90 | How to become a confident decision maker  *********************************** Support the Show: 🧡Keep the show going: https://brittniclarkson.ck.page/products/appreciation-jar  🧡Submit a topic for the show: https://brittniclarkson.com/q-a-form/    🧡Leave a rating, review or share on Instagram @meanttobloom.podcast 

I’m so tired of hearing that moms can’t have any fun beyond going to the bathroom alone. We spend nearly 24 hours of our days in the same room as the world’s greatest fun-havers.

Here’s the thing, it’s not really the new year. Today is simply the day we reset our calendars and dive into a new planner. But in nature, this is Winter. Winter is a time of rest and renewal - the time for new beginnings doesn’t happen until March.  By all means, make a resolution for the year, set goals in that fresh new planner and put important dates on your calendar. But DO NOT get your panties in a bunch and get down on yourself for not suddenly waking up a new person today. This is literally the worst time of the natural year to try to become something you aren’t.  Here’s what I’m doing differently. I’m choosing an intention - something to aim for in the coming months, but I’m not holding myself to any unrealistic standards. I’m not going to feel bad if I fall short on my goals to get me there. I’m not going to let guilt make me quit on who I’m meant to be.  In this episode we’re chatting about:  ✔️Why your goals never seem to happen for you - spoiler: it’s because it’s not really what YOU want  ✔️How to choose goals that align with your intentions and purpose  ✔️Top 10 New Year Goals for Busy, Ambitious Mamas  *********************************** Next Steps:  💃Opt in & get your free Get Started Guide : https://brittniclarkson.com/getstarted/  💃Get the journals and planners: www.amazon.com/author/brittniclarkson  💃Shop clearance planners: www.meanttobloom.etsy.com  *********************************** More Meant to Bloom episodes you'll love:  🌸Playlist: 10 New Year Goals for Busy, Ambitious Mamas  🌸139 | How I quit being lazy and got out of my funk, again 🌸136 | 5 Simple habits that will help you live the life on purpose, instead of autopilot 🌸134 | The ONE phrase that will end your overwhelm and curb your anxiety 🍎Apple​ | 🟢​Spotify ​ | 🕸️web browser  *********************************** Support the Show: 🧡Buy me a coffee & keep the show going: https://brittniclarkson.ck.page/products/appreciation-jar  🧡Submit a question or topic for the show: https://brittniclarkson.com/q-a-form/    🧡Leave a rating, review or share on Instagram @meanttobloom.podcast

I was thinking today about the difference between a stay at home mom and a homemaker. SAHM feels confining and like a death sentence. It feels like pausing your life to raise kids, instead of building a new, full life around raising kids. Some of us lose our identity when we become moms, but for some that’s where we find our identity. So what’s the right mindset to adopt?  In this episode we’re chatting about:  ✔️setting our own standards ✔️what it means to be a ‘mother’  ✔️taking control of your own life *********************************** Next Steps:  💃Opt in & get your free Get Started Guide : https://brittniclarkson.com/getstarted/  💃Get the journals and planners: www.amazon.com/author/brittniclarkson  💃Shop clearance planners: https://meanttobloom.etsy.com  *********************************** More episodes you'll love:  🌸109 | You get to decide what success looks like for you; happily ever after happens now! 🌸100.

It’s far too easy these days to play the comparison game. We fall victim to the race of keeping up with the Joneses without even realizing it anymore. This year I’m dedicated to keeping Christmas as simple as possible and I’m taking a lot of inspiration from The Grinch. It’s not about a viral $600 tree, it’s not about having the most lights, or the best dinner party, or checking every box, or moving that dang elf every single day. Christmas magic is already here, it’s in your heart, it’s the joy waiting to be found. You deserve to enjoy your holidays. You are the magic.   In this episode we’re chatting about:  ✔️The danger of comparison in your life  ✔️Where Chrstmas magic really comes from  ✔️What your kids really need for Christmas  *********************************** Next Steps:  💃Opt in & get your free Get Started Guide : https://brittniclarkson.com/getstarted/  💃Get the journals and planners: www.amazon.com/author/brittniclarkson  💃Shop clearance planners: https://meanttobloom.etsy.com  *********************************** More Meant to Bloom episodes you'll love:  🌸134 | The ONE phrase that will end your overwhelm and curb your anxiety 🌸108 | Good moms can totally suck at homemaking. 🌸104 | The secret to being less triggered by your kids being kids 🍎Apple​ | 🟢​Spotify ​ | 🕸️web browser  *********************************** Support the Show: 🧡Buy me a coffee & keep the show going: https://brittniclarkson.ck.page/products/appreciation-jar  🧡Submit a question or topic for the show: https://brittniclarkson.com/q-a-form/    🧡Leave a rating, review or share on Instagram @meanttobloom.podcast
