Building Without a Blueprint
from Free to Be Mindful Podcast | Helping Professional Moms Find Calm in a Busy World · host Vanessa De Jesus Guzman, LPC, NCC
Seven years ago, a mom broke down in front of her during a home visit, and that one moment cracked open everything. Not a business plan. Not a five-year roadmap. Just a clear, quiet knowing that moms needed support too, and that she was going to be the one to build it. What came next was seven years of showing up without a blueprint, figuring it out season by season, and learning that intention carries you further than any plan ever could.What You'll Learn:✅ Why knowing your why holds everything together when the how is still completely unclear✅ What fifteen years of marriage and seven years of business have quietly taught her about what it actually means to nurture something✅ How allowance, not pushing harder, is what's made the most room for real growth✅ What it costs to want to do everything at once, and what her kids keep pulling her back to✅ A guided reflection to help you name what you're nurturing right now and what it would mean to bring intention, allowance, and compassion to itChapters00:00 Maycember Kickoff01:41 15 Years Married02:25 Seven Years Mindful02:35 Origin Story 201804:17 From Hustle to Shift05:46 No Blueprint Needed06:34 Intention as North Star07:48 Allowance and Evolution08:41 Collective and New Baby10:15 Compassion and Presence11:31 Trusting Whats Next12:34 Gratitude and Thanks13:57 Invitation to Work Together14:28 Reflection and ClosingSend us Fan MailSupport the showNJ RESIDENTS, WORK WITH VANESSA Book a free 15-minute therapy consultation https://www.freetobemindful.com/contact LET’S STAY CONNECTED 🎧 Podcast: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast 🎁 Free Resource — 120 Coping Skills: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskills 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counselorvdejesus/ 💛 Coaching for Moms: https://www.amigamoms.com 🎤 Speaking & Workshops: https://www.freetobemindful.com/speaking 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/counselorvdejesus/DISCLAIMER:Free to Be Mindful Podcast episodes are for educational purposes only and should not be considered as or substituted for therapy or professional help from a licensed clinician.
