Have you ever been too scared or don't think you have enough time, experience or credentials to go "all in" on a passion/side gig/hobby so you become paralyzed by fear and doubt to even start? You have this calling that keeps nudging you, but you've heard too many times that in order for your dreams to become reality you have to dive ALL in, head first. What if we opened up a different perspective and showed you how you could answer that nudge & learn to fully commit to that calling without giving everything else up?  As working mommas who love their careers, Meagan and Lauren have diversified their interests and income by staying committed, and by prioritizing and thoughtfully planning their days. Like many of you, they have responsibilities as mommas and employees and cannot go "all in" on their side passions - BUT that doesn't mean they've ignored their passions.  In this episode, we talk through (at a very high level) how you can change your thoughts to understand how you can choose to decide to move forward on something that's been calling you without having to forgo a career that you love, time with your family, or other interests. So even if you can't go "all in" you can still be 100% committed to your passion.  We'd love to know if you've ever felt this way before and how you've moved forward.

In this solo episode Meagan highlights the last 8 weeks of her gym's transformation challenge and more importantly the transformation that came with just a quick 24 hours away. Ladies, if we aren't whole for ourselves we can't be whole for those around us. Life can get heavy and hard and stressful and we can choose to live in THOSE moments of worry and fear OR we can choose to see the opportunity for growth, for peace and for strength. We have to flex that mental muscle. I fully admit I am a work in progress and 2021 is testing me in ways I had hoped I wouldn't be tested. BUT, I am grateful for the chance to reset my diet and fitness habits over the last 8 weeks and I am excited to continue to grow in new ways for a stronger mind and body as we kick off spring and JUMP into turning the big 4-0. That said, I will likely be indulging in a cookie later this week!  Are you still holding onto the pandemic carry outs? Perhaps your reset will come with the warmer temps or perhaps you need a partner in crime. I have loved seeing my husband's commitment to this challenge as well. I urge you no matter what you are chasing: state your goals, find someone to hold you accountable, write them down, track it and watch yourself grow. There is nothing better than being proud of how you show up day in and day out and the growth you can look back and say, "wow, I did that!"  Make it a beautiful week ahead and thank you for cheering us on.  Connect with us more on Instagram @mindsetlikeamother - share your questions and fears with us and we'll address them in our podcast.

Meagan here for a solo episode all on knowing your limits and when you need to CHILL and take the time out FOR YOURSELF. vs. your kiddos. I have been mentioning that I need a night away for a few months. But you know, it's near impossible to break away during NON-COVID times let alone during a pandemic and in the midst of a lot of personal "stuff" going on. That said, I did it. I broke away. I even decided to indulge and stay in a hotel during a quick trip to my old stomping grounds during college.  My closest circle knew I needed a break. I've known for months I needed a break. I've been TOLD to take a break. That said, sometimes I am just so stubborn I resist. I feel grateful now, alone, typing in peace and catching up on work e-mails that I took this quick breather. Just like my new morning routine, the reset, the clarity will make me better and stronger for those who need me the most.  How do you reset? Who holds you accountability to pausing?   Connect with us more on Instagram @mindsetlikeamother - share your questions and fears with us and we'll address them in our podcast.

Go one step further with goal setting by using this visualization exercise.  Athletes read their playbook & they practice daily, but did you know that they also visualize their moves and how the game will go based on their desired outcome? We can do this in our daily life for our goals too. Visualization will help you see your goals before you're physically achieving them. Having a clear vision will allow for you to stay inspired even when self-sabotage kicks in and you're left feeling  unmotivated. You'll be able to kick those negative thoughts to the side more quickly because your vision will be so powerful that it takes over. You can see, taste, smell and feel your vision so much that it becomes your reality so the only thing to do is to continue taking daily action to make it happen.  Connect with us more on Instagram @mindsetlikeamother - share your questions and fears with us and we'll address them in our podcast.

2020 was rough! But when you pause and take a look back there was a lot that was learned. It may have been rough in the moment, but now that we're coming out the other side we can look back and realize what we actually took away from those tough life lessons.  Everyone handles uncertainty and fear differently, and sometimes that comes out in insecurities and projections. Have you noticed this? Maybe it's you casting your insecurities and projecting onto others, or maybe you're the one taking the hit. Either way, it's time to recognize it, change your perspective, set some boundaries and begin writing that next chapter in your story for how you want it to play out.  Connect with us more on Instagram @mindsetlikeamother - share your questions and fears with us and we'll address them in our podcast.

In this solo episode Meagan shares her personal journey in 2020 and shifting from a woe is me mindset, pivoting and eventually embracing a new direction.  Most of us claim the week between Christmas and New Years as a bit of a blur and yes there is PLENTY of wine and cheese in my life right now. But, this cheese isn't the cheese I'm typically enjoying. This cheese is change. This year I am forcing myself to be more intentional with my time even if it's during naps or early mornings and to intentionally take some breaks just for me! To close the laptop, to sit on the ground and play, to clean under the kitchen cabinets and to share openly with you all how this year has affected me. I feel pretty content at this point with how 2020 has wrapped up. That said, I am a realist and I know that 2021 is going to be a whole new ballgame and the challenges we faced this year are far from over. I have learned SO much about myself and how I embrace change over the last 9 months. Just like in the book I've been gifted twice now in my professional career, Who Moved my Cheese, we all get to decide how we handle changes in our lives.  Do you wallow? Do you resist? Do you embrace change or run head first at a new challenge? Take a listen and decide what path you are on and if it is serving you for a successful 2021 or not.  Connect with us more on Instagram @mindsetlikeamother - share your questions and fears with us and we'll address them in our podcast.
