This may be news to you, but I’m guessing it’s not. Being overwhelmed happens. And maybe you have your own tactics for dealing with those moments when you feel overwhelmed to help you move through and beyond them. But if not, here are four helpful ways I’ve learned to decrease my moments of complete burnout and feelings of overwhelm and help me move forward in a healthy and positive way.

Isn’t it just time to start feeling better, happier, and more fulfilled?

Well, yes, I think it is! Here are my six revelations and practices that have made my journey to discovering and keeping myself in a state of self-love. I hope these inspire you. 🤍

Here are some of the habits and practices I’d like to build In 2023, along with the disclaimer that sometimes I will likely throw all of these out the window and enjoy a burger (lettuce-wrapped) and a glass of wine.

This December, as I reflected on 2022, what I learned from others, what I learned about myself, and what I’d like to take into the new year, I realized that for 2023, there’s a clear set of guidelines I’d like to follow. Here is part one on relationships.

Instead of new year’s resolutions, why not release these five things in the new year?

I spent my fortieth year working through these questions, reframing my goals as a mother, partner, professional, and woman over forty. And I don’t have the answers, to be honest. But, this month, I turned forty-one, and a peace settled over me. Here’s what I realized as I moved from forty to forty-one and am now solidly in my “forties.”

Mothers in today's society, at least in the United States, are expected to be there for their children's every need. They also ought to work for personal or financial reasons and take care of all household needs. Of course, there are the outliers. The mom's who work and have a partner at home take care of the family's day-to-day concerns. But in general, women now are expected to take care of everyone and everything but themselves. It's the #Momlife expectation that's, in fact, grinding us all to the bone. And that unrealistic expectation is causing severe burnout and depression across the board.

I've found that where I focus my attention and where I gain attention from are truly interconnected. I recently read a quote from Henry David Thoreau that sums up how I am starting to focus and channel my time, energy, and personal awareness; it goes, "Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." Read the full post on attention-seeking, and how to focus on the right things.

As women and men supporting women, we need to normalize the everyday discussions about all aspects of womanhood. As a middle-aged woman, a mother, a business owner, and a wife, I am yearning to foster open communication with my children, friends, and family about womens’ existence.

Instead of resolutions, I believe that you need a plan. And not just any plan, not some loosey-goosey list of high faluting things you’ll never accomplish, or a gushy statement of acceptance that is actually just stunting your growth. I mean a real personal strategic plan that looks at your accomplishments, strengths, weaknesses, and realistic goals for the new year. Will you accomplish all of your pursuits in one year? Likely not, and that’s OKAY! A well-thought-out personal strategic plan isn’t about pressure or dooming yourself for failure; it gives you an incremental path from point A, where you are, to point B, where you want to be. And at the end of this year, if you sit down and create this personal roadmap again for your life, I will bet you that you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come!

At 40-years-old, you can accept that you are worthy of breaking through the surface of your hopes and dreams, and goals. You are worthy of happiness and accomplishment. And guess what?! Other women want to hear about it! You’re not conceded or pompous if you share how you got there, did that, or overcame it. You might just change someone else’s life with your experience and example.

I can’t say I’m an expert at the process of making life changes by any means, but as I near the ripe age of 40-years-old (no laughing allowed!), I’ve begun to see some trends in my own life that might help you on your journey as a badass woman looking for that pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow. You can change your life! Don’t give up yet.

Taking vitamins doesn’t have to be hard when you’re on the go as a busy parent. Here are some hacks for taking your vitamins with you, so your kids stay healthy.

The reality was, I couldn't. I was too overwhelmed, too overworked, too overscheduled. I had become responsible for too much. There was literally no way I was going to be able to do it all. So like a frozen yogurt of responsibility, the tasks, and events, and commitments kept swirling around and around me until I was totally covered by soft-serve, sticky bullshit. This was when I learned one of the most valuable lessons of my life: You can do anything you want, but be careful what you ask for...so let's start there, shall we? Read the blog on the biggest lessons I’ve learned from life mistakes.

When you meet Jessica Sturzenegger, CEO and cofounder, Amara Organic Baby Food, you’re immediately struck by her positive and warm personality, as well as her clear passion for health and wellness that can be delivered through food. Here is her story on the Entreprenista Mama blog.

To change our perceptions of women, who they should be, and how they should express themselves, we first must understand why it's so damaging to tell people to be 'less emotional.' We women cannot advance the archaic, sexist institutional behaviors that lay like a layer of ice over our emotionally numb hearts without re-finding our emotions, our instincts, and our power through sensitive thoughts and actions!

2020 was a year of chaotic change, and 2021 will be the year of intentional transition. Things will continue changing for us on a local, national, and global scale, and it's up to all of us to be open and ready for those transitions. I am taking that mentality to heart both personally and professionally, which I believe deeply will be the key to success for this coming year and years to come.
