Ep 37 // Is Your Busy Calendar Making You Feel Overwhelmed or Turning You into a Control Freak? Three Time Management Tips to Align Your HEART in Faith and EXECUTE Your Plans, While Flowing in PEACE.

When the rubber meets the road and ALL the things are in full swing when it comes to work, your kids school, extra curricular activities, birthday parties and holidays, workout routines, and family gatherings….you name it...the calendar gets full FAST!

It takes being a little, or A LOT, of intentionality to show up and give your best to all the different demands in life.

This is why I recently shared some of the things that have worked to help me structure my life during busy seasons. I don’t have all the answers...but I definitely have some insight in this area. I think I will forever be a student of time management strategies and mindsets because finding joy and simplicity in the busyness of life is a BLESSING!

That’s why we’re here right?...to process life together and discover how to be an excellent wife, an intentional mother, AND be successful in business or other endeavors ...WHILE giving glory to God every step of the way.

We get to wrestle with and explore through our conversation, the things that are going to help us not only structure our lives INTENTIONALLY, but align our minds and HEARTS to God’s Will. NOTHING is impossible through Christ.

In Episode 34, I shared meaningful time management strategies to help you get organized, productive, and purposeful with your day. I literally walked you through step by step how to create your own daily rhythm and routine.

This works well for me in busy seasons, and I’m continually looking for ways to get better and more efficient.

So, if you want me to take you by the hand and literally set up your daily workflow so you can get the most important things done and create a smooth rhythm...go back and listen to Ep 34. I think you’ll find it helpful!

Then in Episode 35, I shared exactly what to do with your lists at the end of the day so that you can bring closure to your calendar and go to bed with a full heart every night.

You know how it feels like the lists “never get done”?...well, this strategy is beautiful for helping you “wrap it up” and feel a sense of gratitude and accomplishment at the end of the day.

SO, think of these episodes of part 1 and part 2 of Time Management Secrets and today is part 3!

Now, even if you are not a calendar or list person...if you operate best “flying by the seat of your pants” that’s cool. My husband is wired that way and he gets A LOT done and is an amazing husband and father and is also successful in business!

Don’t ever feel like if your personality or natural tendencies don’t “jive” with me, that you have some kind of disadvantage.

Regardless of your method or LACK OF method for organizing your busy life...this episode is totally for YOU!

It is always about finding what works for YOU...but at the same time embracing the truth that it is NOT ABOUT YOU! I’ll talk more about this today!

Ep 36 // Has This Past Year Shaken Up Your Faith and Woken Up Your Heart? Here’s My Spiritual ‘Awakening’ Journey and What It Means to ‘Pursue Your Greatest Potential’, as you Walk in Your Purpose!

Honestly friend, 

 

This is one of those conversations that everything in me wanted to run away from because it felt too hard to tackle...to put into words what God has been revealing to me this year and articulate fully what’s in my heart, in the right way.

 

But I felt like I HAD to open up and do my best to share SOME of the pieces of what God has been doing in my heart this year. 

 

This year - 2021 - for me the ONE in this number has represented something significantly NEW. It’s felt like year ONE of my life in some ways. I feel like I’ve been “born again” and am trying to live again or rather live in a NEW way.

 

I feel like there’s been a major spiritual awakening in my heart...but ultimately the only thing I can say is that God is doing a NEW thing in me.

 

Embracing this process has not been easy or pretty...but it’s SO worth it to me and I will forever be on the journey or pursuing my greatest potential by pursuing more of Jesus!

 

In today’s episode I ask myself the hard questions and answer honestly.

 

I recently heard a quote that said "some of life's greatest answers are questions"

 

- If you are feeling stuck in your faith or questioning all you've known?

 

- If you know deep down there has got to be MORE!

 

- If you too are going through your own spiritual “awakening” and the old ways of thinking and living just don’t seem good enough anymore?

 

What you are really asking is for an EXPERIENCE. You want to KNOW and experience your heavenly Father in a way so real that all questions fade away.

 

Keep pressing in and press play on Episode 36 to hear my heart and some of what I'm learning SO FAR.

 

My prayer is that the Lord would speak to you in the process, whatever it is that YOU need to hear because He was waking up and preparing HIS bride.

 

Let’s embrace this uncomfortable but necessary and refining process together because this is just the beginning of a life of greater freedom and greater purpose here on this earth.

 

I believe that...and I'm pulling you along with me! XOXO ~Michelle

Ep 35 // What Do You Do With Your Lists at the End of the Day? How to Bring Closure to Your Calendar and Go to Bed with a Full Heart Every Night!

With the school year fully in swing for the kids, it’s a great time to re-evaluate your schedule and maybe what’s working and what’s NOT working in your life. 

 

Last week I gave you ALL the details about exactly HOW I structure my life and bring a rhythm or “work flow” to my days. 

 

The area of time management is always a place of learning because you can’t be a wife, homeschool mama, and get much done OUTSIDE of those responsibilities without being intentional with how you use your time. 

 

I laid out how to “time block” to be more productive but most importantly, how to decide WHAT to fill it with to make your days purposeful. 

 

I talked about how to decide your non-negotiables...those things that are NECESSARY and also NOURISHING to you! 

 

You’ll want to listen to last week's episode # 34 on “How to Find Fulfillment while Managing Motherhood and Business! Where I teach you Meaningful Time Management Hacks to get Organized, Productive, and Purposeful with your day. 

 

TODAY, I want to address what to do at the END of your day. How to wrap up your day and bring CLOSURE to your calendar...where no matter how chaotic or crazy the day was. No matter how much you DID or DIDN’T get done...you can always go to bed with a full heart; ready for peaceful sleep and a new day tomorrow. 

 

P.S. I want to remind you to take a minute to remind you to take advantage of the FREE gift I created JUST for you, in this very season. This is my personal checklist with some solid advice to support you as a fellow busy mama.

Ep 33 // Have You Experienced a Loss This Past Year? How to Walk Through Grief in Grace, and WITH Your Kids.

Hey friend, 

Have you experienced a loss this year? 

 

Maybe you’ve lost a loved one due to sickness? 

 

Maybe you’ve lost your health in some way? 

 

Maybe you’ve lost a job?

 

Maybe you’ve lost a relationship?

 

Maybe your dreams feel lost?

 

Maybe you’re even feeling the loss of things you’ve had to lay down, for a season.

 

Whatever that looks like for you, I think that most of us have experienced some kind of loss this past year.

 

And loss is HARD and can even make you feel LOST! 

 

As Covid has swept through the world and changed our lives as we know it, there has been some significant change that we’ve all had to face...and often it’s resulted in a loss. 

 

Where there is loss, there is also grieving. 

It’s important. 

It’s necessary. 

It’s part of the process of healing and just taking one more step forward.

 

But HOW our hearts choose to align with our reality is SO important and will impact our future - whether we realize it or not. We can grow roots of bitterness or we can bless the pain and trust a bigger picture. 

 

At the end of the day, we can grow bitter or BETTER...and I don’t know about you, but I’m here for the BETTER. No matter how messy the process looks. 

 

In today’s episode, I’ll share a bit of my own loss this year and how I’ve been walking through this with my kids. I pray that it soothes the aching in your heart and gives you some fresh perspective to keep going!  

 

Big Hugs! ~ Michelle

 

P.S. I want to remind you to go back and check out Ep 12 “Making Progress Towards Your Goals in the Midst of Grief and Family Challenges”

Sometimes you feel like you're constantly putting out fires...and that your brain is on fire and you live in a state of aggravation and stress. 

 

You don’t want to let the struggles of business and the often frustration of being a mom, keep getting the best of you. 

 

You don’t want to be a “ticking time bomb” and just stuff your emotions, to feel like you keep faking it until you make it. When in reality you’re really just grumpy all the time. 

 

You want to help your kids stop pushing your buttons with their own bad attitudes and emotional meltdowns. 

 

At the end of the day, you want to be more light, to experience more laughter, to be more FREE and carefree - you know, the way it was before all the responsibilities started weighing you down.

Ep 31 // Starting the School Year in the Midst of Covid? Gain Clarity and Courage as you Make the Hard Decisions and Prepare Your Child for Another Unexpected Year of Education.

STOP! Before you send your kids off to school, Listen to this first! 

 

Last year, in the HEAT of Covid...parents had to make the very difficult decision as to what their children’s education was going to look like for the year. 

 

With SO many unknowns, it was hard to be confident...we have never had to live through a pandemic before, especially our children. 

 

As a mother, you always want to give your kids the BEST...not only the best education, but also the protection that they need. 

 

But How? HOW do you courageously make the RIGHT decision for your child as they go back to school? ...in a world where it seems like you just can’t win. 

 

Last year, on the cusp of the school year...I shared my thoughts in a candid FB LIVE video and I wanted to share them with you again as we prepare for another school year. 

 

Unfortunately, it seems like things are heating back up again in regards to Covid and we may be faced with a similar, if not more complex situation than last year. 

 

As a mother of 5 who has always homeschooled her children, EVEN I have to consider the outside circumstances and how they affect our family. Because they DO! 

But one thing I know very well is that when you homeschool, you are ALWAYS in “figure it out mode.”

 

Because your children’s education falls on you, you can’t just send them off to school and not think about it. It is MY responsibility as a homeschool mom to continually check in and make sure that I am serving each INDIVIDUAL child well, in that specific season...in a way that also works for the entire family unit. 

 

So if you find yourself in some case of “figure it out mode” even though time is almost out before the school year begins, I wanted to share this message with you to bring you some clarity and encouragement. 

 

So stop right now and take a deep breath! 

 

First, know that you are a WONDERFUL mother, handpicked for your children and that NO ONE can do it better than YOU! 

 

As you pray for wisdom, Seek the Lord’s heart in the matter, and ask yourself the hard questions...I have confidence that you will make the right decision for your kids, IN THIS VERY SEASON. 

 

I pray that this short word of encouragement gives you the little nudge of confirmation or courage you need as you walk with your kid’s into another year of school. 

 

P.S. AND one last thing, I want to mention that I have a FREE gift, just for you! This is going to be perfect, JUST in time for the craziness of the school year. 

 

I know you’re out shopping for all of your kid’s Back to School supplies, but this resource is going to be for YOU! to help you “Find more fulfillment while balance motherhood and business, like a BOSS”
