Here’s How To Do More Of The Things You Promised Yourself You’d Do
Before Becoming a Mom

Do you feel like you're drowning in expectations?

With everything you need to get done in a day...

With all your family needs from you...

And the way you thought your life would be.

The quiet moments are few and far between, but when you do slow down, you feel empty.

Of course you love your family–

But you have been pushing down your own dreams for so long you're forgetting who you are.

You know you need more.

Take care of yourself, they say.

Go after your dreams, they say.

But how can you when the demands on your time never end?

It leaves you feeling trapped between the pressure to be a good mom and the desire for something more–

Just a little something for yourself that you can feel proud of.

Listen.

Are you ready for motherhood AND–

Motherhood AND time for yourself

Motherhood AND personal development

Motherhood AND making your mark in the world

Some of us would even like motherhood AND a shower ; )

Here’s the secret.

Before:

I was that mom whose best moment of the day was sneaking Oreos in the pantry. 

Outside of the pantry, there were dishes in the sink and toys on the floor, and little people demanding my attention– 

All. The. Time.

Even though I started the day with the best intentions, at 5:00 when dinner was cooking on the stove and the kids were underfoot and fighting and begging for food now and making more messes, I turned into a screaming lunatic (again).

Stop that right now!

Clean that up!

Just wait already!

Be patient!

I’ve told you a hundred times not to do that!

More Oreos in the pantry, this time with a nice side dish of guilt for all the ways I’m not measuring up.

I was doing all the things for all the people.

And I felt like I was failing at all of it. 

I longed for more, but how could I add anything else when I was making a mess of the job I was supposed to be doing?

 I felt trapped in the daily grind of mom life and there wasn't room for anything else.

There wasn't room for me.

Like you, I want to be a good mom.

You know you only get one shot at this, and because of that it's easy to tell yourself you'll do what matters to you later.

Maybe you want to write a book.

Or run a race.

Or become an Instagram influencer.

But there are meals to make, and carpools to drive, and messes to clean.

So maybe, like I did, you convince yourself that your dreams will come later. 

That someday, you'll have time for you.

But not now.

And you try to convince yourself that putting your own needs last makes you a good mom.

But the reality is, you're losing your sense of self.

And you can't be the kind of mom you want to be if you don't even know who you are anymore.

My kids still make messes. (Just this morning I found a pocketful of melted candy bar in my son’s school pants.)

There are still dishes.

There’s still laundry.

And those kids still need to be fed every night.

The difference?

Me.

I learned how to be a better parent.

I learned how to run my home better.

And I learned that when I have those skills

it doesn't have to take every moment of every day to do it right. 

I didn’t have to fight for 20 minutes of free time each week just to get my ducks in a row.

And I didn’t have to keep trading everything that I wanted for everything that my husband and kids needed from me.

Instead, all it required was getting clear on my dreams and prioritizing time for myself.

At first, it was hard to do anything for myself, because my mind was so used to being the mom all the time that it felt unnatural.

But little by little, the changes began to show:

I learned to stay calm when everyone around me is falling apart.

I learned systems that keep my home running smoothly and staying clean enough.

I found space to start dreaming again, 

And time for myself to work on my own goals.

It's called the MOMS Method and it will work for you too.

(And I have 5 kids! So, if I can do it I know you can too!)

You don’t have to stay stuck with the way things are now.

These days, I feel like I’m finally in control, rather than being behind before the day has even begun….

Importantly, I now have the support I need to stop being a stressed out mom and actually start enjoying my own life because I besides taking really good care of my family, and these days I also have time for me.

And because I know how exhausting it can feel to be a mom, and how disheartening it can feel to have to put off your whole life for 20+ years to raise your kids…

(and also how guilty it can feel for even having those thoughts in the first place…)

I decided to create a program to help other mothers with the same issues.

We focus on implementation. When it comes to how you should do mom life, there are tons of opinions and so much information out there. You don't need more of that! 

What you need is a focus on making changes and taking what you learn into your day. The MOMS Method will help you to take everything you learn and make a plan that's right for you to implement in your own home.

There are so many things you need to know to run a family. 

But most of us were never taught the basics of how to manage a home, keep it clean, manage our emotions, and schedule our time well. These are skills you can learn. Mom University gives you training for the jobs you're already doing so you can do them better. This is real education for your real life.

And here's the best part. When you get better at the things that are now keeping you busy and stressed all day, you free up time. 

You will be able to start that side hustle selling sourdough, or pick up your camera again and start taking pictures. You'll realize that you don't have to wait to do things for yourself, because you will have freed up the space to do motherhood AND.

I love this program... I can’t even describe how much value I’m getting out of it. In our first call I had goosebumps and tears, literally. Sometimes I have this slight arrogance because I’ve been doing coaching for over 10 years now...and since this program has started, I just feel humbled, honestly. I feel humbled to the ground. Thank you god for bringing this program into my life because this gives me exactly what I need right now.

I've become more mindful of what I'm doing daily and weekly and monthly. I've always been a daily kind of person with a to-do list. I just had that to do list, but [before] What was what on my to-do list wasn't moving me towards my goals and now I have a plan moving me towards my future goals.

-Natalie M.

I know now that I have all I need to do the things I want to do. Now I can manage my time better and ask for support more freely. “I have all the time I need” is something I get now. Thanks for that one!!! I am so grateful for all the lessons and tools I needed.

-Ashley L.

I feel empowered to be the best version of myself. I've been able to dedicate additional time to my business without feeling overwhelmed or guilty. I still have times where I feel stressed but I know I can get back on track and I have the tools to do it. I am more intentional about all areas of my life. I believe in myself and in my dreams and my ability to achieve them.

Deep down you know time is running out.

You have to change the way things are going in your family NOW in order to help your kids...

And yourself.

Because the thing is, there are no do-overs, where you get to go back and do it right…

The time is passing quickly and you only have so many years with them still living in your home.

You need to figure out NOW how to build relationships with your kids that will last, so that they’ll want to be a part of your life even when they grow up and move out.

You need to figure out NOW how to keep juggling all the responsibilities while somehow creating happy childhood memories for your kids.

But, despite your best efforts, it seems like you don’t have enough time, enough energy, or enough patience to change the way things are going.

You know you’re stuck doing the same things over and over again and you know it’s not working.

You are going to be the change you want to see in your family: 

You are going to stop running around exhausted trying to do it all. 

You are going to stop reaching for the chocolate just to make it through the day.

You are going to stop putting yourself last and feeling like the demands on your time never end.

You are going to start keeping your house running efficiently; staying up on the chores with simple daily habits so you make more time and space for yourself.

 
Instead of micromanaging everything your kids are doing, you're going to start creating systems that will give you more time and space in your days for your own goals and dreams.

You're going to start to implement real, tested ways to take care of yourself and be a better mom than you've ever been.
