- Why we might be conditioned to put ourselves last
- The “ambitious identity paradox”
- The biggest myths and misconceptions about “balance” that set working mothers up for failure (and what to believe instead)
- Dropping the ball and knowing whether it is glass or rubber
- The importance of knowing yourself and your values in parenting and at work (and how to figure out what those are!)
- The “secret gift” of parenting and how it can be the most fertile ground for professional development

Show Notes: Dropping the Ball on Purpose
Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #155 of The Secrets of Supermom Show!
I know that, especially for busy, ambitious moms like you, taking the time to plan your year can often take a backseat to other more pressing tasks. How can you possibly decide what you want to be doing in December 2024? Someone is yelling “Mom” from upstairs, this dishes are piled in the sink, and there is a funky smell you simply cannot locate. Life is chaos.
However, I know without a doubt that the path to your best year ever is with a clear plan, vivid goals, and an intentional strategy to stay consistent even when things get hard or scary.
On January 7th I am hosting a 3-hour mega workshop where we walk through the whole process of planning your best year ever LIVE to actually put it into action. No more waiting to schedule that coffee date with yourself. This is IT!
If you are committed to making 2024 your year, I can’t wait to see you in the workshop! Head to www.secretsofsupermom.com/plan to get the early bird best price. We have a seat saved just for you!
