Do you find yourself setting big goals and then sabotaging yourself? You don’t know how to get out of your own way. You tell yourself you will never get it all done. You allow your boundaries to be crossed. You get in your head. You tell yourself you can’t do it or how dare you even try.
Our guest today is Chelsea Wessman, a popcorn-loving, wife and mom of 3, living next to the Utah mountains. As a Productivity Coach, Consultant, and Speaker she works with female entrepreneurs to grow their businesses while still prioritizing what matters most through her signature coaching programs and small team workshops.

- Why do we get in our own way as busy moms who genuinely want to get a ton done
- Mom guilt and how it stops us in our tracks
- What questions to ask yourself when mom guilt pops up instead of making it mean something about you or your parenting

- Reacting to urgent fires vs. being proactive with our time
- Focusing on what would make you feel productive and successful instead of simply getting things done

Before we kick off today’s episode, have you joined the challenge? Summer flew by, we are heading into the final quarter of the year, work schedules are crazy, we are in the midst of back-to-school madness, activities are in full swing, and those candy pumpkins are already front and center at your favorite Target. The holidays are looming.
Do you feel like you might have to throw in the towel on your biggest goals and just change the date on your vision board to 2023. 2022, take two?
Not this year, my friend. Not this year. This will be the year you reach those goals and end your year fist pumping in the air. This will be the year you learn to stretch time so that you not only have time for the things you want to do, but the white space to know the difference. This challenge will help you get out of your own way to make those someday goals 2022 goals with a real plan.
