Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #86 of The Secrets of Supermom Show!
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 this year? What if instead of “there are only three months left” you thought “I still have three whole months”.
Because here is what I think. 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, and even the extra time for all those holiday cookie parties. This challenge will help you get out of your own way to make those someday goals 2022 goals with a real plan.
Join us for the How to Actually Hit Your 2022 Goals This Year 5-Day Challenge. Sign up at secretsofsupermom.com/goals!
