Tired Of The Hamster Wheel? Here's How One Mom Got Off

Have you ever started the day excited about your goals, but felt deflated by the end because nothing was accomplished? Typical day in the life of a busy mom; where finding balance is hard, and self-care goes out the window once the kids wake up, coffee runs out, and life begins. Marissa Franco, a Georgia-based business executive and mom of two, can relate. She felt stuck when the pandemic hit and her hamster wheel kicked into overdrive—neglecting her commitment to fitness, her mental health and dreams. “I got entrenched and in a dark place mentally, where I felt like I wasn’t in control of myself or my goals.” Change came in the form of a self-development tool that helped her transform her daily juggle into a life of clarity and abundance.  READ MORE

Want To Get Better Rest? Try These Sleep Tips For Busy Moms

Getting good rest these days takes more than just hittin’ the pillow after a long day. For us busy moms, there’s often a science to it. Did we finish work on time? What’s for dinner? Have we solidified a solid bedtime routine for the kids? Have we spent time with our partner? Have we had a moment to decompress? There’s so many components that factor into if we snooze on time, and get quality rest that we deserve. In a live chat with Talesha Savage, of Mothering Tea, I shared tips about improving the quality of rest for busy moms and the power of sleep masks. Talesha also shared sleep hacks and talked about the healing nature of tea. CHECK OUT OUR CONVERSATION HERE.
