43 • The Counterintuitive Way to Achieve Your Goals as a Mom

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

So many moms are told that if they want to achieve their goals, they just need more discipline, better habits, or stronger motivation. But if you’re a mom, you already know that advice doesn’t work in real life.

In this episode, I’m sharing a counterintuitive way to achieve your goals as a mom—one that actually honors the reality of motherhood instead of fighting against it.

I share personal examples from my own life—times when my best-laid plans completely fell apart because of kids, health issues, work demands, or pure exhaustion—and how learning to work with those constraints (instead of shaming myself for them) changed everything. I also walk you through the three types of obstacles most moms face—mental, emotional, and situational—and how each one quietly sabotages our goals if we don’t name it.

This episode is especially for you if you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad at goals,” frustrated with yourself for starting and stopping, or ashamed that motherhood seems to derail everything you want for yourself. You’re not broken. You’re just trying to use strategies that weren’t designed for this season of life.

My hope is that this conversation helps you release shame, stop pushing harder than necessary, and start creating goals that actually fit your life—so you can move forward without burning yourself out.
