Purposeful Priorities – Intentional Momlife with Jesus

218: Unleash Your Brain Power: Conquering the Never-Ending To-Do List for Good

Is your never–ending to-do list weighing on you?
Did you know that your to-do list could be the very thing keeping you overwhelmed?
Are you ready to kick the to-do list for good?

In this episode I share some neurological details about what happens in your brain when you live off a to-do list. Please note, I’m not a neurologist, but I’ve lived a life from both areas of my brain and I’m here to testify that one way is significantly better than the other. Yet so many moms don’t know this truth and allow themselves to stay stuck in the defeat of zapped energy, brain fog, and more.

I’m a believer in awareness being the first step to getting out from underneath the overwhelm and chaos and I am excited that I get to walk alongside the committed mommas ready for change. Once you clearly understand these different parts of your brain, you can more easily recognize which things in your life you can shift to live from a place of habit and routine.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Are you desiring more balance in your life?
Could you be striving for balance, but it’s actually creating more stress and overwhelm in mom life?
What if there was another way?

In this episode I take a look at balance and share why I honestly dislike the word.

Then, we dive into the word harmony and all the goodness within, leaving you with some practical steps to create harmony in your life.

206: Feeling Stuck? This One Belief Could Be Holding You Back From Peace and Productivity

In this episode I share how these phrases, and ones similar, are often the very thing holding us still in life. I talk about how we are often the biggest culprit in determining the outcomes in our lives and the ways we so easily stand in our own way.

I want to empower moms, no matter the season of life, that they can get clear on what matters most to them and find a way to yes in whatever God is calling them to.
