Hey Reader, Every January I notice the same thing with working moms. The new year feels like a reset. But then the months go by and many moms end up doing the same things they’ve always done. That’s not a failure. It’s how patterns work. Patterns are things we do over and over. Some patterns are helpful. For example, putting your child to bed at the same time each night helps them sleep better. When you change that pattern, everything feels off. Patterns create order. They help life run smoothly. But some patterns don’t help us at all. I see this often with working moms:
