Hey Reader, I asked for time away from the kids this weekend and I noticed how hard it is to get away from your kids not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It made me realize that even when I asked for time away, they were still with me. My mind was busy tracking everything: I wondered if my husband could really handle two kids on his own—especially after working so much and not having much solo time with them lately. I went away for a weekend alone in a hotel room. And still my mind stayed close to them. It’s surprisingly hard to emotionally and mentally separate from our kids, even when we finally get the space we asked for. But maybe it’s not about getting away. Maybe it’s about finding moments to come back into ourselves. All weekend, I felt the push and pull the quiet mental fight between choosing myself or choosing them. I realized it isn’t a tug-of-war. It’s something more honest than that. Moment to moment, we’re deciding who comes first. That’s the reality of motherhood. Can anyone relate? Michelle K - Your Mindset Mom Coach |

Hey Reader, Every January I notice the same thing with working moms. The new year feels like a reset.A fresh start.A chance to finally do things differently. 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...
Hey Reader, Have you prepped for back to school? And no, I don’t mean the backpacks, lunchboxes, or “Meet the Teacher” nights. I’m talking about something way more important: Your back-to-school mom self-care. I didn’t fully realize this shift until my little one started Kindergarten. Something changed in the air. Even though the weather still screamed summer, I found myself dreaming of pumpkin lattes, cozy sweaters, and hayrides (Fall is definitely my love language) Here’s my back-to-school...
Hey Reader, This morning, I got a wake up call from my 10-month old baby who decided 4am was a perfect time to rise and shine. I had two choices: crawl back into bed and pray for 30 more minutes of sleep… or sneak in a workout before the house exploded with noise and needs. This summer has been crazy with snack demands! I chose the workout but I wanted to be close to my baby. So it was in my 8-year-old’s bedroom. Because of course she doesn't want to sleep in her own bed. #momlife It wasn’t...
