Are you a busy mom who needs support creating your own schedule? In a chat with the Purpose Driven Community, on Facebook, Cara shares her wisdom on time blocking and the power of micro wins.
Time blocking is a great way to create your schedule. It involves creating 3-4 hour blocks in your day where you are doing a theme of activities. This could be 3 hours in the morning that is dedicated to cleaning or 4 hours to focus on administrative tasks for your business. It is a great way to get a bunch of similar tasks done in one period of time. Time blocks won't stay the same every day because your priorities and tasks will change as schedules change for you and your family.

Do you have a hard time creating boundaries in your work and home life? In this episode of the Purpose Driven Mom Show, Cara delves into the crucial topic of setting and maintaining boundaries across various facets of life.
Setting boundaries with family, friends and clients can be a very difficult thing to achieve and maintain. It is easy for people to say yes to everything and everyone, but this can cause burnout and feelings of not wanting to let others down. Setting boundaries is a learning curve and will take time to get used to. If you are used to saying yes to everything, people are going to consistently ask you because you don’t say no. Setting those boundaries will make a statement to others that you have a firm line with certain things and you will not cross them. From that point, people in your life will adjust to it.
Cara shares a few ways to set boundaries with different people in your life. One thing to do is make a list of what you will say yes and no to. With friends or family, think about the time or money spent on an event or task to help you determine if it is a boundary that needs to be created. If you have clients, make sure to communicate things like office hours or response times so they understand what is expected. Setting boundaries with family members, like a partner or your kids can be tricky. Cara shares the best method to handle this, which is to use “I” statements and emphasizing the importance of the boundary.
Take a listen to learn more about setting boundaries with Cara!

Are you a mom who always plans at the last minute? In this episode of the Purpose Driven Mom Show, Cara shares the significance of early planning for the next month. Planning ahead keeps that flight or fight reaction down.
Planning for the month ahead is a great tactic to incorporate into your routine. One thing to do is dedicate 1-2 hours to planning for the next month and to be intentional about it. If that is too long, break it up using the 15-minute formula to ensure your goals are being captured and they are being planned properly.
Cara shares the planning process that she uses for her goals. It involves reflecting on the goals you want to work on and then having a brain dump, where you write down all of your events and goals for the month on paper or using a tool like Trello. From here, you can theme out your goals and categorize them. If one week is a bit quieter and you find yourself having more personal time, put your self care goals here. The planning process does take some time, so it is important to do it well in advance so you are prepared for next month.

Are you struggling to keep up with your goals for the New Year? In this episode of the Purpose Driven Mom Show, Cara discusses how to maintain focus on goals after the initial excitement of the new year.
So many people get excited about their New Year's resolutions. Whether it’s losing weight, eating better or committing yourself to more self care, new goals and aspirations are something to look forward to. But, all that excitement can go away once January hits and everyone is back to their regular schedules.
Cara shares the 3 things that are needed to achieve your goals as the New Year begins so you don't fall behind and lose that drive. The first thing is to do less. So many moms have a lot of things on their plate. What this does is actually set you up for failure because the reality is, you are not going to get everything done. It is best to be realistic and work on a little bit each day to reach your goals.
The second thing Cara shares is being accountable to yourself in order to achieve your goals. It can be difficult at times to hold ourselves accountable. The best thing to do is find a support group to help, such as Facebook groups or even a friend who shares a similar interest or goal. This way there is a space where you are being held accountable to what you want to achieve. The third thing Cara shares is to have weekly audits and check ins. This can be done a few different ways, but checking in on Sundays is perfect since it is the end of the week. During these audits, ask yourself a few questions. Ask yourself how the goal is going, if you are still on track to achieve it and what needs to change if you are not on track or have fallen behind.
Achieving your goals is all about planning! Take a listen!

Are you struggling with keeping on track to achieving your goals? In this episode, Cara discusses her five-step goal process and how it keeps goals exciting.
Everyone has a goal they want to achieve. For some, it's getting down to a specific weight or paying off a large debt. There are steps in setting realistic goals, but many struggle due to perfectionism. Many people feel if they mess up in achieving their goals, they should just quit. Take trying to shed a few pounds.
Some women feel if they have a cheat day, everything is gone to waste and they should just stop working out. The point is perfection is not real and mistakes make us human. As long as you are actively making strides towards your goals, you are on the right track.
Wherever you are in your journey to completing your goals, be proud of yourself!

Do you need some extra support in your back-to-school planning? In this episode, Cara tells you all about how Trello helps her stay on track when preparing for the new school year.
Trello can be used for a variety of things, such as organizing school information, attaching important documents and even keeping a shopping list. But, what makes Trello so fantastic is that you can use it on either your laptop or phone.
Cara suggests moms create a workspace for each child and add all school related forms, important dates and contact information. If there are other people who are involved in the planning, tag them on Trello so they are notified. That way, everyone is on the same page.
Trello is truly a jack of all trades. It even makes back-to-school shopping easier. The tool allows you to keep detailed school supply lists, where you can price match items from different stores to get the best deal. Who doesn’t love saving money during the new school season?
And the best part of Trello is that it is completely free!

Are you focused on the end result of your goal and because of that — are you frustrated with your goal?
In this episode, Cara talks about the importance of appreciating the journey and progress made towards goals, rather than solely focusing on the end result.
Are you measuring your progress?! Because those are the numbers that are the most important.
Here are our key takeaways from this episode:
1️⃣ The Journey Matters: Success isn't just about ticking off a to-do list. It's about the mindset changes and progress we make along the way.
2️⃣ Celebrate Your Progress: It's time to stop viewing ourselves as failures if we don't achieve every item on our to-do list. Instead, let's track our progress and celebrate our efforts.
3️⃣ Set Tier One Goals: These are new and important goals. Acknowledge your progress along the way and reframe your mindset from solely focusing on outcomes to recognizing the effort and growth made.
4️⃣ Future Morgue: This is a tool Cara uses in her planning challenges. Write a letter to your future self, envisioning how you want to feel when you achieve your goals.
Remember, progress matters more than checking off every item on your to-do list. Listen in and be encouraged!

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed with your finances? Do you want to pay off debt but don't know where to start? In this episode of the Purpose Driven Mom Show, money coach Ashley Patrick shares her debt payoff journey and practical tips for managing your family's finances.
Ashley emphasizes the importance of creating sustainable habits and routines when it comes to managing finances. Instead of making drastic changes that are not sustainable in the long run, she recommends starting with one thing at a time and focusing on foundational steps, such as understanding your bank balance and planning for upcoming bills.
To stay motivated and track progress, she suggests creating visuals and keeping a small notebook to increase awareness around spending habits. She also stresses the need to avoid an all-or-nothing mentality and to build sustainable habits that become second nature over time.
Ashley also talks about the fear and anxiety that can come with facing financial problems. She says that scheduling a time, date, and place to work on finances, even if it's just for 20 minutes, will be HUGE in creating a financial routine.
Lastly, when it comes to working on finances with a partner, Ashley emphasizes the importance of communication and compromise. Dreaming together and discussing what you want your future to look like can help you work together as a team.
Ashley's debt payoff journey and advice highlight the importance of taking things one step at a time and building sustainable habits. By doing so, it's possible to relieve the mental load of managing finances and provide more options in life. Listen in!

Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you struggle with a fixed mindset that holds you back from growth and change? In today’s podcast episode, guest Kate House shares five tangible steps to help cultivate a growth mindset and achieve your goals.
Step 1: Challenge limiting beliefs. Start by creating awareness around the little voice in your head that speaks negatively. Write down all the times you did something hard and figured it out to prove your self-limiting belief wrong.
Step 2: Face fears and do things scared. Take one step at a time outside of your comfort zone, even if it feels scary.
Step 3: Shift perspective. Seek mentorship, coaching, or join a community of like-minded individuals to help shift your perspective and gain new insights.
Step 4: Change self-talk. Speak kindly to yourself and replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations.
Step 5: Get support. Surround yourself with people who support the version of yourself that you want to grow into.
Cultivating a growth mindset takes time, effort, and repetition, but it is possible to shift towards it and achieve your goals. Remember to be kind to yourself along the way and not to give power to unsupportive people.
Remember, small steps lead to big changes. Let's take action towards our dreams and cultivate a growth mindset!

Are you struggling to focus while working from home? Do you find yourself constantly distracted by household chores or surrounded by clutter?

Add personal touches like photos or plants, and use color to create a positive atmosphere.
For mom entrepreneurs who may be working from their bedroom or kitchen table, Jessica suggests creating a small corner of a room that is dedicated to work. Use a basket or a bar cart to contain work materials, and be self-aware of your work style when designing the space. Are you easily distracted by noise or visual clutter? Do you need natural light to focus? Design your workspace to match your needs and preferences.
Jessica also shares her four pillars of an inspiring environment: unique design code, lifestyle support, space fit, and matching design style. To identify your unique design code, look for common denominators in spaces that inspire you.
Are you ready to design a workspace that inspires and boosts productivity?

Are you a mom who feels guilty taking time for yourself? You're not alone! Mom guilt is a feeling that many moms experience, but it's important to prioritize self-care and take care of yourself in order to be the best mom you can be. In this podcast episode, life coach and author Catherine Wilde shares her personal experience with mom guilt and how she overcame it by exploring her passions and prioritizing self-care.
According to Catherine, the first step to dealing with mom guilt is awareness. By identifying the situations that triggers guilt and examining the thoughts that accompany them, moms can determine if they are empowering or disempowering and make changes accordingly. Catherine also emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with empowering messages and avoiding the trap of comparison, which can lead to judgment and shame.
But how can moms communicate their needs to their families and make self-care a priority? Catherine advises getting clear on what your needs are first, by exploring your values and what's important to you in this season. Once you are clear on your needs, you can express them to your loved ones and ask for their support.
If you don't know where to begin with self-care, Catherine suggests starting small and noticing when an idea or activity brings joy. Self-care doesn't have to be a grand gesture, but can be anything that helps a mom reconnect with herself. Taking small moments throughout the day to reconnect with oneself and ask what you need, whether it's turning on a favorite song or simply placing a hand over your heart and acknowledging your own importance, can build confidence and help moms show up for themselves little by little.
Moms, you deserve self-care too! Prioritizing self-care and communicating your needs to your family can lead to a more fulfilled and joyful motherhood experience. Start small and take the time and space you need to care for yourself. You got this!

Today Cara is going to talk about why she batches things out, in particular when it comes to social media and how it allowed her to be more present and just let life happen.

She knows that when she doesn't batch things that need to get done, she feels like she can't relax, you feel like she can't rest. "You feel like you don't quite deserve that rest because. all the work has to get done still." Cara loves batching ahead to help her keep her business out of triage mode where she is putting out fires all day. But with the batching comes time to plan, think, and rest.

Working from home can be a challenge. Add in your kids, life interruptions, and general managing of all the things at home and it's a recipe for disaster.
One of the biggest things and struggles that we hear over here at APDM is that the interruptions throw us off so much and we don't know how to get back on track. Everything here at APDM is a mix of intentionality and grace. It's the proactivity that allows us to get less stressed out, feel more in control when things throw us off and create a plan that makes sense.

Today I wanna teach you a brand new system called ‘My Tier System’ that you can use to prioritize your goals. This conversation happened yesterday on a coaching call where someone had asked me this question that I get a lot.
➡️ "What do you do when you have ALL these goals?" I came up with this method, I thought this was good and wanted to share it with you today.
Because I think that a lot of times we get stuck in this place of overwhelm because we have too many goals! You have all these things you wanna accomplish in your business and your home before the end of the year, and everything feels urgent all the time. This tier system is gonna allow you to take all the goals that you've brain-dumped and make them make sense. Create the hierarchy, and let it all, kind of fit together. Listen in as I break down this system for tiering your goals to stop the goal overwhelm. The 15 Minute Formula Book by: Cara Harvey

Today I'm gonna be sharing with you my good, better, best model and how you can use it for your goals and help you actually make some traction on all those things that matter.
This came out of a conversation that I was having on one of our coaching calls in the Purpose Driven Mom Club.
What do you do when your day gets thrown off?
How do I not lose that momentum on your goals?
We know that motivation's fickle. I think often in the productivity space, we're telling people to lean on our motivation or, you just want it bad enough. But what if instead of shaming people for not completing their goals, we switch things around?
What if instead, we came up with a good, better, best models to use inside your goals? Because the thing is, life's gonna throw you curve balls. So why not be prepared?

Today we are going to talk about the first step you need to plan your business for the year. I know the year is not over, but as a business owner, you need to start thinking about what you want next year to look like. When we talk about yearly planning it’s less stressful for you because you've made a simple step-by-step plan.
Planning gets you out of, “I'm always behind” mode, and the reason I recommend you start planning for the year now in November is so that you can do it slowly over the course of the next two months.
Year planning, is intense and it takes you some time, so let’s get started right now to create that big vision for your business.

Today I wanna give you a quick tip on how to use admin blocks inside of your business. One of the things that is key when you become a new entrepreneur, when you're working from home and when you're trying to manage, is making sure you're not spending every day working IN the tiny details of your business but giving yourself space to work ON the big picture.
I made this mistake the first couple of years, but admin blocks are the absolute key to becoming and stepping into the CEO role of your company.
Whether you're just starting out, or you've been doing this for years. If you don't want this to be a hobby if you're hoping to make money, make an impact, and make a difference. You'll need to look at it like you're a CEO, and one of the ways to not get lost in the day-to-day is to schedule out what I call an admin block.
So what is an actual admin block?

Today I'm talking with Danielle Bettman about how we can start to have some intentional time with our kids as we go into the holiday season. I don't know about you, but our schedules have been booked solid lately, and as we get into November in December, it is just event after event, family things, birthday parties, and holidays, and it can be really hard to have that one-on-one time.
I also noticed around this time, my kids get a little wacky, and I think a lot of it is stemmed from the fact that we're not having as much time one-on-one time together.
Danielle is gonna help us figure out how to fit it in without playing Barbies on the floor for three hours. (because that is my least favorite thing) She really gives you a framework, but also flexibility when setting up rituals to help build a connection with your kids.

How can time blocking be a thing that really helps us amplify our productivity without leaving us at the bottom of the pile?
Today I am flipping the mic on myself and sharing with you an interview I did with the incredible Sarah Dalton. Sarah is the founder of Your Simply Big Life, which is an online community that empowers women to step out of the overwhelm and take ownership for their day.
Her mission is to help busy moms make the most of their time and energy so that they can go after their big goals and be present for their family. Sarah and I connected when I did this interview for her show and it was so much fun. I loved talking with her and we had a great conversation about this topic of how do we use time blocking to make us more present and intentional?

Now I'm a big backwards planner.
It's what's made me most successful in my business and it's what has allowed me to not feel like I'm gonna rip my hair out every single day as I manage my home and get to work on goals. I backwards planned writing my book. I've backwards planned getting my kids to school on time. I have backwards planned my lessons when it comes to my volunteer activities.
If we don't have a date, then everything else falls apart.

Today I am really excited because it is the big day that we are opening the purpose-driven mom club for the fall 2022 cohort. Now the purpose-driven mom club, is open all the time, but we have some great bonuses for our fall cohort that we want you to jump on board.
As busy moms, we've got a million things to do. Rarely are we taking the time to actually make a plan that will make us happy and help us get things done.
How often are you putting your own goals on the back burner? That big dream you wanna go after or work on getting a great evening routine or taking a walk seems so far-fetched.
Maybe you're striving to live with more purpose. You want a happier, joyful home, and you just wanna stop yelling at your kids a little bit because you're burnt out and resentful because you never get time for yourself and your dreams.
Personal demands pull you from every direction. And you keep saying, "I'll try again on Monday." Maybe you also have people in your life who don't always support, your goals.
If you're somebody who has big dreams for your business and your home, and you don't know how to do it, the club is for you. For those of you who are ready to take action.

Let’s talk about a routine blocking method. Diving deep into all things, delegation, routines, simplification, and planning.
Ashley Brown is a repeat guest coming on today to help women get organized in a routine so that they can actually enjoy their life. Her planner is coming out in October and we are super excited about it.
It's all about doing less, but actually getting more done with what matters, which aligns so much here with what we talk about here at Purpose Driven Mom. Having routines opens up space and allows you to lessen your planning. Because how you plan is — you plan outside of your routines. So then that makes your to-do list a lot shorter.

Today Cara is sharing with you a behind-the-scenes in one of her programs called the 'Purpose Driven Mom Club Plus Coaching Program' as an extension of what we do in the Purpose-Driven Mom Club.
It's a higher level, high-touch mindset-based program where club members, who've kind of gone through the club program understand the basic frameworks and they've been doing it for a while --- but they know that something's still getting in their way today. Cara shares with you a session she did with them on fear.
If you're someone who struggles with fear and listen in because we've all been there ... this is perfectly normal. Yet we don't need to stay here.
Cara allowed fear to stop her from going after her business, and she allowed fear to stop her from changing from her network marketing career to where she is today with APDM. She shares that she was so afraid of what would happen when making that career switch.
Fear shows up in everything we do, the way we interact with friends, the way we connect with our partners, and the way we show up in our businesses and for our children. If you're someone who struggles with fear, we think you're gonna like this episode.

Why are we getting in our own way? Why do we stand in front of ourselves when really we should be, cheerleading ourselves on? How much time do you have for your self-care?
If you're someone who struggles with getting in the way of your own goals, you're going to love this episode and walk away with some gems.
We need to be able to identify why there's resistance, and where the resistance is in our lives that is keeping us from accomplishing the goal that we set out to do. A huge piece of this is that we have no time because we are needed. But here’s the thing that is key that Veronica talks about in today’s episode, and that is that we need to be needed. So we fill our time with everyone else's needs.
Let’s dig a little deeper and lay out some practical step-by-step answers to these questions and cut the self-sabotage right here and now.

I’m coming out of my post-summit high. It was an amazing event and we’ve opened doors to the purpose-driven mom club for our spring cohort.
And I’m tired.
But here is the thing. I knew this was going to happen.
So I planned for it.
Here’s the thing. Hustling all the time will lead us to burnout, be overwhelmed, and quit. I know this because I’ve been there.
But if you want to grow your business, you’ve got to work hard.
So why not instead, create a plan to take care of what you need after the push?
After a big launch, I aim to take off 4 specific days from work in the weeks after. These days off help me get back on track, pause and celebrate and allow me to recharge before moving to the next goal- because if not I can easily become a GOAL CHASER
The 4 days to schedule “off” from regular work after a launch
1 day to rest. — take a day to recharge, nap, catch up on a. Book or show, or whatever you need to physically and mentally reset.
1 day to catch up on home stuff — I find during a launch, my home takes a back seat and things can fall through the cracks. Taking a workday off to catch up on laundry, errands, and making your space better is key!
1 day to catch up on work— During a big launch, lots of the day-to-day work tasks like emails or tiny tasks that run the day get pushed aside. I like to take one day to literally busy through my list of tiny tasks and get back on track
1 day to plan- Take a day to celebrate, do a launch debrief, and plan for the next few months. Take a walk, dream about your business, and content plan in a way that allows you to start getting ahead again
Your business will be fine if you take time off to catch up, take care of you, AND get your brain in the right place. If you’re just going from one launch to the next, you’re going to burn out (you and your community) and start to feel resentful towards your business.
Head to your calendar today and put these 4 on the calendar BEFORE you jump into launch!

How about a super helpful technique that you can use to get those tiny tasks done? Around here, we call it the microwave minute!
Today Cara is on Jennifer Booth’s podcast show! Jennifer is from the Planning Women and you are going to love this episode where Cara dives deep into the microwave minute technique.
This is all about establishing a routine that is always there for you, so that when you get thrown off track — that’s totally fine ➡️ because your routine for “getting-things-done” is already established. You just need to jump back in and keep going.
Take the concept of the 'Microwave Minute' - and ask yourself, What can I do for 30 seconds? It’s just 30 seconds! The point of this question is that you are tricking your brain and getting it on board to accomplish a task that you don’t want to do. Like emptying the dishwasher.
So, what can you do in 30 seconds?
Use the microwave minute technique to maximize your time everywhere so that you have more time to work on your goals. Do what you can, where you can, and ditch the perfectionism attitude that keeps so many of us stuck.
Listen in to this deep dive on the microwave minute concept.

What do we do when we have no plan? Where do we start?
What do we do when our goal is massive?
What do we do when we don't know what to do next?
Join Cara in her interview with Jesse Larson from Positivity You Podcast. Where these ladies talk about what to do when we get off track with our goals and how we stay focused on our dreams.
Shame-based productivity is when we can’t check all the boxes at the end of the day. How many times do we as busy moms end our day with more tasks on our list than when we started? Things just pop up when we have kids, and life just happens?
So how do we plan for that? Do we just accept what is, and leave our dreams on the back burner until we have an empty nest?
Cara would tell you “No!” She says that “When we marry intentionality and grace we end the day NOT throwing our hands in the air but doing our best.” In both caring for home as well as moving forward with our dreams.
Ditch the feeling of “Go!Go!Go!’ and leave the mad dash of the day to “survive” behind us … We can have a flowy routine that feels easy with room for buffer space.
We can have days without the guilt.
Ditch the “Why is not big enough.” and “Earn your shower!” Come up with one word to motivate you for the season of life that you are in — with “in progress” affirmations around the word. We are going for support vs. shame. Listen in to hear more!

Getting the goal accomplished can be SO hard!
Yes, we can make the goal!
Yes, we can map out a plan!
But what about completing the goal and checking it off?!
That’s the hard part.
Sometimes we forget about the goal and the small steps needed every day in our 15 minutes chunks. Sometimes life just happens and there is zero room. Sometimes we tried but getting to the end of our quarter means we are still not done with our goals. Argh!
Another goal NOT done!
So …
How do we conquer our goals?
How do we become flexible with life happening?
How do we STOP quitting on our goals?
How do we STOP pushing our goals off until “later”?!
Today, we are talking about readjusting your goals, because readjusting is the secret sauce to slowly, and imperfectly accomplishing our goals. Readjustment is what is going to get us there! Let’s take this even one step farther and put a due date on our goals. Which means we are always moving forward!
Let’s close out our quarter in a smart way that has our goals adjusted and we are going strong. This means goals are accomplished and on “time”!

Are you standing in your own way of success with goals? Maybe you make goals but never actually achieve them? If yes, we want you to know — it’s not your fault!
And here’s why …
We have had years, and years of conditioning placed on us, with other people's (and our own) expectations, about what we should and shouldn't do!
What happens if you actually achieve an amazing goal?
Would a relationship change, or your partner not approve?
Would you have to set some boundaries for the first time?
Would you cross a goal off your list because you never really wanted it in the first palace?
Today you are getting a sneak peek into the Purpose Driven Mom Club Plus Program - this is a group coaching program that started in January 2022 and it’s for moms that are already in the Purpose Driven Mom Club. These ladies have already gone through the S.O.A.R. framework that Cara teaches and they are struggling with self-sabotage and limiting beliefs.
How do you determine your true desires when there is so much noise in your minds?!
In this episode, Cara is going to dive deep into that question and talk about limiting beliefs, thought patterns, and how to get to the bottom of what YOU truly want with your life. #notothers
We are going to ditch putting a million things on our plate because we think we are "supposed" to work on them all.

Let’s talk about the four types of goals that we recommend you add to your plan.
We get a lot of moms who come to us and have way too many goals and they don't know how to narrow it down. So today we are going to dive into the tips on how to do that! Starting with the different types of goals that you are working on. It will help you achieve your goals once you know what goal you are working with!
➡️ Goal number one is a numerical bull, which is a long-term goal but so easy to set up and slowly work your way through.
➡️ Goal two is what we like to call a project-based goal. These are short-term goals that you focus on to get the work done i.e. writing a book.
➡️ Goal three is a middle-of-the-road goal that is a routine or a habit-based goal … this one is vital to support your other goals.
➡️ The fourth type of goal we are going to encourage you to have is a learning goal. These are the fun goals. Create your learning goal for the month so you continue to grow as a mom!

Learn how to adjust your goals and use a goals audit to make a plan that works for you. Goal auditing is something that a lot of people don’t want to do because it takes some time. But when you become a detective about your goals, you will find that you’re going to be much more successful at achieving your goals. Because you are not just saying that goals don’t work for you, you are diving into the next level of why this goal is not working for you right now.

How can you fit in learning and growth time as a busy mom?
➡️ You have goals you want to work on.
➡️ You want to read.
➡️ You want to learn.
➡️ You have online courses you want to get through.
All while wrangling your kids, picking up the clothes, and being on time for carpool.
We know you've got really great goals for yourself. You have all these things you want to accomplish, but it can feel really overwhelming, of where to start — or even where to learn! Right?!
It can feel like, what am I supposed to do?
Where am I supposed to fit it all in?
We want to talk to you about a couple of strategies, three in particular that Cara used this past year that allowed her to:
Take 6 courses
Read 52 books in a year
Listen to multi-podcast
Cara’s step one to learning and growth is all about the books! She uses a parallel reading strategy that allows her to read all the books she wants to read for the month at the same time. Confusing?!

“Just pick your priorities.”
“You’re just not prioritizing well.” “If it was really important to you, you’d prioritize time for it.” “We all have the same twenty-four hours.” Maybe you’ve heard some iteration of those phrases in your life. I mean clearly, your problem with productivity is a priority one, right? Maybe not. For a long time, I believed all of these statements. I thought that if I wasn’t being productive or achieving my goals, it was my fault because I didn’t prioritize well. And over the past few years, I’ve realized the problem with the way that we’ve been taught to look at our priorities.

How can you manage your time as a busy mom? How can you work on your dreams when the mountain of laundry is calling your name and the kids are home from school because of covid again!?
Today we are talking about how to manage your time using the power pockets method. As well as, the microwave minute.
I know that time management feels challenging as a busy mom and that’s because most of the time our days are unpredictable, like our kids. Cara was one of those people that used to schedule in her day hour-by-hour — until she had kids that is!
How can you use those tiny minute chunks throughout the day and maximize them?
Because sometimes that’s all that we get as a busy mom — those tiny chunks.
Power pockets are a different way to look at your schedule. It does require one hard thing though, and that is ditching the mindset of perfection in our schedule. Ditching the: “I can’t work on this goal until my kids are older” thoughts.
Let’s map out your power pockets strategically today!

As we kick off the start of the year, I want to kick off a framework for goal setting 101!
With the new book coming out on Jan 23rd, The 15 Minutes Formula, we felt like now would be a great time to go over the basics of goal setting and the 5 “must-have” steps in order to set yourself up for success.
There are 5 pillars of goal setting, and when you complete all 5, you will have a great grasp on what is needed in order to crush your goals.
So think of one of your particular goals as you listen through this episode, and put your goal through each of these steps, one at a time.
So many people when they set their goals to go through the first couple steps naturally, then stop there. They are missing the complete picture and the last few steps making it a huge goal struggle.
The Purpose Driven Mom Club offers the framework, the walkthrough, the accountability, and the coaching that is around these 5 pillars of goal setting … we love to ask these questions:
What did you work on this week?
What are your successes?
What are any places you are struggling in?
How did your progress go for your goals from last week?
When you plan your next goal with these 5 pillars in mind, you are setting yourself up for success and that is how you complete your goals.

I remember the exact moment I became resentful of my family. I was home with my newborn baby and my husband had gone back to work. It was me and her—alone for the first time since she was born.
I had left my teaching job to attempt to work full time in network marketing a few years prior. I had dreams of starting my own business and coaching company. I wanted more time freedom and the ability to make my own hours around my family and what actually mattered to us. And here I was, lying on the floor of our playroom with my two-month-old, sobbing my eyes out. Surviving on a few hours of sleep, I watched my husband leave to go to work and thought, What about me? I realized it was time to change the way I was living so I could ditch the burnout. I needed to make changes that allowed me to stop going a million miles an hour and carve out time for myself. I knew that hustling the way I was would lead to resentful feelings toward my family when they weren’t moving at my pace. And I was moving farther away from the mother I wanted to be. That’s when I developed this system of the 15 Minute Formula that I am going to share with you in this book ...

How can we be more patient when parenting? Or intentional? How can we make parenting needs less about us adults, and more about the connection that we share with our children? What do we truly want — as a relationship — with our kids.
In this episode, we are sharing a ton of great ideas about how we can be proactive instead of reactive with our parenting. As well as what to do when we do lose our cool and forget about the proactive ideas you came up within the first place.
We are talking today to gentle parenting expert Robbin. Take the “you” out of parenting, so you can enjoy it more and just be more patient, more kind, more loving, and caring not only to your kids but to yourself as well.

As busy moms, we have a million things to do and rarely take the time to make a plan that will make us happy AND get things done. Maybe you are striving to live with more purpose, with a happier and more joyful home. Or, you might be trying to get on top of your finances, health, or organization. But somedays it's hard to know where to start or how to stay motivated. Perhaps you have people in your life who don't always support your goals, not because they think they are silly but because they've forgotten to dream themselves (and their negativity tends to rub off on you). Most likely you spend your days trying to manage your time to get the most out of your day but as a mom pulled in so many directions, it's hard to make progress without help. The Purpose Driven Mom Club is a Monthly Membership designed to help you set and reach your goals, while building relationships with other like-minded women. We're all in this together! As a member, you'll gain access to NEW resources and support materials every month so you can finally: ➡️ Learn how to tackle ALL of your to-do's (YES!

I'm a big reader. I have a parallel reading strategy where I read typically 4 books a month. I know this seems like a lot but it allows me to hit my goals in small chunks instead of feeling super overwhelmed.
I wanted to share today some of my fav books that have helped with my own personal growth this year (and some bonus ones I've read in the past)
➡️ Standing Strong by Alli Worthington
➡️ Free of Me by Sharon Hoddee Miller
➡️ The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks (re-read this year)
➡️ The Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor
➡️ To Hell with the Hustle by Jefferson Bethke
➡️ Untamed by Glennon Doyle (re-read this year)
➡️ Atomic Habits by James Clear (re-read this year)
➡️ Love Centered Parenting by Crystal Paine
➡️ The 12 Week Year by Brian P Moran (re-read this year)
These books were on the top of my list of non-fiction personal growth books for the year! And you'll notice that 4 of them were books I've already read and chose to read again in 2021! I love to re-read books that I love because I feel like I pick out different things each time!
I get most of my books from the library and honestly only buy books after I've read them once and I know I'll re-read them so these ones are going on my bookshelf soon (if I don't already own them!)

Today Cara is answering a handful of community questions from clutter, to starting a mom business, to home maintenance made easy and everything in-between.
For Clutter: What happens when there is visible clutter in your life?! Let's chat with a proactive and reactive approach and systems we can put in place. No.1 tip is that, if you are already stuck with tons of visible clutter, clear your vertical space first.
For Starting a Business: Looking to start a mom business, but it feels so hard?! --- Break it down into 15-minute chunks --- like what Cara talks about all the time.
For Breaking Down A Goal: How do we figure out how long something is going to take?! We are going to need to guess the time it’s going to take because we won't really know perfectly how long --- Just guesstimate and no need to be perfect!
For Home Maintenance: Get routines around home maintenance is the biggest key here. What is your vision and what does your home vision look like?
For #lifehappens: What if we want to crush a massive project but the full load of laundry and dishes and the kid's birthday parties are coming up?! Goals vs. maintenance task?! All the things that we do day-in and day-out … COUNT! If we start to approach our day-to-day tasks as a goal we are going to see it as serious and we are going to be super intentional about doing them as a goal until we are doing them on an automatic routine.

How many goals do you make for yourself?
One of the mistakes I notice with the moms I work within the Purpose Driven Mom Club is that they often take on WAY too many goals at once. We're taught to 'go big or go home' and society gives us applause when we are busy busy busy and always on the go.
And while I don't think you should shoot your dreams short, I also know that by putting too much on your plate, you are setting yourself up for failure.
Instead of loading your vision board with 100 things because you feel like you 'should', I suggest asking yourself a few questions first
What season am I in?
What theme do I want to focus on during this season or month?
Can any of these goals be done later?
Why do I want to achieve these goals?
By asking yourself these questions FIRST, you're going to create goals that make sense for you and your season, don't overwhelm you, and actually allow you to feel confident that you can achieve them!

Have you ever made a really big and exciting goal, sat your family down to let them know the plan, and Gasp they don't care as much as you do?
It happens a lot when we get excited about things. We want everyone to get on board with our plan and get angry with them when it's not their top priority too. Or we make some big sweeping statements about how everything is going to change and they roll their eyes because they know it's another thing you might not stick with.
It stinks to not have your family on board BUT it doesn't have to happen for you! It's possible to be excited about your goals and get your family on board with (almost) as much excitement!
Want to get them on board - here are some tips!
- Create your vision first
- Make a routine or habit stacked plan
- Get their feedback
- Make it fun!

The holiday season can feel overwhelming with the need to do everything that comes flying at us. Yikes! --- There go the goals out the window till the New Year’s?! The crazy pull of everything at this time of year can feel like:
-Your routines come off the tracks during the holidays
-You feel like hitting your breaking point and realize too late that it’s all getting to be too much
-You didn’t have time scheduled for rest, gift wrapping, and shopping time
-It’s just about do, do, go, go!
How about we set our holidays up for success? --- a key here is keeping the bare minimum routines that we already have and need to keep our family going. Listen in on today’s episode where Cara coaches us through listener-submitted questions.
She says that it's all about prioritizing what you and your family want for this holiday season. Even if it means saying “no” and disappointing people.
This is a great way we can feel like we’ve got this crazy holiday season under control --- instead of the other way around. Enjoy the time you have at home with the kids plus get some things done.
Have more joy during the holiday seasons and feel less stressed. I encourage you to set out a plan and a roadmap that is just for you and your family --- what you guys like and don’t like to do, during this holiday season. It's up to you.

I'm BORED!
Have you ever said that about your goals?
You start off super excited, make a great plan, and then bleh - you're over it.
It happens to all of us and it can be a real momentum buster.
Today on the podcast, I'm chatting about what you can do when you just aren't into your goals anymore. How do you know when it's time to mix it up? Should you break up with a goal? Just put on your big girl panties and keep going?
Pausing a goal doesn't make you a quitter. It makes you someone who knows how to use your seasons and identify your needs. BUT - you'll want to make sure you run that goal through a filter to make sure it's the right time to leave that goal or switch things up to get momentum back!
Have you ever gotten bored with a goal? What's a goal you're excited about right now?

Why do we struggle with routines?! Maybe you are thinking … “I keep trying routines and nothing seems to stick.”
In today’s episode Cara is sharing in her interview that failing routines are happening because of one of these two reasons:
No. 1 You are trying to do too much too fast.
No.2 You don't have an actual plan for your routines and you’re waiting for motivation
But according to the gurus out there, routines happen when >>> “You're why needs to be bigger than your excuses.” this is a beautiful meme that we’ve seen everywhere to inspire us, busy moms, to action?! We are calling baloney on this quote.
All this does is make us feel shame and guilt. Our “why’s” are our family, and telling us moms that when we don’t show up for our routines and our goals --- we don’t want it “bad enough” and your “why” doesn’t matter --- it means that we don’t care about our family enough!?!?
NO!!!!!!!
That’s so messed up!!
How about a different way to create your routine?! Without the shaming and guilt?!
With a routine that will stick!
Listen in on today’s episode to get Cara’s whole plan for routine set up as a busy mom.

Did you know that not every goal should be broken down the same?
Often when we look at our goals, we try to break things down identically and we can get stuck. I teach 3 different types of goals - numerical, project-based and routine-based. Today on the podcast, I'm breaking down numerical goals and how you can easily map and adjust them for your own season and action plan.
Numerical goals are simple to break down and emotionless. When looking at numerical goals, I want you to look at the math. Numerical goals are ones that can be easily broken down by numbers and NOT specifically tasks.
- Identify your goal
- Pick your timeline for completion
- Divide up what you want to accomplish/timeline for completion
- Create an action plan that allows you to accomplish it in 15 minutes or less
- Adjust your goals periodically to stay on track
If you want to hear more, just comment and we can get you the link for today's podcast. I also talk about these in my workshop on in my bio (@apurposedrivenmom) so head over for more details!
And I want to know, what's a numerical goal you're looking to accomplish by the end of the year?

Are you feeling aligned and happy about your home and stuff?
As we gear up and get ready for the upcoming holiday season we are really excited to chat about our home and how we can simplify our stuff before MORE stuff comes in.
Listen in to today’s episode to hear great tips about:
- how we can have conversations with our family about all the stuff in the home
- how we can start to edit our stuff so that when the holiday season gets here it’s not this overwhelming drowning feeling
- how we can get started decluttering today
Like one of the biggest mistakes that Shira sees is when people try to organize first without decluttering --- it’s a huge ineffective use of our mom's time.
She also chats about how you can build a decluttering habit into your life so you are not stuck in that cycle of overwhelm. Decluttering is not a one-and-done thing. It needs to keep happening but in a realistic and EASY way.

Do you struggle with creating routines in your home?
Been there - done that!
I know it can be overwhelming trying to figure out which routines you should start with, how to make them stick and how to get your family on board.
When working with moms, I typically suggest a few routines to get started with to make managing our home a bit easier. You can pick and choose the order you want to work on them but, I find if you have these routines, you're on your way to feeling more in control in your home!
-Evening Routine - starting here sets you up for a great day!
-Morning Routine - how many times does a 'behind' morning throw off your entire day?
-Self Care Routine - you've got to take care of you!
-Cleaning Routine - let's make your day smoother but have a quick system to keep things clean!
-Weekly Prep Routine - using Sunday to set up the week will make you so much less stressed!
Today on the podcast, I'm chatting about each of these and things I like to make sure I add into each one! Which routine do you feel is the most solid in your home? Which do you struggle with the most?

What dreams are tickling you and you think about all the time? What are the things that come up often in your thoughts as you drift off to sleep? Like a, “I’m going to do that “ONE DAY!””
What are those things that you really want? And how can you make them happen in your life?
Do you have time or a quiet moment to dream your dreams? Or plan your goals? How can you find your dreams and alignment with all the “must-do’s” of the day? From dirty dishes to bathtime, to laundry to cooking supper. There isn’t a moment to slow down.
Dreams of:
-Getting healthy
-Reading one book a month
-Connecting with a friend once a week
-Decluttering your whole house
-Never being late to an appt again
This isn’t about being discontent with your current life, but thinking about how you can amplify what's already going on ---- which you need to slow things down a bit, filter out the noise so you can sort through the things that are serving you, and pick out the things that are not.
You are really going to enjoy hearing from our guest today with slow living expert Stephniane O'Dea as she talks about --- what that actually means for us busy moms to slow down and be more present in the season of life that you are in.

Finances are stressful … When we are paying bills late. When we are not reducing our debt the way we want. When we hardly ever log into our banking online to see what is going on there.
Yikes! Finances!
How about something a little different. What if we used mindfulness to take control over our finances instead of relying on sheer willpower or “whenever-we-feel-like-it”.
Intentional, finance doesn’t have to be as hard as it may feel and in this episode our guest Chioma, dives into the how, what, when and why to use mindfulness for our finance
-so we can know our numbers
-so we can have a vision and purpose to where we are spending our money
-so we can save up, pay off debt

Lazy. Stupid. A Loser.
How many times have you used those words to describe yourself?
Why are we SO dang mean to ourselves. We speak to ourselves in a way that we would never speak to our friends or our kids.
And it's got to stop.
The names and words you use to describe yourself are hurtful. They make long lasting dent into your confidence and soon you believe them. These voices may have come from when you were a kid, society or something you've told yourself forever.
How about today - we cut it out.
Replace that negative word with a positive descriptor filled with truth.
I am powerful.
I am doing my best.
I am incredible.
I am a hard worker.
I may not be where I want to be but I know I can get there.
I deserve joy.

-why we need to lean into our quirks
-why the fear of failure is just a myth and how to think of it as an experiment instead
We as small business owners have a responsibility to market, it’s only a kindness to tell other people about the amazing work we do. There can be huge mindset roadblocks of fear that get in our way and we keep what we love a secret.

Because one of the things that I noticed is that moms will make a ton of goals and then feel like they have to conquer them right away.
Or they'll make all these goals and then they don't know where to start and they have too many goals.
Did you know that there is such a thing as having too many goals?
You need to be thematic and you need to be strategic about your goal plans because when you have these strategic goal plans, instead of flailing around and being super unfocused on your goals, You can really anchor in to what matters the most.

Did you make a vision for this year? Have you thought about it since you made the pretty vision board back at the start of 2021?
As we get ready to head into back-to-school season, it can feel like a new year.
New schedules, your kids might be going back in person (fingers crossed), new routines and activities.
This is a great time to pause and connect back to what you said you wanted things to look and feel like this year.
How to anchor back in:
-Did you create a vision? No worries if not but if you did go and find that paper and reflect.
-Ask yourself how it's going and what success you've had so far.
-Think about the last half of the year. How would you like things to improve? What areas do you want to keep working on?
-Has anything drastically changed for you?
Make a list of roles and categories of your life and write an "I AM" future statement that connects with your vision and goals. This could be "I am a half marathon runner" or "I have a great evening routine" or "I have finished 24 books this year".
Put these on notes around your home or the lock screen of the computer. And finally, schedule time in your planner to look back at this vision WEEKLY.
By keeping your vision top of mind, you're more likely to stick with it!

Create a time inventory to see where you're all over the place with certain tasks and how long they take you. See where you have more chunks in your week to complete them Make a dream list of batched activities. Batching could include - meals - activities - errands - cleaning - pick ups - and more!

There are a lot of things that pop up and can throw us off our goals - but there are also things that we know could potentially happen.
So, instead of being surprised when they do, I suggest you make a proactive plan to help with the speed bumps.
What are some ways you can be proactive with your productivity?
- Plan in buffer time or thought catcher blocks
- Determining your obstacles in advance - and how you can combat them
- Creating a vision to know how to pivot

Are you on the struggle bus with dinner prep, meal planning, and cooking? Are you having a hard time getting it together in the kitchen? … If your answer is " Heck Yes!” then this episode is for you.
Today we are talking about meal planning and how you can actually achieve meal balance in your life. I know that a lot of times we say that balance is impossible --- but our guest today Kris, will walk you through her system for meal and dinner prep that ANY mom can stick with it.
-What do you do if you have picky eaters?
-What does “balanced” in the kitchen actually look like when it comes to meal prep and meal routines?
-Can you enjoy the meal planning/cooking process?
-Can you ditch the food-negative thought patterns about what you SHOULD be eating?
Let’s get practical, let’s get simple, and let’s create a routine that works for you.
And this routine is what Kris calls “Balanced Eating.” Not in a negative way or rule-based way but … Kris defines balanced eating as eating in a way that feels good for you. Whoo-hoo!
Part 1: You need to know what balanced eating is and --- what it is not.
Part 2: You need to eat foods that are satisfying to you and taste good so that you can FINALLY throw away that “food rule book.”
This is just a “taste” ( hehe .... pun intended 😋) of meal planning without rules and meal planning for your lifestyle that we chat about in today's episode.
Let’s ditch that overwhelm of where to start with meal planning, and as Kris would say ... “Start with what you already have and with what is already working!”
Boom, mic drop! Listen in for more juicy truth bombs.

Have you ever heard - just focus on your priorities?
It's a well-meaning phrase but it really doesn't help us as busy moms. Because the thing is as moms, our top priorities will most likely be our kids.
So how are we supposed to balance everything when our top priority (aka those tiny humans) takes so much of our time?
Today, let's talk about micro-priorities and how, by shifting how we look at things, we can actually spend time on ourselves!

How do you move from an hourly schedule to a time-blocked plan? If you are not sure how to have a schedule that is:
-fun
-flexibility
-actionable
-customizable
… then, this episode is for you.
Time blocking is the perfect way that you, as a busy mom, can create a schedule that works for you. Because that old way of planning --- that dreaded hourly schedule doesn’t work when you have kids. A.k.a. Kids don’t operate on an hourly basis. (surprise!)
As you know, time blocking gives you the flexibility you need AND also the freedom. But … there is a key often overlooked about using time blocking as a tool and that is it also creates urgency for you as well! YAY! #getthethingdone
As in --- you just created a deadline for yourself but don’t that the word deadline scares you because you made it manageable for you, your home, your kids, and the lifestyle you want.
-How does this self-imposed urgency thing work?
-What does a customized time block actually look like?
-Do you have any examples of time blocking?
Yes, yes, and yes, to all of the above.
Today Cara dishes out all her time blocking secrets. Starting with --- “It’s not about creating a perfect schedule and thereby creating perfect! It’s about you prioritizing what would make the most impact in your life and focusing on it.”
And you never guess where Cara recommends starting with to whip your schedule into shape … shhh, it's your evening routine … 🤐 but I’m not spilling any more secrets.

How many goals should you work on?
I get this question a LOT "how many goals is TOO Many?" or "How many goals should I have?" Moms often come to me on either side of the spectrum - they have NO goals or TOO many goals.
So how do you know how many is 'too many'
Here are some things to consider:
What is your MAIN focus for the next quarter?
If I could only achieve 1 thing in each area of my life for the quarter, what would it be?
If I could only work on 3 of those things, where would I spend my time?
These questions will help you qualify what is most important to you and then allows you to make some cuts.
While there is no right or wrong when it comes to 'how many', I want to encourage you today that LESS is MORE.
By working on less goals, you can put your full attention into them and, if you achieve them earlier - start to work on BONUS goals. Instead of feeling behind, you can end the quarter proud of what you achieved and/or ahead of where you planned!

Mom life can feel super lonely. And when you're going after your goals, it's key to have a supportive space.
Because something happens when you start to go after your goals. The people around you might not like it. Now, they might not SAY it but things might start to shift.
They might to unintentionally (hopefully) start to sabotage you. They might start to get frustrated because you going after your goals is putting a mirror in front of them.
And truthfully, while I think it's important to enroll your family inside of the vision you have for yourself and your goals - I think it's better to have an outside system of support and accountability with your goals.
These are people who are more impartial and unbiased. People with similar goals who will cheer you on. People who will push you when needed and support you when you're struggling.
But how can you find them?
Here are some questions to ask yourself.
Who do you know in real life?
What community groups already exist?
What can I create that isn't already there?
If you notice that you've been struggling with your goals, do an audit of your support and accountability groups. It could be the missing lever to your success!

Your morning routine is the tool that will help you start your day with purposeful intention. Using that small win at the beginning of your day to boost your confidence. Helping to propel you to make other impactful choices for the rest of your day. As well as, a successful morning routine will put you in a good mood, set your mindset and put a smile on your face.

Feel like you can never get things done because you're constantly stopping to put out 'fires' (hopefully figurative ones)? One of the biggest struggles I hear with the moms I work with is that they have the best intentions for their goals and their days but things, that are important, pop up and they never get to what is on their list. Here are some tips to help if this sounds like you: 1. Decide if it's REALLY urgent. A lot of things feel urgent in the moment but can very much get moved to even just tomorrow. I talk a lot about thought catcher time that helps me make sure I have space for these things that are important but not urgent (let me know if you want the link to that episode on the podcast) 2. Build in buffer time PROACTIVELY. We know that something might come up each day so add in 30 minutes of white space to your schedule so you can move things around when needed. 3. At the end of the day, look at what didn't get done because you were handling emergency tasks and ask yourself "where can I fit this in" and "does this need to get done this week". This will allow you to have a plan for those things without forgetting about them completely! We know that things come up - but when you have a plan for them, you're more likely to not let them completely derail you! Need more help creating personal growth goals?

What do you do: - When you need a plan to simply get up and do it? - When you get really excited about something and freeze? - When you get so excited that you burn out? - When you feel so overwhelmed and have no idea where to start? - When you tell yourself when you start a new goal that you’ll “just” be motivated.

Why is clutter such a struggle?! Whether it’s emotional, physical, or calendar clutter, in this episode we dive into the “WHY” behind your clutter habits, using a tool called the Enneagram. We’ll uncover some of the reasons --- why you do what you do with your clutter, according to your personality type. The enneagram is a personality test that allows you to not only pick out your strengths but also shows you your areas of weaknesses as well --- and what you can do to improve them. (or work with them 🥰 ) The enneagram is not only a great tool for your own self-awareness but it also can speak into the way you organize (or don’t organize) your home as well. Today’s guest, Laurie, has done her enneagram research, worked in the professional organization industry for years, and made connections between your personality type (from the enneagram) and the clutter pitfall you may stumble across as you work to get rid of your clutter. She says that you don’t need another blanketed “How-To'' strategy. What you need is to dive into and unwrap the motivation you have behind the things that you do in your home and with your clutter, by using the enneagram as a tool so you know where you can make your next change. So listen to today’s episode and get ready to ditch the guilt and shame of “never getting your clutter under control”. There’s nothing wrong with you. You do things a certain way because you have a certain personality type.

If you have 15 minutes, I guarantee you can change your day. I love a good 15 Minute Pick Up! We do these a few times during our day to reset the house and space. Quick pick-ups also a great use of transition time to signal that it's time to switch time blocks. Here's how to add a 15 Minute Pick Up Into Your Home: >>> Pick 2-3 times a day that you want to do them. Plan these in advance! >>> Put on a 15-minute timer and some music >>> Do the pick-up! The goal of this isn't perfection. It's clearing visual space and putting things away. You can do zones of the house, focus on one room, or one item. For example, everyone can pick up the downstairs, the playroom or just go look for all the laundry in the house and bring it to the laundry room! While I suggest you plan the times in advance, I also use 15 Minute Pick Ups whenever things in the house feel out of control and I need to do a quick reset!

You are more than your to-do list. We get so caught up in equating our worth and our works. That if we finish our to-do list each day, we are more important, we are more worthy or we matter more.
While I love a good to-do list - can I let you in on a little secret? You are more than your to-do list! Instead of focusing on what you don't do, can we focus on what you did do, or how you took care of yourself, or just how incredible you are in general? Yes, look over your list. Yes, be intentional with your time. But don't obsess over it. Instead:
- End your day with a ta-da list
- List out things you are proud of that day
- Remind yourself of ways you were proactive in your life
There is nothing wrong with going after your goals or being driven. But be careful not to make productivity or busyness an idol. Be careful to not be so obsessed with the doing, that you forget about the journey. Celebrate you. You're so worth it.

When do you give up on a friendship going nowhere? When do you keep trying? Should you even try to get out there and find that real connection? Is it really worth it? Real connections are not about putting your best face on social media. Real friendships are where you are intentionally investing in others and yourself.

Have you tried time blocking before and struggled to make it stick? I was having the same trouble last year with my blocks when the pandemic hit.
They normally worked fine but SOMETHING was up. Yes, the entire family was home so we were adding in a lot more things and routines but this normally worked. When I went and did a time audit and figured out what was missing.
Transition times.
When we don't build transition times into our blocks we're setting ourselves up to feel frantic and get thrown off schedule. Let's talk about how to add these in and how they'll save you time!

Today we are talking about the S.O.A.R. method and how it can help you achieve your goals. Let’s deep dive into this step-by-step process today and create an action plan for your dreams. There are a few reasons why you may not be completing your goals as a busy mom. Perhaps you are a young mom with the littles and find that your time is non-existent. Maybe you are an empty nester and have no idea what your goals are anymore and don’t even know where to start dreaming. Maybe you are so busy with everything around you that you know you can make the goal plan but one tiny thing will upset the whole idea. Like you plan to get up an hour earlier to finally go for a run but one of the kids was up last night and then you slept in. Now, what do you do?! Sometimes with all these curve balls that get tossed in your day you think that there is no way, you can ever truly achieve your goals, and why even bother?! Well, today Cara is going to break down her method for setting goals that actually work for us, busy moms. And guess what!? It’s probably NOT what you’ve heard the goals setting - productivity gurus teach about --- this one is for the mom … because you have a special type of goal setting needs. Cara’s method for goal setting is called S.O.A.R. --- which stand for: S - Set a healthy mindset O - Organize your goals A - Action plan for success R - Routines to keep going The S.O.A.R. method helps you walk through creating a goal-setting plan that works for you. The entire S.O.A.R method is a course inside the A Purpose Driven Mom club which you can receive a special invitation in this free workshop here https://apurposedrivenmom.com/goals A PURPOSE DRIVEN MOM SHOW NOTES: apurposedrivenmom.com/podcast117/
Have you ever started working on a goal, have a ton of momentum and then BAM. You get stuck.
This happens ALL the time - so don't worry if it happens to you. So often we feel guilty or like we're failing if we get stuck or make slow progress. It's not that at all.
You just need to adjust your expectations and plan. When you're making slow progress on a goal here are a few questions you can ask yourself:
- Why do I feel like I'm making slow progress?
- Will this slower progress push me completely off track?
- Do I feel okay about my progress?
- Am I still having wins, just maybe on a smaller level?
- Are there ways to pivot this goal and action plan?
Let's chat about ways you can keep momentum and change your mindset around slower progress! FREE GOAL SETTING SERIES: https://apurposedrivenmom.com/goals A PURPOSE DRIVEN MOM SHOW NOTES: apurposedrivenmom.com/podcast116/
You don’t need another planner to fix the fact that you have no time for yourself and no time for what you really want to do. Today we are deep diving into time blocking. Time blocking allows you to group tasks together and get stuff done without the strict schedule.

Today Cara Harvey is talking about time blocking from her speaker presentation from our 2021 Purpose Driven Mom Sumit! Get all of Cara’s tips about how to time block with intention in this episode. Time blocking is her key to success, after switching from an hourly schedule --- because as a mom you can’t minute by minute your kids. Yikes! Listen in on Cara’s step-by-step “how-to” instructions for creating all of her time blocks and how to make it work for you, even if you have a variable schedule or even if you have a weekend schedule. Let’s even get you prepared for when life throws you a curveball! We are going to cover it all in this episode. Let’s dive in.

You may feel stuck in motherhood, with pressures coming at you internally and externally. Self-awareness can be the missing piece that you don't realize that you need as a mom, and we are not talking about bubble baths here. Heather joins us today to remind us that we moms have a choice. We have a choice about being intentional, about living with self-awareness, and about choosing to give ourselves choice so we can live fully an incredible life. If you as a mom feel like if you are not burning out or burning the candle at both ends and that means that you must be doing something wrong! Then this message is for you because we are going to flip that thought on its head. This glorification of busy, makes you feel like you don't have time. Addiction to busy is a cultural energy. So, why do you think that you are not allowed to change your life and slow down? What is really holding you back from creating the space that you need? Heather dives into the thoughts, feelings, and action plan in this passionate episode. So let’s dive in.

I can't stand the phrase "we all have the same 24 hours in a day". People say it in a motivational way but honestly - for busy moms - it just leads us into a comparison trap.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the intention behind it and realistically, we all do have 24 hours in a day -it's just not the same.
But what do we do with it? How can we structure it so that we're intentional about everything on our plate without all the guilt?

I say “self-care” and maybe you think of bubble baths and manicures but there is so much more to it. If you really want to take care of yourselves, you need some things that are going to rejuvenate your spirit. So switch self-care to think of it as buckets you are trying to fill, like: quiet-time, me-time, planning-time, and growth-time. In today’s episode, we are talking with Kellie and breaking down her self-care goal in a LIVE coaching session with Cara and other moms from the Purpose Driven Mom’s Club. Kellie hasn’t had a self-care plan in years and doesn't really know where to start. What makes today’s conversation really interesting is that Cara will need to pull out all the stops to bring Kellie’s 4-week startup plan together. Listen in on how Cara mixes and pulls in pieces of the different types of goals you typically create from which are: project-based goals, numerical-based goals, habit, and routine-based goals. Creating Kellie’s 4-week plan used all three types of these goals which made it complicated but you can really sit down and understand the step-by-step process Cara took to flesh it out making it feel simple, and tangible without the overwhelm and burnout. So if you are looking to build in more mom self-care time or starting a self-care plan from scratch listen in on today’s episode, be inspired, and take action some notes.

There are so many moms that can benefit from the wisdom of love-centered parenting no matter what stage of parenting you are in. Today's guest, Crystal Paine, talks about how to shift your parenting from a results-based approach to a love based approach ( and nope, not the woo-woo kind) The approach where you parent from a place of peace, rest, joy, and from the place where you really love your kids. The shift starts when you focus on filling your heart with the truth of God’s love for you. Because when you are focused on being filled with that kind of love, that is the kind of love that spills out. The kind of love we are talking about today is a love that doesn't look to other people for approval or makes sure that you checked off your “to-do” list and parent perfectly. No! It’s the kind of love that says that you matter, your mistakes don’t matter and you're loved by God no matter what. You’re worth is not from other people or how well you perform. You walk around with so much mom guilt, stress, and anxiety because you are trying to find your worth and identity in something that will never satisfy you. It’s as if you're looking to say “I have arrived”. You need to go back to what God thinks of you… and that is >>> you are fully loved by God and when you truly believe that, you are able to have so much freedom and joy.
