We are two mom-entrepreneur-educator friends on a mission to empower moms and caregivers to avoid burnout by prioritizing themselves and their goals through actionable, accessible, science-backed content. We know how challenging it can be to focus on oneself when women are often expected to be the "shock absorbers" for any family crisis, and we want to help you live in a proactive-by-design way rather than a reactive-by-default one by harnessing the power of planning.

    Episode #52 04/18/2024 Saving Time and Energy by Planning

    Episode #52 04/18/2024 Saving Time and Energy by Planning

    We frequently say "Planning Makes Everything Easier" and it's so true. The only way Natascha and I manage our lives as individuals, as moms/partners/daughters/friends, as creatives, as entrepreneurs is because we practice the habit of planning. There's a saying that "one minute of planning saves you ten minutes of doing". Can you imagine how much time and energy you'll save? Take 15 minutes to plan tomorrow and save yourself two-and-a-half hours!

    Episode #51 04/11/2024 The Transformative Power of Making a Decision

    This week we chat about Alegre's TOTAL ECLIPSE trip that was seven years in the making, and how she never planned to be an eclipse chaser until that one fateful day she made a decision. In this episode, we talk about the transformative power of making a decision and how not making one keeps life in a holding pattern.

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

    Goals, whether they are small like drinking more water or big like going back to school, require a little bit of planning! We talk about how to fit in goal setting when you are a busy mom with lots of other things to do and people who have a claim on your time. We know you've got a lot going on, but reclaiming some time and energy for yourself is not only possible, it's necessary!
