Funny I was listening to this conversation while working out!!! Great advice with starting small. That’s how I started working out this year, I started with simply walking outside in the morning and now I’m doing strength training.
Such good advice! And good for you girl. So proud of you ❤️
I’m afraid of the interview and criticism cause I’ve gotten it before like suddenly I’m judge for mentioning I had kids in the first place
that is a fear for so many moms who are coming back to the workforce and it's so sad that companies still penalize moms for making the best decision for their family. I recorded this video with some interview tips, hope it can help you on your journey; czcams.com/video/Gipye9LEa40/video.html
Definitely struggle with overcompensating
I know many moms can resonate with that.
Time management is key, and figuring out our Core values 👏🏾
Agreed! The core values for the family is a big one and a complete game-changer.
Setting boundaries with our kids…. That’s the hardest one I think 😭
That is pretty hard. I loved that Liz touched on that because it's so important. I saw your video the other day with you enforcing a boundary with your kids while you and your hubby were spending time together. You're doing a good job!
Can you. PLEASE stop dividing moms into "working" and not? I've never worked so much since I became a stay at home mom and I was a busy physician! I've seen it and I wanna go back for some break from SO MUCH WORK AT HOME!
Not trying to divide moms and it's unfortunate that you took it that way. Being a SAHM is a lot of work and I would never try to minimize that. I hope you were able to find some value in what I shared and did not get stuck on the working mom title ❤
I love lean into yourself and your own intuition.
Yes!! That instinct kicks in and moms have to learn to recognize it and trust it.
I appreciate hearing about standing firm in Faith!
Same here. Such a good reminder.
This was a good watch!! 👏🏽
Glad you liked it. I loved talking to Teesh ❤️
Such a great interview! You inspired me to get on the peloton and spin while watching. Such great advice and a true inspiration to start small and see changes
Awesome Liz. Vanessa has some great tips to integrate fitness in your life.
This was fabulous! I loved hearing both your stories.
Thanks for watching Liz ❤️
Great job Teesh! I enjoyed this conversation!
I absolutely loved chatting with Teesh 🙌🏾
Me toooo!
Best company if you ask me.
Shit I do that all the time. Put on some music or a video while you’re at it
Yassss
“Stop feeling guilty for taking care of yourself” 😭 That is it!
That one hit me hard too 🙌🏾
How does this serve me! I will be asking myself that when I eat moving forward. Thanks for sharing!!!
That was one of my favorite takeaways from my conversation with Vanessa. How is this serving me? So good!
I love the points Vanessa made about self/personal development, discipline and being intentional!
Me too! So many good takeaways from this conversation with Vanessa.
Vanessa has been a HUGE inspiration to me as a mom trying to shift to making my health a priority. Thanks for this lovely interview! I learned so many little bits to take with me.
Vanessa is such a gem and a truly amazing person. So happy that I got to sit down with her to have this important conversation.
I used to journal religiously as a teen, it helped me so much. I’d love to get back to doing it frequently.
That’s cool! I hope you can get back to it. It has been such a transformative experience for me.
This was great to watch, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!❤
Been a SAHM for 18 years now. Thinking of going back to work.
Oh wow! That’s amazing that you were able to be at home for 18 years! I hope the tips I shared helped you on your journey. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
Such a good video and so much value! Every word is so true! 🧡
So happy it resonated with you ❤️
Love that self care doesn’t have to be complicated.. sometimes the simplest things can help us refuel so that we have more to give to our family and the people around us ❤️
Agreed! It’s the simple things that keep our cups filled.
Loved this!! So useful! Thanks heaps!! We live in Australia but moving to Spain (we are from Venezuela) mainly because we lack of support network here and I want to focus on building one once we are in Spain (we have family and friends there plus language helps to connect better to people). I’ll definitely apply your advice!
You're welcome! So happy that this was helpful for you. Having support for your family can make a world of difference. Good luck on your move ❤
Yep i was a super women but now im a super me first ❤
I love that. Super ME first ❤️
A nice bubble bath after a long day at work with all my smells good things for the body
That’s a great self care tip
Great video! The invisible load is definitely a beast. Writing a list of everything you are doing is really an eye opener. When I first did this in 2019 I also had my husband write down what was on his plate. Both he and I were blown away by how much was on my plate in comparison to his plate. I think seeing both really helped him be a lot more receptive to more delegation.
Thank you so much for watching! I love your tip about having your husband write a list too, such a great exercise to highlight the difference in responsibility.
Such an important topic.. I really agree that communication is key!
Yes it is. I learned that the hard way…..
Having a support system is the number 1 tip! It works well when you can reciprocate and show gratitude!
Absolutely agree. It’s really about mutual support.
Thank you very much with the wonderful advice ❤
You are so welcome
5am club over here 👋🏾 😅
Nice!!!! The first few mins suck but it’s so worth it 🙌🏾
wise words! did you give your girls weekly allowance?
Glad it resonated with you. Yes my older daughter gets a monthly allowance.
straight to the point
I try to get right into the heart of my message ❤️
Awesome and great sharing! ❤You are really good! Very beautiful and very lovely, amazing and astounding! Peace and joy always. 😀👍👍
Thank you for your kind words!
This is wonderful! Kudos to you. Getting ready for the same transition. We have very similar stories ❤
Glad you liked it! So cool that we have similar stories 🤗
So glad I found your channel. I needed this
So glad it was helpful!
I love this episode. I will be sharing with my clients!!!!
So glad you liked it ❤️. Thanks for sharing 🥰
What is enough sleep? How many hours?
I try to get at least 7 anything less and I am not a nice person. But I think it depends on your body and what's sufficient for you.
I never thought about deep breathing, thats a good one. I think I can incorporate that one today.
Awesome! Yes, your breath is the most accessible tool when you are stressed. Let me know how it goes.
Oooo an early start would have to be like 4am for me, 😭.
that is very early!
You are gifted love! My hubby and I will be adopting in the near future.. very excited! I love what you say.. I'll def get a lot from your vids in the near future. This is a wonderful topic! So glad we connected love 😍🥰🥰
Thank you! I need to get organized so that I can be consistent with videos. Good luck with your adoption journey! Let’s stay in touch 💁🏽♀️
@@PutYourCapeAway Thank you hun❤️ and absolutely! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this, I definitely have fear of going back to work. My son is 3 and started preschool this fall. I just earned a certification in home health care to enter back into the healthcare field slowly, but on a different path. Mom guilt is so real right now.
You're welcome. Returning to work after a break can be tough and some days will be harder than others. I don't think the mom guilt ever goes away, but I challenge those negative thoughts when the pop up. That always helps me. Good luck!!!
I’m with you on sleep! I had my second in 2022 and everyone has said “well, you’ll never sleep again”. It’s not true! I work and I’m a single mom & I STILL sleep at least 8 hours. I took a 3 hour nap with my daughter today. ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! Sleep is so important. Good for you for making your well-being a priority ❤️
Same, that schedule is down packed! Now I have to work on things I used to do like my nails and hair etc.
I love this!
Thanks for this Xena! The guilt sets in when my kids want to play and I have things I need to do ! I block out time on my calendar to do something for me… it could be taking a bath, sitting alone browsing the web, stretching for 10 mins, painting my nails. Etc ❤
That’s so good! You know the things that make you feel like you and you’re making time for those things. Love it!
❤Go Jada, its not easy!
It’s not. So proud of her
Jada is very articulate and knowledgeable in her disease. I hope she has a teen group to spread her positive attitude! Good job!
Yes she does an excellent job managing. She’s involved in T1D groups in our area and has met some great friends.
Hi I'm from Sri Lanka... Thank you for your vedio.. it's very helpful for me. Coz I'm having one year old baby and WFH as a PM... ❤
Best of luck!
Hi Zena and Jada… thank you for sharing. I was very ignorant to Type 1 Diabetes… this helped a great deal.
Thanks for watching Trisha, I’m glad you found it helpful. We have learned so much since Jada’s diagnosis.
