From time to time it\u2019s essential to take a close look at some of our patterns and behaviors to see what we might want (read: need) to quit.\xa0Just as your kids are constantly growing and evolving, so are you.\xa0As your wants and needs shift, it\u2019s important to recognize where you can quit certain patterns or behaviors to save yourself precious time and energy.\xa0\xa0\nI have done a few \u201cpermission to quit\u201d episodes over the years.\xa0I love these episodes because they are gentle invitations to you to take a critical look at some of the things you might be doing without realizing they are no longer serving you.\xa0\nIn this episode, I invite you to stop overgiving, overdoing, overproving; to stop setting goals based on other people\u2019s agendas, opinions, or choices; and to stop quietly accepting old-school norms (that are quite likely misogynistic in nature.)\xa0Enjoy taking notes and then QUITTING ALL THE THINGS!\xa0\nLink mentioned:\nSign up for my Plan & Prep Pajama Party: shamelessmom.com/pajamaparty\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors this month:\nFull Time VA: Check out this free training on how to be a virtual assistant that makes full-time income with part-time hours: thefulltimeva.com/Shameless.\xa0 Owner Amanda Rush Holmes is also including a bonus free guide for SMA listeners -\xa0 The VA Kickstarter Workbook!\nRitual: Ritual\u2019s Essential for Women 18+ is a multivitamin you can actually trust.
