Giving yourself permission to release a few unconventional things might just make motherhood more manageable in 2024.\xa0 And, when one area of your life is more manageable, all areas of your life start to feel more manageable.\xa0\xa0\nSociety rewards moms for aiming high, hustling hard, and achieving at every turn. I\u2019m going to invite you to get a little unconventional in 2024. Allow yourself to be average.\xa0 An average mom.\xa0 An average employee. An average volunteer.\xa0 If you are a lifelong high achiever, I probably just lost you. You know you were not made for mediocrity. I get it.\xa0 I\u2019m not either. But, you also weren\u2019t made to meet the extremely high demands that the world puts on mothers and women day after day after day - for eternity.\xa0\nYou were made to bend without breaking. My hope is that this episode helps you check yourself so you can see the ways you might be able to bend in 2024 so you don\u2019t ultimately break.\xa0 I\u2019ve been bending a lot more over the last couple of years - sometimes by choice and sometimes by unchosen circumstances. Releasing constant high expectations, rigidity, and other people\u2019s needs & norms has been a game changer.\xa0\xa0\nIn this episode, I invite you to release 4 things you maybe haven\u2019t considered before.\xa0 You might raise an eyebrow at first, but I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019ll thank me later.\xa0\xa0\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
