As you welcome in a new year, perhaps you\u2019re giving some consideration to changes you want to make.\xa0I want to invite you to be gentle with yourself as you enter this year.\xa0Sometimes we try to make so many changes to kick off a year that we are almost immediately too overwhelmed to follow through on any of them for the long haul.\xa0\xa0\nI always encourage moms to give themselves the entire month of January and even into February to settle into the new year, set goals, and start taking action steps.\xa0Your last 6 weeks have likely been a chaotic explosion of fun, festivities, fatigue, drama, confusion, and feeling not so grounded.\xa0Give yourself a minute to reground yourself for the new year.\xa0\xa0\nAs you walk gently through this process of grounding yourself and growing some intentional roots for 2024, think about what YOU really want and need most right now.\xa0Collectively, we all need more help, more support, more validation, more connection, more resources, more open and authentic communication, and more opportunities and time for personal growth beyond motherhood. But, what do YOU specifically need most?\nIn this episode, I will talk you through what moms need most right now so that you may have some verbiage to express your needs to others as well as see how you might be able to show up for the other mothers around you.\xa0If we can all be more transparent about what we need, we can more openly acknowledge and take responsibility for the fact that we belong to each other and we truly need each other.\xa0\xa0\nI got you and I know you got me.\xa0That truth can bring comfort to us all.\xa0I am so excited to do 2024 with you!\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
