CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS
Journey: So, have you found your true calling or a path that is filled with complete joy…oh, and paying the bills or better? Maybe not, hey, that’s A-Okay! Most of us have lived by the motto: “Do what you must do…so you can do what you want to do!” Stay in the game of pursuing your goals and dreams-never surrender, never settle. Do the hard work, put in the long hours, shed the tears and yes, cans of beans now but Filet Mignon tomorrow. Grind it out to invest in yourself to capture your goals and dreams of doing what fills you with passion and pride!
It’s Real: Working from home is so freakin’ easy in photos! Being an independent, female business owner working mom with little ones or remote e-learners is t-o-u-g-h. Ah, but maybe you have found some great tips or ways to find common ground for making it more manageable. There are the daily challenges but there are also so, many rewarding benefits! Let’s break it down a little. Make a plan to find the gold; create a routine, build a support system and learn to are able to accept and appreciate that it is “real life” and sometimes it’s messy…but other times it is glorious!
Focus: Take the time daily to give yourself some time to calm the mind. Disconnect and unplug. Allow or insist that you have some quiet downtime to regenerate yourself. Darling, we get it! Go hide in the closet with some coffee or wine…we might be doing the same thing! Monica calls like it is!
INTENTIONAL INSPIRATION
Show Up! It’s not always easy, get comfortable being uncomfortable or possibly even a little awkward and make those personal connections to grow! We need each other!
