Redefining Balance for Working Mom Podcast by Your Life Rocks

As working moms, it can be hard to balance it all. Hard but not impossible. We believe that balance is possible, you might have to redefine what it means to you. However you define it, you can get there when you put God first, live in community, and follow systems that create balance. This show will teach you those systems and feature guests to help you grow in your faith, parenting, marriage, home, health, finances, career, and friends/fun.

Join us in a 7-Day program called the New Year Reset inside Life Balance Membership.  Start your free 7-day trial by diving into this program.  Click here to get started.

So, with last week ending a series and next week starting a series, we are in a week of transition.  And really that is what this week has been all about….meaning the week between Christmas and New Year.  It is my favorite week of the year because it is quiet, there isn’t that much going on and I can just breath, think, and be.

Every year I use this week to reflect on areas of my life, give gratitude, dream a little and just talk to God about bigger things than I normally get to on a daily basis.  I go through a process that allows me better insight to setting goals and getting ready to accomplish them.  

It is this exact system that I have been teaching to our Life Balance members this week.  If you are not a life Balance member, you can still join us! The great thing is that we are walking through a pre-recorded course that you can start really at any time.  It’s a 7-day new program that has been added to the membership and it will help you get clear on your goals in a whole new way.  

In this episode, I wanted to share with you three of the principles that we teach in this program.  It’s a different way of setting goals than most people do, but so highly effective.

This is our last episode in our Walking with Jesus series!  Leading up to Christmas we have been hearing the testimonies of other working moms and their stories have been so inspiring!

This week we hear from Ami Clemente as she shares how her faith became real through her journey into motherhood.  Through prayer and faith, God performed miracles against all odds.  This is a story about God’s power, and that even in darkness, if it’s not good it’s not done.  The light wins and the victory is ours!

Join us in Life Balance Membership as we get ready for the new year in a whole new way!  We start live on December 26th, but you can join anytime and go through the recorded 7-day training.  We will be taking an assessment of each area of life, seeking God, and setting a clear vision for the first 90-days of the new year!  This new training will help you clear the fog and set you up for the best year yet!  Start your free 7-day trial by clicking here.

Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus.  Each week leading up to Christmas we will hear a testimony of what Jesus is doing in the life of a fellowing working mom.  It's my hope that through hearing these powerful stories, we will keep our focus on what we are really celebrating at Christmas.

This week we hear from Emily Will as she shares her testimony of how God answered her prayers in his own timing and in his own way.  Have you ever thought that God wasn't going to answer your prayer?  Emily saw God's faithfulness after 5 years!  By trusting God and waiting on his timing, the answered prayer was so much better because of the lessons learned and the blessings that came along with it.

To kick off the new year, we have special trainings happening inside the Life Balance Membership community!  You can now join for the full year with the new Life Balance Planner to help you implement the Life Balance system to your life!  Click here to learn more.

At the end of the show, I mention the annual plan for Life Balance Membership that includes the annual bundle of the Life Balance Planner.  You can grab yours here, but hurry!  There is a limited supply!

Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus!  Each week until Christmas we will hear from another working mom about what Jesus has done during the journey of her life.  This week I am joined by Esther Littlefield as she shares her journey in questioning everything and deciding to choose to believe that God is good even when she doesn't understand his ways.  This is a journey about loss, love, and understanding that can only come from the Holy Spirit.

Last week we talked about how to come back when we face burnout.  This week, we are talking about the other thing that takes us away from being the best we can be...falling out of balance.  More importantly, we are talking about how you can get back on track after you have fallen off your balance.

Here's the thing, balance is not a place to arrive to.  It’s not an accomplishment. It is a verb.  It’s an action that we choose to take each day in our lives to be the best version of ourselves in all that God has called us to be.

Enjoy this encore presentation!  I asked in our working mom community and you all said you wanted more help with your life rock of "home".  While taking care of my family keeps me from giving you a fresh episode this week, I know you will love hearing this episode from two years ago.

As a working mom, controlling chaos is our middle name.  But, I think we all have those piles of paper lurking around our home, cluttering our minds, and occupying the guilty thoughts in our head.  What if you could control all that paper and have a system that brought back your sanity?  Our guest for this episode, Professional Organizer Lisa Woodruff from Organize 365 podcast is here to rescue us!  She shares her tips for handling all the paper that comes into your house, including the school artwork.
