    18 - The Truth About Morning Routines for Working Moms

    So many books and articles have been written about what successful people do to start their day. If we're not waking up early to workout, meditate, and get a jump start on our day, what are even doing? But as busy, working parents, with interrupted sleep and irregular wake-up times, it can be so hard to be consistent with morning routines, let alone to find time to drink a cup of coffee in peace. In this episode, I'm challenging the idea of a morning routine and offering up a new approach to mornings as a busy, working parent. An approach that takes into consideration the responsibilities and lack of sleep that parents, especially parents of young kids, are facing. You don't have to give up the idea entirely, but you I would encourage you to embrace some flexibility and reduce the pressure to do it all. You can still have a successful morning, it just might look a little different than the ones we read about.     Key Takeaways:     00:00 Welcome and Workshop Recap   01:13 Mornings with kids   02:59 Why morning routines don't work as a working mom   04:38 Rethinking the ideal morning routine   11:31 What to create instead   19:21 Taking this concept to the next level     Resources + Links: Get the replay and workbook for the Stress Less This Holiday workshop   The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod   5 AM Club by Robin Sharma   Follow me on Instagram @lovemothernurture   Fill out an application to learn more about coaching with Katelyn     Let's Connect on Social:     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themothernurture   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   Website: https://www.themothernurture.com/

    14 - The Hidden Cost of Indecision: How to Reclaim Your Time

    We all know what decision fatigue is and how we should create routines, habits, and even uniforms to reduce the number of decisions we have to make. But the other piece of decision fatigue that's not talked about as much is indecision - delaying or prolonging a decision because we tell ourselves we need more time or more information. Every unmade decision is like an open loop in your brain costing you time and energy just like a nail in your tire that is slowly leaking air while you drive. The faster you can make your decision, the less air you'll leak.     Learning how to recognize indecision and having strategies to help you make faster, more confident decisions will help save you so much time, energy, and mental space. But the key is knowing which decisions to make quickly, and which decisions to take your time with. In this episode, you'll learn it all, including my five favorite hacks for getting over the indecision hump.     Key Takeaways:     00:00 Stress Less This Holiday workshop announcement   01:27 Dealing with decision fatigue   04:16 What is indecision and what does it cost you?   05:38 Recognizing how indecisiveness shows up   13:24 Strategies for making faster, more confident decisions   18:33 The key step to strong decision-making   19:27 Choosing your decisions and your strategy   20:18 Getting support with the big decisions in your life     Resources + Links:     Get your ticket to Stress Less This Holiday workshop   Send me a DM on Instagram   Episode #10: Say Goodbye to Last-Minute Dinner Stress   Apply to work with me     Let's Connect on Social:     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themothernurture   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   Website: https://www.themothernurture.com/

    13 - Holiday Planning Starts Now: Avoid Burnout and Enjoy the Season

    If you want a more relaxed, enjoyable holiday season, it's time to start planning now. I'm excited to bring back my Stress Less This Holiday workshop on November 7, 2024. Regardless of what you celebrate, there are so many activities, events, and things to do those last two months of the year. If you set aside 90 minutes now to think through your calendar, your tasks, and your decisions, you'll save yourself hours of time, energy, and stress later on.     I want you to not only have a plan and a list, but to also know what your priorities are for this season. What's important to you? What memories do you want to make? How do you want to feel? You can have the best plan and the most beautiful calendar, but if you don't know why you're doing any of it, you'll end up feeling dissatisfied and exhausted. I want you to end the year feeling at peace and like you still have the energy to reflect on this beautiful life you're creating!     Get your ticket today at www.themothernurture.com/holidays.       Key Takeaways:     00:10 Reflecting on the final quarter of the year   02:18 Common seasonal stressors   03:50 Introducing the Stress Less This Holiday Workshop   04:55 Workshop details   07:54 The step so many of us skip when planning   09:37 The importance of deciding in advance   12:15 The benefits of planning in community   16:15 What I wish for your end-of-the-year     Resources + Links:     Get your ticket for Stress Less This Holiday workshop   Fair Play by Eve Rodsky   Sign up to receive Katelyn's Working Mom Wednesday emails       Let's Connect on Social:     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themothernurture   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   Website: https://www.themothernurture.com/
