Embracing Calm and Ease: Managing Busy-ness as a Wellness Coach and Mom

Hello Friend, Michele here. In this episode, I dive deep into a challenge that many of you face as health and wellness coaches: balancing the demands of family life while running your coaching business from home. I know how it feels to be caught in a cycle of constant busyness, and today, I'm here to share effective strategies to help you manage this with calm and ease.

We'll explore how to distinguish between true productivity and mere busy work. I'll guide you through setting up a realistic weekly routine that honors your professional and personal life, and we'll discuss the power of letting go of tasks that don’t align with your core goals.

I emphasize the importance of establishing 'big rocks' in your schedule—those non-negotiable elements that are crucial for your wellbeing and success. Through stories from my own journey and insights from my journal, I illustrate the transformative power of choosing calm over chaos.

To wrap up, I offer encouragement and practical tips to help you adopt a mindset of calmness and prioritize your time effectively. This episode is designed to support you, the dedicated health and wellness coach, in crafting a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Welcome to today’s episode where we dive into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: those days when you work non-stop but somehow feel you've accomplished nothing. It’s Michele here, and I understand how frustrating this can be. Even the most organized among us can find ourselves feeling stuck in a rut. So, today, I'm here to remind you that it's okay to have off days and the importance of extending grace to yourself during these times.

In our discussion, I'll share some personal strategies that have helped me turn unproductive days around.
