I hope you are enjoying Thanksgiving week and looking forward to spending time with family and eating yummy food. Thanksgiving is such a special time to gather and remember things we are grateful for, and I just wanted to say that I am so very grateful for YOU! The Busy Vibrant Mom podcast is almost five years old! As I look back I am so thankful that you took time out of your busy day to listen. It's not easy as moms to find a moment in the day, so thank you! In the spirit of giving I wanted to give you something too - that’s why I created The Rest & Reclaim Bundle as a special gift for this week. I’ve never offered anything like this, but I am really excited because I know it’s just perfect for you. If you missed it, yesterday’s bonus episode talked all about the bundle, so go back and listen to that episode if you missed it. Just a heads up the Rest & Reclaim Bundle is available until midnight on Cyber Monday to give you a full week to think about if it’s a good fit for you. Today I just wanted to tell you thanks, to offer some encouragement, and to let you know that you’re not alone on this mom journey.

This is just a short bonus episode to introduce you to the Rest & Reclaim Bundle. All month we’ve been talking about why your week feels like a race that you can’t win - the constant catching up, the lack of margin, broken routines that keep falling apart. It’s not you! We as moms try so hard to keep everything together, and work smoothly for us and our family. We balance responsibilities, home management, work, kids, schedules, and all the things, but it’s hard and sometimes we need some help (not more templates or ChatGPT suggestions). We need another human, another set of eyes and new solutions to fix what’s not working. That’s exactly why I created the Rest & Reclaim Bundle. Now full disclosure…I’ve never offered this, but it’s crafted just for you with the goal to help you finally stop spinning your wheels and feel calm, connected, and in control (especially now as we enter the holiday season).

We are now officially in the busy holiday season, after Halloween, close to Thanksgiving, almost to Christmas and New Year’s. This season is a mixture of excitement for the holiday season, filled with so many more to do’s. It's such a fun season, but it can be overwhelming too. We try to plan and smooth out our week. If you’ve ever spent a Sunday night mapping out your week, thinking through all the logistics— color-coded schedule, meal plan, maybe even diving into your planner — only to have it all unravel by Wednesday, then today’s episode is for you. The good news is that you’re not doing anything wrong. You don’t need to be more disciplined or organized. You just need a system that actually works for your real life and is personalized for you, not someone else’s perfect routine from Pinterest. Today we will be taking about why our routines keep falling apart, what to do instead so your systems actually stick, even when life goes sideways.”

Reminder:

We have some fun things coming up NEXT week! I’m putting the finishing touches on a special gift for you that I know you will love, so stay tuned. Make sure you’re on our email list, so you don’t miss out. You can go to the website www.byrdmichelle.com or connect with me at contact@byrdmichelle.com. If you have any questions or just want to say hi you can reach me there.

I pray this blesses you!

We’re heading into that season where the calendar fills up fast — class parties, work deadlines, travel plans, time with family, fun events — and somewhere in there, you’re supposed to feel merry and bright and create perfect family memories. But if you’re anything like me, you might already be feeling that low hum of stress starting to build. The pressure to do everything and curate perfect family memories over the holiday, on top of doing all the things you are already doing. The holiday season can be magical, but also overwhelming. So how can we make this holiday season feel lighter and less stressful? The answer is margin. That breathing room in your day that lets you pivot when life happens — or just sit and drink your coffee while it’s still hot. And friend, margin isn’t a luxury… It's a lifeline. We touched on margin in the last episode, but today we will talk about why margin might be missing, and how to practically fit margin into your already busy week before the holidays hit.

If you’ve ever found yourself racing through your week, running late to the school car line, frantically yelling at kids to get in the car, heating up your morning coffee for the third time, and wondering why it always feels like you’re playing catch-up? Then today’s episode is for you. Most of us feel like we’re barely holding it together (some days more than others, right?). You’re juggling work, home, kids, meals, and about a thousand invisible tasks - and even when you try harder, it feels like you never quite catch up. The truth is that you’re not lazy, and you’re definitely not broken. You’re just running a life without a rhythm that actually works for you. In today’s episode we’re digging into the three real reasons you keep feeling behind, and what needs to shift so you can finally breathe and get ahead - not in a hustle type of way, but in a peaceful, confident, I’ve got this kind of way. Grab your favorite beverage and let’s dive in!

As moms we take on a lot over the holiday season, whether that be Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s etc. So what can we do now that will make the holiday season lighter and more enjoyable. As a natural planner I have found that this is in direct parallel to how I enjoy the holiday season. The more tasks and to-do items that I can get off my list before Thanksgiving and Christmas the less anxious and stressed I feel and the more I am actually able to focus on the Christmas Eve service or enjoy time with family over Thanksgiving. Today we will be talking about ten things you can do right now to make the holiday season a bit lighter, less busy, and more peaceful. Now before you turn off the episode imagining it’s just another laundry list of to-do items, take a deep breath and know that this is just a suggested list and all or any of these tasks do not need to get done right here and now. I invite you to grab a warm beverage, take a deep breath, walk through this list, and think about one thing you could do now to make the season lighter.

More often than not we just have too much in our head. Too many tasks that we can’t even write them down…that’s when we need to stop. How do I know? This was me last week. Maybe it was because we were in a busy season of three kids doing sports, or that I was traveling every weekend and playing catch up during the week, or maybe it was all the things that I take care of and the invisible mental load piling up. We as moms hold so much, the invisible mental load, household management, work management, the social schedule, appointments, errands, meal prep, etc. So what do we do when we don’t even know what tasks are a priority? When everything seems important? Oftentimes I hear from clients that they don’t even know where to start, or what task they should prioritize, because every task seems important. Today we will walk through some practical steps to use when you don’t know where to start and your to-do list seems out of control. We will break down your to-do list and help you get clarity, so that you can prioritize and have more peace knowing you are working on the most important thing. Grab that coffee and let’s get started!
