On this episode of The Balance we dive into how we (want to) run an efficient household by having all hands on deck!

We’ve talked about how we leverage some paid household services but that doesn’t take away from the day to day tasks that need to be done to keep a household of 4, 5 or 6 running smoothly.

In order to maximize our down time at home to have quality family time we need to figure out how to share the housework load. Not only is it good for our family - it’s good for our children to learn responsibility and teach them accountability for taking care of their things.

We definitely don’t have this one figured out- so join us as we talk through our plans and let us know what works best for you and your family!

Welcome to another episode of The Balance! As we get closer to rounding out 2023 and planning for 2024, there are three things that we’ve started to shift this year that we’re absolutely committing to leaving behind as we enter the new year. Today we are sharing what those three things are and some ways to implement our practices into your life if you resonate with our experience.

Grab your coffee and listen in as we talk about people pleasing, self doubt and mom guilt. As a collective, we feel so much happier and energized, because we aren’t giving these things space in our lives. It’s making us better moms, and better business owners. More importantly, it supports us on our mission to continuing finding…The Balance. Here’s to 3 things to leave behind in 2023. Cheers!

In this episode of The Balance, we are breaking down a concept that’s not new, but often forgotten. Gamifying your work day! Jen, Emily and Bree have started using a new system to hold themselves accountable, help with timeblocking and make work…fun! The 100 point system was a system that they learned with their real estate team, and they’re excited to bring it to you, so that you can integrate it into your business or even your personal life, as a busy mom. After listening, if you have a takeaway and are ready to implement, reach out to us and we will send you a copy of the “100 point day.”
As always, we have fun and love catching up with you, so grab your coffee and follow along as we dive into a new system that’s working for them - and a way to give you the most out of your time. Thanks for joining us on another week of The Balance!

In this episode of The Balance, we dive into the topic of time and how it would look to gain extra time in our days. Turns out that when tasked with contemplating how much extra time you want (or think you need), the vast majority of us struggle to quantify the perfect amount. Is it that we need more time or that we’re not being intentional in creating actionable plans by prioritizing properly? We map out how that looks for each of our businesses and responsibilities within our families and discuss how we reset and recharge when we feel we’re not using our time purposefully throughout various seasons of life. Grab your coffee and follow along as we navigate whether it’s really more time we need or more intentional use of that time. When time is of the essence, how do you juggle all your balls in an effort to find...The Balance.

In this episode of The Balance we dive into Love languages, what they are and how they influence everything we do in life. We discuss where we ranked and what the quiz revealed about our personal love languages. Our results provide insight into what we value in our closest relationships and also how that psychology influences the ways we run our businesses and daily lives. You won’t want to miss this one. Take the quiz for yourself to see what discoveries you make about how you tick and what you value most.

Grab your coffee and enjoy listening to us work through what we value most and continue on our mission to find...The Balance.

In this episode of The Balance we welcome Emily back with a special guest appearance from our sweetest new addition, baby Banks. We dive into how the last few weeks have looked for her as she navigates juggling a newborn with the busy schedules of her other 3 kiddos, not to mention how she finds time to maintain business amidst this new pace of life. Bree shares how she’s stayed grounded and faced some of life’s uncontrollable curve balls head on over the last several days and Jen vulnerably shares that some days the weight of juggling all the balls seems too much for any person to handle. We discuss how we pivot when the weight grows heavy.

We also share an exciting, long awaited launch here in Orlando with the opening of Brightline. A high speed rail service that runs between Orlando and South Florida with multiple stops in between, it has huge potential for changing the landscape of commuter and leisure travel between some of Florida’s most popular cities. Tune in to find out whether we think this would be a viable option for us when traveling down South.

Grab your coffee and enjoy listening to us work through all things babies and business as we continue on our mission to find...The Balance.

In this episode of The Balance we share the exciting news of Baby Banks Barry’s arrival to our squad and whether he arrived according to Emily’s plans? We explore Orlando’s XL Soccer Academy, a state of the art alternative to traditional brick and mortar education housed right here in our backyard. With the mission of providing an accelerated educational program that empowers each student to reach their highest academic and athletic potential, The XL Academy has 2 campuses in Winter Park & Lake Nona. Jen specifically weighs in on how exciting having these options will be as we navigate the hours spent juggling traditional school & sports schedules and how much of a game changer having an alternative like this could be as we progress through the next few years. Next up we talk about how we’re implementing mental & action shifts as we ride the waves through business & family life transitions. We discuss how we’re navigating through uncontrollable variables in our business by taking steps to control what we can and working through our own personal roadblocks by making very intentional action shifts.
Grab your coffee, tune in and enjoy listening to us work through all things business and babies as we continue on our mission to find...The Balance.

In this episode of The Balance we talk about the new visitor pass for Terminal C at the Orlando International Airport that allows non-ticketed guests to experience the dining and shopping options at the new state of the art terminal. We dive into what you need to reserve one of these passes and if we think we will be checking it out!

Later in the episode Jen and Bree ask Emily a few rapid fire questions about being 38 weeks pregnant with baby #4! Is she prepared? (probably not) How will she manage her work schedule when most would be on maternity leave? & of course a few other light hearted conversations about the fact that we had a hurricane and a holiday within 5 days, life in general and the constant juggle we are all experiencing!

Grab your coffee, tune in and share how you focus your energy in times of transition as we continue on our journey to find...The Balance.
