Case Study: A working mom who stopped saying yes to everything

When Michelle first came to me, she was doing everything—and not in a “superwoman” kind of way. She was:
Sound familiar? Michelle wasn’t thriving. Here’s what changed:She didn’t quit her job. She started saying no without guilt. It helped her show up with more clarity, energy, and confidence. We worked on a few boundary shifts that you can steal today: Boundary Scripts You Can Use Right NowAt work: “I’d love to support this. Can you help me reprioritize what’s already on my plate to make space?” With your partner: “I’m carrying a lot of invisible load right now. I need us to rebalance a few things so I’m not running on fumes.” With school or extended family: “I’m focusing on protecting my evenings and energy this season, so I’ll have to pass—but I hope it’s amazing.” These aren’t confrontational. Boundaries don’t make you difficult. Michelle didn’t lose herself because of motherhood or career. Until she did. P.S. Want more scripts like these? Hit reply and let me know. I'm thinking about creating a free download called The Boundary Script Bank—a collection of ready-to-use scripts for work, home, family, and everything in between. If that’s something you'd love to have in your hands, reply with “I need this!” and I’ll make it a priority. |

Let’s just be honest, December isn’t festive for everyone.It’s full.Full of deliverables, concerts, classroom cupcakes, wrapping paper, forgotten RSVPs, and people needing just “one quick thing” before the break. You’re still expected to show up like a professional at work…While also performing holiday magic at home.And somehow not lose your mind in the process. It’s a lot. And no one really talks about how brutal this overlap is. Your job didn’t slow down, your life just sped up. This is the...
Let’s talk about something most people don’t say out loud:The holidays are hard on kids. They’re overstimulated. Overscheduled. Over-sugared.They’re absorbing the stress you’re carrying while trying to keep up with what they think the holidays are supposed to feel like, thanks to every commercial, school activity, and conversation around them. And unless we help them make sense of it all?The comparison, the excitement, the disappointment… it all comes out sideways. Cue: meltdowns, shutdowns,...
The holidays are here, and so is the pressure! To RSVP yes to everything.To host, to travel, to bake, to decorate, to volunteer, to show up with energy you don’t actually have.And to smile through it all, like it’s not draining you. Let me just say this clearly:More plans don’t equal more joy.Especially when you’re already running on fumes. This year, scaling back is the win. Because the real goal isn’t to do it all.It’s to feel connected.It’s to protect your peace.It’s to be present for your...
