Real life- how the heck do you work with kids at home?!

In my most recent ask for listener requests, the topic of working at home with kids at home came up. And I'm so glad it did. My take on working from home with kids is somewhat of a hot take- it's probably not what you think and whether or not you choose to do it like I do, I think you'll definitely walk away with some new insights!
In this episode:
I share with you the mistakes I've made while working with kids at home
some quick tips for working while you have kids at home
what my current work schedule looks like and why
Again, my goal is not to convince you that my way is the only way, but rather to help you get to a place where you feel comfortable with the choices you make while working with kids at home!

The Reason Your Goals Don’t Work

Every time we start a new month, a new quarter, and a new year, you see ALL kinds of posts and content around goal setting. I am a FIRM believer that goal setting is pretty essential to running a business and especially long term.
What I have found is you are creating goals... but within a week or two, there really hasn't been any progress, and especially with those year long goals, they go to the goal graveyard.
In this episode, I'm sharing with you why that happens and how to shift it for yourself!
We're discussing:
the general mentality around goal setting
the 2 missing pieces when goal setting
how to get the missing support to actually SMASH your goals
