THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: In Your Own Time
Mamas!

I'm getting ready for two weeks of vacation - I'm taking my little guy Matt & my nephew across the country to visit my parents. I've waited a long time to get on a plane with Matt - almost three years! I just wasn't ready for Matt Packingthe "big trip" before (time zone and routine change, six hours of Matt's energy in a confined space, etc.) but it feels completely right now.

This week's newsletter is about doing things In Your Own Time. Scroll down to Your Coaching Moment to remember to trust yourself about what's right for you, your family and your life.

All the best from your coach,
Amy
Founder, Empowered Motherhood LLC

Matt getting ready for our trip!

GET A BOOST!

Finding Your BalanceA booster is a short audio program and mini workbook that brings the best of our coaching tools right to your computer.

Finding YOUR Balance is one of my favorite boosters, a chance to focus on what’s truly important to you.  Finding your balance is NOT about making sure your life is a neatly divided pie with equal parts of family, career, home, etc.  Finding your balance is unique to you. It’s about prioritizing and committing to things to do and ways to be that keep your feet on the ground. Solid. Strong. So nothing can knock you over.

                     You deserve a little support, inspiration and challenge!

YOUR COACHING Moment
In Your Own Time

There is so much advice on timing in the world of motherhood. It starts when you are expecting and keeps up through every age and stage - how long you should nurse, when your kids should be out of diapers, how fast they should be learning to read, when they should get their ears pierced or go on their first date! And the time expectations are not just about our kids, there are plenty of expectations about our development and expertise as mothers and women.

I remember back when I was pregnant - second trimester - I just wasn't interested in the baby clothes or nursery planning. Friends kept giving me hand-me-downs and I just put them in the garage. It was all overwhelming to me. And then magically in my third trimester I was all over those clothes! That was the timing that worked for me. I tend to be a late bloomer.

Today I give you full permission to BE exactly where you are, for your babies and children to be exactly where they are, as well as your family as a whole. This is your journey.

So, where have you been questioning or beating yourself up for being too far behind or too far ahead? Where do you need to step up and own the timing that is right for you?

COACH YOURSELF: Look across your life and pick one place where you need to assert your right to do things in your own time. Do so! You have my full support!
