I so needed to see this video! Our twins are only 2 weeks old and I already have realized I simply cannot do it all. You want to, but you just can't (unless you want to burn out lol) It's all about setting priorities and focusing on the goals you want to achieve both personally and professionally. Thanks so much for vocalizing what so many women are constantly worrying about! Another great video, Lisa!
Elizabeth Montilla I think when we are entrepreneurs it makes it like 100 times worse because our businesses are like another child!!!!! Rachel Hollis shares in her new book (another great one in addition to the Jennifer Fulwiler book I mention in this video) that when you are a new mom you have two jobs: take care of you, take care of baby. Everything else: the clean living room, the Pinterest worthy meals, looking like you didn’t pop out a child your hair is so shiny etc. is not on the list 😉Literally, you have two things on the to do list right now and that is enough :)
Oh wow!! God bless you! Thanks for sharing this!!! I guess that I need to first decide what really brings me joy and what I believe God is calling me to qt this time. I can see now that I’m not successful in a lot of areas because “I’m trying to do it all MYSELF”. Definitely need to take a look at what I can delete and or delegate.
Thank you so much for doing this! It was perfect timing. I have been homeschooling my 6 kids while taking care of our fixer upper house and volunteering. I need to get a job and can't afford a nanny, cleaners or even someone mowing the lawn. (half an acre with a tiny push mower) I get so jealous when I see moms like you, "Doing it all" when some days I don't even want to get out of bed. Thank you! It has provided clarity.
mamafranklin oh friend, I am so glad. I would love to chat more with you on how you could create income at home! Will you send me a dm on insta and we can chat?
Oh my gosh Lisa!! Thank you for being so transparent about the difficulties you’ve gone through… because I gotta say, lots of moms DO NOT like to agree with what I just said and DO NOT like to show vulnerability… so THX SO MUCH for sharing your precious vulnerabilities (we are so lucky to hear about them cuz it’s really encouraging and uplifting). I guess for this to truly work out, often times requires the spouse to also BE in the SAME time zone regarding where we are in our lives right now( which I presume this is also how you tried to worked out with your husband👌👌👌)
Makes 100% sense and I appreciate you saying so. My oldest is 7 and this year I feel myself burning out. I didn’t think it would ever happen but it’s happening and I needed to hear your words. Thank you!
Thanks Lisa!!! I love your keep it real beautiful heart!!! The reality of the beauty of motherhood and also the permission to not do it all!!! Woohoo!! So great!!
Thank you for your candour and authenticity, Lisa. I think so many of us moms who juggle so many balls needed to hear this. About your meal planning - does your nanny/Hello Fresh decide entirely what your family is going to eat? I feel like my brain is going to explode having to anticipate and plan what my family is going to eat every day/week and then when you add the grocery shopping to it I'm like 😭😱. It is such a grind! And to think we're only a family of 5 (with three picky eaters)! Any further insights welcome. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Your videos have helped me so much over the past year. I even started making videos again because if you can do it with almost 7 kids, I can do it with one! :) So excited to see your new mom/balance work!
Such a beautiful, authentic and vulnerable video, Lisa! I think, if I could afford it, organizing our house and decluttering would be something I’d be pretty happy to delegate :).
Rachel Rumsey do you have anyone in your life who loves to do this? Maybe you could swap time with them in exchange for something else? I have an amazing friend who did this for my basement- her blue flame is organizing!!!!!
Again a great video. I am about 5 weeks away from having my third and I need to automate more. But I haven’t (yet). Thanks for the ideas. And I absolutely LOVE your dress, wish I had one like it!
Btw I don’t work, SAHM now and we can’t afford any help so that could prove to be a bit of a challenge. Esp once baby 3 is here. But Hey, i will survive. I guess ☺️
Maaike van Dijk-Bokkers also, I have a friend who worked out an arrangement with a friend where they each take care of each other’s children one day a week so they both get a day to themselves!!!!! Do you have anyone in your life you could do this with?
