How can mums and mumpreneurs live a more intentional life on a day-to-day basis? Intentional living can feel like another expectation on your shoulders. There is already so much to do. However, being more intentional could actually be the solution. When you're intentional, you focus on what's really important in your life. That's why in this blog post, we're sharing how mums and mumpreneurs can be more intentional.

1. Media Consumption

A good place for you to start intentionality is with your media consumption. These days media surround us, whether this is an entire series being...

Being intentional takes effort. It requires you to make far more conscious choices rather than engaging the autopilot. As mums and mumpreneurs, our lives are already busy, often overwhelming. So, why should we consider intentional living? In this month’s newsletter, we discussed what living intentionally means. But in today’s blog post, we’re going to share five benefits of intentional living, so you can see it’s more than worth the effort.

1. Happiness

Isn’t this what we’re all striving for in the end? Studies have repeatedly linked intentional...

How can a review of your year help you improve the next? This month, we’ve been talking about reviewing the different areas of your life and celebrating the successes. However, to really excel in 2023, there will be lessons you can learn and take forward, such as identifying the activities which are or are not serving you. That’s what we’re going to support you with in this blog post. We’re going to look at each area of your life and, using the review you did earlier this month, learn the lessons you need for 2023.

For many mums and mumpreneurs, this...

How can you celebrate when something good happens? In this month’s newsletter, we discussed how you can review your year, seeking both things you could celebrate and lessons to learn. Generally, mums and mumpreneurs do not excel in celebrating their achievements. Often, we think it’s not a big deal and weighed down with a never-ending to-do list, we move onto our next task without a second thought. However, celebrating is essential for numerous reasons. It allows us to recognise what we should keep doing, supports a positive mindset, and improves motivation. How to celebrate,...

Feeling unsure about what you really want? Did the summer holidays give you a different perspective? We all go through times where we feel like we lack clarity in our lives. Often, we’re so busy with the day-to-day stuff we end up just going through the motions rather than considering what we really want. However, we’re here to help with our five top tips on how to gain absolute clarity.

1. Create Space

When you’re a mum or mumpreneur, there can be little space in your life. Your house is overflowing with everything that comes with having children and little time,...

Have you ever felt dissatisfied with your life? Perhaps you’ve even felt this despite apparently having what you thought you wanted? It is not uncommon for a mum or mumpreneur to have a lifestyle that she thinks should bring happiness and to believe something is wrong with her because she’s still not content. However, this normally indicates a lack of clarity about what you really want. In this blog post, we’re looking at the different areas of your life which can benefit from that clarity. This is not about making every day magical – that would be unrealistic....

Have you ever felt ‘off’ somehow? Perhaps you’ve woken up in the morning and found sleep has not refreshed you? While most mums and mumpreneurs will experience overwhelm in their life, many do not recognise it until it becomes a serious problem and affects their health. That’s because we don’t always recognise the symptoms. We put them down as ‘life as a mum’ or just one of those things. In our next blog post we’ll be looking at how you can overcome overwhelm, and this is much easier to do if you recognise it early. That’s why...

What steps can you take to increase your chances of being successful? This month, we’ve been looking at defining your own idea of success and how you can gain clarity around this. With those pieces of the puzzle in place, it’s now time to go after that vision. We’re sharing five steps you can take that will lead you to success.

1. Setting Goals

The first thing to do is set yourself some specific goals—ones you can measure. We talked about this at the beginning of the year. However, with more clarity around what success means to you, those goals might need to...

If you want to achieve success, you need clarity and preparation. As we discussed in the newsletter, success is something you get to define. But there are a few things you need to do before you can make this happen, whatever area of life you focus on. As busy mums and mumpreneurs, we tend to put aside the things we want. Consequently, we end up unprepared and lacking clarity. To change this, here are five ways to prepare for success.

1. Clearly Communicate What You Want

One of the most important factors is to get clear on your idea of success. It is only once you’ve done this...

You may find your motivation waning. For example, perhaps you told yourself that you would reward yourself with a slice of cake when you completed a task. But now, you don’t care. You’re going to have that slice of cake, regardless. But you also know it’s important to push through this tricky patch and keep going. What can you do to stay motivated?

As we discussed in last month’s newsletter, there are two forms of motivation: extrinsic and intrinsic. Outside rewards such as a slice of cake are extrinsic forms of motivation. While these are much easier to set-up and...
