Somewhere between the endless loads of laundry, wiping of tiny noses and bottoms, and balancing #AllTheThings, we’ve have to train our brain and imagination to prioritize fun and play. It doesn’t always come naturally…even when kids are playing around us all the time!
So from one tired parent to another, here’s our best advice for staying connected to your imagination while juggling parenting, work, and life!
How often do we wait until we’re overly frustrated with something we can’t do before we reach out and ask for help?
Admitting when we aren’t capable of doing something is hard and can even be pretty scary (especially something we should be able to do). After all, we want to come across as capable, have-it-all-together people who offer help to others – not admit we need it ourselves.
This month, we’re going to be exploring the value of collaboration and how we can work together to be even better, starting with asking and inviting.
How many times have you thought or even said “I really should…” in the last 24 hours?
Known as the “s” word of busy people, the act of “shoulding” all over ourselves and others is the fastest route to blame, guilt, and even shame.
Imagine what life would be like if you embraced more self-compassion and ditched this default reaction of “shoulding” and ruminating on what didn’t happen or hasn’t occurred yet.
What if you decided to live this year differently?
Imagine how your personal life, professional career, and family would change.
As we welcome a new year, we invite you to consider how you’ve been living and what you’ve been producing. Are you proud of your life now? Or do you need to make some changes?
Join us this month as we share how to develop more resilience in yourself and your children so you can start the year off stronger and more equipped for whatever is ahead!
As we wrap up another full year, what’s NOW for you?
Take a moment a reflect on what this year has held and what you’re proud to have experienced and completed – or simply started – before forging ahead to the next thing.
While being future-focused serves a purpose, it also takes us away from being present and reflecting on our lives now. This month, join us as we practice the value of reflection.

What if you measured your wealth based on how creative you are, not how much money you make?
This month, we’ll be focusing on acknowledging, expressing, and cultivating our “creative capital” – the intrinsic assets you have to dream, design, and develop new ideas!
Here are four of our favorite strategies as you start exploring and enhancing your creative capital!
As summer transitions to fall, there is a natural change in the rhythm of our lives. There may be certain things that have shifted that we must release, like autumn leaves changing color and then falling off the tree. Certain expectations and goals may remain unmet, leaving us feeling stuck or even facing failure gremlins that like to hibernate in our best-laid-intentions.
Instead of mourning what has been lost or feeling weighed down by what hasn’t happened yet, this month we invite you to pause and ponder what moments you can honor and celebrate now. Together, let’s reclaim a sense of purpose in the middle of the uncertainty as we stand firm against common “Celebration Saboteurs” that try and steal our joy!
Sometimes, we simply need to create more space to explore where we already are instead of going somewhere new. This is the true test of exploration – to be where you are and still find the adventure!
This summer, instead of experiencing travel FOMO and thinking of all the places you’re not, let’s embrace our reality and explore where we are right now.
