Motherhood.

One word containing perhaps every emotion known to us as humans.

There really isn’t only one way to sum up being a mother, so I thought I would put together some of my favourite inspiring quotes about becoming a mother.

For times when you need to be uplifted, inspired, challenged or soothed, I hope these words help in your own journey as they do in mine.

Things I’ve learned from running a business when up the duff:

1️⃣ Slow
2️⃣ The
3️⃣ Fark
4️⃣ Down

Third time round in pregnancy but second time round running a business when pregnant and it’s much need reminder to be present and take things one step at a time.

I’ve never been someone who thrives on hustling.
Throw in some fatigue and a big ‘ol belly- it’s really forced me to stop and strategise a bit more to make sure I’m working smarter not harder!

Perfect timing with @brianasorgiovanni_ goal setting event thanks to @fusionbizco I was able to spend some time getting really clear on my plan for the new year (and new baby!)

We had a kickass table of women at the event this morning.

She let go ✨ She let go. Without a thought or

She let go ✨

She let go.
Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

Today’s LIVE was all about the tools I use to create infographics and shareable social media content like this ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

It may surprise you that I don’t do every single illustration myself- I just don’t have time!
So when I’m looking for unique graphics to use for social media content I head to @creativemarket

They have EVERYTHING digital you could need for making boss content 👊🏾
(warning: you may head down the rabbit hole once you start browsing!)

No surprises that the other tool I use regularly is @canva 💙💙💙

To check out how the beginnings of how I made this infographic you can catch the replay on my IGTV 📺

Creative Market + Canva = 🎉

Finding balance in motherhood and business //⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not so long ago, I turned on the setting on my iPhone that tracks your screen time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I guesstimated that I spent around an hour on my phone each day... WRONG!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was spending anywhere from 3-5 hours PER DAY in screen time 😱😱😱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was SHOOK (and ashamed, really) because I knew that most of that time was wasted just scrolling mindlessly...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I'm telling myself I don't have enough time - I try to remind myself that there's plenty of opportunities in the day that I could be more productive, it's about making the most of them...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
