Hello Amazing Mom! Do you ever feel like your worth is measured by the number of checkboxes ticked off on your to-do list? Are you constantly battling the guilt of unfinished tasks while trying to maintain your sense of self?

You’ll understand values-based systems, the importance of getting family involved with tasks, how to take conversations with friends beyond the tasks that keep us busy, and much more. Remember: You are not defined by your task list. Your worth extends far beyond what you accomplish in a day.

"We want to avoid the hospital. We want to avoid doctors, right? We may need it one day and that's okay, but we want to try to avoid as much as possible and get back to a state of optimal health."
