This week on the Real Happy Mom Podcast, I’m doing something special for my birthday. I’m sharing the biggest lesson the past year has taught me—why waiting for things to be perfect keeps us stuck. I also have a special birthday gift for you: a sneak peek into my upcoming book! Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s dive into some reflections, messy action, and a powerful reminder about protecting your peace.

3 Takeaways from this episode:

1. Waiting for perfection often leads to staying stuck—progress starts with messy action.
2. Protecting your peace may look like setting boundaries, even if it makes you the “bad guy” in someone else’s story.
3. Boundaries aren’t betrayal; they are love letters to your future self.

Ever have one of those nights where you’re staring at the fridge with no clue what to make for dinner, and no energy left to figure it out? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Real Happy Mom Podcast, we're talking about what to do when motivation has left the building and you're running on fumes.

Tune in to learn simple strategies that will help you get things done without burning out.

Mentioned in this episode:
👉 The Get Stuff Done Toolkit – The plug-and-play system to help busy moms go from frazzled to focused without overcomplicating life.
👉 Join the waitlist for Confident Mom Life – A 6-week guided experience to help you build simple, flexible routines that actually stick.

3 Takeaways from this episode:

1. Motivation is flaky—systems aren't.
   Relying on motivation is like waiting on a friend who only shows up when it's fun. Systems and routines are what help you follow through even when you're wiped out.
2. You don’t need more energy—you need fewer decisions.
   Decision fatigue is real, and routines that cut down the number of choices you make can make your day feel so much easier.
3. Simple = sustainable.
   The best routines aren’t fancy—they’re the ones that work when you’re not at your best. Think plug-and-play meals, 3-step evening wind-downs, and breathing room built into your day.

Ever feel like you're just not a "routines person"? Before you blame yourself, listen in. In this episode of the Real Happy Mom Podcast, we’re breaking down five reasons why your routines aren’t sticking—and none of them have to do with your motivation or willpower. If you’ve ever tried someone else’s perfect system and felt like a failure, this is your reminder: it’s not you, it’s the routine.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most routines are built for ideal conditions (and what to do instead).
• How to build a routine that fits your energy, season, and lifestyle.
• Why flexibility—not perfection—is the secret to consistency.

3 Takeaways:

1. Make It Fit Real Life:
   Routines built on someone else’s perfect day won’t survive real-life interruptions. Yours should bend with your season, not break at the first challenge.
2. Keep It Simple + Flexible:
   Small, repeatable routines—like a 10-minute tidy or 3-step morning reset—are more effective than rigid, overwhelming systems.
3. You’re Not the Problem—The System Might Be:
   You don’t need more discipline—you need tools that support you, not stress you out. A Trello board or 3 go-to dinners might be your real secret weapon.
