Ep 145 | Is Balance Possible When You Have a Goal? - with Sara Jimenez

You are a busy working mama, and your season is full. I get it! You have a goal you’d like to work on for yourself, but you just don’t really know if it’s possible to go after that goal and still have balance in your life. You’re asking the question, is balance even possible when you have a goal?

Well, I can tell you first-hand that I’ve thought both ways – balance isn’t possible and you have to sacrifice everything to go after a goal (old me), and now I know balance is completely possible and you can still be present in your life while working toward a goal (new me). How? By understanding the season you are in and understanding how to break that goal down into manageable bites.

Today I have my good friend Sara here with me to share more about how to have both – balance and a goal. She has gone through the hot mess mom express, but she found a breakthrough realizing she was living the way she was based on beliefs that dictated her actions and that she didn’t have to live that way any longer, all she had to do was change, and that’s what she decided to do.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

Ep 143 | 3 Reasons Having a Goal HELPS Your Kids - Why Your Kids NEED to See You Win

I LOVE being a mom, and I feel like it's been one of the greatest ministries I could ever have, what a gift! But I also, deep down inside, felt a stirring that I wanted to do something that matters outside of motherhood, something that would make an impact on others around me.

Sometimes I felt guilty for wanting something more than motherhood, but I also wanted to be my kids' best example, and how was I going to do that without following that call on my heart?

My greatest ministry is my children, and, because of that, I have to be willing to show them the way in which to walk. This includes how to listen to God's calling, how to set goals, how to take action on them, and how to win.

They are looking to me and my husband first, and if we're not willing to be that example, they will look elsewhere. I don't want that! I want to be their best example.

Today we're talking about the three reasons having a goal actually HELPS your kids. This will help give you permission to go after that goal stirring in your heart because your kids NEED you to!

Ep 142 | 5 Things You Should Delegate to Find Time for Your Goals

You want to work toward the goal you have right now, but every time you think about it, you also see a messy house and all the to-dos that need to get done. And, if you're not doing them, who will? Am I right?

Well, that doesn't have to be the case!

You worry about the to-dos because you feel like you're expected to be the one to do them all. Cleaning, driving, laundry, cooking, shopping, bedtime, prepping for school, and the list goes on. I'm worn out just listing the things off!

I was always burned out and frustrated when I tried to do it all. In a season where I literally couldn't because my plate was so full, I learned delegation. I haven't looked back since!

Today we dive into 5 things you should delegate to find time for your goals. Are you ready?

Ep 141 | Change How You Set Goals - 3 Tips for Setting Realistic, Doable Goals in Motherhood

Hey Winner,

Think about how you've set goals in the past. Have you followed a certain method? Have you set huge, monumental goals that you didn't even believe? Did you set monetary goals or numbers-based goals that may not have been in your control?

Well, I have done that too. I began my journey of setting goals thinking I had to set outlandish goals that seemed completely impossible. Granted, I love big dreams, and we should imagine huge, but that is not how to set the best goals that will take you to the finish line.

So, today, I want you to forget about everything you've learned about setting goals, come into this episode with fresh ears, bring a notebook and pen, and let's talk about the best way to set goals that you are confident in and that you will put the action toward.

These are the best kinds of goals!

Ep 140 | 6 Tips to Create White Space for Yourself - How to Find ME Time in the Busy-ness of Motherhood

Hey Winner,

Finding ME time can be quite taboo these days, but creating white space in your life can affect how you show up. When you have peace in the midst of a busy season, you show up rested and ready to tackle whatever comes. Peace comes from creating that time for yourself to just be. The quiet is a place to think, pray, and be creative.

The white space, the quiet, is good for us! In the noisy world we live in, we think we need to have background noise 24/7, but that's just not the case. The quiet isn't distracting. God can speak to us in the quiet.

But, I know you're thinking, "Gabe! I am in the busiest part of motherhood yet, or I feel like I am. How in the world can I find even 5 minutes for white space in my life?"

I hear ya, and I'm right with you. I felt the same way. Every second of my day was filled with something, and if I did have a few minutes, I'd turn on music or a podcast or scroll social. It was like quiet was my enemy because I was so used to all the noise. BUT when I let go of all the noise I created and actually made time to listen to my own thoughts, my days became more peaceful and rested — even with the busy schedule I still hold.

Want to know my 6 tips to create white space in your life and to create a little ME time in the busy-ness of motherhood? Then let's dive in!

139 | Biblical Care for Moms - The Self-Care You Desperately Need to Refuel with Sasha Robertson

Have you struggled with the idea of taking time for yourself because you’re just too busy to even think about it?

I used to feel that way too, like I had no time for myself because I was always so worried about being everything for everyone. My house was a mess, I couldn’t keep up with the household chores, my work, the kids’ activities, and I was a hot mess!

All I wanted was a little bit of me-time to refresh and refuel, but I never seemed to find it. I always put myself last. I’d say my cup was always near empty, and that’s a hard way to live. 

I don’t believe I’m the only one who has struggled with taking time out to recharge, and I’m not one to do all the worldly self-care things. For me, self care means I’m filling my cup so I have something to give. It helps me be a better wife and mom and friend and worker. 

That’s why today I’m bringing on my new friend Sasha to share more about what Biblical care for moms looks like, how it’s different from the world’s meaning, and how to practically implement it into our busy lives – and why we need to. 

Sasha Star Robertson is an Intentional Living & Biblical Mindset Coach for moms, wife of 12 years to her best friend, boy mom (blessed by adoption), travel addict, and Jesus freak. She is the founder of The Intentional Abundance Co., co-creator of the IAM coaching system, curator of the Life & Goals Planner, and host of the Intentional Abundant Life Podcast.

138 | Creating Systems and Routines Around Your Goal - How to Get to the Finish

Hey Winner,

Having a goal is a great thing (and I want you to have one), but without some systems or routines in place to create the space for you to work on it, you may never get to the finish line you were hoping for.

I remember back to early motherhood when I first began really dreaming again and creating goals around those dreams. I always felt so disorganized, and all I wanted was to find a way to change that so I could find time to do something for myself and focus on a goal that could make an impact. I knew I had just as much time as everyone else, but I had a hard time creating systems or routines that could help me accomplish this.

Over the years, I've figured out a few things and really dedicated myself to understanding how to create systems that work for the busy motherhood season I'm in, and now I want to share them with you.

What do these systems look like, what are the top 3 I recommend having, and how do you set something up like this? Well, stick around, because that's where we're going today.

137 | Find “ME” Time for Your Goals by Getting Started with a Simple Morning Routine - with Cason Schulze

I have a confession to make. I AM a morning person! My natural clock wakes me up early, so creating a morning routine was something I learned to do early on. BUT, I know many of you mamas are in a season of life where you’re staying up late or maybe even getting up a few times a night with littles, and you don’t want to set that alarm any earlier than you have to.

My friend Cason was the same way. She tried for years to be a morning person and wake up an hour earlier than she needed to, but she could never stay consistent with it – which ultimately led her to feeling like a failure. 

But, she found out a little secret. The key for her to maintain a morning routine was to start small and build from there.

Cason Schulze is a wife, girl mom of 3, speaker, mentor, and host of Her Pursuit, a top-ranked podcast for moms. She helps moms simplify routines to create more time for themselves.

She does this by equipping moms with tools to create an intentional life they're proud of so they can confidently show up as the women and mothers God created them to be. Cason believes when we partner with God and take tiny steps of action, our lives will be transformed and reflect the abundant life God promises us, regardless of our season in motherhood.

If you’re looking for ways to find more time for yourself, then keep on listening!

Let’s step into the fire with Cason!

Ep 136 | How to Set Simple Goals that You WILL FINISH in the Season of Life You are in

Hey Winner,

So, you want to go after a goal, but you are a busy mama and you have too much on your plate. You feel the stirring to do something for yourself that can have a larger impact, but you are overwhelmed by the thought of adding this massive feat into your day. How will it come together in the season of life that you're in right now? How can you possibly hold it together and find time to do the thing?

All you need is a plan to set a simple goal in the season you are in. Your dream may be huge and seem impossible, but if it's a dream from God, it's your purpose work, and He will turn the impossible into reality if you take action and walk in it. But, in order to do that, you will need to cater your action plan to the season of motherhood you are in. Those precious children are your first mission field, but you can add this in, I promise!

All you need to do is ask, "How can I work toward this God-given goal simply?" We'll answer that question today, so stick around!

Rooting for you ~ Gabe
