Before you respond to that "new year, new you!" pressure, consider decluttering where it really matters so that you can have the flexibility and resilience that the sensory overload of motherhood demands of you.

In this episode, we'll dive into 3 ways you can cut back or simplify as you head into the new year (or really any time!):

• Personal expectations (especially considering time and other people's expectations)
• Daily decisions
• Curriculum that isn't serving you

You'll also find out why it's helpful to do this BEFORE setting personal transformation goals.

Have you set goals or are you holding off?
Join in the conversation in the private facebook group or on instagram.

If you want help getting clear on what matters to you as a mom struggling with overstimulation, book your free consultation here.
