Balanced & Free Mom Boss Podcast

In this episode, I will talk about how to handle difficult people and situations. When we encounter a difficult situation, the most common response is to try to take control or change the situation. Managing them internally instead of externally can give us better results. This simply means putting yourself in a good place mentally and physically and control what you can control. When you're in a good mental and physical state, things that are outside of you will not bother you as much. The feeling of powerlessness from these situations comes from trying to manage things that are beyond our control. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about managing difficult people and situations. It's a slightly different take, so you don't have to face difficult people and situations head-on. Key points: The reason why difficult people/situations give us feelings of powerlessness is it's outside of us. Difficult persons, situations have a greater effect on you if you let them get to you. Control what you can control. If you're in a good place mentally and physically, you minimize the effect of these difficult situations.   Connect with Me: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ Linktr.ee:https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website:https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching:https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about checking in with yourself, particularly processing negative emotions and how to handle discomfort. I'll also talk about how to navigate your way through it and manage them accordingly. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on Resting and Avoiding Discomfort and Negativity and the things we can do to handle it.   Key points: We tend to resist reality when we are resisting negative emotion. Acknowledging what we're going through can be helpful for to us navigate our way out of it. Resting doesn't mean that you're setting aside discomfort and negativity; setting them aside isn't a permanent fix.   Connect with Me: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ Linktr.ee:https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website:https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching:https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about moms running businesses but don't quite feel that they're running a business yet, for moms who put their business aspirations to the side, thinking their business role clashes with their role as a mom. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I talk about wanting your business to become more and the thoughts and beliefs that can keep or help us from getting the business that we want.   Key points: Negative thoughts and beliefs can keep you from having the business that you want to have. Aligning yourself to your business model and your goals can help create a successful business. Getting to your business goals takes clarity, consistency, and strategy.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will talk about outsourcing and delegating tasks. When should you delegate and outsource tasks? The simple answer would be when you feel like it. If there's something you want off of your plate. Delegating the tasks that you don't want to do means that you're freeing time to do the things that you love doing. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on outsourcing and delegating tasks, and when and how to get the assistance that you need.   Key points: The best time to outsource or delegate is when you feel like it. Taking something off of your plate means that you have more time to work on the things that are important to you. You don't have to justify taking something off of your plate, you don't have to justify wanting or needing help.

In this episode, I will talk about how burnout and how it differs from other forms of exhaustion. We all go through burnout in our jobs and business. Luckily, there are nuances and signs that burnout is creeping in and there are things we can do to keep it from happening. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about signs of burnout, how to detect it and what we can do to prevent it from happening.   Key points: Burnout can creep in in the form of brain fog, lack of motivation, and being disconnected. Being aware of the signs of burnout will help alleviate the exhaustion. Burnout is emotional and mental exhaustion, but it's commonly treated with physical remedies which is a temporary fix.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will discuss how the term “Family First” can keep you hold us back on our business. It doesn't mean not prioritizing our family, but it's sneaky thought that can often keep us from showing up on our business.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about When Family First Keeps You From Working on Your Business and how the term “family first” can hold us back and hold your forward movement back.   Key points: Family should always be the priority. We have to have the awareness on when to prioritize it over your business. The term family first is an easy excuse to intentionally skip the things that we don't want to do, like mundane and repetitive tasks. Making your family as an excuse can sneak on us without us even realizing it, so it's best to take your time and give it a thought before making a decision.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about why it's okay not to have it all figured out and why it's perfectly normal no feel that way. Most people aren't supposed to have it figured out. Life is a learning experience; even with people who feel that they have it all figured out, there are still nuances, adjustments, challenges that are needed to be addressed. It's not always smooth sailing. What's more important is to be flexible and smart, so you come equipped when such instances arise.  Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a talk on you aren't supposed to have it all figured out, why it's perfectly acceptable and why you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.   Key points: It's okay not to have it all figured out. What's important is you square up to it. There's always room to improve and almost endless opportunities to learn. The journey is more important than the destination.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will talk about the four lies we likely believe in that can impede progress or get you stuck. These are very common beliefs and can be sneaky because we encounter these things often that we get used to them. Having the consciousness to detect and do something about it will help us with our growth and can have a tremendous effect on our daily lives.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I discuss the four lies that you may be believing and how to be aware and navigate your way through it for a balanced and healthy life.   Key points: It's never selfish to invest in yourself. Investing in yourself is an investment in your family and the people around you. Your business is a real business. Making smart business decisions will mean that you don't have to trade time for money. Being successful doesn't necessarily mean that you shift the balance to your business and reduce your role as a present and loving mom. It's very possible to be both.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about flexibility and structure, or more specifically, batching. For those unfamiliar with what batching is, it's basically doing several tasks in a certain amount of time. Doing tasks in batches, scheduling and organizing them can help you go through several roles or tasks at the same time. The key is flexibility and organization. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I discuss flexibility and batching and how batching can help you with juggling or multitasking through tasks.   Keypoints Batching tasks can help you overcome multiple tasks in a shorter time span. The key to successful batching is flexibility and being organized. Batching can make things easier for you; anytime you can batch these roles or tasks to your own rhythm will make things run efficiently.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about bouncing back and flourishing before and after COVID-19. The past couple of years has been tough and people are a bit anxious about what's lies ahead and what are the pieces of the old normal are you willing to let go of? What are the pieces do you want to bring back? Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about the challenges that we're facing during this pandemic and what we can do to survive if not thrive during these times. Key points:Having a positive thought and outlook is one of the best things you can do to bounce back from the situation you're experiencing. Resting reality, or resisting the current situation is one of the biggest obstacles to moving on and bouncing back. Allow negative emotions to exist, it's an essential part of experiencing the goodness of being humans. Without cannot appreciate or experience the positive things in life without the negative things.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ 30 Day Balance Reboot: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/30-day-reboot Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about the 30-day coaching program. This program is packed with valuable content to be consumed in a short amount of time. It is designed in a way that the content is easily digestible anyway you chose to consume it. It doesn't matter if you watch them in short spurts or binge-watch, on your phone, when your standing in line, when you're on the go the program is very accessible. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a bit of discussion on my 30-day coaching and what to throughout the course for that Balance Reboot.   Key points: When you feel like your ready and fully committed coaching can be a worthwhile investment. Having a coach can basically allow you to do more for less time and effort. You can use the companion app for as little as 5 mins a day to help you do what you wanted to get do or create the feeling that you want to feel.

In this episode, I will talk about the benefits of having a coach and should you get one? Everyone has areas to improve on and having a coach can help you with that. A good coach can help cover your “blind spots” and complement your strengths. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on coaches and why you should get one. Here are the questions you need to ask yourself before deciding to get a coach: “Do I want change?” “Am I ready now?”, “Am I willing to try?” and “Am I willing to Invest?”   Key points: A coach is your blind spot spotter. Sometimes just need confidence in achieving things that we thought we couldn't do. Having a coach is like getting a master's degree in your own human behavior.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about leaning into growth and change. How to deal with the pain and discomfort that comes along with it and what makes the journey rewarding. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I talk about growth, change, and learning to embrace the whole experience.   Key points: Growth and change can often be painful and uncomfortable. It is what's makes the journey meaningful and memorable. A little part of us "dies" when we remain stagnant. Continuous growth and being purpose-driven are the only ways to move forward.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, we're going to take a break from our regular programming format. This episode is going to be a special treat, for me particularly.  I'm interviewing my youngest, Brielle, and talk about things that I've learned in coaching that I wanted to share with kids and teenagers. I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to learn about kids, ourselves, and how these concepts can be beneficial regardless of age and gender. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we change pace from our regular program and have a light-hearted but fruitful interview with my daughter Brielle.   Key Points: When you get overwhelmed by your emotions, the best thing you can do is take your time and think things through. There's always a way out if you take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings. Making mistakes or failing is okay. It's a great opportunity to learn. The good thing about mistakes and failure is the lessons and knowledge we get from them. When you try your hardest, you'll always move forward. There's always room to get better.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about our search for the how's, why's, and the what's, and how to get there. When we're trying to achieve something or get something that we want, we often find something that works and execute it. This seems like an easier approach, but it does not necessarily mean that it's the most suitable for you. The thing is, there are multiple ways to achieve a single result. The method that works best for another person may not be best for you. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss to discuss the "how, why, and what's of getting things done and achieving goals.     Key points; It's important to know the how, what, and the why's on what we want to achieve. Trust yourself when you've uncovered the "why." There are multiple ways to achieve a single result, so your way of getting there might differ from others. Looking inward is very helpful when you're trying to achieve something that you want. When you align your thinking with what you want to achieve, the action will become second nature to you, and your desired result will come naturally.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will talk about allocating space for what you want and the importance of intentionally creating space for your goals. Managing and dedicating time and space for everything you do is very important for a balanced and successful life. Having clear intentions on what you want will help you organize and prioritize your thoughts and allow space for what's important. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on allowing space for yourself and organizing your thoughts and belief to help get you going towards your goals.   Key points: The physical things that we think we want or need are never as important as why we want them. If we're able to choose how we go after our dreams and our goals more intentionally, we feel better in the process. Humans are hardwired for growth. That's why it's necessary to allow space for us to grow in.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will talk about decision-making. Making decisions, big or small, is part of our everyday lives. Sometimes, when making a big one choosing the correct decision can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Making tough decisions doesn't need to be complicated; it's all about managing your thoughts. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for an in-depth discussion on the challenges in making decisions and how to manage them.   Key points: Our brains are hardwired for comfort, so if we tend to lean towards the path of lesser resistance when making tough decisions, which is worth noting isn't always the right choice. When we're feeling overwhelmed with our decision, deciding to start is enough to get you going in the right direction. Managing your mind before making a decision will often lead you to the best results.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will continue what we talked about in the previous episode. This episode is part 2 of unsupportive spouses and tips on how to handle it. Previously I discussed that the word 'supportive' could mean differently depending on your relationship with your partner.  Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss to discuss choices and self-empowerment and what to do when we feel like our partners are unsupportive. Key points: Getting support and help is always an option, but it's not necessary or crucial. You always have a choice, and everything is optional. Choosing to make things happen or not is entirely up to you. The power to make significant changes in your life comes from you and no one else. You don't have to continue the decisions of your past. You don't need anybody's permission to change anything in your life at any moment.  You can communicate to your spouse on things that you want to happen, but ultimately, the decision to move towards it and be who you want to be is up to you, whether they comply or not. The truth is we cannot control what others do or don't do.

In this episode, I will talk about unsupportive spouses and partners and what we can do about it. This is going to be a two-part podcast since this is going to be quite a long topic. First, I will be discussing the definition of 'supportive,' what does it personally mean? Because the word 'supportive' can mean differently to anyone.  Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for an in-depth discussion on unsupportive spouses or partners and what we can do about it. Key points: Your spouse's support matters, but what's more important is your self-belief.  If you do not believe in yourself or what you're doing, support from your spouse or anyone will not matter much. Support starts from within; when we're in control, everything else will fall in its place.

In this episode, I will talk about the importance of small actions and why they shouldn't be overlooked. When going through our day-to-day, we often set and work on big goals, tasks, big moments, and we usually forget about the small actions and undervalue them. It's like we're setting high baselines of which actions needed to be celebrated. The motivation and inspiration to get bigger things done will come from intentionally consistently doing the smaller things and celebrating small accomplishments. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on Small Action and why we should take them into account and celebrate them.   Key Points: Small actions will cumulatively lead to bigger actions and lead to the results that you desire. If we can't muster up the big actions, what tends to happen is that there's no action. Doing the small actions will give you a sense of accomplishment and will lead to accomplishing bigger things.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will talk about essentialism and figuring out what to do. As mothers, there are days that we're too busy, with our chores, kids, and our job comes very often. When we have one of these days, sometimes we spread our efforts too thin that some of the tasks are left unfinished or not correctly done. If you experience this often, don't worry. You're not alone, and it's totally fine if some chores were left unfinished. We just need to learn how to prioritize and choose essential tasks and start from there. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on essentialism and what you should be doing to maximize your productivity. Key points: Being busy and productive are different things. Some tasks keep you busy, and some tasks get you what you want in your life. We just need to know which tasks need to be prioritized. When we put a lot of energy and exertion into whatever is the most pressing thing at the moment, there's an increased chance that we burned out.  Prioritizing and targeting where we exert our efforts will help you get essentials done and get the results we want.

In this episode, I will talk about productivity guilt and the fear of not being enough. Productivity guilt is basically the feeling of guilt caused by thinking that you should be doing more or feel that no matter how much you put in your day, there's always something that you could have accomplished.  Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a discussion on productivity guilt and what we can do to take control over it. Key points: Your productivity guilt does not define your worth or value. Don't let it make you feel that your effort isn't enough. Productivity guilt is mostly thoughts and beliefs that haven't been questioned. You have the power to decide what your expectations for your life are. Don't beat yourself up if mistakes happen or if you fall short of expectation. Allow yourself to make mistakes or fall short on expectations. What's important is your presence and your intentions.    Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about brain hacks that we can do for new habits. Since it's the time of the year that we make plans to be better or build routines, I will share practical mindsets on how to be on track in creating your desired habits or routines. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I share insights and tips from experience in how we can hack our brains in developing new habits. Key Points: Habits are the sum of what we do in a day. Habits can make things easier for us or hold us back. A habit becomes a habit because we repeatedly do it 'till it becomes embedded in our brain and becomes second nature. The trick to creating new habits is habit stacking. It's the method of pairing an old habit with a new one; this basically 'tricks' your brain into automating the new habit since you are pretty much doing the old one in autopilot.

First of all, I would like to greet everyone a happy new year! We made it to 2021. May we start the new year filled with hope, love, happiness, and the resolution to grow and improve. So back to our program. In this episode, I will talk about our tendencies to sabotage the goals or changes we want to achieve and balancing everything so we have constant movement towards fulfilling them. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for an insightful discussion on our tendencies to self-sabotage our future and what we can do to steadily move towards the goals that we set to accomplish.   Key points. We tend to build ‘walls' that stop us from moving forward due to our unconscious belief that we have about ourselves or circumstances where we base our future capabilities on our past shortcomings or failures.  Sometimes it isn't just the unconscious comparison to our past self that stops us; it's also us holding on to it. Your past failures and shortcomings are not indications or evidence that you can't achieve what you set out to do in the future.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about achieving your goals and having fun while attaining them. It has been our tradition to set out goals and resolutions at the beginning of each year. Let's be honest; most of these goals and changes we strictly follow for a few weeks or months at the beginning of the year. Most of the time, we lose focus, forget, or give up on them as we slowly and sometimes unconsciously return to what's familiar and comfortable to us.  When setting roadmaps to our goals and the changes we want to attain, we have to be mentally in the right place. If we are in a positive state mentally and spiritually, our desire to better ourselves will come through naturally and make the journey enjoyable. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about achieving goals and enjoying the journey of pursuing them. Key points: Most goals or resolutions are born from a place of lack, dissatisfaction, negative feelings, and thoughts from yourself and your life. When we feel good and love ourselves, changes and goals that we set are easier and more enjoyable to attain.  Any feeling you want is available to you now, and you can achieve goals and change and love where you are already.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

Hello everyone, we're just a few days away from Christmas. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and wish you a Merry Christmas. Even though 2020 has been filled with challenges, my hope and wish for you and your family is to have joy, love, health, and peace of mind as we celebrate the birth of Christ. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I love and cherish every one of you!

In this episode, I will talk about what to do with difficult people in our lives. It's not really what we're looking for during these times. The fact that the holidays this year is a bit different because of the lockdowns, the distancing, and cancellation of events, it's fair to say that difficult people make our lives more difficult.  So what are we to do if we have to deal with difficult people every day? What if I tell you that difficult people don't make our lives difficult? What's happening a lot of the time is we unconsciously or consciously believe that people directly cause our feelings. We automatically tag them as someone or something difficult. So if we feel negative things and think that this person or situation is the cause, we automatically go to this place where we need and want them to change. Often, our state has a lot to do with these difficult situations. We wouldn't consider most of them as difficult when we have a good state of mind and full of energy. We only flag them as difficult when we don't have the energy to deal with them appropriately. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about dealing with difficult people or situations and take them head-on from a different perspective. Key points: When we're in a good place mentally and physically, we'll minimize the ‘difficult' people or situations in our lives. Our energy level directly relates to these difficult moments. The more energy we have in dealing with things, the less we'll encounter these ‘difficult' moments.  We don't need to change the things around us that we think we need to change.

In this episode, I will talk about doing what you've planned to do, even when you don't want to. We've all been in situations where we prepared for something, a chore, or a project, and we're unable to find the energy to follow through. Sometimes finding the strength to get things started is the hard part. It's all about mindset. Which segues perfectly to what I'm about to present to you guys: honoring ourselves, the fourth pillar in the five pillars of balance. Honoring yourself will give you the confidence and belief in following through with your plans and bring you balance. Key Points: Setting your priorities and knowing what's important will give you peace and clarity, making following through with your plans easier. After establishing the confidence and the momentum to keep going, things will fall in their places. Most of the time, the reason why we're unable to follow through is fear and doubt. To overcome the hump, we have to present and honor the plans and commitment we've set for ourselves.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about the third of five pillars of the foundation of balance: Emotional Adulthood. Full disclaimer: Some might be resistant to this topic; I recommend keeping an open mind. Approaching the topic with an open mind might be the thing that can make a significant shift in your life. Now, back to the subject. Emotional adulthood is similar to emotional maturity or emotional intelligence kind-of.  It addresses a specific part of emotional maturity that doesn't normally get addressed. It's the part where we legitimately take full responsibility for our emotions and use that responsibility to serve our highest thoughts and desires. Join me in this episode of Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we dive into the subject of emotional adulthood and learn ways to control our emotions better to attain the balance and clarity we need.  Key points: Emotional adulthood is outgrowing the default immature emotional bubble and taking full responsibility for all our feelings, no matter what someone else does or doesn't do. When you're in an emotionally adult space, you will be more empowered to be the person you want to be and be in control of your life and its direction. Taking responsibility for how you feel, making choices on what you want to feel, and not blaming others or other things is an indication that you're an emotional adult. Our thinking is what creates emotional maturity or immaturity. It is where all the power and responsibility lie for our personal experiences and create what we truly want.  Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about holiday stress and being overwhelmed during these times. Since the holidays are fast approaching and it's kind of my jam, I wanted my experience on how to alleviate stress and prevent getting overwhelmed during these times.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I share tips on how to make the holidays more enjoyable and meaningful without stressing over it.   Key Points: Manage your mind and expectations. Pay attention to what you're thinking when you begin to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed about things. Make an effort to let go of the things that you can't control and focus more on the things you can. Know what is important to you. Be aware of what's important and manage priorities. If you know what's important it will be easier to plan ahead, set your priorities in order, and say ‘no' to less important things. Let go of people-pleasing, it's one of the biggest reasons why we're doing things in the holidays that we're not keen on doing. It's okay to politely decline an invitation if you really don't want to go. People-pleasing on the holidays will not do us any favor. Allow people to have their holiday experience and allow yourself to have yours. Bake goodies, share gifts, give service, because you want to do it. It's all about being intentional and liking what you do. Do it because that is how you want to enjoy your holiday.  Decide ahead of time. This will significantly cut back on mental and emotional stress. Having a plan on what to do or not do, who to see or not see, which events to participate in will help alleviate all that holiday stress. The less you spend thinking about stuff like these the more it'll make the holidays meaningful and enjoyable.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/ 

In this episode, I will talk about anxiousness and the things that drive it. Have you always felt that feeling of always wanting to do more? That your efforts aren't enough? While it is not always a welcome feeling, anxiousness is completely normal, and when managed correctly it can help us focus in the right direction. Although the things I've discussed in this episode can help get you through these conditions, please do not mistake the feeling of anxiousness for anxiety. While the initial feelings of anxiety and anxiousness can be the same, those who struggle with anxiety disorders will tend to be anxious constantly. It's always best to seek professional help if you're constantly experiencing anxiety episodes.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a meaningful discussion about anxiety and the feeling of needing to do more. Having that constant feeling of anxiousness is completely normal.    Key Points: It's absolutely normal to be anxious and have thoughts that we're not enough, that we need to do more. We are not at the mercy of your circumstances. We have the capacity to control which thoughts to entertain or not so we can focus on the things that really matter to us.Anxiousness is basically our primitive brain kicking in. It is just our brain trying to solve a problem that isn't a problem. Be open to the possibility that it is being driven by fears that aren't really a problem to be fearful of. We are not our thoughts. It doesn't define us. They don't make us good or bad. We just need to pay attention, be aware, and not indulge in thoughts that are not serving us on who we want to be.    Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/ 

In this episode, I will talk about perfectionism and why it is not always necessarily a good thing. Essentially perfectionism is a sign that we're afraid to mess up or be rejected. Without awareness, perfectionism could impact our ability to create and maintain balance. Paying too much attention to getting things right often gives us tunnel vision. We focus too much on getting things done the way we wanted that we tend to shut ourselves out from the people and things that are around us. Perfectionists tend to over-plan, doubt, and worry about things that are not even created yet. This can throw our mental and emotional balance off. That said, wanting good results and the desire to be good at something is perfectly normal. We just need a conscious effort to keep our perfectionist tendencies in check.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for an insightful chat about perfectionism and failure and how it can affect our mental and emotional balance.   Key Points:   Perfection is not a realistic standard.  And, forcing that standard on ourselves can take a toll on our mental and emotional balance.   Perfectionism is essentially a fear of failure and rejection. Sometimes we just have to let go and roll with the punches and allow ourselves to be human.   Failure and rejection are only opinions. It can only hurt us if we frame it into something hurtful. Think about famous inventors, they look at failure as data or feedback on getting closer to their goals.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/   

In this episode, I will talk about people-pleasing and how it can upset our balance. That's not to say that we shouldn't do nice things and please people. This simply means that we just have to be sincere in our intentions and we should be aware of the reasons and beliefs on why we do what we do. We help someone because that is who we truly are. We give out compliments because we wanted to brighten someone's day. We should avoid doing good deeds as a pre-emptive action into getting something that we want in return.   Join me in this episode for a discussion on how people-pleasing, when misused can be detrimental to our balance. And, when done with the insincere intentions, can conceal our true selves and create a cycle of misunderstanding, confusion, and frustration.    Key Points: If you're trying to please everyone, you're pleasing no one. To put it simply, people-pleasing is just emotional manipulation with the best of intentions.  Saying "no" isn't always a bad thing. You can be a kind and thoughtful person and still say "no". Just have to be honest when saying "yes" or "no". Sincerely saying "no" is a sign of maturity in your relationship. When saying "no" you don't owe someone an explanation. Self-honesty is key in knowing who to say yes or no to. In the long run, authenticity will make you happier and benefit you more than trying to please everyone.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about when things go wrong. 2020 has been a crazy year, we have had gone through fires, floods, political unrests, riots, recession, pandemic, and a lot more. It's has been a challenging year for most of us. I wanted to be clear that it's perfectly normal to have negative emotions during these strange times. We're all doing the best we can with what we have. We are all in this together. This is what this episode is for. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about patience, resilience, and self-control as we try and get through these rough times and how to minimize its effect on us and the people around us.   Key points: Most of the time the negative outbursts come from unintentionally resisting our current reality and the negative emotions that we're having. Awareness and acceptance can help minimize this.Life will always have it's negative and positive. To get more consistent, controlled results. The goal is to balance things a bit more.  Taking responsibility for your emotions and allow and process on the thoughts surrounding them is the very first step in being in control of your actions and results. Realize that every mistake, challenge, or trial we're in, it's always an opportunity to grow.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/  

In this episode, I will talk about the lies that we are told in society, or belief, or maybe just misconceptions about what balance truly is when it comes to motherhood, our businesses, or even self-care. I will also explain how to take responsibility for the stability of our minds and emotions. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss and realize that balance isn't about the time, it's the value that we are giving in the time that we are using. The balance is in the weight, not the time or the number of items. Key Points: True balance doesn't even actually come from trying to manage our time in perfect balance It comes first from balancing our thoughts and managing our thoughts and emotions Perfection is not the absence of negative emotion Balance is being able to manage your thoughts and your emotions which then helps you manage your actions and your results regardless of what those circumstances are If our actions and results come from our emotions, then that is a lot to be giving up Eliminating what's not necessary so that your scales aren't unbalanced in weight Our experience of balance is in our ability to balance our minds and our emotions first, the rest just follows suit from there 5 Lies: Lie #1 - Balance means equal time for everything Lie #2 - If you are balanced, you will never feel negative emotion Lie #3 - Circumstances will always be ideal Lie #4 - Balance means you have to do it all, all of the time Lie #5 - It's not possible Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about how to make sure that we have a clear objective and a clear desired result. I will also talk about why we create systems and routines before we even know what the real problem is or will be. Also, I will explain why schedules and routines are wonderful things, they are not the cause of your emotions, they are simply a tool to make tasks and goals easier to achieve. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss and learn how to use our primitive brain to our advantage instead of allowing it to derail us. Key Points: If you're feeling uncertain or anxious, let loose in order to feel better and avoid the negative feeling We give up control over what happened on inside of us, which is all of our thoughts and emotions to try and control something outside of us Anxiety and uncertainty is from the brain creating problems that aren't actually problems yet or maybe never will be Old beliefs and thoughts are still there still creating the emotions that we are trying to fix Add your primitive brain to your list of children that you take care of Figure out how to get uninterrupted time instead of focusing on how to multitask Pay attention to the thoughts that you are thinking when you are tempted to quit or not honor your plan There is nothing wrong with making a task more fun Got to take control over what we actually have control Pay attention to what we are thinking and feeling when we're not wanting to follow through on the things that we set up for ourselves Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about how you can start using your feelings more effectively for success on purpose, intentionally. I will also discuss the fact that our thoughts create our feelings, not our circumstances. Also, I will explain why you need to have awareness first, you can't change anything effectively without being aware of what's truly causing it. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss and discover that action is driven by the feeling you're having, you're trying to avoid, or you're trying to get. You don't have to wait to achieve something in order to feel how you want to feel, you can already have the life you want now based on how you chose to feel on the inside. Key Points: Have you ever had something so bad but you just keep on sabotaging yourself and your efforts? Why do we truly badly want something to sabotage ourselves, why do we not commit to what we agreed to do? The same thing that drives us towards success is the same thing that keeps us from it Everything we do or we don't do is because of the feeling that we're having or we're trying to avoid, or feeling we're trying to get. Feelings drive action, and the action that we take or don't take is how we get the results that we have in our life. Understand that every action in action, indulgence, and sabotage is all coming from a feeling Identify the feeling, what is the feeling that is actually causing this action. Identify the thought causing the feeling that's driving the action. What do I want to be feeling and what thoughts do I need to believe in order to feel that. You don't have to wait to achieve something in order to feel how you want to feel, you can already have the life you want now based on how you chose to feel on the inside.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

I will also discuss how pretty easy it is to get overwhelmed because of too many options in front of you and not really knowing which way is the best way. Join me in this episode of The Balanced and Free Mom Boss and know our truest priorities personally, family as a whole, and as a unit. Key Points: Figuring out where you are now versus where you want to be We aren't living our truest priority or aren't fully aware of them We can still really feel unbalanced but not be totally sure as to why There's always something to learn when you are a mom and an entrepreneur There is only the best way for you Sometimes we have priorities that we think our own Are you jumping off high places uncomfortable or are you pushing hard objects uncomfortable or a combination of both Clarity, Strategy, Consistency Know your priorities ahead of time Check-in with your top priorities Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

Join me in this episode of Balanced and Free Mom Boss and let me help you build confidence and trust in yourself and the confidence and trust that others have in you as well that can give you time, energy and freedom, and even love and appreciation. Key Points: Boundaries aren't always really set in stone Do you work when it's work time and mom when it's mom time? Misunderstanding on what boundaries even are A true boundary is something that you respect and honor You aren't fully focused on what you're doing so things take longer You have a hard time telling people "no" You lack clarity or direction either in your business or in your home life, you're overwhelmed and burned out You have boundaries but you don't communicate them to anyone We have trouble setting and honoring our boundaries because we are afraid to disappoint or hurt someone Decide what your boundaries are, start with one Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will tell you how to have more energy as a mom and an entrepreneur, and how to use our brain to our advantage to create more energy instead of allowing it to take over and make it harder for ourselves in the long run. I will also talk about why we aren't exhausted from the work we do in a day, but we are because of fear, worry, confusion, and the fear of failure as a mom or in business. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we discuss our “THINKING” which will always be our greatest hurdle to getting what we truly want. We'll also talk about how to eliminate what is not necessary or isn't getting you closer to your goals, whether it's in your business or family life. Key Points: There's so much energy going into just the everyday survival that there's nothing really left to truly go towards yourself or your dreams, or your projects or even fully into your business What can I add to my life in order to have more energy? Exhaustion from having to weigh too many decisions We are tired because we want to hold on to our painful stories, our fears, and our worries Our brain is so much more focused on short term release The best way to get more energy is to first identify what's draining it Make decisions ahead of time Delegate, Automate, Eliminate Our brain can trick us on making things so much harder   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

I'm Brittany Dow, a mother of three, 2x entrepreneur, and Certified Life and Business Coach. Yes, I have three kids and have an amazing husband and I have created a wonderful life of balance where I have quality relationships with my kids, my husband, and myself. I have what is MY version of a picture-perfect life for me and am still creating what I want my future to look like for myself, my family, AND my business. I've done entrepreneurship both ways (the hot mess burn out way and the balanced way), and know intimately the struggles and pains of running a business and raising a family at the same time. But it doesn't matter if I created it for myself or if you think my life is enviable (a marketing expert told me I should make my life seem enviable to my clients. Uhm no- how about I just be me?). What matters is if I can help YOU create the life YOU want. And I can. I believe in you. It's time you did too. But here's the only thing that you really need to know about me, I can help you. I want to help you, and coaching with me is never about me, it's about you.   Key Points: I Help Mom Bosses Achieve Success and Freedom on their terms in their Businesses and Home life If you are a work from home mom entrepreneur who is ready to create the balance needed to be the successful business owner & mom you've always wanted to be, I am here to help Too much work will make you miss the childhood moments that you should have with your children Have success while being an amazing mom without being overwhelmed or burnt out Be the mom that we want to be or believe that we should be Consciously sabotaging our dreams and our businesses every time we feel that it is in conflict with something in our motherly roles Creating freedom, abundance and success in your business and home life simultaneously   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/
