The Working Mom Happiness Method

In this episode Meghan shares her most life-changing takeaways from taking The Working Mom Happiness Method program.  She shares her journey with defining and prioritizing her values, and how she struggled with the idea of putting herself first over her kids.  We also cover "messy action," how ready is a decision, not a feeling, and High Intention, Low Attachment (HILA).The most exciting part though is that Meghan has written a book!!  Such an amazing accomplishment for anyone, let alone a busy, working mom of three.  The book is called "With Grace and Gratitude: A Memoir of Uncoupling, Co-Parenting, and Collective Healing" Meg offers a poignant memoir detailing her courageous pursuit of conscious uncoupling and civil co-parenting amidst the dissolution of her marriage. With candor and vulnerability, she shares her evolution from a period of faith and identity crisis to the decision to end her marriage, embarking on a journey of deconstruction and intentional healing.Follow Meg on Instagram @megcampbellcoaching and visit her website www.megcampbellcoaching.com for all the details on her book launch!Follow me on Instagram @katyblommerTo join The Working Mom Happiness Method Facebook group click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/886146028616668

In this episode we'll dive deep into money mindset.Most of us were raised in a household that had scarcity money mindset, and most of us feel some level of guilt or discomfort spending money on things that will make our lives easier.  One classic example of this that I come across with the women I work with is paying to hire a company or person to clean your house.  Most of the women I've coached have not done this because they think it's something that's too expensive for them.Then we dive deep into it, the reality is they actually can afford it, they've just been taught (like most of us have) that it's wasting money to pay someone to do something that you can do yourself.Well, I'm here to tell you that you are worth it, and it is definitely not wasting money because when you switch from scarcity to abundance mindset with money, and you start to pay for things like this that free up your time and reduce your stress level, you'll be shocked about how it leads to you earning more money...Here are links to the books I reference in the episode:Rich as F*ck by Amanda FrancesWe Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel RodgersTo check out The Working Mom Happiness Method coaching course, visit my website at https://www.womensbestlifeuniversity.com/working-mom-happiness-methodFollow me on Instagram @katyblommer: https://www.instagram.com/katyblommer/The show notes for this episode are here: https://www.womensbestlifeuniversity.com/podcast/035To join The Working Mom Happiness Method Facebook group click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/886146028616668
