Downshifting And Upshifting For Working Moms

05/10/23 • 24 min

Working mom face unique challenges with time, energy, and resources spent between home life, family life, and work life. In this podcast, I explore how "downshifting" and "upshifting" can be a useful and empowering framework to help you live a life aligned with your values and on your terms.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by work and powerless to make changes, this podcast will help you create more work life balance in a unique and different way that no one is talking about right now.

Without making downshifting or upshifting a moral issue, but instead making it a personal decision, you can lead a centered life that has space for both your work life and your home life. Tune in to learn how.

How I Use These Practices In My Everyday Life

As a former type-A lawyer and financial planner turned grounded, present living wife and mom, there's nothing that's been more powerful in my own personal transformation than applying the tools and practices I teach to my own life.

These practices help me navigate daily challenges like stress and overwhelm, as well as some of the hardest moments I've ever experienced, including my dad's death. They also are how I've made career changes, stopped yelling, paid off debt, lost 40 pounds, moved across the country (twice), and continue to live into my future.

While there is no perfect way to navigate life, these practices and tools have made my life significantly better, happier, and more fulfilling.

In this episode you'll learn 15 specific practices I use to help make my life better as a professionally trained advanced life coach.

Who's To Blame?

When life throws a curve ball and there's a new challenge you're presented with, how do you handle it? If you're like me and most of my clients, the tendency is to look for someone to blame—blame towards someone else, blame towards the world, or blame towards yourself.

While, yes, it's true that people need to be held accountable for their actions, we often take this too far, looking for someone to take responsibility for our feelings. We blame other people and the world for how we feel. When we can separate out other people's actions from our feelings, we become empowered.

Sometimes, there's isn't someone to blame at all. It's just the way things go. Getting to a place of acceptance can be very powerful for working through challenges with in-laws, in marriage, and more.

In this episode, you'll learn the down side of blame and what to do instead so that you can feel better and work through hard times.
