126. Doing All The Things and Yet Frustrated That You're Not Seeing Results? The Key Ingredient Missing to Improving Your Emotional Health [Friday Pep Talk]
Welcome back to a Friday episode of Mommy's on a Call where I'm going to be doing a little bit of a pep talk or behind the scenes series of what's going on in my life or interesting things that I come across.
Ever feel like you're doing all the things you're supposed to be doing? You've learned all the tools and tactics. You've started implementing what you've read and learned, and yet, you aren't seeing the results you hoped for? You keep feeling like you've had setback after setback even when you are still moving forward? You're just down right FRUSTRATED!
Trust me, I have been there many times over and over, especially right now in my own business and health.
In today's episode I share a big "ah ha" moment I had during a health coaching session for myself. Something that I overlooked, but is the key ingredient to my emotional wellness (and probably others too).
