Podcast Episode 269: Don’t Plan Alone: 4 Tips to Not Lose Your Cool or Get a Killer Migraine
Ever feel like you’re trapped in an endless loop where you’re responsible for planning everything?
From organizing school events to planning family vacations, it’s like you’ve become the CEO of your household, and the job is 24/7. But you shouldn’t have to plan it all alone.
First off, let’s acknowledge the obvious: moms are rockstars. But somehow, this rockstar status often comes with the unspoken expectation that you’re in charge of everything. Why?
Well, traditionally, moms have been the primary caregivers and organizers of the household. While times are changing, old habits die hard. Not to mention that many of us have a little (or a lot) of a control freak inside. We want things done a certain way (aka the right way—our way). And, of course, moms often handle the “invisible” tasks—remembering appointments, buying birthday presents, planning meals. It’s all in our heads, making it hard for others to pitch in.
So if you’ve found yourself in the role of the planner-in-chief, you might want to check out this podcast episode as we’re about to break down how we got here, how to plan like a boss, and why delegation is your new best friend. Grab your favorite drink and let’s dive in!
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- Why so many Moms feel like they are literally in charge of everything and how we got there
- How to plan like a boss and methods for dealing with the inevitable stress that accompanies planning
