Episode 33 - Get clear on your priorities, values and needs for a calmer motherhood with Rachelle Glendon

Does your schedule reflect your priorities? 

Do you know your values? 

Are you clear on your emotions? What about your needs? 

Life can get busy as a mom. Our time can easily get eaten up. We can get disconnected from our own feelings. We can forget about our own needs as we tend to our children’s. 

But reconnecting with these are foundational to creating and sustaining a motherhood in which you thrive. 

In this episode, the microphone has been turned around today and I am interviewed by slow living coach Rachella Glendon. We chat about how critical it is for moms to identify our priorities, values and needs for a more enjoyable motherhood. 

“Values are not goals. You can live a fulfilling life by living your values and not just ticking off to-do’s”

Rachelle and I chat about: 

• My struggle in early motherhood 

• A critical difference between values and goals 

• Why knowing what we are feeling is essential and what our emotions can tell us 

• How to identify your unmet needs and find ways to meet these 
• Using our values and priorities for more intentional decision making 

Rachelle Glendon is a wife, mother and certified life coach as well as host of How To Live Slow, a podcast for modern women who wish to ditch hustle culture, slow down and reconnect to their natural rhythms. Her focus is on matrescence (the transformation of motherhood), midlife transitions, slow and seasonal living and self-leadership, the overarching theme of which is change and transitions. She believes that when we slow down, rest and take care of ourselves, we will see that it's been the answer to many of our world’s problems all along. 

Listen in as we gently guide you to reconnect with what will support you through your motherhood journey.
