Episode Synopsis

As working parents with kids, work, and a life to take care of, there's "always something". What is a "normal" week anyway? It's probably one where everything went according to plan. But is that really realistic to expect? I would argue that "abnormal" weeks are the norm and the sooner we come to expect that, the easier it is to be flexible when plans change. In this episode, I'm sharing personal anecdotes and client stories to highlight the importance of flexibility, lowering expectations, and celebrating small wins to manage the unpredictable weeks, plus the phrase that I use instead of "it is what it is."     Key Takeaways:     00:00 My holiday recap   01:55 The Myth of a "normal" week   08:24 Embracing the unexpected   09:10 Celebrating wins and being flexible   11:33 Acknowledging how you feel so you can accept   13:09 Why abnormal weeks make so much sense     Resources + Links:     Episode 3: Creating a Monthly Wrap-up Process   Stress Less This Holiday workshop replay + workbook   Episode 12: Reclaiming Joy   Follow me on IG for a behind-the-scenes look at my working mom life   Fill out coaching application to learn more about working together     Let's Connect on Social:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themothernurture   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   Website: https://www.themothernurture.com/
