• Constant failed attempts at getting your life on track are making you feel hopeless.

• You’re tired of people telling you to “count your blessings.”

• The world says we should be thriving, when you just want to take the first step toward healing.

• Everyone else seems to be moving forward but you.

• The day to day stuff continues to pile up.

• You’re missing the accountability, community and systems to make the changes you know you need.

If you feel overwhelmed by self help courses and underwhelmed by the promises self-care is supposed to bring, this challenge is for you!

In this challenge (in addition to accountability and community) you will be walked through one easy to use tool each week. By utilizing these tools, you will begin to design a life where motherhood is no longer the whole story, but rather, just a piece of who you are. 

Over our five weeks together you will learn how to:

• Identify and empower your natural strengths and values.

• Notice and plan for triggers that catch you off guard and slow down the life that you’re trying to achieve. (These include things like bedtime, child tantrums, nonstop requests, etc resulting in anger, resentment, distain, and overwhelm.)

• Distinguish between wants and needs and learn to plan for what will help you get through the days/weeks… no matter what comes at you.

• Communicate what you need to those that can help you, including members of this community, spouses, family, etc.!

• Use these systems to do the things that you ACTUALLY want to accomplish in your life!

You might be asking “Can I REALLY afford the time and money it’ll take to do this when I’ve already got so many responsibilities I feel like I’m failing at?”

Believe me, I get it. So what are you risking if you didn’t? Hear me out…

I remember being pregnant with our second when my husband decided that he wanted to do some crazy “self help” course - which costed about 4X the amount of this one. I just remember being incredibly frustrated with him, wishing that I could see enough worth in myself to pay that kind of money. When he asked if I would do it too, I remember telling him yes… not because I wanted to, but just so we would get our money’s worth!

Deep down I knew this was something that I needed, because without some sort of help, I would continue to be stuck in a place of not living up to any of the potential I knew that I had. Getting through Postpartum Depression left me feeling incapable. Sure enough, a couple months went by and I started slipping up. I couldn’t keep up with the program. We both ended up abandoning it before the last of the 8 weeks, and in that moment I felt like a failure. Here we had wasted all of this money that we felt like we didn’t have. We had spent time trying to improve ourselves, only to end up quitting before it was done. Another false start and feeling like a failure.

As the weeks went on, I started to notice changes. I was thinking about things differently. I was thinking about myself differently. I signed up for an illustration class just for me that cost nearly as much as our self help course. I didn’t know it at the time, but I had taken the first step toward taking myself seriously.

Since then, he and I both have invested so much more time and money into ourselves, and with each of those investments, we’ve started to see how much we’re really worth and how much we really have to offer. I now make dedicated time to draw, have taken numerous online courses, collaborated with artists like Nicole Sloan from Drawings By Nicole, Psychologist Jessica Zucker from @IHadaMiscarriage, Ph.D. & Psychiatrist Pooja Lakshmin MD, and Jen Schwartz from @MotherhoodUnderstood. I Illustrated my first book, “I Love My Happy Mama” with author Blake Nolan, and had my drawings featured in Netflix Family, Bored Panda, and HuffPost. None of these things would have happened if I didn’t take the first step toward learning to see my worth.

I want the same for you. You won’t do it all perfect, but I guarantee that if you add these small tools to your life, you’ll see the first steps toward living that are worth more than you ever imagined… and if you add these to your life but don’t feel that way at the end of the 5 weeks, I’ll gladly refund your money. No questions asked. I believe in this and you that much.

This isn’t about money and time, this about learning that YOU are worth it.
