Micro Steps, Not Macro Moments: Strategies for Working Moms
If you’re passionate about your business – and about being a great mom – chances are you’re facing a complicated and emotional struggle. The all or nothing mindset, “If I just do the right things at the right time, my kids will turn out all right and I’ll thrive in my business,” leaves parents feeling exhausted, confused, and fearful.
In this workshop, Mary teaches you the value of the moment when it comes to children: it's a small part ‘getting it right’ and a huge part connecting and understanding your children [read: better behavior]. We'll explore how to parent with confidence using simple brain science and easy-to-implement tools. With this in hand, you’ll be better able to succeed at work – while being the mother you want at home.

Decision Fatigue Is Stealing Your Dreams and Costing You Millions
Decision Fatigue is a real thing… especially for passionate extraordinary women like you, living in the fast lane and taking care of everyone except yourself!! When you have too many decisions to make, your brain will start preferring the status quo. You are too tired to be creative in your choices. Before you realize it, fast food finds its way into your body and that proposal, or call, can wait until tomorrow.
If this sounds like something that might be happening in your life right now and there's no way out, then I'm sorry but all hope isn't lost!
The solution for decision fatigue can actually come from two places: prevention through self-care; and relief by creating an environment where people everything you need to support you is in place.
This is where the magic begins.
