Mama Sofia's first roller coaster
|
Hey Reader, Last week, Courtney and I took Jagger to Disneyland for his second birthday. It was Spring Break, which meant it was incredibly hot and shoulder-to-shoulder crowded. We brought Mama Sofia with us, and it was her first time going in over 35 years! At one point, we were on the shaky ropes course in California Adventure. My mom was scared. And for the first time in my life, she grabbed my hand and held on tight. It was beautiful. I even bribed her to get on the Incredicoaster later. She screamed, loved it, and then complained that the wait was longer than the ride! As a mom, you're probably the "Chief Everything Officer" for your family. You make the plans, pack the snacks, and make sure everyone else is having a magical day. But how often do you put yourself last on the to-do list? I see so many amazing women stuck in "Mom-Bot" mode. You're paying a heavy Exhaustion Tax, running on the scraps of your own energy. By the time the family finally makes it to the theme park, you're relegated to the role of "Official Bag Holder" at the bottom of the ride. You aren't making memories, you're just guarding backpacks in the Spring Break heat because your body feels too rusted and exhausted to climb in. It doesn't have to be that way... Most people think the answer is just "powering through," but even the strongest engines fail without a cooling system. You don’t need more work; you need an internal system that supports you so you don't end up drowning in the "kiddie pool" of daily chores and errands. I’ve put together a framework called The Ironman’s Guide to Not Drowning. It’s designed to help you build resilience and stop "redlining" your own engine, giving you your "Breathing Room" back. If you're ready to get off the sidelines and back on the ride, [click here and I’ll send it to you]. When your internal system is strong, you get to be the architect of your life, not just the manager of everyone else's crises.
PS: I think I screamed louder than Mama Sofia on the Incredicoaster. Don't tell the guys at the gym, or they'll revoke my NASM Master Trainer certification! If you want my 3 "Biological Safety Buoys" for your busiest weeks, [click here and I'll send it to you]. |
