Show Notes: How do Moms Get Enough Sleep
Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #109 of The Secrets of Supermom Show!
When someone says work-life balance do you sort of want to laugh? Do you believe it is simply not possible with the load you carry?
I see you.
You are spending late nights and early mornings just trying to catch up.
Your to-do list feels like it gets longer by the minute.
You have your laptop with you wherever you go.
You constantly feel exhausted and drained even after the occasional good night’s sleep–if you can even squeeze in one.
You feel under pressure every day, even when you “should” be relaxing.
What if I told you there was a better way?
What if I told you that you didn’t have to choose home over work or trade one for the other?
What if there was a completely different way you could look at work-life balance that actually worked?
If you found yourself nodding along, I personally invite you to register for my free workshop where I unlock the secrets to help you achieve real work-life balance even as a crazy busy, seriously ambitious mom.
I can’t wait to show you what it’s like to have more time, less stress, and boundaries you can count on. Head to secretsofsupermom.com/balance for all the details!
How do you make sure you are not walking around like a zombie everyday? How do moms get enough sleep? How do you stop yourself from giving up sleep to get more done? And when you actually decide that sleep is important, how do you keep your mind from racing when you finally do lay down?
Our guest today is Onnie Michalsky, mom of six and a licensed therapist who understands the challenges of being a woman in today’s world. She’s also a life and wellness coach, and she’s on a mission to help moms escape the do-it-all mentality and find their way back to themselves. Through the Moms Without Capes movement, Onnie is empowering women to slow down, recognize their worth, and break through limiting beliefs so that they can find their power and become the best versions of themselves.
As a fun bonus, I joined Onnie on her show the Moms Without Capes Podcast. You can check it out HERE!
