Hi Mamas,

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in a cycle of doing more without feeling fulfilled—this episode is for you.

In today’s Monday Mindset, Kerri breaks down the quote: “You don’t have to do more. You have to decide what matters.”

This powerful mindset shift—rooted in the work of Greg McKeown and his book Essentialism—was a turning point in Kerri’s own journey and a major influence behind the creation of the Mom. Wife. Career. Life. podcast.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why doing more isn’t the solution to feeling balanced
• How overwhelm often comes from unclear priorities—not lack of effort
• Why deciding what matters is the foundation of intentional living
• A simple weekly challenge to help you realign your time and energy

Kerri also invites you to come back tomorrow for a powerful interview with goal-planning coach Danielle McHugh, host of the Plan Goal Plan podcast, where they dive deeper into alignment, seasons of life, and planning in a way that supports working moms.

 

This Week’s Challenge:

Write down three things that truly matter most in this season of your life. Then ask yourself: 👉 Does the way I’m spending my time reflect these priorities?

No guilt. No judgment. Just awareness.
