As a working mom, finding time for yourself can feel impossible. Between juggling work, family, and a never-ending to-do list, your own health often ends up last on the priority list. If you’re feeling drained, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost touch with what you need, you’re not alone. But what if I told you that in just four weeks, you could start feeling more energized, in control, and confident in your wellness habits—without guilt or overwhelm?
That’s exactly what The Busy Mom Reset is designed to do. This four-week program helps you shift your mindset so that you are ready to start making realistic and sustainable changes that will improve your health and increase your energy.
Week One: Prioritizing Yourself Without Guilt
The biggest barrier to self-care? Guilt. So many moms feel selfish for taking time to focus on their health, but here’s the truth: Prioritizing yourself makes you a better parent, partner, and professional.
This week, we focus on small mindset shifts that help you let go of guilt and make space for wellness. Try a simple gratitude practice—jot down three things you’re grateful for and three small ways you took care of yourself each day. Research shows that gratitude can boost overall well-being by up to 30%!
Reframing self-care as something that benefits everyone in your life makes it easier to commit to.
Week Two: Learning to Set Boundaries
Setting boundaries isn’t about being selfish—it’s about protecting the time and energy you need to show up fully in your life. Without clear boundaries, your own needs tend to fall to the bottom of the list. The truth is, your wellness matters just as much as everyone else’s. When you carve out time for yourself, you're better equipped to care for others.
Boundaries are a form of self-respect. They allow you to say “yes” to rest, movement, and emotional space—without guilt. Whether it’s blocking time on your calendar for a walk, saying no to another commitment, or asking for help with the evening routine, these small but powerful shifts create room for meaningful self-care. And that’s not only good for you—it benefits everyone around you.

Week Three: Starting Small
Big changes don’t happen overnight—and they don’t have to. Starting small is one of the most effective ways to build lasting habits that support your wellness. When you try to overhaul everything at once, it’s easy to burn out or get discouraged. But tiny shifts—like drinking one extra glass of water, taking a 10-minute walk, or pausing to breathe before a meal—can create real momentum.
Too often, we try to make big changes in our lives and find that they aren't sustainable. And when we try to make unrealistic changes, we feel like we failed or broke a promise to ourselves. That kind of guilt leads to feeling like we aren't able to change. But making change is about doing what you can, consistently, and letting that be enough.
Week Four: Putting It All Together
By now, you’ve made meaningful shifts in your mindset and it's time for the next step - Making a plan for the changes you're ready to make.
We’ll create a flexible wellness plan that works for you—one that allows for real life, not perfection. You'll be ready to tackle things like emotional eating, ditching the diet mentality, improving your sleep habits or getting more movement into your week.
The goal isn’t to do everything perfectly—it’s to begin to create habits that support you in feeling your best.
Moving Forward with Confidence
The Busy Mom Reset is designed to help you take control of your health in a way that actually fits your life. These four weeks are just the beginning—the habits you build now will set you up for long-term success.
And you don’t have to do it alone! Whether you continue with the next steps in the Reset program for accountability or want 1:1 coaching for more support, I’m here to help.
