And so, here is my message to you (and it goes well beyond the housework:) you, you beautiful, overachieving, inspirational, tired woman: you cannot be brilliant at everything all of the time. Here's how to make that happen and still feel ok:

1. Do less. Make a list of all the processes in your business or home life: what absolutely HAS to be done to ensure it keeps running? Do that (and no more).

I finished a coaching course recently, and was asked "and what is next for you Laura?"

And without thinking I replied with something like this:

"In this season of my life of nurturing and growing, I am going to continue to follow my intuition."

If you’re on more than one email list from creative coaches and mentors, you've heard everyone’s “top” advice.

A coach and mentor cannot do it for you, so invest when you're ready to put time in and make change.

And yes! That is my top piece of advice, too. I see this all the time with clients. 

But that “top” advice really isn’t helpful, now is it? You know that.

That’s why today I want to share with you my second best piece of advice.

Always have an (intuitive and holistic) plan.

Sometimes you just have to decide to decide. 

Let me expand: have you ever ummed and ahhed over a decision, pondering away until - ooh - it's the weekend, you'll think about it again on Monday?

Perhaps you've done copious research, you've listened to all the advice, you've read all the reviews, you've watched all the videos. 

But actually - you sometimes just need to decide to make a choice.

6 things I wanted to share with you…

I was writing some thoughts down earlier, and wanted to share them with you, albeit it in a more beautiful way than I'd originally scrawled, so here’s a love letter from me to you:

I am #busybeingabrilliantmum, creating a wonderful life for my children, keeping them alive (!), dreaming of a fabulous future for my family that I am making. I am helping my clients realise their dreams. I am making music with teenagers and helping them get excited about learning. I am learning every day. I am doing my best. I am more than enough.

I am totally confident in my choices – I still have to regularly assess what confidence means to me, and if I’m on the right path for me and my family, but that comes from a place of excitement and love, not fear and negativity. I know when I work with my clients that I help them get to that point, it’s why I love my job and love working with amazing women. Confidence in all that – it’s there in abundance.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own heads that we forget to simply be in the moment. But here's the deal: life is like a crazy, beautiful, messy painting, and if we're always stuck in our heads, we'll miss out on all those amazing brushstrokes.

In the hushed corners of our minds, the quiet voice beckons, urging us to dare, dream, and act upon our most profound desires. It reminds us that within our whispers of doubt, there are echoes of untapped potential and uncharted paths. Embracing this inner guidance is a journey towards self-discovery and a life lived authentically. So, dear reader, let the subtle notes of your inner voice be your compass, and may you embark on adventures that unfold the stories only you can write, for it is in listening to this hushed melody that we often find the courage to transform dreams into reality.
