The massive shift
I stopped dividing my brain between mom mode & work mode and operated in a broader problem-solving mode.
I am a Director at a major Fortune 500 company, with 15 years of experience as an internal consultant. I am really good at looking at a complex problem, demystifying it, and creating a simple solution to fix the root cause.
At home, I do the exact same thing.
I build systems.
And by systems I do not mean complex, overwhelming machines.
I look at systems as consistent answers to challenges we face on a regular basis.
These systems became the basis of our family playbooks.
The best teams I’ve worked on are the ones where each member had clarity on what they needed to get done, how to get those things done efficiently, and what they could count on each other for. Like plays during a football game.
When we started to do the same thing at home, the chaos started to fade. The days were calmer. The mental load started to ease up. We had more capacity to actually think, create, and connect. These playbooks genuinely changed my life.
And this is what I want for you – to feel a massive shift when you learn to build “plays” or systems that your entire family can follow. These systems will carry you through daily life, freeing up your time & mental bandwidth to actually enjoy this phase of life.
