HOME + WORK BALANCE ISN’T REALLY POSSIBLE. HERE’S WHAT TO DO INSTEAD.

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: CENTERED VISION

Have you ever watched The Home Edit on Netflix?


If you love a good home makeover + celebrity houses this show is for you.


These two adorable humans go into celebrity’s houses like Reese Witherspoon, Khloe Kardashian, and Eva Longoria and turn their overloaded closets, kitchens, playrooms into organized, rainbow-ordered works of art.


And every episode it seems like there’s too much stuff in there with no possible way it will ever get or stay organized. And every episode they tell their clients to stop panicking and trust the process because, “It’s a system!”


It matters what containers you use. It matters what order things go in. It matters where you put them. It’s all part of a system that is strategic and sustainable.


Otherwise, once the team has left the celeb’s house, it will all go to crap again 6 weeks later.


We actually need systems like that in motherhood too.


But not one that just looks really pretty and only works when everything in your life is lined up perfectly and gone according to plan.


You need one that bends and is flexible with a life that’s lived in.


You need a sustainable system for success at both home AND work. Balance is not really a thing that’s possible. Or anything you actually want.


Because if things were actually balanced between home and work, that means you’re giving equal attention and energy to your job and your family. But what happens when you have a huge work project where you have to pull an all-nighter. Does that mean you have to stay up the next night doing something of equal “value” for your fam?


All in the name of balance?


No one would do that.


Plus a work/life balance leaves ZERO space for you. And we all know ushers in burnout and overwhelm.


Instead, you need a framework that lets you integrate your work-life, your home-life, and your YOU-life all together. 


Enter the Modern Mamas Club.


We are a community of mamas looking to THRIVE in motherhood. At home AND at work. This is a space where moms of all kinds can share their challenges, successes, feelings and thoughts.
