181. September Reset For Working Moms: 5 Min Journal Prompts To Stop Waiting For Perfect Timing

September energy hits different, doesn't it? While everyone's making January resolutions, you're over here actually ready to change things. New routines, boundaries you've been avoiding, that business idea collecting dust - all because you keep telling yourself "when things calm down."

Plot twist: They never do. 😂

Perfect for working moms who are: Tired of waiting for permission, ready to disappoint a few people to save themselves, done putting their dreams on layaway.

Your 4 Strategic Journaling Prompts:

  1. What have you been telling yourself you'll get to once things calm down?
  2. Pick the biggest one - if you actually did this, the worst thing that could happen is...
  3. What's the real fear underneath it all?
  4. I give myself permission to _____ even if it means _____

Take action: Save this episode, grab a coffee, and work through these prompts. Then watch how different September feels when you stop waiting for perfect timing.
