11. 7 Steps to Reduce the Guilt & Tension and Find More Balance between Work & Home Life: Make an Impact While Also Putting Family First

Sister, do you feel torn between your family & work?

So many of us want to be able to give 100% both at home & in our work.

But often as working moms - especially in the military - we can feel weighed down by guilt, or feel conflicted & like we're falling short, no matter what we do.

Guilt in either putting our family first in a professional environment that expects us to always put the "mission first", or worrying we're not giving enough to our family & that they deserve more.

In the first couple years of being a mom in the military, I felt like in order to be successful in the Army, I'd have to neglect my family. And I wasn't going to accept that cost.

I didn't want my husband or children to get the leftovers of me.

Does this weigh heavily on your heart too?

How can you honor your priorities in the midst of your circumstances, even if you can't change those things?

Even if/when you feel forced to choose between the things that are most important to you? 

In this episode, this is what we're diving into.

I give you 7 tips on how to reduce the guilt and tension you're feeling when trying to balance work and home life.

I want to empower you with these steps to feel more peace and balance in your life, to show up as you desire to in each area - as a mom, as a wife, and in your work.

The Lord doesn’t want us to feel completely overwhelmed within our circumstances. He wants to give us the grac to do all that He calls us to, and to do it well, when we lean on Him.
