How to Stop Your Calendar From Running Your Life - a More for Mom Summit Series

As moms, it often feels like our lives are run by a calendar that isn't our own filled with appointments, school events, and endless to-dos. 

As the holidays get closer, that feeling can intensify, leaving us feeling drained and resentful. But what if there was a way to bring joy and intention back into our schedules? 

This week on the podcast, we’re talking with the wonderfully insightful Kenya Patterson, a content creator and mentor who helps women put the “fun and functional” back into planning.

Kenya wasn't always a master of calm. She shares her journey from being an overwhelmed, full-time grad student and new wife who felt she was all work and no play. 

It was in her search for a creative outlet that she rediscovered her passion for planning not as a chore, but as a form of self-care and expression. 

This powerful shift didn’t just change her schedule; it changed her life, leading her down a new path as an entrepreneur who empowers other women to do the same.

In our conversation, Kenya shares the single most effective tool she uses to combat overwhelm…

She explains the science behind why what she shares releases the burden we carry in our minds and activates our brain’s natural problem-solving abilities. 

This episode is a must-listen for any mom who is ready to stop being run by her calendar and start being the boss of it.

TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):

• The Power of a Brain Dump: The simple, science-backed act of writing everything down on paper can release mental weight and trigger your brain to start finding solutions.
  
  

• Finding Purpose in Play: How embracing a creative outlet or hobby can restore your energy, reduce stress, and even lead you to an unexpected passion.
  
  

• It's All Possible: Kenya’s core message is that you can achieve your goals and build a life that feels good. It starts with writing the vision and making it plain.
  
  

• Showing Up for Yourself: Rediscovering what makes you feel good physically and emotionally is key to showing up as your best self in all areas of your life.

What is one task, worry, or idea you're holding in your mind right now that you could release by writing it down on a piece of paper?

Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this.
