I just kept on keeping on, making things that seemed like they’d be fun to make and useful for other people to receive. This book will give women the permission and tools to change the way they approach their lives and allow them to embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine, cutting out the extraneous busyness from their lives so they have more satisfaction and joy, and letting themselves be more often instead of doing all the time. So many of us feel a constant sense of anxiety and dread, fearing that no matter how many hours we put in, we’re still not doing enough.She doesn’t check her phone obsessively or wonder if she should text him or not, even though he didn’t respond to her last text (or her last 10).

I love you, I love your work, and even when I saw the title, I could feel this knee jerk… Wait, what? Marie: I want to wrap this up with talking about what is hard for most of us, this gets a big hand raise from me: asking for help. As I practice, I’m finding that when I do less of what doesn’t matter, I have so much more time and energy for the things that really do matter.I should whatever and every single year, I would walk away from that conference feeling like I kind of sucked and I should have done more and then I got really clear on, like, wait a second, if I were to take the 30 thousand foot view and look at my life and look at my business, I’m freaking proud of what I’m doing and it just turns out that for the people who were doing that and focused on it, that was what mattered to them this year but if I’m really clear, being a top earner in my direct selling company is not close to the top of the list of things that matter to me and I actually am doing a beautiful job lining up my time with the things that matter to me and for three days of the year, I’m letting myself feel like I suck, then actually a hangover of a couple of months and so I stopped doing that and it has felt so much better ever since. Stay on your game and keep going for your dreams because the world really does need that special gift that only you have.

Well, three years of waiting (not necessarily patiently) later, I’m finally ready to invite you to join me for the next chapter.

Kate: Yeah, a book launch is really a time… I mean I remember my first book launch, I really had an asking hangover. For every mom who is trying to do it all without doing herself in, Kate has provided you with a trustworthy loving road map: do less!As I’m preparing my 2018 plan, seeing how many projects there are to develop and create and how much time and resources that will take, and how that contrasts to how I want to live my life…. I have some friends who are intersted to do it but they don’t understand english/american so I am going to do a private facebook group to translate all your wonderfull exercises. I inhaled this book because it illuminates a language about women and work that I've lived by without realizing it. I also signed up with an amazing nutritionist, Melissa Ramos, as my health is not where it needs to be for me to be at my peak to be of service. And then three and I love, this is so practical, if you can, limit the time that you spend with them, right?
