As women, we wear a thousand different hats. When we become moms or wives or both, we can lose our sense of self when adding on the continuous needs of others. This is what happened to Charlotte Avery, entrepreneur, speaker and founder of The Family Strategist. By learning how to blend instead of balance her life through strategic planning, and implementing systems in her home, she was able to ensure she made time for herself, which helped her reconnect with who she was. Using her #PhDinMotherhood, Charlotte teaches women how to do the same. Charlotte is an expert on everything from potty training to keeping things alive in the bedroom. Her work is designed to help women learn how to love themselves, strengthen their families and live authentically. During our chat we discussed how to schedule time for ourselves, how validation from others can be crippling, supporting ourselves with flexibility and more!       This episode is brought to you by KiwiCo, Ouai, Bombas and Waterdrop.   KiwiCo is redefining learning, with hands-on projects that build confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.
