Description

Blogger and mom of littles Ashley Conway joins us for a look at how to gracefully back out of commitments, how to weigh whether a commitment is good for you in the first place, and how to decipher most urgent versus most important tasks when pursuing entrepreneurship.

What you’ll hear:

• What we Moms do in order to record podcasts, and shout-outs to the Boss Dads that help make it possible.
• The difference between a busy and a fruitful life.
• How to start a day well and also flex to accommodate the needs of children.
• Tips for new bloggers: setting priority and pace
• “Moms can’t always say, ‘I’m sticking to this schedule.’ It doesn’t work that way.”
• How we women walk around with a lot of “shoulds” - most of them are self-imposed.
• Ashley walks us through the 6 steps to backing out of commitments gracefully.
• The difference between task-oriented and relational personalities, and how this affects our perspective and communication.
• The importance of sincere apologies.
• Why setting boundaries when making a commitment aids with understanding for everyone later. 

“Rabbit Trails” of note:
