Remember learning about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in Psychology 101? That pyramid showing how humans need basic survival stuff (food, shelter, safety) before they can focus on higher-level needs like self-actualization?

Yeah, well, nobody told us that becoming a mom would completely scramble that pyramid.

The Mom Reality Check

When I became a mother, my carefully constructed life felt like someone had taken a snow globe and shaken it violently. Everything I thought I knew about priorities, time management, and what mattered most got turned upside down.

The problem? Traditional productivity advice assumes you have a predictable schedule, clear boundaries, and the luxury of focusing on one thing at a time.

The reality? We're managing sick kids while on work calls, meal planning during naptime, and wondering if we brushed our teeth this morning.

When Everything Becomes Everything

Through 8 years of connecting with thousands of caregivers, I've noticed a pattern. The complexity of modern motherhood has created what I call "priority paralysis" - where everything feels urgent, important, and demanding our attention RIGHT NOW.

But here's what I've learned: When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.

The Three Boulder Framework

After studying how successful moms actually manage their lives (not how they think they should), I discovered that everything coils into three foundational areas:

🏠 HOME & FAMILY

Your physical and emotional sanctuary

• Creating systems that support your family's rhythm
• Managing the household without losing your mind
• Building traditions and memories that matter
• Maintaining relationships that fill your cup

💰 WEALTH & WORK

Your financial security and professional growth

• Generating income that supports your family's goals
• Building skills and expertise that evolve with you
• Creating systems for career advancement
• Establishing financial independence and security

🌱 HEALTH & WELLBEING

Your physical, mental, and emotional foundation

• Maintaining energy to show up for what matters
• Managing stress and preventing burnout
• Nurturing your identity beyond "mom"
• Creating space for growth and self-care

Why Three Boulders?

Think of these as the three foundational stones that everything else in your life rests on. When one boulder is unstable, everything else wobbles.

The magic happens when you realize: You don't have to excel in all three areas simultaneously. You just need to identify which boulder needs your attention most right now.

The Holistic Life Audit

The truth is, different seasons of life require different priorities. New mom? Your HOME boulder might need the most attention. Career transition? WEALTH might take center stage. Feeling burned out? WELLBEING becomes non-negotiable.

The key is being intentional about where you're investing your time and energy instead of trying to do everything at once.

Your Time Compass

When you understand your Three Boulder priorities, decision-making becomes simpler:

• Should I take this client project? (How does it serve my WEALTH boulder?)
• Is this family activity worth the stress? (How does it serve my HOME boulder?)
• Can I skip my workout today? (How does it serve my WELLBEING boulder?)

Every choice either strengthens or weakens one of your foundational boulders.

What's Your Current Reality?

Here's what I want you to consider: Which boulder is getting the most attention in your life right now? Which one is being neglected?

Most moms I work with are crushing it in one area while the other two are barely holding together. The goal isn't perfection - it's awareness and intentional action.
