For many, the journey towards parenthood can be a long and difficult road. This journey may be filled with negative pregnancy tests, the heartbreak of loss, the anxiety of fertility treatments, the pressure of picking the right donor, the trauma of a NICU stay, or the heaviness of postpartum depression and anxiety. The complexities of navigating parent life continue as your child grows and your family transitions not only with your child's age but sometimes through family transitions such a divorce, step-parenting, or adjusting to stay at home parenting.

Achieving goals becomes easier when they’re meaningful and connected to a reason and purpose — your “why.” When you connect your goal to a “why” a few things happen: You become hyper-focused on the goal by eliminating distractions or other tasks that are not in alignment with your desired outcome. Your vision and ideas become easier to outline, understand, and communicate because you’re intentionally focusing on the reason you want to do something and how it will impact you. It becomes easier to decide what you should and should not be doing because your priorities are connected to a purpose.
