suite. I am doing really well. Thank you so much. I'm listening to

you read that. I'm going like, Oh, really? I love

it. always like that Yes.

But It always sounds so

great. thank you

so much. I'm happy to be here. I'm really happy to have this conversation with

you. I think it's really needed and yeah, let's get into

it. Yes, I'm so excited. So before we get into all the course

creation stuff, let's talk a little bit more about you, your

business specifically, um, how you help people create their

courses and also just more about who you are as a person. Let us

know. Absolutely. So as you heard there, I'm not going to recap

the whole bio, but yes, I started in the online space since 2017.

And you know, when I started at that time, to be fair, there weren't a

lot of people doing coaching and courses, I remember.

I'm a military partner, so my husband's military, um, with the

British forces. And I was in, so we lived in Germany and

we then moved to Cyprus. And so this was in 2017 when

I was working a 9 to 5 in Cyprus that I came

across the idea of coaching and courses in the online space and I had

so much free time. My husband is like one of these type A's, just always

working, always out and I always had free time. I didn't have kids at the

time. And so I started blogging and at the time

I, I just heard God say, you know, so one day I read treasures, my

relationship with God and hearing from him. And one time I was like praying and

asking God like I have so much free time I need to you know Like

we could be in one of those states where you want to be more productive

and do stuff So I used to do baking I used to do all of

these things And God said to me You know, I have a degree, I

have a degree in international tourism management. I also was a travel

agent and, um, I travel quite a lot. And regardless,

like, use what you already have. Like, you don't have to go out there and

do anything different. You can use whatever you have. So I started blogging. I remember

getting that paid, um, opportunity to be published in the

Condé Nast. So, you know, I started out really good, you know,

talking travel and just really helping women to be more confident with their

travels and traveling on a budget and all of that. So when I

transited into coaching, because when I saw this thing online about you actually

helping other women, I was like, I want to do that. I really want to

do that. I had such a desire to do that. And so my first business

coach helped me to package data games. I became a travel life coach to

begin with. So I was helping women, coaching them through travel, and I loved

every minute of it. Right, but then I became a mom and that's a

whole different transition, you know in 2000 2019 I

gave birth to my daughter and it was a journey in faith because we know

we were trying for a long time There's a bit of I don't want to

say fertility issues But it was a long delay and I was really trusting god

and my partner and I were really trusting god for this child and You know

when it did come when we did get pregnant and stuff Then I had these

huge fears around childbirth and I was so worried about giving

birth I think a lot of first time moms go through that and i'm all

about the natural I know I don't like I don't like surgeries and all of

these things. And I remember praying and the way I came across this

technique called hypnobirthing, it was truly God. It's like a friend mentioned it

to me before I was pregnant and I moved to the UK and then the

midwife mentioned it again without knowing I knew anything about

hypnobirthing. God, this is a sign from you. So I did the hip

deberthing program and I gave birth within my daughter within three

hours naturally. And I was like, God, that was the most miraculous thing that ever

happened to me. I was so amazed with it. And it was so fast forward.

I then became a practitioner. I hit the button practitioner from there. And

then obviously as I was doing that, I felt called to just really go

back to that life coaching aspect. And then I've done

businesses related to my unique gifts and talents. And so that's how I've

come to become a business coach and where I help now with course

creations. I love

that story. And you know, I always like hearing people's journey because

it's never linear, right? It's always a bunch of different

experiences, whether it's up or down, but they all.

work together to get you to where you are now. And I love that you

said, you know, when you asked God what you should be doing, he said,

use what you have. Right. And I think a lot of times we just try

to get another certification or, join a course

or try to go back to school, whatever it is we're trying to do, or

give, give ourselves excuses or reasons for not

starting. But we literally have all that we

need to start, right? You might need something else as you go

along, but you have all you need in your hands right now to start.

so I love that you said that. Now you started talking about your

daughter and you had your first child in 2019. And

I know you have a second one now. So

your motherhood journey, um, are you

loving right now in this season of motherhood? Oh my goodness. You

know, from even before I got pregnant, I always knew that I want

to be a stay at home mom and I want to be present for my

children. And that's one of the desire for me. for a long time. And as

you mentioned, I, we are blessed with a little boy. He's going

on three months. He is the sweetest little thing. And the thing is with

this one as well, with this birth, it's, this is the thing. God just blows

all mine sometime. Like I didn't have the lovely experience in the

sense of hitting the birth in with him, which I really tried to do, but

he was breached. And so we ended up having to do a C section. And

I was so worried about that C section, but I just, went back again to

faith, like just kept trusting God. And even though we did the C section, it

was nothing as expected. It was so seamless. It was so easy. And

I kind of just heard God say like, you know, sometimes we just need to

have the different experiences, not always going to be the way that we want it

to. But it's always going to be the way that he wants it to, you

know? And so as a mother, I really just value being there for

my kids. I said to people like, you know, sometimes you could, as moms, especially

I have a five year old and she's such an energizer for me and everything,

mommy, mommy, mommy this, mommy that, you know, sometimes I go like. If I hear

mommy one more time, but I love it so much. I love it. The

fact that she comes to me and she needs my help and she needs me.

I'm a little boy. Now is in the stage that when I walk into the

room with his dad, he just lights up and he just wasn't to laugh when

he sees me. And it's just these little moments. I just love being present for

them. Because I realized that time goes by so fast and I'm going to be

looking back and going like, Oh, I don't want to be in that state where

they're young and I'm rushing it. You know what I mean? I said to her

friend, I don't want to be rushing this stage. And I'm looking back and going,

If I could be there when they were five and two and just be present,

you know, so it's just that I just love it Yeah,

I resonate with that a lot. And I think a lot of people listening as

well, just having the privilege, um, to be able

to be in a position to be present with your children. Sometimes

people, their circumstances may not allow that, and it may be a desire for

them, but to have the desire and also the privilege. Through

entrepreneurship to be able to do that. It's definitely something

that, you know, I resonate with and just don't take

lightly at all because like you said, they grow up so fast and it is

challenging because my two they're home with me. I have a 3 year old. Well,

she'll be 3 next month. Um. She's three and I have an eight month old

Oh, wow Love

it so I get it, you know, she's very active

now and the little ones, he's starting to crawl everywhere and go up the steps

and it can be a lot, but like you said, you, you're always

reminded like this time goes by fast and just being

able to be there with them and not miss out on these moments. It

is such a blessing. So I definitely, And not only that I want to add

to that like being present doesn't just mean like actually physically being there It's being

mentally present right and that's exactly why I started with the

Courses with passive income, and we're going to that, of course, because the thing is,

even as entrepreneurs as humans, right? We are with our kids, but we're

thinking, Oh, I need to do this. I need to do that. And so I,

when I'm like in that moment where I'm thinking I have a long list of

to do list, I'm like, no, I want to be present right here in

this moment. Acknowledging that they're here and being

involved and not let my mind go wandering. So that is super important

as well. yes, that's, I'm glad you made

that, that distinction there, because like you say, you can

be there physically, but not totally be there, or you can be there and trying

to get work done and they're just kind of around and don't have your

attention is one of the reasons why I literally just stopped

trying to do work while they were around. Because. It was just causing

too much frustration. And then they were also not getting the attention that they

needed. So, I'm glad you pointed that out. But since you started

mentioning the course creation, let's, let's get into that now.

what have been some of the biggest mistakes that you've seen

when people are actually trying to create their courses?

Yeah. So firstly, even before we got to, we get to that, like when

I created my first course, I remember that I had that desire from

since 2017. I had that desire to create a course, but

just starting out, I, you know, I think I get in my, got into my

head. Like, I think a lot of us moms at the time I wasn't a

mom, but a lot of us people, women, we go through this, right? I don't

even know where to start. Start I feel so overwhelmed. You don't know how to

even get started to do what to do, what to do. Right. And so

this was just after the pandemic. I remember God putting it in my heart

again. I think this was 2022, if I'm correct, um, create a

course. And I was like, I don't know, like, what am I going to

create a course on, you know, at the time my daughter would have been probably

two or three, she was start just in nursery, I think for three hours,

two days, she was doing Tuesdays Three hours. in the U. S.

um, child care is expensive as here, but she was just doing half

days, you know, so I only had like three hours in

for two days, you know, and so I

remember, and then God said to me, you know, you've learned to hear from me,

connect with me, really just have that deeper relationship, because I really

did go through a transition where I've had a spiritual growth during the pandemic, you

know, and I just started to hear God so much clearly in my business,

and literally with In that same three hours when my daughter was at

school, I created my very first course. Like everything just

downloaded to me while I was spending with God. And I just created the course

with it. So you could say like within the week I was, it was created

and it was selling. And I was like, God, this is amazing, you know?

So just to go back to that question is like, where do you get started?

I think again, going back to it is. What do you have? What do

you know? What is it that people ask you about? What is it you can't

you're confident about? What is it that knowledge that you have experienced for yourself or

you've done a research for yourself? And now you can then teach somebody

else with that. That is where I would say you get started.

Yeah. And, um, just kind of going back to what you mentioned,

You created your course in a week? Yes

A week. Okay. Now, one of the

things that I do know is that people, some people are gifted

for certain things, right? And they have the, what's the word that I'm looking

for? The grace.

Okay, is. People are Yes, and

so I think with you, like your grace to be able to

do this quickly because somebody else might struggle with, like you

mentioned, uh, where do I start? What do I talk about? And it may take

months, right? Cause I've even had experiences where it's like, I have an idea, but

it was taking me forever to, just even map the thing out. but if you're

able to do it in a week, then that just goes to show like, okay,

this is not something that you're trying to do, but you have the expertise and

it's something that you're also graced for to be able to lead other people,

with that grace to see, some similar results to what you've had. So

I wanted to point that piece out because I know you help people create their

courses in what, six weeks, is it six weeks or six weeks or

less? we go less anyone obviously I did one I did my day one

week so I don't ever say you can't do it You know, it's just a

matter of as I said before just getting I'm just getting clay when

you get clear and I teach this Um very much in

my programs and I think I just a YouTube video on this actually where I

was sharing with you You need to get clear on who you're serving,

um, what you're serving them, as in what problem you're going to be

solving for them, and the how, which is your process or the

information that you're giving, you know. Once you're clear on those three things, like

that is going to propel you to create your course, because I feel like when

we're just starting, we are so hooked up on websites and what

platform and all of these things. And to be fair, those things come like

literally last because your content is what is most important. So

once you get, and that's why I said, um, you know, I really connected with

God because that's one of the things that I teach too is just because God

is going to give you clarity. The Lord is going to download to you and

let you see things that you probably weren't blinded to before, or

you will feel overwhelmed around. And once you spend that time with God and put

intentionally about your business or your course, God is so

faithful. He will show you, you know? And so once you get clear on those

things, like that's it, that's all you need. And then it's just a matter of,

as you said, like probably using my expertise to then help you to set it

up quicker. And you know, you don't have to be faffing around with

whatever platform, trying to figure it out on your own. Yes. That's

so good. Now I'm curious, since you work with women and especially moms,

do you find that something that hinders them from kind of getting

started is this whole idea of imposter syndrome

or like, who am I to be doing this course or anything

related to that? And how do you kind of address that when you're working

with them? Absolutely. Like I always say the scripture

and you know, as I'm speaking to you, I may be misquoting it, but you

know, the scripture says that I am not giving you a spirit of fear, but

of power and of love and of a sound mind. I always say that to

everybody because the thing is, especially as women,

Mothers, we have so much to give. The enemy is

scared of us because we, you know, we doubt ourselves so

much. Like so many of us have gone through so many experiences. How many of

us have degrees? How many of us have like, you know, experience in the workplace

for how many years people come to us, ask us to train us all of

these things we have, but yet we don't want to say we are an expert

because expert sounds too big, but we literally, we are experts in

our fields. We know what we know, but yet we doubt ourselves so much.

so much. So one of the things I really teach you is to get into

who you are, know how God sees you and

start to see yourself. And this is a transition for myself as well, because

I constantly, I think as humans, we do that, especially women. We

constantly doubt what we do. We constantly doubt who God has said that

we are because we're not seeing it. seeing that right now, but we have to

start to see ourselves through God's eyes. And I use scripture and I used

affirmations and all of these things to remind us and drill it

into the subconscious mind that this is who God says that you are. You know,

this is so important. This is like a whole reframing of the mind. And this

goes back to, I think it's Romans 12 and 12. Don't quote me, but it

does say like, um, you need to renew your mind, right?

Don't confirm to the world, but renew your mind. And that's very, very

important when it comes to imposter syndrome. That's so good.

So good. Um, okay. So, They've gotten past the

imposter syndrome. They, they know who they're serving. Is

there anything else that they need to have in place prior

to starting to create their course? No, to

be fair, if you're clear on those three things, because if,

for example, you know who you're serving, so let's say, let's just break it down.

You know who. It's your target audience and target students, right?

So because you know who that person is, you're going to know, of course, their

problems, the stuff that they're going through. So therefore you're going to be able to

speak into that because you know, right? So like you, you're reading, you're reading

from a book when it comes to them, right? When you think about the, what

is like, what the problem that they have that, you know, you can solve with

your skills and your, you know, your experiences or whatever that may be.

So then again, you are also familiar with the problem and you're also familiar with

the solutions. So that's gonna be really perfect for you to speak into

that and really connect with those people going through that problem. And then going back

to the how, which is your process. So, for example, you may have had

some particular steps that you took that you were able to create that solution for

yourself, whatever that may be. So then you are then showing that same

people that you know what you're talking about, like you have done those steps. And

if they do that exact step, they're going to get that results as well. So

once you tackle that, you get that clarity and you brainstorm around and get clear

on that. And then you deal with the feedback. Fair and imposter syndrome. Nothing can

stop you. You are on the path. You know, it's just a matter of just

choosing a platform. And I always say, choose one that is easy for

you and one that's not gonna hinder you. Because I think sometimes we wanna go

into this elaborate stuff, like we could be so simple. And this is

why I teach Thinking fake and male life, because as you, I shared

with you, and that's how I did mine in a week. Like I didn't overthink

it. And literally that these platforms are so easy. And one of

the things that I have introduced as well in my business is I'm done for

you service because I understand that as moms, we don't necessarily have the

time to sit down and do all of that. Right. Even though I do teach

you. So instead of you like trying to. figure it out on your own,

I will take you through the steps. But if, for example, you don't have the

time, I literally can do it for you because I've done it so many times.

I literally have no issues with doing it in probably a week or less,

right? So that's just the most important things to get your course going. And then,

of course, it's the selling aspect, which is about showing up and the imposter

syndrome. Again, tackling that is going to make things so much easier

for you because you're going to show up confident with self belief about

what you're talking about, and then that kind of takes care of itself.

That's so good. And I love how simple you are making the

process, right? Not just over complicating

it and giving all of these things. It's just very simple

I want to focus in on the process that you said they need to have

a process. Like, how are you getting your, potential clients from

point A to point B. So, in terms of if somebody

doesn't have a process, right? Or maybe they just don't know what it

is, or they haven't quite. Mapped it out themselves.

do you have any suggestions or tips for how somebody can kind of

create their framework or their process for their

course? Well particularly because obviously everybody's situation

is different and to be fair course does not necessarily have to

Um, I say solve a problem because it does need to solve a problem But

it doesn't have to be like an end result when I say this I mean

like for example, it could be a course on just giving people

Information that is targeted to what they want right instead of like

a transformation Like maybe lose weight or lose five

pounds, right? Which would be different so process for example to lose five

pounds Maybe you have a meal plan, you have exercise regime, right? You

have all of those things while compared to if you have a course that's going

to teach somebody to set up, I don't know, for example, to make a decision.

Let's say, for example, you have gone through this process

of wanting to decide if to vaccinate your kids, right? I actually came across this

with, um, uh, an account I was looking at. And so she

was a bit Confused as to if she should vaccinate her child, right? And she

was like going online, looking at all these things. There's so much information out there,

so much overwhelmed. And then she came across a course that literally was

just giving her the pros and the cons of vaccination, the pros and

the cons of not vaccinating. And that was it, right? then from the information that

you get, you make your informed decision, right? So for example, if

you're having a course like that, that's just giving people. Targeted

information your process is going to be different if and then if you have a

transformational step, you know So it all depends on what

exactly is your outcome What is it that you're going to help your clients

or students to get? And then I will help you to break down your process

because a lot of the times we may be doing something But we don't know

that it's actually a process that we're doing to get to that step

Um, for example, as I said before, you may have all of this

information and now we need to bring it into a more bite sizable,

um, like easily understood package for your people

as well. So it's just a matter of looking at that That's really

interesting. I never thought about because in the online space, I always hear

people talk about the transformation. What's the transformation? What's the transformation?

Right? And it just never crossed my mind that you can just provide

information a course. Like, that's.

A huge mindset shift, it takes a lot of weight off well, I'll speak for

myself. I know I'm always trying to create things that

are full of value and

like, we're just always trying to pack a bunch of stuff into our,

our programs or our courses and things. But even just hearing you

say it can be just information. enough. It doesn't have to

be like this whole huge transformation, which

if you're doing that, that's not bad. That's good. But, that's really

interesting. Okay. because when you think about it, right, you're going to be

saving some because of course, let's say, for example, of course, our program is going

to help somebody save money. Save them time, save them energy, save them

money. Right? So let's think about, for example, if somebody, a mom

specifically wants to find out particular information, you have done tons of

research around, like you have spent days doing this research and you have come

up with this and you're like, okay, now I can make an informed decision. There's

somebody out there who's doing the exact same thing going like, Oh, I just wish

I had a website that they just go on and just get all of this

information. You know what I mean? And yes, you could, I know people would be

like, well, you could go to YouTube, but you could go to website, but. Sometimes

people don't have time to be searching for that. They literally see your course that

says, I'm going to give you all the information that you need right here.

And then they're not thinking about the money or whatever is

saving them. Click. I want that. I've got everything done. That's so good.

Definitely. Um, giving a different perspective, at least a

different perspective for me. So hopefully for you all listening as well.

Um, now we've kind of already gone through action steps people can take, but

do you have any other final action steps or tips

for someone who is. It's ready to create their

online course. I know this might be a bit like,

I know, because I feel like when we hear online course creation, we always want

to hear about the tools and the strategies of the actual course creation. And don't

get me wrong. It is important, but going back again as a course

creation coach, I know that it all starts with us,

right? It starts with our mindsets, our beliefs and everything

else. One of the things I start off with, and that's powerful in my

own course, as module one is that we go through, which is

something I call the power framework. And it's a framework that the Lord gave

me and that I teach my students as well. And it is, this is where

the life aspect comes in with that whole renewing your

mind and just seeing yourself the way God sees you. Right. And in the power

framework, it's essentially allowing you to see yourself. step into your power,

step into your authority with Christ, that you could shift certain

strongholds and mindsets that were holding you back. And I

do not stress this enough. Like you could have all the tools for a

cause. And if you're not right, right there, It

is slowly going to burn out. You may start on the high, but it's

not going to be consistent. I can tell you that for a fact. So one

of my powerful framework is the power framework. I teach that. And I

also like to practice this a lot within myself and it breaks down

everything from prayer to. To forgiveness, to

not wavering in your faith and your belief in what God has called

you to do, you know, your emotions and knowing that your emotions are just your

feelings and not let them control the ship, as we would say,

you know, your actions. And then of course, um, as moms, it's.

Stepping into that self care of surrender and relaxation and

releasing so that you can receive the things that God has for you So

it's very it's simple, but it's very deep as well And it's

a foundational part of that self belief and that impossible that we

spoke about earlier as well. I love that you focus on those

things that it's not just like, Oh, here, create a course, use these

tools, do this strategy. Because a lot of the results

that we see in our business is due to who we are, how

we operate, how we react to certain things, you know, how

we're connected All those things. So I love, love,

love that you are focusing on that foundational piece. Um, and

having the tools be like, it's like, I love, I love tools, you know, I'm

into systems and tech and all that stuff. I love a good tool, but

that's literally even with the things that I teach, the tool is the last piece

of the puzzle, literally. So if you guys are ready to get

your course started, Definitely connect with Zannie so she

can guide you and help you. Yeah, so just to be clear, I

didn't just like give you the mindset, you know, just leave you on your own.

I do give you the tools. And as I said before, because I am very

much familiar with these programs, MailOnline and Thinkific, I teach you how to do

that. So you're not on your own. And these platforms are really, really simple. When

I say simple, I can do it. You can do it simple. It's

really simple, you know, but yes, I do have a course called Course Creation for

Busy Moms. That's a self study course. And it basically takes you

four modules and it breaks down everything for you so that you

literally can create your course in six weeks or less, right? So like you can

binge watch the videos and follow step by step and you literally can

do it But I also offer a six weeks one to one program where

I work on that mindset piece where we're doing the implementation And

I also walk you through As well for the course creation. So

we do it together and you also get access to the course to whether you

work with me one-to-one. So you get life them access for that. And as I

was mentioning before, I've introduced a done for you surveys because I realized that a

lot of people may not have the time to actually put up their

course. So the, in this instance, we do walk through the

process and stuff that you wanna do so that I'll let you create your video,

whatever you're doing, your audio and whatnot. But then I would upload it

and create the course on the platform for you. Because I obviously am

not going to be able to create the course the way you will, because it's

your course, you know? But these are the three ways that you can work

with me and I can really support you. Um, yeah, that's it.

But it's really exciting because when you think about it, right, you've done the work

up front, you've created something. And as a busy mom, honestly, we know how it

is. We just talk about that, right? Like the way I teach is that you

could spend one to two hours a day and that is creating the content now

to just

Market, you know, market. We just like being visible with your course

and putting it out there, but it does take a while to find kind of

like get that message in clear and learn how to kind of use your voice

and how to share your story and I would not make it sound like it

may happen overnight. You know, there are strategies around that. And especially if

it's new to you, it could take a while, but that's some of the things

that we work on. It's just sharing your story. And I do recommend to

my mom's is and I said before, you receive something or, you know, create a

course around something that you have gone through yourself so that you can share your

experience, your story and people are going to connect to that, you know,

so that is how it's done. Yeah, I love

that. And I'm glad we were able to have this conversation. I definitely

wanted to talk about the course creation because you mentioned it. Like

we are busy moms and we don't always have to

recreate the world, just creating something that we Spend

time up front a couple of hours creating and then it's there and we can

get paid repeatedly for it. It is giving us that

time freedom that we desire, right? And

positioning us to be able to be present with our

kids, what we really, really want, right? So I'm so glad we were able to

have this conversation. So I want to circle back in the beginning. We talked

about. Uh, what you're enjoying in this season of

motherhood. What's something that you're finding challenging

right now with motherhood and how are you tackling that?

The challenge, again, I think as entrepreneurs, we always want

to do more. Let's be serious, right? You want to see more results. You

want to do more of this. And so this be a present thing I talk

about is because it's, it's an ongoing thing. I think we all have to just

go through every single day. You know, there's the times where, you know, I want

to do something, I want to send off an email, I want to record a

YouTube video. And that's the day when the baby wouldn't sleep. And you know, there's

all these times that come and many times, this is the practicing of what I

teach. It's just going back to It's going to be okay.

Letting go of the overwhelm. Just trusting the God, trusting God that it is going

to work out. Everything is going to work out. And so one thing I said

to my clients, and I think sometimes, um, people look at me

like, what? I have learned how to just slow down time.

Sometimes when I tell you, slow down time is like, My friend said to me,

how is that? You're able to watch your shows, read your book, do this

in your business. And I can't even do this. And I'm like, it's all about

your mindset and the way that you think about things and the way that

you really process what's happening around you and react to it. You know, so

I'll get so much done when it comes to productivity. I'm super productive, but it

takes. You really being aware of your thoughts

being aware of what you're saying I literally suck myself something when i'm saying something

like no, no, no, I backtracked that no lord. I don't mean that This is

what I mean instead Right because you have to be careful with some of the

things that we say because we are speaking a lot of things into our Existence,

you know, and we are recreating things with what we say and what we believe

or what we think So in the spirit of manhood i'm telling you many times

i'm feeling over i'm like, nope, daddy You're not overwhelmed. You just need to step

back, you know, you talking yourself through it and just trusting that where

I am right now is exactly where I need to be. And I will get

to where I need to go. That's it. That is so good and a

perfect way to wrap up. Oh my goodness. This has been such a

great, great conversation. We definitely could keep this going. I just

wanted to, highlight something you just said. You were talking

about how you have to stop yourself and be very aware. Like this

journey requires lots of

intentionality and being self aware to

be our best selves. And so I'm so glad that you mentioned that because

without that, we will feel that overwhelmed. You will feel

stressed if you're just not super intentional about how you

are. Thinking about things and responding to things.

And so so glad that you mentioned that. So I want to say

something with that too, which is so good. I suppose I said this to a

client of mine. I said, one of the things that we need to do as

moms is to set our priorities. And here's another thing that doesn't, that

actually eliminates my overwhelm is my priorities in my life,

right? My priority is first God, then my family, and then my business.

And so when you feel overwhelmed and you prioritize these things first,

Second third, the overwhelm goes away because you know,

God first, you spend some time with God, you make sure you have that time

with God. Then, you know, when you're feeling overwhelmed with your business and your

children need you. Your children first priority, you know what I mean?

And then your business. And then when you have those in place, you don't, and

you set boundaries around that. It's so much easier to let go of the other

one because you know what, where your attention is going to

be, you know, what's, what's most important. You know? Yeah,

absolutely, absolutely says have this, so it's an audio

course. The Harmony audio course and a part of it talks

specifically about that, right? The brand we talk about how to

create and experience work life harmony and

prioritization is a big piece of that, like setting your

priorities. And it's literally that

God, I put myself in there, but God,

self, family, then business. We are so

aligned. So I love it. We're going to do like a part two or something

else because this is just too good. absolutely agree with you a hundred percent.

I think once we get those things clear, we will eliminate so much

overwhelming guilt and worry and anxiety because you know

what comes first. You don't have to worry about it. You know, it's done. Yeah.

Love it. It's done. This has been so good. So we'll be

sure again, to put all of your information in our show description so people can

connect with you. And if you have any final words that you want to leave

with the moms, feel free to share that with us now.

Yes, absolutely. what I think I really want to leave with us moms

is that what we think is not important and what we

think a slight is so much important. So

valued by others and I want us to really remember that

Because we take ourselves so much for granted and love that you said, you know

God and you because so many times we put ourselves

down we doubt ourselves We worry and even when it comes to

self care and just taking care of ourselves, you know We always

put everybody else above us. So just to just to Just be aware

that what you have or what you know God has already given it to you

because he wants you to use it because he knows that you're capable of

having it because he Trusts you with it, right all of these things And then

if we believe that we will really show up differently I really think so like

one of my affirmations I keep telling myself in my business specifically Is

that who I am right now is exactly who I am what I'm

here to do. That is perfect for what I'm here to do. Because sometimes we

think, oh, if only I was further along, or if only I had done this,

if only I've done that. No, who you are right now is, it's perfect for

what God has called you to do. You know, that kind of thing. I love
