Lauren breaks down how applying strategic business principles to family life has been a total game-changer for reducing daily stress and living more intentionally as a working mom. She shares her journey from flying by the seat of her pants to creating a sustainable system that keeps her focused on what truly matters—without the overwhelming time blocks and complicated tracking systems you might expect.

Key Points Discussed:

• Why businesses and families have more in common than you'd think. And what norms we should steal from the business world to apply to our families.
• Lauren's lightbulb moment when she realized she was managing her business strategically but her family haphazardly.
• The complex spreadsheet experiment that totally failed (and why simple systems win every time).
• How to establish clear family goals and values without turning your home into a corporate office.
• The difference between being intentional and being perfect—plus how this approach actually reduces guilt and stress

I'm diving into the 2.5 books that have seriously changed my life this year. If you're constantly overwhelmed trying to figure out how to do everything yourself, stressed about money during this crazy expensive phase of parenting, or tired of getting into the same arguments with your spouse, this episode is going to slap. I'm sharing the exact mindset shifts from each that have made the biggest impact on my day-to-day life as a mom.

Key Points Discusssed:

• The 3 books I read this year that all gave me profound mindset shifts for my parenting experience.
• ‘Who Not How’, by Dan Sullivan: Helped me make the switch from constantly trying to figure out how to tackle everything myself (my default mode), to asking who can help me solve the problem. And it’s not always about throwing money at it.
• ‘Die with Zero’, by Bill Perkins: Why the traditional save-for-retirement model needs an overhaul, and how it lets me approach the very expensive phase of life we are in raising children.
• An excerpt from‘The Big Leap’, by Gay Hendricks: How this one paragraph has completely changed the way I interact with my husband.
