33 | Cultivating Rhythms, Not Routines, To Reduce Your Stress.

Do you feel like this summer season is messy blessing!? Although we are a good 1/2 way through summer, life continues to throw monkey wrenches even during our best laid plans. We try to stick to routines, and when we don't meet the expectations of our routines we can become disdainful, stressed, hair-raising mad! Rather then embracing this season of slowing down and getting some extra Vitamin D, we are running a race that will only tucker us out!
Let's take a collective breath.
In today's episode, Kristina discusses how cultivating rhythms (not routines) will create a symphonic flow in our ever changing environments. Rhythms that will help us embrace more of the good, pick our battles, and release the rest to God.
Whether you are 1/2 way through summer or listening to this in another actual season in the year, you can use these tips to swipe away feelings of mad-titude and cultivate more gratitude.

As mothers we have been taught to do it all. Squeezing everything into every last pocket of time. Until one day we are Googling "burnout", as guest Ruthie Sterrett, CEO of the Consistency Corner, candidly shares.
Over 5 years Ruthie felt called to leave her demanding corporate job, push aside the various side-hustles and take a leap of faith into owning her own marketing firm.
Ruthie shares how she reprioritized and stepped away from the hustle to create her successful business that aims to serve other women just like her. The valuable life lessons she learned in the 5 year journey to where she is today.
And for our inspiring or new-business owners, Ruthie gives us her tips for building a mission and vision statement, niching down and creating a brand you are proud of.
As Ruthie says, "You can do anything! But you can't do everything", all at the same time. We hope this episode encourages you to make that shift!
