Today I have something fun to share with you! Recently, I was given the opportunity to explore Lisa Work's newest Visionary Mom creation, the Make A Plan Workshop. A DIY style online course, the "workshop is designed to walk you – step by step – through the process of planning out your amazing idea. "
Speaking for myself, as a woman who is constantly evolving and discovering new interests, I appreciate Lisa for providing such excellent framework to make sense of my ideas so I may put them into action.
Through video, worksheets, email support and more, Lisa offers her students the tools they need to get started making their dreams come true.
There is no start or end date to this workshop, the schedule is created by you!
Earlier this week, I had the chance to ask Lisa a few questions.
Visionary Mom is something I created when I was looking for what I wanted to do that really, truly inspired me. I know, as a mom, how hard it can be to live our dreams, to make time for that, but I also feel strongly that it is so important that we do. We want our kids to live amazing lives.. well, what about us? Our vision, our dreams, they matter too. The Make a Plan Workshop is a do-it-yourself workshop that walks you through the steps of how to make your dreams a reality. It is a guide, as well as a reminder, that we can do this. We CAN be amazingly inspiring mamas AND make our dreams come true - at the same time.
2. Your work focuses on supporting women in achieving their personal dreams. Please tell us about one of your dreams you've made come true by using your own tools and methods.
Right now, I am going to school, studying art. It is challenging, being a single mom, a full time student, and a business owner. But, it is something, I have wanted to do - for a long time. I grew up thinking of myself as a math person, not as an artist. But, being creative, and expressing myself through art has been my dream. And, now, I am doing it. I use everything that I teach - planning, being mindful, sharing my truth, setting priorities, not being so hard on myself, etc. Everything I share on Visionary Mom, I am applying to my own life.
3. How do you remain fueled and inspired to do the work that you do?
I have a clear vision and purpose for my life and everything I do is inside of that. So, when life gets hard and challenging, I am quickly reminded WHY I do all that I do. That, and the amazing things that I see the moms I work with accomplish. They inspire me with their courage, authenticity, passion and joy. It is contagious, so they really keep me motivated to keep sharing the things I know about powerful living.
4. As a busy working mom, what does a typical day look like for you?
It is jam packed!! We get up and get ready for the day, I take my son to school, then come home and work. That means writing, checking in with clients, leading a Visionary Mom team call, returning emails, etc. I do all of that while my daughter plays right by my side, which can sometimes be challenging, but often makes it more fun! Throughout the day, I will do some laundry, stop and work on an art project, make us some lunch, then get back to work. I usually have an agenda of things I want to get done for the day and I go back and forth between working on that and stopping to do something with my kiddos. Some days I get more done, other days are all about the kids. I really try to listen and pay attention to how much they are needing me and let the work go if I need to. In the afternoons, we take a walk to pick up brother and then have some devoted family time. Then, dinner, baths and bed. Once they are tucked in and sleeping away, I will work on homework until I'm pooped, then I go to sleep.
5. Can you give us a little tip? What is one thing you do to ensure you have the time needed for pursuing your own work and dreams?
You just have to do it. It's never perfect, and will often be messy. But, pursuing your passions and living a full, happy life, is SO worth it. Your kiddos will benefit in unimaginable ways, watching YOU live your dreams.
