My Mother’s Day Reality Check
I have a plan.
I’m going to use Amazon as my branded, dropshipped wellness store.
Use Pinterest and my blog to market my brand.
Use reels and TikTok as a video log to my blog.
Email marketing to introduce new products and hook sales.
Have Facebook as a home base.
I want it so automated that all I have to do on screen is make/post daily content.
I have to implement all of this soon, so I can build my coaching program for the ladies, write chapter two of my book, start group coaching on Saturday mornings, and sell my honest blood/sweat/tears as digital content.
My love for fitness is where all of this started. Holistic health and plants are a special interest. What I do with those plants (soapmaking) is an even more niched down reality of mine.
My 8 month plan has evolved into an ‘automate all that I can before moving to Texas in 2025’ plan.
I’m using mom brain to do all of it. I know things look super unconnected and I’m aloof to time. I am still just a girl! I have delayed processing and forget how to communicate my needs, I can’t help it. I’m tired.
The cherry on top is that I have made an educated decision to go gluten-free. Controversial, I know. Genetics plays such a big role in my day-to-day life, I cannot ignore the call to action in front of my face.
Especially when it’s clearly on my face. I’ve always had rosacea on my nose and cheeks. The first week I was completely gluten-free my sister said that my complexion had improved, and I was indeed glowing. This morning, both cheeks and the nose are red and puffy with blemishes. I suppose the hot and ready pizzas are to blame. My stomach hurts but I’m being brave about it.
I’ve worked for years to get this far. So has Jacob. I am excited to find out what’s next. I am even more excited knowing that what we both are doing today is setting the foundation for the financial stability of our legacy. I never want them to suffer or fight as hard as we have; yet I pray that they are even more humble and just than I could ever be.
It’s Mother’s Day weekend. I am supposed to write a blog about What Mom’s Really Want For Mother’s Day; the next week, What Mom’s Got For Mother’s Day (I know the English isn’t perfect but for a Pinterest post, it’s fine).
I received many different answers, varying from countertop appliances to body modification… one common answer among all platforms: a peaceful day at home with loved ones and fur babies, with good food and entertainment. Delightful.
The house cleaning begins today. The shopping tomorrow. Don’t forget the routine extracurriculars and the holiday crafting. The baking and the marinating. The SPF! And a garnish for your beverage.
I hope you enjoy your time with the family. Whatever gifts you may receive are a display of gratitude, not a measure of your worth.
