Ep. 71: Balancing Busy with Rachel Green

Living in today’s fast-paced culture where we are bombarded with a million different options, opportunities, and decisions to make each day, it can be hard to find a good balance between saying YES to the life we want, without running ourselves ragged.

In this episode I’m sitting down to chat with Rachel Green, a city girl turned farmer’s wife who has grown to love and cherish slow living, about how we can find balance in the busy and create lives we love.

For the past six years Rachel has been serving women who want more from life – who want freedom to do what they love and live the life they dream of living too.

Through intentional business development, valuable education and resources, and a place of community, she is wholeheartedly devoted to giving women that dream and helping them pursue their passions.

She doesn’t claim to have it all figured out – she’s in the middle of it, just like you! But she strives to live her life for what really matters and take time to enjoy each day as it comes.

As a small business owner, wife and mother, she knows firsthand that it’s hard to draw the line between our work and the rest of our lives. But, she believe that we can.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:

How wearing busy as a badge of honor will ultimately lead to burnout and overwhelm
Why we need to learn the difference between busy and productive
The truth about balance (it doesn’t mean 50/50!)
How to break free from rhythms of rush
Why learning to find balance amidst the busy is a long-term process and practice of letting go and making intentional decisions
The importance of knowing your capacity and setting healthy boundaries
How Sabbath can play a big role in living a well-balanced life
Why you should focus on building a life you love FIRST, then choosing work that supports that lifestyle
The importance of avoiding the comparison trap and staying in your lane

Sponsor Spotlight: Safe Skincare Series

Are you curious about how to change up your beauty routine by using safe products? Or maybe using safer skincare hasn’t crossed your mind…I mean, isn’t what you already buy on the shelf safe?

Wherever you’re at in changing up your personal care products, skincare and makeup routines to safer ones, my Safe Skincare series is for you!

Did you know that the US has not passed a law regulating the cosmetics industry since 1938? Women use an average of 12 personal care products containing 168 ingredients daily.

Now, this isn’t all about stats and chemicals and regulations. It’s really about how these chemicals are affecting our health – and they really are affecting our health, causing everything from inflammation, fertility issues, obesity, diabetes, thyroid imbalance and even certain kinds of cancers.

These statistics are what get me fired up to change the industry and to tell you about products that are safe and high performing! You don’t have to compromise beauty for safety.

You don’t have to decide between a product that works or one that’s safe – you can have both, and I’m going to show you how in my Safe Skincare email series.

Over the course of the next week you’ll receive 8 emails loaded with helpful info and I’ll even show you my own personal makeup and skincare routines!
