Go ahead, make your family uncomfortable. (YOU stick with your purpose as a CEO mom.)

If you’ve been feeling in the weeds of ordinary, mundane mom life lately - if you need a wake-up call to get back in your purpose and back on track to your God-given goals for your humming-along-nicely business - then here’s a quote for you today.

“Are you more committed to keeping the people around you comfortable, or are you more committed to your own” purpose? That’s from Cait Scudder.

And you know what, she’s right. Let that sink in again. 

“Are you more committed to keeping the people around you comfortable, or are you more committed to your own” purpose?

Because the how and why and what you show up for in your day-to-day have everything to do with your 1% purpose. What God put in you to share with the world.

And that may directly go against the comfort level of some of the people currently in your life.

You’ve got this!

This is the Unbusy Mom, and today we’re talking about why you have to make your family uncomfortable if you’re going to truly live out your purpose as a CEO mom.

If you’ve been feeling in the weeds of ordinary, mundane mom life lately - if you need a wake-up call to get back in your purpose and back on track to your God-given goals for your humming-along-nicely business - then here’s a quote for you today.

“Are you more committed to keeping the people around you comfortable, or are you more committed to your own” purpose? That’s from Cait Scudder.

And you know what, she’s right. Let that sink in again. 

“Are you more committed to keeping the people around you comfortable, or are you more committed to your own” purpose?

Because the how and why and what you show up for in your day-to-day have *everything* to do with your 1% purpose. What God put in you to share with the world.

And that may directly go against the comfort level of some of the people currently in your life.

(Like the time I had to tell my daughter that I wouldn’t be helping her with her homework smack in the middle of the afternoon because that’s the order *she* wanted to do her school subjects in - I was only available *earlier* in the day so I could take client calls when the little kids *weren’t* around. I.e., naptime. Which means *she* had to change up *her* preferred schoolwork order. And I was okay with that. Because CEO work time trumps random order for school subjects time.)

Just let them be upset.

• Let them fuss at you for moving onto something bigger (in the amount of team you’re hiring).
• Let them talk behind your back at how you’re no longer “just” a stay-at-home mom (you haven’t been “just” that for years, but it’s only now that they’re finally noticing).
• Let them exclude you, make you feel unwelcome, and generally let you know that you’re not part of their tribe anymore (because you’re not - you’re more in the 7-figures-earner kind of tribe, and that’s something they have *no* experience with).

Because you’re not like them anymore. 

All this business self-development and stretching and learning to hold your clients has made you into a different person. And it’s okay if you feel that way - if they marginalize you that way - because it’s true.

It’s a baptism by fire, my love. And it’s happening for *you*. 

Notice what I said - *for* you, not *to* you. 

There’s a difference. A big difference.

Because you WANT the stay-at-home life that lets you snuggle your babies, make the baby food FOR them if you want, put them down for naps – AND show up for your clients and done-for-you projects like the AMAZING expert you are.

And to get that, you’ve got to make BIG changes to your home life, chore routines, who’s cooking expectations, and everything else that’s on your plate on the MOM side of things – and YES, doing all THAT is going to make some people uncomfortable. 

But they’re not your tribe. They’re never running a business. And YOU are the one with the calling, who answers to God for how you steward it. All right?

So no guilt on how DIFFERENT and counter-cultural you’re going to look as you go for this. 

I’ve got you. 

God’s got you.

Let’s do this.
