A mother running a boutique from home credits Ashley Alderson's "Best Year Yet" series with helping her stay sane while juggling a newborn and toddler. She learned to set three small daily goals, win her mornings with intention and walks, and found community when isolation felt crushing.
Hey, Ashley.
So I wanted to hop on and just say thank you. I stayed up till like 1:30 last night, just catching up on the best year yet videos. And I was so glad. I guess I'm like Ed in the sense of I work best at night.
But that's also because my kids are.
Asleep and I have some time to myself.
As we all know, it's such a rarity. But as a solopreneur, it just.
It gets hard. I'm trying to balance with the newborn, as you can hear him in the.
Background, and a toddler. And I do everything at my home.
And sometimes I am just. I just feel so all alone. So finding you in this community, in these videos, like, I honestly can't say thank you enough. I really appreciate the fact that last.
Night you were able to, well, on.
Day four, just lay things out so.
That I can really work on time management.
And then previous to that, just talking about having goals and just conquer three. I'm so bad about putting like a to do list of 30 things and then being like, business is never gonna take off. You suck. Like, you didn't get all these things done.
And I'm just like my worst enemy at that point. And I just.
I don't look at what I have.
Done and what I know I can.
Do, and it gets so heavy. And when you're by yourself, like, there's.
Nobody in your corner, you feel like to cheer you on and to be like, no, you can and you will.
Look at what you've done. We can do this.
And you are that for me.
So I really. I really do appreciate it. This morning I got up, I talked.
I thought about my intentions, what I wanted out of this day, who I.
Want to be, and made myself go walk these damn California hills in my neighborhood. And I was out of shape and it was really tough, but I took my kids with me.
And then afterward, I did a workout with my toddler.
And I guess bottom line is I.
Felt like a better mom. I feel like a better me. And I really owe that to you. So just know that these videos. I know everyone tells you how great you are because you are. But I just want you to know that my day, like, I won the morning.
And that felt really good. Like.
Felt really good because it hasn't.
Happened in a while. So I just wanted to say thank you very much for just offering such a really cool community to know that we can do this and to feel strong and we're not alone, because that's so, so huge. So thank you so much. Have a good day.
