I created a free Ebook, Overcome Overwhelm and Create Space for Yourself as a guide for you to be able to use the strategies that I have learned over time to help you feel confident and empowered. 

Step 2 in creating space for yourself is learning to delegate!

As women we take on far too many things and feel the need to control every aspect of our lives. But this is not sustainable. It is also a complete disservice to our families. Each day we are modeling for our children and if we continue down this path then we will continue to model this unsustainable way of life to our children. Instead we need to teach our children that a family is a team and that everyone needs to work together and support each other. 

Delegating daily tasks can be difficult at first, but over time asking for help will become easier and if you can have a good system in place you will feel supported so you can excel at the things that you do well. 

We need to change the messaging that women receive and several women have done this for me! I have read a number of books recently all written by amazing and crazy successful women and guess what… they all asked for help! And guess what else? They are all speaking openly about needing that help! Rachel Hollis, Shonda Rhimes and Michelle Obama! YES! My friend Erin Miller also recently wrote a book called Motherhood stripped and she speaks so eloquently about this as well! 

We need to normalize asking for help when we need it. Even more so we need to normalize working together so that we don’t have to ask for help.
