The Secret to Balancing Work & Family
This Tuesday, I'll again be joining my friend Laura with Arbonne as we talk with another group of moms considering work-family balance. My evening's talk, according to the flyer, is quite rousing in that "Life Coach Nichole Santoro will inspire us with secrets to balancing work, family, and achieving your personal and career goals." I had to smile...if I knew THOSE secrets, I'd be selling quite a few books right now, no?!?

Networking for Moms (otherwise known as "Making Friends")
Every job I ever got, I got through networking. And I believe that networking can be really helpful when you're trying to create an ideal job situation that truly compliments your role as a mom. Whether you're considering negotiating a flexible schedule, partnering with another mom for a job-share position, telecommuting in your current position, considering a part-time job, or even launching your own home based business - these types of opportunities typically don't leap into your eMail box, but they DO magically occur when you happen to mention in a conversation that you're interested in a particular kind of position with a particular kind of company or working with a particular kind of person. The people who know us, naturally want to help us or give us advice about, something to the effect of, "Oh really! I know that so and so happens to do something similar" or ..."was just talking about such and such the other day..."

Go Out and Play, Then Do Your Homework!
I don't recall ever hearing this type of advice until coaching school, where they really supported the idea of doing what you "want" to do, not what you felt like you "should" do. Such a different message than I received growing up, no matter from parents, grandparents, teachers. I'd sit at my desk, daydream, and it would take me FOREVER to get homework done. Later I managed to join enough activities where I had to do my homework FAST, so it no longer was an issue. Although my grades may have reflected my diversified interests. :)

How to "Discover" Your Life Purpose
We each have a calling. We neglect it because we think in order to do so means we can't attend to daily life, or worse, that we must radically alter our lifestyles in order to follow our life's passions. It doesn't need to be so dramatic. Just do one small thing each day to honor your intuitive heart. Following those internal messages will develop your intuitive hunches. We do not have to make life a struggle. We always, always have a choice in how we decide to frame our situations.
Life Purpose will then evolve and be revealed to you with each nurturing step you take. It's not an overnight process but a momentum of series of revelations that in time may begin to form a picture.
