Money - Are you a mother that has a deep desire to pursue your dreams? You have that inner call within you that's waking you up saying you can be a mom and pursue your passions? You will love today's episode with the amazing Lara Johnson. Lara opened up about her story of transition from staying at home raising children to creating a business where she gets to work from home, enjoying adventures with her young family and with her clients. 

After a couple years of motherhood, Lara had a "mean mom" moment and realized that she had lost herself. She was giving everything to her babies but in the process, she was losing parts of herself that were part of her. She was unhappy with herself and she realized she was taking it on her kids. The very next day she began researching how to get better. This research led her to an amazing therapist, who was also a mom of young children, who reminded her that it is possible to be a mother and pursue your dreams. 

Lara continued down the path of self-discovery and now inspires other mothers who want it all too! She offered some amazing tangible advice to moms who are ready to pick back up the pieces of who they are. Here are a few basic steps that she talked about towards the end of the conversation:

1. Acknowledge that inner calling within yourself that is asking you to be the person you were meant to be. 
2. Start identifying what that nudge is trying to tell you.
3. Pick up the "phone." Meaning simply take a moment to answer the calling of your inner purpose. 
4. Make a list of things that light you up and start taking steps forward.  

There were so many more amazing nuggets in this episode. Listen in and pick up the phone...your inner purpose is calling!
