  What to do with the Crushing Back-to-School Overwhelm

  Aug 19, 202612 minS1

  School hasn’t even started yet, and somehow you’re already exhausted by all the lunches, practices, forms, carpools, and rushed afternoons waiting for you. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between having a genuinely full schedule and mentally trying to carry the entire school year all at once. I’ll help you notice the thoughts making your schedule feel even heavier, decide what your kids can begin carrying for themselves, and give yourself permission to simplify, delegate, and do some things imperfectly. You don’t have to manage the whole school year today. You just have to meet today as it comes—and trust yourself to figure out tomorrow when it arrives.

  Just Because You Feel It, Doesn't Mean It's True

  Aug 6, 202614 minS1

  Have you ever felt guilty and assumed it meant you had done something wrong? Or felt someone else’s disappointment and decided you must have failed them? That’s emotional reasoning—when we take the way we feel and turn it into evidence about what is true. In this episode, we’ll talk about why your teenager’s anger doesn’t necessarily mean your boundary is wrong, why being empathetic doesn’t mean you can read someone else’s mind, and how worry can feel like proof that something terrible is about to happen. Your emotions are real, and they deserve your attention. But you don’t have to make them mean something about who you are—or react simply to make them go away. Feelings are information. They are not always proof.

  Maybe that's Not Who You Are

  Jul 30, 20268 minS1

  Have you ever caught yourself saying things like: "I'm just an anxious person." "I'm always behind." "I'm not organized." "I'm bad with money." "I'm the one who takes care of everyone else." What if those things aren't facts? What if they're simply stories you've told yourself for so long that they've become part of your identity? In this episode of Mom Maintenance , I explore how our brains take experiences, assign meaning to them, and slowly turn those meanings into beliefs about who we are. I'll share some of the stories I've carried throughout my own life and explain why becoming aware of them has completely changed the way I make decisions. Because sometimes the greatest limitations in our lives aren't our circumstances at all. They're the invisible rules we've created about who we're allowed to be. This week, I invite you to ask yourself one simple question: Who have I decided I am? You might be surprised by the answer. To find out if coaching is right for you go to Annastice.com

  What if there was Enough??

  Jul 22, 20268 minS1

  Have you ever stopped to wonder what's really driving your decisions? In this episode of Mom Maintenance , I share a realization that has been quietly changing the way I see my own life: scarcity. Not just not having enough money—but the fear that there will never be enough. Enough time. Enough energy. Enough patience. Enough opportunities. Enough of you . I'll share some stories from my childhood, how those experiences shaped the way my brain learned to see the world, and why I still catch myself making decisions from scarcity even though my circumstances have completely changed. This week, I invite you to become curious about the invisible beliefs that may be shaping your own life. Because awareness is often the first step toward lasting change. If this episode resonates with you and you'd like help identifying the thought patterns keeping you stuck, I'd love to meet with you.

  Episode #20

  Haircuts, Cats, & Tattoos

  Jul 6, 20269 minS1

  Have you ever spent days or even months trying to make the "right" decision? Should you volunteer? Change jobs? Quit something you've committed to? Start something new? So often we treat every decision like it will determine the rest of our lives. But what if most decisions aren't nearly as permanent as we think? In this episode, I share a simple framework from James Clear that completely changed the way I think about decision-making: Haircuts, Cats, and Tattoos. I also tell the story of one of the biggest decisions my family has ever made: selling our Crumbl stores and how I learned that sometimes the question isn't "What's the right decision?" but "How can I make this the right decision?" If you've been stuck overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or waiting for certainty before moving forward, this episode is for you. You don't have to predict the future to make a good decision. You just have to trust that, with God's help, you'll be able to handle whatever comes next. If you'd like help learning to trust yourself, quiet the overthinking, and move forward with confidence, I'd love to help. Schedule a free coaching consultation at annastice.com .
