How to Plan a Productive (and Blissful) Mom Coach Work Retreat

One of the perks of working as a mom coach is you get to work wherever you mom. This means you find yourself working from home most of the time. Close to your creature comforts.

But sometimes, this perk of getting to work wherever our loved ones are can be a double edged sword. All little too close for comfort. Creature or otherwise. So like Lenny Kravitz says, sometimes you got to get away. Or maybe fly away.

As much as I have pretty ideal set-up here with slightly older kids now, a home office I love that’s tucked away from all the action – life and family stuff still sucks me out of the zone a few times a day.

When I feel a bout of the crankies creep up – I remember… oh, yeah! Mama retreat’s happening in T minus three weeks. And I feel all blissed-out again.
