Let’s talk about your intentions for the New Year. Not the ones you wrote in a planner or bought a course for. I mean the deep ones. The ones your body aches for when you’re standing in a messy kitchen, unsure if it’s Tuesday or Thursday. The ones that whisper: I just want to feel like myself again. I want more presence, more peace. I don’t want to keep spiraling through survival mode. If you’ve set intentions that felt beautiful and aligned, but they’ve fizzled out just weeks (or even days) later—this isn’t your fault. Most moms are missing one key ingredient. And without it? Even the most heartfelt intention doesn’t stand a chance.  Intention without rhythm is like a seed with no soil. It might be meaningful, but it has nowhere to take root. We often try to set intentions from a place of willpower. We say, “This year I’ll meditate. I’ll stretch. I’ll slow down. I’ll be more patient.” But then… The baby stops sleeping. The laundry piles up. You forget to eat lunch again. Life pulls you off course. Rhythm is what brings you back. It’s the gentle container that holds your intention when life gets loud. It’s not about strict routines—it’s about having anchors throughout your day that support the woman you’re becoming. What If We Let Growth Be Gentle? Let 2025 be the year we stop hustling for transformation. Let it be the year we notice instead. Notice what we’re drawn to. Notice where we feel most like ourselves. Notice when our bodies whisper “enough.” Here are three ways I’m practicing that kind of noticing—maybe they’ll help you, too:
