I can’t lie, this first month of nomadic living has been a massive transition. The way we chose to do things in terms of work & children this time is much different than when we previously lived as nomads. My husband is keeping his full-time job which falls during regular work hours — this means my schedule is undergoing great change. We’re currently in our “trial period” of this new schedule and I’m finding what works & what doesn’t. My saving grace has been remembering to implement these 3 foolproof tips for time & energy management. Oh && hot take: I believe energy management is much more important than time management.

THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
• Exploring our old stomping grounds with our kids
• Realizing how much “better” of a mom I am as nomads versus regular life
• How my health journey is going
• Experimenting with new & different parts of our schedule
• The three tangible tips you can implement to become a pro at time & energy management

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
