6 Steps: How to Set Goals That Will Change Your Mama-Life
I have a big confession to make, and it might be a little mind blowing… I used to hate goals. I know, right?

My first real introduction to goal setting was early on in my 10 year career in the corporate world. Basically, I was given a template to set goals that I didn’t have a lot of control over, but made some nice looking charts and that was about it.…
