I’m Danielle and I’m a recovering over achiever. I struggle with feeling like I’m never doing “enough” which is real fun when you’re on maternity leave or a mom trying to balance all of the things.

However, rather than thinking about what we achieve on an hour to hour basis, or day to day basis, I like to think about what I accomplish on a month to month basis. This allows me to set my short term goals as monthly goals, and my long term goals can be broken up into quarterly goals.
