The Power of Alignment. 🚨
As you guys may know, my partner and I have been adjusting to life as new parents recently. It’s been 7 months since the birth of our first child Ariael Michelle Roni Tejada-Scott. Although his birth was traumatic, to say the least... Ari has been the complete opposite and brought us so much joy since his arrival into this world! As you can imagine this kind of change has taken us a while to get used to, especially with our work and our schedules. Both of me and @Lauren Scott-sbicca are very ambitious and creative, so the illusive work-life balance has been really tricky to navigate. // For context, my partner is in her 2nd year of running her own business as a Spiritual Coach and Akashic Record Reader while I on the other hand am entering 1 year since last being employed and about 7 months into initiating my first steps into the world of coaching and content creation. At first, we split our time down the middle once Lauren was ready to get back to work. However, we quickly realised that it just wasn’t enough time for her to be able to scale her business. We both are firm with our boundary that Ari needs time with both of us and all together so our work time was cut down to 26 hours in a week. With this set up Lauren was able to fulfil her responsibilities with her clients but she did not have enough time to work on anything that would bring in growth. As for myself, I found that starting from scratch was more difficult than I had anticipated and often found myself battling with self-limiting beliefs and mental blocks that made it difficult to gain traction. // So last week we decided to sacrifice our sleep and talk about our future and what we truly wanted long into the night. Risky as new parents but one thing we always prioritise is getting on the same page. Because Lauren was seeing a lot more traction with her business we decided to switch things up. We got aligned and decided to split our time and focus in a way that meant Lauren was able to make the most out of her current trajectory.
