Blog 88: Your Path to Success: Thriving on Your Terms, Mumma
Define success on your terms and take small, aligned steps daily.
Introduction
I see you. You’re doing everything for everyone—running a household, taking care of the kids, maybe juggling work, and still trying to carve out time for yourself. And somewhere between the meal preps and the bedtime routines, you wonder:
What about me? What about my dreams?
Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s deeply personal.
And yet, so many of us live by someone else’s definition of success—checking off society’s boxes without ever stopping to ask:
What do I want?
So, let’s change that. Let’s redefine success on your terms. Let’s move towards your version of success in a way that feels right for you.
Step 1: Define What Success Means to YOU
Before you can move towards your version of success, you need to know what it looks like.
Not what your family, your friends, or social media tells you it should be.
What does success look like for you?
- Is it feeling calm and present with your kids instead of rushed and overwhelmed?
- Is it building a business or creative project that lights you up?
- Is it simply having time to breathe, rest, and reconnect with yourself?
There’s no wrong answer. Success is whatever aligns with your values and brings you joy.
🌟 Reflection: Write down what success looks and feels like for you. Describe it as if you’re already living it.
Step 2: Identify What’s Holding You Back
Now that you have a clearer vision of success let’s discuss what’s keeping you from it.
Is it time? Guilt? Fear? The never-ending to-do list?
Most of the time, what holds us back isn’t a lack of ability—it’s a belief that we don’t deserve it or have to put ourselves last. But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to earn the right to pursue your dreams.

Step 3: Take Small, Consistent Steps
You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Change happens in the small, intentional steps you take every day.
Here’s how to start:
1. Create Non-Negotiable Time for You ⏳
Success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters. Schedule small pockets of time for yourself daily—even 10 minutes counts.
2. Set Aligned Goals 🎯
Instead of focusing on what you should do, set goals based on what feels right. If success means more rest, set a goal to go to bed 30 minutes earlier. If it means financial freedom, start setting aside a small weekly savings.
3. Protect Your Energy ⚡
Not everything needs your yes. Set boundaries. Delegate. Let go of what doesn’t serve you.

The Benefits of Moving Towards Your Version of Success
When you start defining and living success on your terms, here’s what happens:
💪More Confidence – You stop needing validation from others. More Energy – You’re no longer drained by things that don’t align with you. More Joy – When you do what lights you up, you show up happier for yourself and your family.
Success isn’t just about achievement—it’s about alignment. And when you align with what truly matters to you, everything else falls into place.
Final Thoughts: You Are Allowed to Want More
Mumma, you are not just a mum. You are a whole person with dreams, passions, and a purpose beyond the daily grind. You don’t have to wait for the perfect time—start now, even in the smallest way.
Because when you thrive, your whole family benefits.
If you ever need a cheerleader on your journey, know that I’m just a message away.
