Sometimes You Need A Forced Reset

🗓 COMMUNITY MEETUP: Friday August 15th @ 12 PM (ET) ⬇️


A NOTE  FROM AMY

🎬 TLDR:

I'm hosting the third virtual event of 2025 for the Mixing Babies And Business™ Community this Friday August 15th @ 12 PM (ET) – recapping my rituals, embodiment practices and simple techniques with a side of intuitive readings – in under 30 minutes, all for a $25 CAD flat fee in 2025.


Because it's summer, school is still out and it's all about parent-friendly professional development over here!


Come for the strategies, stay for the solidarity like...


👀 Nobody:


Parents when the kids are at camps: Might as well build that landing page, upskill in AI, test my latest messaging, build a scalable offering + convert my high touch work to a group program.


This has been my summer so far...anyone else?

🚼🌏 Welcome to your new virtual village: Join our movement. Bring your kids.

We're nearly eight months into this:

  • primarily asynchronous experience
  • with quarterly live connection points (Feb, May, Aug, Nov 2025)
  • designed to help you make incremental changes and
  • get results in different ways


I embody all of my advice and you can choose your own adventures! I've been sharing the ways you can tap into and strengthen your intuition, define and communicate your innate gifts and talents, alongside taking aligned action to help you co-create changes in your life and work.


Maybe you haven't noticed but I've been shaking things up around here in Mixing Babies And Business™ land...


It's been by necessity AND by design, after going through a car accident and related injuries in 2023. I haven't been able to work / parent / live the same ways since then.


I'm choosing to view it as a forced reset:


LESS

Live and in person events.

Giving my time, energy and ideas away for free.

Responsiveness to requests which don't align with my business plan or my values.

Client work in a done-for-you format.

Parenting in a way that involves pushing through or ignoring my needs.

Saying yes, when my body says NO.

Pressure to be liked or accepted for the way I am.

Waiting to get better or go back to the way I was...what if this is it?

Worrying about the future.


MORE

Focus on healing and advocacy for my body and our family.

Time at home and in many different clinics.

Virtual and async events, calls and meetings.

Client work in a high touch and also leveraged way.

Repurposing my work to date to focus on connection and awareness.

Creating systems and sales mechanisms to serve more parents.

Protecting my intellectual property and enforcing terms and conditions.

Automation and delegation.

Sometimes cutting or quitting ways of doing things without guilt.

Accepting where I am and practicing self-compassion.


Maybe you've made similar shifts over the past few years?


I was ALREADY pretty good at showing up for myself. Advocating for my needs. Using my voice. Being in my power. Taking ownership. Creating that which I wish existed.


But the past two years have been a complete MASTERCLASS in me executing on all of those things: Embodying the work, relying on the rituals and referring to my own intuition over and over again...


While doing it in radically different ways and environments – often medical, legal and sterile – completely outside of my comfort zone and business as usual.


Since 2016, I had gotten used to juggling the kids, the work, the speaking, the ideas, the activism, the invisible labour. It became second nature for me.


Until it wasn't and I needed to relearn, adapt and experiment all over again.


Remembering who I AM, outside of this business.

Remembering who I AM, outside of being a parent.


Why am I sharing this with you?

I know the way I do things normally is imperfect, messy, impulsive, from a place of my own inner knowing, creative drive AND ALSO I've been told it's inspiring, trailblazing and makes others feel seen.


I appreciate it when people share their feedback, how my writing, words or work has touched them as parents and individuals.


Now I know it's also not related exclusively to activism, parenting, flexible and remote work or creating a social impact.


Over the past month alone, health practitioners have said I inspire them on two separate occasions and at another appointment, three of them shared their empathy and compassion, saying I had been through, "a lot".


But the point of this note to you (aside from reminding you of the community offering and meetup), is to remind you of your own personal power.


You are more than your...

...work

...parenting

...relationships

...family of origin

...productivity and results.


I believe you are your own best advocate. Investment. Leader. Guide. Answer. Your existence and experience as a human being is influencing and impacting others who you come into contact with daily, in ways in which you may not even realize.


But sometimes you need a forced reset. To remember, unlearn, remove or reduce the layers over top which we've added to keep ourselves safe, seen, heard, validated or protected.


Your intuition could feel like it's lying dormant. Waiting for a life event to wake you back up. Whispering to you in those rare moments when things slow down. Or getting louder when your boundaries are crossed.


If any of this is landing with you, I'd love to welcome you inside of the community in 2025 – and ongoing as it evolves. There's still time to jump into this experience and join us, the remaining five private episodes and resources will be dropped on the 25th of each month, with a back catalog of eight months for you to binge (all under 15 minutes!)


And for those of you who may be still reading but not completely understanding where I'm coming from or where this is all going, I appreciate you reading and allowing me to continue to share this parenthood and business journey with you.


Have a great week,


– Amy Lynch (+ Family)
