Last week, I had the privilege of attending a Vision Board session with a group of accomplished women—C-level executives, philanthropists, directors, and more. As they shared their strategies for a successful year, one simple question brought the room to an emotional pause:
“What would you do differently this year to ensure you are not only successful but truly happy?”
One by one, these remarkable women opened up about their struggles:
✨ A woman in her early 60s revealed she had spent her life giving everything—her time, her energy, her self—to her partner, children, church, PTA, in-laws, siblings, and friends. She admitted she barely had time for herself.
✨ She confessed she had always been responsible for packing her husband’s suitcase for trips but recently stopped. “I’m not the one traveling—why should these tasks consume my time?”
✨ Another woman shared she’s always tired and feels she looks two decades older than her husband.
✨ One said reclaiming her time would take courage because her family had grown entirely dependent on her.
Does this sound familiar?
Here’s the hard truth: Women’s time is treated like an infinite resource. Society, family, work, and even our own expectations pull us in every direction. But here’s what I want you to hear today:
🕰️ Your time is limited.
💡 Your time is valuable.
❤️ Your time deserves respect.
✨ This Week’s Prompt: Reclaim Your Time
This week, let’s start with reflection. Take stock of your time.
Ask yourself:
🕰️ Where is your time going? Look closely at your days—hour by hour. Who or what consumes the most of your energy?
💡 What demands on your time feel non-negotiable, and why? Are they truly immovable, or have you been conditioned to prioritize them?
❓ How much time are you leaving for yourself? Not for work, family, or obligations, but for YOU—your joy, your rest, your passions.
💪 This Week’s Action Plan
1️⃣ Track Your Time: For the next three days, write down where every hour goes. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just get an honest picture of your life.
2️⃣ Reflect: Highlight the tasks and commitments that feel draining, unnecessary, or misaligned with your priorities.
3️⃣ Take Back One Hour: Identify one thing you can delegate, decline, or delay this week. Use that hour for something that lights you up—movement, rest, reflection, or pure joy.
Why This Matters
Reclaiming your time isn’t about perfection or doing it all—it’s about freedom.
💡 Freedom to prioritize yourself without guilt.
💡 Freedom to let go of obligations that no longer serve you.
💡 Freedom to create a life that feels like yours.
Your time is your power. This is the first step in taking it back.
