142. The simple exercise that helped 22 working moms believe in their goals
Andrea takes you behind the scenes of her birthday Breakfast Club event in West Vancouver — 22 women, a DJ, mimosas, and a surprisingly powerful exercise. She walks you through the timeline + vision board activity she's been using with 1:1 coaching clients for years, and now finally brought to a group setting. It’s a way to make your big dreams feel real, grounded, actually achievable…and pretty.
In this episode, we cover:
(00:00) Intro
(02:12) What I'm pondering: Substack — is it replacing social media?
(09:50) What I'm loving: Chicken Caesar wraps - a reinvention (something like this)
(12:25) What I'm wearing: The H&M cotton tank that is NOT a racerback
(14:32) The Breakfast Club May 28th recap — 22 women, DJ, mimosas, and birthday vibes in West Van
(17:18) Why working moms need to zoom out and plan with a bigger timeline in mind
(22:17) The origin story: how the timeline exercise was born in a VIP coaching day
(26:38) How to do the timeline exercise yourself — step by step
(28:04) Adding the vision board layer and why the combo is the magic
(30:08) Why a vision without context won't work (and what the research says)
(32:00) Why summer is the BEST time of year to do this exercise
KEY TAKEAWAY
A vision board without context is just wishful thinking. When you marry your big dreams with a concrete timeline — your kids' milestones, your age, your partner's retirement — your brain actually believes it's possible. And that belief is exactly what makes it happen.
