Ep 184: Building Up Your Essential Mom Skills for an Efficient, Clutter-Free Home with Diana Ballard

systeme.io

Motherhood is stressful, but there are ways to make it easier. My guest on the podcast this week is here to share the 6 pillars she used to get her home and life under control.


After her first attempt to travel to Europe didn't end as she planned, Diana Ballard took it into her own hands to figure out how to make her dream life a reality. She reached out to women who seemed to have it all together and discovered a common thread.


Each of these women were excelling at a core essential skill-set.


Leaning into this knowledge, Diana began to implement the necessary skills and they worked.


Since then, Diana has become a mom of 4 and has continued to interviewed Moms for over 12 years.


Her passion is to help other moms do the same. Diana is the Founder of Mom Training International- A Continued Education Organization for Mothers, and is Host of The Mom Training Podcast.


Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about motherhood and the essence of intentional living. This isn't just about decluttering physical spaces; it's about decluttering minds so you can create an intentional and purposeful family life.

This episode of the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast will help you discover:

  • The 6 key skill sets every mom needs
  • How traveling continues to impact Diana’s family
  • Why Diana choses to not have a nanny, even when her husband’s deployed
  • The importance of decluttering your home for your kids
  • How to create more intention in your family life
