Episode #5 - AJ Vaden
For many ambitious working moms, the desire for recognition often stems from professional achievements. However, AJ reminds us that true significance lies within our homes. This perspective shifts the focus from external validation to the invaluable connections we nurture within our families.
AJ explains how she and her husband pursued more money and time, only to find themselves still stressed and unfulfilled. Instead, they discovered that true wealth is about cultivating peace in their lives. AJ emphasizes the importance of asking, "Will this bring me more peace?" whenever faced with decisions, guiding listeners to prioritize peace over chaos in their busy lives.
AJ shares her personal practices, beginning each day with dedicated alone time. This solitude allows her to recharge, reflect, and set intentions for the day ahead.
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1️⃣ True wealth is defined by the peace we cultivate rather than the money we accumulate.
2️⃣ Recognizing and adapting to the different seasons of life is essential for maintaining balance.
3️⃣ Being well-known starts at home with our families, where genuine connections are formed.
“How can you unleash the uniqueness you have in the service of someone else?”
