From Chaos to Clarity: A Better Way to Plan Your Year

Most moms don’t enter the new year with clarity—we stumble into it, reacting to the chaos as it comes. We don’t feel grounded or confident, we just feel behind.

But next year doesn’t have to be like that.

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a clear one—built with reflection, prayer, realistic goals, and flexibility. A plan that prepares your heart and your home for the responsibilities God has already given you. Not a dream life—a faithful life.

In this episode, I’m sharing:
✔ Why planning alone leads to guilt and second-guessing
✔ The difference between perfect planning and faithful planning
✔ Why community planning makes your plan stronger and sustainable
✔ How clarity gives you peace, margin, and direction before the year begins

💜 That’s exactly what we do in Ready5, our guided annual planning process inside Convivial Circle. For five weeks, we walk through reflection, direction, priorities, flexible commitments, and joyful follow-through—together.
