143 \\ The 80/20 Rule for Moms Who Want Results in Fitness, Faith and Motherhood - Without Burnout

What if I told you that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your effort? This idea is known as the Pareto Principle. It can transform the way you approach fitness, nutrition, motherhood, and faith.

• Why 80% of your nutrition matters more than 100% perfection
• How to simplify homemaking and motherhood by prioritizing what truly moves the needle
• How to let go of the 20% that’s holding you back so you can thrive
