The Thriving in Motherhood Planner is the most effective way to avoid burnout and losing yourself in motherhood and instead get clarity on what you want and what your next steps are so that you can make massive progress in small pockets of time on the things that matter to you and still have your family be the focus of your day.
"My life changed forever."
"The Thriving in Motherhood Planner has helped me be more intentional in my parenting and in how I spend my days. My son loves to see me write in what we are going to do together each day. I love that I see the progress that I’m making.
-Mary Caplin
"I am a better mother."
"If you are on the fence about purchasing it is 110% worth it. You will finally have a place to put your dreams, thoughts, plans and mom brain items then have it all make sense. I've been able to declutter my home, work on memory projects, and improve my health while still adventuring with my family and working full time."
-Kathryn Heinz
"I'm not a "planner" person, but I've been using the Thriving in Motherhood Planner for 3 years now because it doesn't matter if I don't look at it every day or set it down for a few weeks. Just knowing what my vision is each year helps me make progress on things that matter to me in my life, and the monthly reviews help me see that it is becoming a reality."
-Madeline Casey
I've experienced all of these realities since becoming a mom eleven years ago. And I promise, it isn't the end of your story, or mine.
It's the middle.
And middles are messy.
And there is a lot we can do to write ourselves a better story.
But first, let's understand where you are at and where you are heading.
There are two driving forces that help us shape our stories: Clarity and Action.
Clarity is knowing what you want to do, who you want to become, and the type of family culture you want to create. It's knowing what you want more of in your life and what you want less of.
Action is being able to take those ideas and make them a reality by breaking them down into small steps.
When you have low clarity and low action, you experience long days, watching the clock, desperation if your husband is late getting home from work, and wasting hours scrolling on your phone. You want to be productive, but you don't know what to do with the time you have. In other words, your bored.
When you have low clarity and high action, you have full days. You might hit the ground running and not stop until you fall into bed at night, too exhausted to think about tomorrow. But you are last on the list. You spend every day helping the people around and maintaining the house, you but you feel empty and a lack of purpose or joy. Your busy, but not fulfilled.
When you have high clarity but low action, you spend the days physically in your home but mentally wishing you were somewhere else, doing something else. You resent that you don't have time, energy, or support to do the things you have in your mind and heart. You have dreams, but making progress on them feels elusive. You're frustrated.
When you have high clarity and high action, you spend your time and energy on the things that matter most to you each day. You wake up excited about the day ahead with a clear plan but also flexibility to manage whatever unexpected needs arise. You know what your next step is on the things you are working on and ready to seize the next moment that arises, and until then, you are fully engaged with the people around you. You are aligned and feel satisfaction, purpose, and momentum at the end of each day.
Unfortunately, most of the common advice actually traps moms where they are at instead of empowering them to get clear about what matters and make space for that.
You didn't write or look at it for a few days, then weeks, and you felt so guilty for buying it that it ended up in the back of your closet?
You were adding more things to your to-do list than you were crossing off?
You would try to schedule your day but you couldn't think of anything to do or where to be?
The planner felt like another to-do and you didn't want it to be your hobby?
You're a spontaneous person and the structure doesn't fit your personality?
When you did write out a schedule, something came up with your kids (napped too long, were sick, took longer than expected to get dressed and out the door, got distracted watching bugs) and you wondered what was the point?
...but the list kept getting longer and longer. Which made you feel more discouraged every time you looked at it. And every time a moment did open up to work on something, it took too long for you decide what to work on and by the time you picked, the moment had passed.
...and even though it's written down--somewhere--you can't find the information when you need it. You get caught in endlessly researching without ever moving forward and taking action. And instead of feeling better, getting everything out of your head, it feels more scattered.
A system that allows me to confidently decide what to say yes to and what to say no to at any point in my day.
2025 Thriving in Motherhood Planner
The #1 Goal Setting and Life Planner For Moms
You are the perfect mom for your kids with a unique purpose and mission in this life.
You’ve just been buried in to-do’s, overwhelm, and comparison.
I’m ready to help you get on a better path - one that leads to peace and confidence in your unique life!
Clear Vision
With the built in Create Your Vision Workbook, discover what you want your motherhood-and life-to look like so you know where to put your time and energy today.
Built in Flexibility
This planner was designed for moms who know that interruptions and changing schedules need to be planned for, so no more transferring your to-dos from day to day or crossing out schedules.
Know What's Next
Know at every point in your day what the most important thing for you to be doing so that you can be making progress on things that matter and still be fully present with your family.
Guaranteed Progress
Follow the Thriving in Motherhood Planner’s research-based system so that you can make progress no matter the season of motherhood you are in.
Start With Vision
Your vision for the year is your WHAT and WHY.
It doesn't have to be fancy - nailing the laundry system, weekly date nights, decluttering, or "Nature Fridays" totally count.
Plan Your Weeks, Not Days
While it's nearly impossible to get everything done in a day, you can make a lot of progress in a week. There is room for sick kids and unplanned park trips and checking off to-dos.
Weekly Big 3
How do you make your vision a reality? Pick three baby steps each week to make progress on your vision. This progress creates momentum, energy, and enthusiasm for life.
Weekly Template
Create a daily and weekly rhythm that serves the entire family--including you--by recording things that went well that you want to repeat, week after week. This powerful quarterly exercise automates the essentials.
Celebrate
Each month write down all you've discovered, learned, accomplished, places you've gone, and things you've done with your family. This reality check stops the lie, "All I do is....", and helps you see your beautiful life more clearly.
Quarterly Reviews
It is nearly impossible to predict what life will look like three months from now. Which is why every 90 days you pause and look at your life and vision and see what you've done, and what your priority is now.
Instead of never-ending to-do lists, write your tasks based on where you do them. Then when you need to get out of the house, glance at your errands list and you are set to go! Or if it's quiet, look at your computer or phone list.
For the tasks that you want to repeat each week or month, there is a space to record them and check them off so you can automate your routines and make the necessary and essential tasks of life happen with as little thought as possible.
"Helped Me Organize -EVERYTHING!"
"Whether my goal is big or small, I now know how to focus on the next step and break things down into small, manageable, and consistent actions. This year I've been consistent with my habits, homeschooling, and launched my business."
-Makenzie Schmitt
"God has used the Thriving in Motherhood Planner to help guide me in big and small things."
"I use all the reflecting, goals, vision pages at the beginning of the planner. Then, I just use the quarter reviews and the two month pages. I rely on those month pages to ground me and help me get a realistic picture of where I'm at in all the different areas of my life. Then after wrapping things up in that month (filling info in, checking things off etc), I'm able to plan and focus on the current/next month. I use the previous month as a starting point, but I'm still able to start fresh with new focuses/goals depending on God's leading."
- Angie
"Highly recommend the planner."
"The Thriving in Motherhood planner has really given me direction in my life and able to not just focus on the monotony of day to day life. I recommend everyone get it."
-Cierra Atanasio
"This Planner is perfect for every season of motherhood."
"The planner has helped us to create family rhythms and allowed me to accomplish larger goals. The quarterly check ins help me stay rooted and focused."
-Genevieve Larkoski
"The Thriving in Motherhood Planner has become a good friend to me because it is very supportive."
"Being a student of motherhood, Jessica is continually creating tools that keep real mothering in mind. She's open to so many possibilities and keeps this planner accessible for the varieties we present. I love how this planner grounds me and keeps me going through the hard times. I love my planner and have recommended it to so many!"
-Kendra Haws

Thriving in Motherhood Planner Case Study
When I first became a mom I stopped using a planner entirely and I found myself directionless.
When I had pockets of time and was ready to make progress on something, I didn’t know what to do. I felt stuck and directionless.
When I would sit on the floor with my kids and try to play with them, my mind would keep racing and I wasn’t really present with them.
I felt like I was missing out on their childhood while I was sitting in the same room.
I spent years learning about productivity, high performance habits, time management, leadership principles, and positive psychology and used that to create a planning system that is now the Thriving in Motherhood Planner.
I now have a home for all my thoughts and can be fully engaged with my family. I see the progress and growth that is happening in my everyday life.
I have enthusiasm, joy and energy for life and motherhood as I seek to build a strong family and move forward on my greatest goals.
I love seeing the impact the Thriving in Motherhood Planner has had in the lives of women all over the world and I'm excited to see what you create in your life with it in 2025.

"Gives Me Space To Dream Big AND Take the Small Steps To Get There"
"This planner is a game changer. As a homeschooling mom of 4 and running a small business on the side, this planner helps me stay focused on all of the important things.
The monthly pages help me see what I've accomplished and think about the month ahead to figure out what is important to me. The context-based to-dos help me track all of the little things and makes sure I'm not dropping anything. The Think and Process pages are where I keep all my random thoughts and ideas and notes.
I am confident in how I spend my time and energy each day.
The best part - we hit survival mode for 9 months and I had to set all of my projects down. Because of the Thriving in Motherhood Planner I was able to jump right back into my business goals with no time wasted once we entered a new season."
-Linsey Jensen

"Small Investment, Big Difference"
This planner was way more than I wanted to spend. But I really needed help balancing my life.
I realized it was cheaper than a therapy session, cheaper than a gym membership, cheaper than anti-depressants. I bought the planner and it has made the biggest difference. I no longer feel like I'm floundering all the time and I'm actually making progress in all areas of my life."
-Crystal Boyak
There are four phases to creating a life you love: Management, Vision, Momentum, and Alignment.
Other planners keep you stuck in the management phase. While it feels great to get a handle on appointments, tasks, and meal planning, only focusing on that is like the state of our current front yard: we get rid of all the weeds but haven't planted anything new, so every year we need to remove the shoulder high weeds again. Without a trees, shrubs, or flowers to anchor the space, we are just stuck in a vicious cycle that once felt satisfying but is now discouraging.
Adding in the landscaping elements is like creating your vision. It brings beauty and purpose to the space.
Momentum allows you to see the progress and enjoy the journey of making your vision a reality.
Alignment is when your time and energy is being spent on the things that matter most to you.
The Thriving in Motherhood Planner is the ONLY planner that contains the complete system to guide you through all four phases of creating a life you love.
Moms who stay home full time
Moms who work from home
Moms who work outside the home
Moms who are homeschooling
Moms with kids in public school
Moms in survival mode
Moms with a business or side hustle
Moms with a passion project
Moms who are bored
The planner mentions God and invites you to include Him in your planning process and in creating your days - so if you are bothered by mentions of faith, this isn't a good fit.
Everything is exactly the same except for the layout of the weekly spread.
The Weekly Layout has a small space for daily appointments and daily to-dos, which is perfect for most moms with young children without lots of scheduled events each day and families that rely on daily rhythms and routines to guide the day.
The Hourly Layout has a time grid for the week and works well if you have lots of scheduled events in your week or are a fan of time blocking.
