In a world where the chaos of motherhood can feel overwhelming, acknowledging and embracing our feelings is the first step towards finding balance. It's perfectly normal to feel a mix of emotions, from exhaustion to frustration, as we navigate the highs and lows of parenting. Allowing ourselves to experience these feelings without judgment can pave the way to greater self-understanding and ultimately, a sense of peace amidst the storm.The act of taking a step back and allowing ourselves a moment of pause amidst the daily whirlwind is not just beneficial but essential. Whether it’s stealing a few minutes for fresh air or a quiet corner for a brief respite, these breaks can serve as a reset button, offering a fresh perspective and a much-needed energy boost. Embracing these moments of pause can be our secret weapon against the overwhelm, leading to a refreshed and more resilient self ready to tackle the challenges ahead.Furthermore, setting small, achievable goals can significantly impact our mindset and daily life, offering a gateway out of the hamster wheel of constant busyness.

ABOUT ME

So who is this Productivity Diva?

Hey hey, I’m DaVette 🤍—mom of 3, wife, and a former hot mess express who could not stick to a routine to save her life. I tried everything—planners, apps, waking up earlier—and nothing stuck. My brain felt like 47 tabs open, I was constantly overwhelmed, and I was snapping way more than I wanted to. Honestly, I started to believe I just wasn’t the kind of mom who could “have it together.”

After 6+ years as a health and wellness coach (and deep in my own postpartum mom brain era), I realized something huge: everyone tells moms what to do—but no one shows us how to make it work in real life… with kids, chaos, and zero uninterrupted time. So I stopped trying to force systems that weren’t built for me and created one that actually worked with my mom brain.

Now, I help moms do the same—build simple habits that stick, create time for themselves, and feel calmer, more present, and in control (without becoming a type A robot). Everything inside my courses, planners, and tools comes from what I needed when I was in survival mode—so you can stop feeling like a hot mess and start feeling like the mom you know you can be.
