Realistic goals for busy moms are small, specific and one month at a time. Not a whole new you by January 31. Worth Repeating 2026 gives you 12 of them for 2027: one move a month, each with tiny steps and the exact text to send. Most take 30 minutes or less.
The lines I couldn’t stop repeating
I’m gonna be so honest. I didn’t plan on making this.
But every week this year, a guest on The Mami Collective podcast said something I couldn’t stop repeating. To my friends, to my team, to myself in the car before my radio show.
So we pulled the 12 lines that stuck and turned each one into a move for 2027. One a month. Each one comes with tiny steps and the exact text to send, because you don’t have time to figure out the wording.
And no, you don’t need a five-year plan. Nobody is coming with a permission slip. You take the leap, and that’s how you become her.
Your 2027, month by month
Every move is small on purpose. A text. A phone call. One afternoon.
January: Take step one. 15 minutes. From Ashley K. Stoyanov Ojeda.
February: Reconnect with one person. 30 minutes. From Stephanie Jill Cartin.
March: Book the getaway. 10 minutes to book it. From Melissa Zenteno.
April: Write down the deal. One conversation. From Noeli Serna.
May: Drop one thing. 5 minutes. From Courtney Claghorn.
June: Ask for one thing. One text. From Armi Grace Petersen.
July: Book something just for you. As long as you want. From Yvonne “Spoiled Latina” Guidry.
August: Hand off one to-do. 10 minutes. From Martina Matthews.
September: Make the call. One phone call. From Viviana Cordon.
October: Go to one event. One afternoon. From Sara Robinson.
November: Say no to one thing. 5 minutes, tops. From Denise Soler Cox.
December: Check on your friend. One text. From Brooke Taylor.
Two lines that set the tone for the whole year:
“You got to ask for help. I don’t care if it kills you.” Armi Grace Petersen, June’s move
“Either you feel the feeling of having disappointed other people, or you feel the feeling of disappointing yourself.” Denise Soler Cox, November’s move
November’s move hits harder around the holidays. If saying no to family is the hard part, start with How Do You Say No to Family Without Feeling Guilty? August’s move hands a to-do to AI, and 7 Ways Ambitious Moms Can Use ChatGPT or Claude Responsibly shows you how.

Questions
What’s a realistic goal for a busy mom?
One you can finish in a week, not a year. Pick one small action, give it a day and tell someone. That’s why most moves in Worth Repeating take 30 minutes or less, and some are just one text.
Do I have to start in January?
No. Start wherever you are. Each month’s move stands on its own, so you can jump in in March or September and still get something out of it.
Is Worth Repeating really free?
Yes. Enter your first name, last name and email, and the PDF downloads right away. We email you a copy too, so you can find it later.
Do I need to listen to the podcast first?
No. Every move works without the episode. Each page links to the full conversation if you want to hear more.
Will I get other emails?
Yes. You get your move on the 1st of every month, plus The Monday Newsletter, Dear Mami on Thursdays and news about our events. Choose which ones you get, or unsubscribe from all of them, from the link at the bottom of any email.
