THE BEST DAY PODCAST, Mindset, Positive Mindset, Encouragement, Motivation, Confidence

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed? Burnt out, feeling stressed and pulled in every direction. Constantly comparing yourself to other people? Lacking in confidence, looking for ways to get motivated? Eager to find balance. All while, driving in the express lanes to make it to the next part of your day as you chug your second (or third) cup of coffee? Not to mention you are the queen of long-winded to-do lists with an ambitious dream, if only you had more time in your day.

Welcome to the Best Day Podcast. The podcast for encouragement and motivation. To equip you with the pep talk you need to live your best life. To give you the tools to embrace a positive mindset and live a life you can feel good about. This podcast will help reduce the stress in your life and establish healthier habits so you can stop feeling scattered and disorganized 24/7.

Hey, I’m Haley. Wife, mom, high school history teacher, and encouragement blogger over at @gracefulandfree. For the last several years, I struggled to find a healthy work-life balance. I was overcommitted, refused to say no, and worked a lot. Sacrificing my sleep and my joy, just to hustle harder, all while feeling extremely stressed and overwhelmed. And then, I became a mom, and I knew something had to give.

Through embracing a positive mindset, I have found balance and established boundaries to protect my peace, so that I can live every day as the best version of yourself. So what do you say? It is time to stop feeling unmotivated, and time to say YES to living confidently, every single day, no matter what may come your way.

Ready to have your best day as the best version of yourself? Well friend, grab your iced coffee and let’s get encouraged!

    Encouraging is the perfect word
    Haley does a fantastic job delivering encouragement and helpful mindset shifts without bringing the toxic positivity. I appreciate how she balances realness with her bright personality, and shares relatable stories and relevant advice on every episode. This podcast is a great listen for any mom, educator, or person out there who feels like she has a lot on her plate and could use some encouragement along the way!

    In a very short time Haley’s “The Best Day” podcast has become one of my favorites! I’m so happy I found it while looking for something new and fresh to kick-off 2024. Haley speaks from her heart and I thoroughly enjoy her content. She gives great ideas and strategies to make each of our days the best days! I have shared not only specific episodes - but her show with some of my close friends. Keep them coming, Haley! We are listening! 🤗🤗

    Too much of a hard sales push
    Months ago I really enjoyed the positive, actionable content on the podcast. Lately it has become a near infomercial for booking a coaching session. I understand that most podcasts have a goal or CTA but it’s just too much and frankly off-putting.

    Self Worth Discovered
    I have always questioned if I should or should not begin a blog. I used to write when I was young. I said I would always be a writer. Then I became an adult. Now I have a purpose. Thank you for the podcast on tips for starting a blog. I kinda messed up and started too before planning. Yet, the idea had been there awhile. I have been documenting without knowing. I have been writing my story through pictures and conversation. Now it is time to write it down! Thank you!
  • kcmb67
