• 44 | How to Find Time Alone As a Stay At Home Mom, Even If You're With Your Kids 24/7
    Oct 31 2024

    Hi, friend!

    Have you ever desperately wanted just a few minutes to yourself, but struggled to fit it in with all the demands of busy mom life and kids that need you seemingly 24/7?

    Feeling overwhelmed or even hitting a place of burnout in motherhood unfortunately is a lot more common than we think and one of the #1 things I hear from moms is just wanting to find more time to relax and unwind each day. This can honestly feel almost IMPOSSIBLE in a season of little kids and lots of responsibilities and in today’s episode, we are tackling this topic. How to find time alone even as a stay at home mom who is with her kids 24/7. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

    Hugs!

  • 42 | The Biology of “Mom Brain” & How to Use That to Your Advantage with Rachael Elmore
    Oct 24 2024

    Hi, friend!

    Have you ever felt like you don’t even recognize the person you are now that you are a mom? You knew that new mom life would be full of really big high’s and also really hard challenges, but even though you prepared as much as you could, you’re still asking yourself is it really supposed to be THIS hard?

    Maybe mom life isn’t what you expected, maybe balancing it all is making you feel a little crazy, or you just don’t know how to actually take care of yourself and find time for self care amidst everything else you are responsible for (including keeping multiple humans alive!).

    If you have struggled with managing stress, responding in anger or just feeling like your mind feels out of control, this episode will be SO insightful. Rachael Elmore has been a licensed Christian therapist for 20+ years and is also an award-winning author. We are diving into the biology of “mommy brain”, how our brains actually change after becoming a mom, and how we can use that for our advantage as we are trying to balance it all. We also talk about postpartum depression and vulnerable personal stories of each of our experiences as well as wisdom on how to know how much is too much as moms balancing multiple roles as mom, wife, and business/career. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

    Hugs!

  • 41 | Feeling Disorganized? Try This 10-Minute Daily Reset Routine!
    Oct 18 2024

    Hi, friend!

    Are you tired of seeing clutter everywhere and really just want to figure out how to make keeping a tidy home SIMPLE again? In today’s episode, I am sharing my 10 minute daily reset routine to make tidying up EASY and attainable as a busy mom.

    Have you ever thought about the tasks that you procrastinate the most? If you really think about it, is it always tasks that you HATE doing or that take hours and hours and hours to complete? Or if you get really honest, do the tasks you procrastinate the most ALWAYS take so much less work than you expect, but you work them up to be a much bigger project than they actually are in your mind?

    This is true for so many of my students (and myself as well!) and I’ve found that often, the overwhelm in our brain clouds us from being able to come up with easy action steps to just START. I know you really just want a simple system to be consistent in tidying up around the house, instead of letting things pile up until you feel like you are PARALYZED to even know where to start. This episode is going to give you exactly that! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

    Hugs!

  • 40 | Our Daily Schedule with 3 Kids 4 & Under (Balancing Homeschooling, Working from Home, and Homesteading)
    Oct 16 2024

    Hi, friend!

    I get a lot of questions on what do your days practically look like as a stay at home mom that is also a work from home mom? How do you schedule your days? What does balance look like to you in this season? This is something I walk through in-depth on how I schedule my days, how I originally decided the best way to schedule my days for success, all of that, but today, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain and just give you an overview of how we are currently spending our days.

    Now, I’ll give the disclaimer that no two days are exactly alike in our household, but we definitely have a normal rhythm to our days and I’ll walk you through what that looks like currently for us as we are homeschooling, I work from home, and we also have lots of hobbies and activities like homesteading, being involved in our church and community, etc. I think this will be a really fun one to break down! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

    Hugs!

  • 39 | Tired of Screens Babysitting Your Kids? Try These 3 Quick Activities (5 Minutes or Less to Set Up!)
    Oct 11 2024

    Hi, friend!

    Today, we’re going to talk about something I’ve been getting a lot of messages about recently. And that is feeling like you are tired of using screens to babysit or entertain your kids just so you can get anything done. Do you ever feel like you really prefer to not use screens a ton and you know you’d rather have your kids playing by themselves, but also, it seems like that is the only way you can get anything done?! I’ve totally been there and this episode is for you!

    In today’s episode, I’m going to share 3 super quick activities that take 5 minutes or less to set up that can help your kids play independently while you get some stuff done, maybe sneak in a few minutes of work, or even just drink a cup of coffee in peace! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

    Hugs!

    Hi, friend!

    Have you ever felt like something was wrong with you for constantly feeling SO overstimulated and overwhelmed in motherhood, when you’ve dreamed of motherhood for so long? Or do you wonder why keeping up on all the things is simply EXHAUSTING and you’re constantly one tiny step away from just losing it completely, trying to keep all the balls you’re juggling in the air?

    There is an actual PHYSICAL component to overwhelm, overstimulation, even mom rage and I’m so excited to bring my dear friend Rachel Skinner Fernandez onto the show today to share with us her wisdom on all things nervous system and what that means for us as busy moms just trying to keep it together.

    She is sharing practical and SIMPLE shifts to calm your nervous system, get out of fight or flight mode, and heal from anxiety and overwhelm on a very basic level. This was SUCH a good conversation and I know you’re going to walk away with some very practical tools that you can implement TODAY to help you start calming the chaos behind the scenes. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

    Hugs!
