378: Principle #3 // Study Your Story [The SAM Framework] Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

My kids are headed back to school soon, and they will be doing all sorts of assessments to see how they're doing in math and reading and writing. And this got me thinking: I need to do a series of mini-podcast episodes during this back-to-school season for moms to assess how they are doing, not with balancing equations or diagramming sentences (because I have a feeling most of us would fail those assessments 🥴), but to assess something way more important: our own levels of emotional wellbeing.

For the next two weeks, Monday-Friday, I will be publishing a mini-episode to introduce you to each of the principles I teach in my Self-Assured Motherhood course, a framework I created for overwhelmed moms. Each principle is an important part of emotional well-being and can help you in your personal assessment of how you're doing.

Today's principle is Study Your Story. It's a deep one, and can be a hard one, but it's so important.

As you go along with this mini-series, you can use this self-assessment I've created to visually assess how you're doing in each of the principles we discuss.

I hope you find this mini-series helpful as you take time to consider your own emotional well-being. I'm rooting for you!

375: 3 Ways Voicing Your Values will Help Lighten your Mental Load // Rachel Nielson on the Happy Mom Summit Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

The mental load of motherhood is heavy, and I am always on the lookout for ways to lighten it.

Can you relate?

A surprising discovery I’ve made throughout the years is how dramatic a difference knowing and voicing our values can make in lightening our mental load as moms. When we know ourselves well enough to know our core values, we are able to decrease stress and pressure and build up the structure and support that we need.

Knowing our core values is key to avoiding mom burnout!

I was really grateful to have the opportunity to discuss this at the Happy Mom Summit with JoAnn Crohn. In the interview, I discussed 3 ways knowing our values can help lighten our mental load, and I’m so excited to share them with you today. I absolutely loved being part of the Happy Mom Summit. I hope you find these takeaways helpful in lightening the mental load of motherhood!

374: Using Values to Guide Your Spending // Jen Smith of Frugal Friends Podcast Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

Values-based budgeting is the key to approaching personal finances without shame and guilt.

Did you even think that was possible?! 🤯

Money is one of those topics that brings up a lot of emotion - usually negative. Guilt, shame, stress, anxiety, frustration… It’s exhausting! We feel guilt and anxiety if we spend. We feel shame if we’re “too stingy.” We feel frustration at ourselves or our situations. Does this sound at all familiar?

I can imagine you nodding in solidarity.

If you’re struggling with the burden of all of these emotions, you’re going to love what Jen Smith has to say. Jen is a personal finance expert and co-host of the top-rated Frugal Friends Podcast. She is also the best-selling author of The No-Spend Challenge Guide and Pay Off Your Debt for Good. She is legit!

373: Teaching Children to Work Without Being a Drill Sergeant // Danielle Porter Jul 29, 2024

Show notes

Are you frustrated trying to figure out how to teach your kids to work? If you’re like me, you bounce around between different systems that are “going to work this time” and feel exasperated when they don’t. I don’t want to be a drill sergeant, but I also know it’s important that my kids grow up with a good work ethic! How do I find the right balance!!??

Thankfully, I was able to interview Danielle Porter. Danielle is a mother of six and someone I admire deeply because she's so careful and intentional in everything she does. I asked Danielle to come and teach me about teaching our kids to work, and to be honest, I was surprised by what she had to share!

I hope you find her takeaways as helpful as I did!

372: How to Have a Creative Hobby (Even if You Think You're Not Creative) // Lisa Funk of Hand Lettered Design Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Do you like the idea of having a creative hobby but don't feel like you'd be good at it?

I don’t consider myself to be an artistic person, but the truth is, I never even attempt art, so how would I know?

We live in a society that is obsessed with productivity and excellence, so we often don’t give ourselves permission to try a new creative hobby just because we want to or because it feels relaxing or fun.

Lisa Funk of Hand Lettered Design believes that the benefits of having a creative hobby go far beyond a beautiful finished product.

I can't wait for you to read what Lisa has to share.

371: 3 Spaces to Organize for the Most Summer Fun // Jen Martin from Reset Your Nest Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

It’s about that time of year when I start to look for home-organizing hacks for the summer.

Are you like me and you feel like clothes are multiplying? 🫨 My kids (and even my husband and I!) are changing clothes multiple times a day between swimming, working, and playing out in the hot sun chasing our dog, Petra.

I am definitely feeling like it's time to get some good systems back in place in our home, and honestly, summer is a great time to do some organizing because we have more free time as a family.

If you're also feeling ready to do a summer reset, my conversation with Jen Martin from Reset Your Nest will give you many great ideas.

370: How to Adventure As a Family // Chamaine Wollenzein Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

Do you love the idea of family adventures but struggle with the actual execution?

Daily life with children is an adventure in and of itself, and sometimes, that's all we can manage. But sometimes, we are in seasons where we want to get out into the world more together.

That's why I'm so excited about this special encore episode, so I can share this fantastic interview I did with Chamaine Wollenzein, in case you missed it the first time. She is inspiring!

Oh, and if you're not a hiker or camper, don't worry - this episode is still for you! Chamaine and I discuss how a family adventure is any type of shared experience that is out of the ordinary. You get to do you!

369: How to Teach Your Kids about Money // Abby Chipman Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

Are you struggling to know how to teach your kids about money?

Financial literacy for kids is so critical - we all know that. But it can also be overwhelming!

That’s why many parents (myself included!) have questions about (and maybe even some guilt over 🫣) how to teach their kids about money.

I have often felt like I'm not doing enough in this area, but I've also felt stuck and wondered where I can get started with it all.

Can you relate? 🙇‍♀️

If so, you're going to love this episode with Abby Chipman. Abby is the finance director for 3 in 30, and she is a queen at managing finances as well as teaching budgeting skills to her family and those in her community.

She recently taught a class about financial literacy for kids at a retreat I had for the Self-Assured Motherhood program alumni. The women at the retreat loved it so much that I asked her to bring her three takeaways here so we could all learn from her. Enjoy!
