368: Using the Enneagram to Improve Relationships // Kelsey Lincoln Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever thought about using the Enneagram in relationships? If you don’t know what the Enneagram is or haven’t used it much in your relationships, you are in for a real treat! It is an incredible tool for improving relationships, and I am so thrilled to share it with you today!

Now, a little backstory: For as long as I can remember, I've been a sucker for personality quizzes and profiling systems - anything that helps me understand myself and others more deeply.

I think this probably started with taking quizzes in teen magazines with my friends while growing up in the 1990s.😝 (Please tell me you were obsessed with these, too! For nostalgia’s sake, I looked some up and found this one - doesn’t it take you back?)

Even now, in adulthood, I love learning about how I and others think and the differences between how we all move through the world. It fascinates me!

I am excited to share with you a conversation I had with Enneagram expert Kelsey Lincoln who helps us understand how we can use it to improve our relationships. You are going to love it!

367: 3 Ways to Create Lasting Bonds with Your Kids // Mike Westover (Rachel's Dad!) Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

A strong parent-child relationship is so important, but it can sometimes be hard to know how to build one.

It’s my honor to share an interview with my Dad, Mike Westover. He has had, without a doubt, the biggest impact on my life, my mothering journey, and how I am trying to build bonds with my kids.

My dad is and always has been a rock in my life, and I've been trying to get him to come on the podcast for many years, but he would insist, "What would an old man like me have to teach all of the mothers who listen to your show?"

Well, a lot, as it turns out! I know you are going to love this conversation with him as he shares three simple, yet powerful things we can all do to forge a strong parent-child relationship. it's an honor to get to share this piece of my heart with you on this week after Father's Day.

Today, I have a special bonus episode for the moms out there who are trying to work from home this summer, like I am. It can get so intense! It often feels like you’re not doing any of it well, especially with the kids home 24/7.

As I was trying to prepare myself to manage this reality these next few months, I reached out to one of my Self-Assured Motherhood students, who is an expert in this topic, and asked her to record her best three takeaways for us. I hope you find them as helpful as I did!

365: Intentional Fatherhood // Tal Eyre Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

My relationship with my dad is really special. I know firsthand how intentional fatherhood can impact a child’s life.

With Father's Day coming up this week in the United States, I've been thinking a lot about my Dad, so I invited a dad I admire to interview on the podcast.

Now, this podcast is for moms, so why feature an episode about dads? Well, all of us here in this community - whether you’re in the podcast community or you’ve joined my Self-Assured Motherhood program - are working hard to become intentional moms. And moms often ask me, “What can we do to get our husbands on board?”

Unfortunately, there aren’t as many resources about intentional fatherhood out there, so I’m thrilled to introduce my guest to you moms so you have an excellent resource to share with the dads in your life.

My guest is Tal Eyre, and his new book, Dad Mode, reveals some of the key lessons he’s learned about fatherhood.

I’m excited to share with you three of the takeaways from his book in honor of Father's Day!

Show notes

Do you have some fun trips coming up? Are you looking for travel tips for families?

Summer is here, which means that millions of moms - literally! - will be taking trips with their families in the next few months. There will be road trips, family reunions, bucket-list trips, and even day trips.

This season can be so much fun, but it can also be stressful.

Riiiight? Tell me you feel this, too!

This is why I invited Meesha Slade onto my show to share some travel tips for families. Meesha taught a class on family travel at my in-person Self-Assured Motherhood alumni retreat at the end of April. It was so timely for summer that I asked her to come on the show and share her brilliant tips with my entire community. You’re going to love it!

361: How to Make Reading Fun This Summer// Janssen Bradshaw May 20, 2024

Show notes

Knowing how to make reading fun for our kids can be exasperating!

As a kid, I spent hours every day reading in the summer. I'd come home from the library with stacks of books. I was so jazzed when I got my "personal pan pizza" from Pizza Hut after I completed the Summer Reading Program.

Do you remember those days?

My kids are not quite as easily motivated. With summer coming up, I want to find ways to get them into books, but it will take more than the promise of a pizza to get them to dive in. They like to read but don't love it like I did as a kid.

That’s why I’m truly grateful for this interview with reading expert Janssen Bradshaw. She gives strategies for how to make reading FUN this summer. Fun is something my kids can get on board with! I’m excited to share Janssen’s wisdom with you!

The long, hot summer days can be, well, long (womp, womp).
