Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 077.
I’m sad to announce that this is the last episode of the Busy Mom’s Survival Guide for the forseeable future. I’ve been thinking and praying about this decision for a while and with Jim’s help, I’ve decided that I need to stop podcasting for now. It’s my hope that by stopping the podcast, I can free up some time to catch up on some projects (for myself, for the family, and for Goat Milk Stuff) that have been needing my attention for quite a while now.

During this episode, I share ten recurring themes that I found myself repeating during many of my podcast episodes. They are not in any particular order, they are just some thoughts that I think all busy moms (including me) need to be reminded of periodically.

10 Thoughts

Say No – to outsiders, to yourself, and to your children.

Don’t be afraid – don’t live in fear of the unknown or of bad things happening.

Don’t judge other moms or feel the need to compete with other moms.

Enjoy your kids.

Stay in the moment.

Don’t expect perfection – from your kids, from your spouse if you have one, and especially not from yourself.

Take care of yourself and don’t feel guilty for doing it.

Live below your means and make sure you have enough margin.

Train your children – it takes more time, but it’s worth the investment.

Create systems for your life.

And most of all, remember to dream big!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has ever listened to this podcast and reached out to me. It is a huge encouragement to me when something I share in this podcast makes a difference in someone’s life. And remember, although I am not currently podcasting, you can still reach out to me!

During today’s episode, I’m going to talk about the importance of friendships with Carlin Flora, author of the book Friendfluence*.

I read an article a few weeks ago that surprised me. It said that research has shown that if you don’t have enough friends, your risk of dying is the same as if you smoked 15 cigarettes a day.

I wanted to understand better the roles that friendships play in our lives, so I read the book Friendfluence by Carlin Flora*. She was kind enough to join me for this podcast episode so we could discuss what the research and leading psychologists say about the Importance of Friendships.

Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 074.

How often have you found yourself embarrassed by your children’s behavior? I know for me, with 8 children, there have been many times that I have wanted to hang my head in shame over something my children have done. But I know that good parenting means that instead of yelling at my kids for embarrassing me, I need to train them on what the appropriate behavior is.

I talked about this and other issues with Hal Runkel, author of the book Scream Free Parenting* during today’s podcast episode.

Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 073.

I have always said that God gives us children not JUST so that we can raise them, but so that we can finish growing up ourselves. Have you ever found yourself saying, “My children make me want to scream!?” I admit, I’ve said that. And while our children may instigate that feeling in us, they aren’t the ones that make us scream. We do that all on our own. The truth is, becoming a scream-free parent actually has very little to do with our children’s behavior, and everything to do with our own.

Because this is such a huge issue for so many parents, I’m very excited to talk with Hal Runkel today, author of Scream Free Parenting*. I hope that it encourages you that you can gain control over the way you react to your children.

Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 071.
Sibling rivalry is something I think every parent with more than one child deals with. And it can be so frustrating because of how frequently it appears and how much time we spend dealing with it.

But as frustrating as it can be, I know that for me it can also become depressing because as a parent, I truly want my children to be friends as well as siblings. So it is something that I work very hard to ensure doesn’t get out of control.

During today’s episode, I’m going to talk about sibling rivalry with Dr. Todd Cartmell, author of the book, Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry*.

His book is very straightforward with ten steps to improve the relationship between your children. If the sibling rivalry in your family is out of control, I would definitely recommend his book, but only if you’re willing to put in the work that is needed to correct the rivalry. There are no magical words that will fix this issue, but be encouraged that time and effort can definitely make a real improvement.

I’ve spent several months now talking about the importance of studying your children and getting to know their individual strengths and weaknesses as well as their learning styles and love languages. During this podcast episode, I encourage you to study yourself as I talk about parenting styles.

Parenting styles are the “emotional climate” which characterizes your home and the manner in which you raise your children. This differs from parenting practices, which are the specific steps you take to parent your child.

tools for staying fit — Tools For Staying Fit Apr 10, 2014
Show notes

Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 069.
I talk a lot on my blog and podcast about how valuable it is for busy moms to exercise and stay fit. But it’s not important so that we can look good (that’s just a side benefit). It’s important so that we can feel good and so that we can have the energy and stamina we need to thrive in our busy lives as we take care of our family.

During this week’s episode, Brett joins me as we talk about some of the tools that we use to stay fit, as well as our current exercise program.

I’ve always worked very hard to teach my daughter during her teenage years that it is important to exercise and stay fit. But I don’t want her to ever feel that it is all about her outward appearance. It is important to stay fit so that she is healthy, not so that she can look good in a bikini (if she ever chose to wear one).

I’d love to hear what types of exercises you do to stay fit or if that is one of your current struggles.
