169: The Internal Voices that Sabotage our Lives with Robin Davis // Part One Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever had thoughts that seem to sabotage your experiences in life? Perhaps you feel like you are constantly beating yourself up about how things are, or maybe you feel like you can’t stop worrying about something even though you know worry isn't helpful. In this episode, we explore the role of thought saboteurs in our lives and how to recognize their voices without letting them control our outcomes with life coach Robin Davis. We go deep into the role of the judging saboteur and how to identify it so it doesn’t rule us.

This episode is the first in a three part series that deal with the voices that both hurt us (saboteurs) and help us (sages).

You can set up a session with Robin by calling or texting her at 801.529.5885

Magic Moment // Receiving Abundant Energy Inside the Exhaustion of Parenting Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

Maybe it’s because we are at the end of the winter season, maybe it’s the world news, but we have noticed that there is a common thread lately with our listeners as they share what’s on their hearts. ‘The common theme we have been hearing is that many parents out there are simply feeling drained and exhausted. Although this is something all parents are familiar with in every season, there just seems to be an extra dose right now. In this magic moment, Felica addresses this exhaustion and gives us several different ideas to try out.

You aren’t alone out there:)

Escaping the Trance of Unworthiness & Finding Self Acceptance Within Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

Many of us live our whole lives with this nagging feeling like there is something wrong with us. Somehow, others are more worthy, have it more together, or understand something about life that we don’t. Tara Brach, author, therapist, and teacher, calls this constant undercurrent of disillusion the trance of unworthiness.

In this episode, we discuss her book, Radical Acceptance, and explore the antidotes she offers to this trance. It is possible to live from a place of accepting reality without judgment. This is a place of recognition, nurturing, and mindfulness.

The book that inspired us:

Review of the week from Emiliyyar:

Finally friends

Motherhood can feel really lonely sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I love and appreciate my real life friends. But this podcast makes me feel like I am not alone. I finally have “friends” that feel the same way about motherhood, goals, and different aspects of my life. I feel like I can have conversations with these gals for hours because I feel like they got it. They feel how I feel.

I look forward to this podcast so I can see what My friends are thinking lately.

Review of the week from Keely Costello:

I have been listening to this podcast for over a year now…To say I’ve become obsessed with it would be a gross understatement. I went through every episode from the very beginning and listened religiously anytime I was in the car, on a walk, or doing housework. The wisdom, simplicity, and genuine connection I feel from these mamas and their souls’ essence, shines through their voices. This podcast is the one that I will recommend to everyone walking this journey of motherhood…

Antidotes to the Traps of Entitlement and Yelling Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

We all want our kids to be grateful when we give them wonderful experiences in life, and it can be alarming when they not only don’t show gratitude, but are full of complaints. In this episode, we address this issue and discuss how we can cultivate gratitude without layering on guilt for our kids.

We also talk about one of our most common questions ever: yelling. It is sooooo easy to get caught up in the habit of yelling, and sometimes we can feel trapped because we don’t know how else to get our kids to listen. We give several concrete strategies to help this common issue, not just a philosophical discussion on the topic.

Strategies for Calming Sibling Conflict Before It Escalates Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

When there is chaos inside our homes it creates an underlying current of frustration. Guilt can often build up as we take sibling relationships on as our responsibility and wonder if our kids will ever get along. Sibling quarrels occur in every family; knowing this can offer us some reprieve, but having the right tools can offer even more! In this episode we discuss the books Siblings without Rivalry and Peaceful Parents Happy Kids in hopes of bringing a comprehensive look at how we can support our children's relationships with each other and foster an environment of peace, love and respect inside our homes.

Review of the week from Beautifulstaple:
I feel SO grateful and thankful to have stumbled on this podcast, well over a year ago now. I look forward to the ladies’ new episodes just as much as my morning cup of coffee. Motherhood to my three little ones has brought a lot of joy and also a lot of loneliness. Finding this podcast and tuning in each week has helped me feel less alone. I like to take the kids to the park and walk. I especially enjoy the vulnerability and honesty they share! Oh and the book reviews! All three of them have very soothing voices to listen to which brings a calm vibe as well. Thank you for all that you ladies do. It is very appreciated and has helped me so much! *tearing up

In this episode, Felica delves into the idea of embracing our children’s flaws.
