Power to Motivate Yourself Using Gretchin Rubin's Four Tendencies Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

How do you handle expectations? Are you a rule follower? A rule breaker? Do you do better when someone else expects you to do something, or are you motivated by your own expectations? We draw from Gretchin Rubin’s Four Tendencies and use that information to help understand yourself and what motivates you. As you discover this, it allows you the freedom to know how to get the things you want in life. You can learn to stop fighting your own nature and instead learn to learn what works.

Patience with Aggressive Behavior, Friendships in Motherhood and Making Peace with Your Inner Landscape Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

We dive into a wide range of listener questions today! We start by exploring what the solitude of 2020 brought into our life, how to come to peace with our inner landscape and find connection where we can. We spend time on a deep dive into one of our most asked questions, dealing with our kids aggression and when they hurt other kids. We can remain calm, lean into emotions AND not become attached and let their emotions control ours. Our children's lives are intimately entwined in ours; this reveals itself in our third listener question about dealing with situations when our kids won't tell us their secret feelings or share their emotions. And finally we explore friendships in mothers, types of friends we need and how to deal with the loss of friendship that is no longer serving you or your child.

Feeling Lost? HOW TO Cultivate Meaning in Our Lives Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.” Victor Frankl

We all want to feel like our life has meaning. It is a deep human need that creates a void when our life feels like it lacks purpose. This desire for meaning crosses through every life station, regardless of economic status, life condition, or level of adversity. Whether you spend your days caring for children, struggling to stay alive from health issues, or have a bustlin EVERYONE wants meaning.

In this episode, we explore how to intentionally cultivate meaning in our life. We dive into Dr. Victor Frankl’s advice of finding meaning through deets, experience, and even suffering itself.
