062: Toddler Mom Hacks Feb 18, 2022

Show notes

Submission Episode! We recorded this episode a little over a month ago and after listening to it over again (before releasing this week) I was reminded how many great tips you had! Being a mom of babies and toddlers can be a very physically demanding phase of life and all these tips have really come in handy the last few weeks. I feel like this episode perfectly sums up this community of moms- we are in this together and helping one another to more fully enjoy motherhood. Thank you for the submissions!

059: Prioritizing your life! Essentialism by Greg McKeown Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

Do you ever feel like you have so many priorities that the most important ones start to fall through the cracks? The message of reflection, slowing down, and investing in the vital few things in your life seems especially important in our “time starved age”. Greg McKeown walks us through the application of extreme prioritization- in both a career, and personal setting- in his book, Essentialism. In this episode we talk about our takeaways from Greg’s book and how we can apply these principles as mothers.

058: Getting Organized! with Rachel Bright Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

We couldn’t be happier to have Rachel join us for a second episode! She had such a popular episode last year and we had so many questions about her topic that we knew we needed to have her back on to share her expertise on organizing. The new year brings with it the bug to get organized but it can be so hard to know where to start! We asked Rachel for her best tips and steps to organization. This episode gave us the motivation to get started and we hope you feel the same!

057: Keeping a Journal Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Submission Episode! This episode topic was sparked by the desire to record all the special memories and traditions of the holidays. Our kids grow so quickly and we want to be able to document each phase before it’s passed and we can’t recall the magical details. Keeping a journal feels like the habit many put on their goals every January but never make much progress… so we asked for your best journaling tips and favorite prompts. Hopefully this will be helpful for those of you hoping to be a more consistent journal writer this year!

054: There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather by Linda Mcgurk Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is coming at a much needed time as the weather gets colder and the days get darker! This episode is inspired by the book “There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather” by Linda McGurk (a Scandinavian born mother). Throughout the book McGurk makes the argument for kids spending time outside- regardless of “bad” weather- and it gave us just the motivation we needed to shift our mindsets and get outside throughout the winter months. We hope it’s helpful for you and your family throughout this season as well! If you enjoyed this episode of Kindred Conversations please share with your friends by word of mouth and on social media! You can join in the conversation @kindred_conversations, @paris.tews, and @brittanywestoverfrye on Instagram.
