16. The "You Can't" Monster: What It Is and How to Combat Yours Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever heard of affirmations? I do them with my kids. Having once been told by a classmate that my nose looks like I ran into a wall (true story), it dawned on me one day when my kids were really little that one day some mean kids might tell my innocent little babies that they’re dumb. Or weird. Or bad at sports. You know—the stuff that gets you doubting how awesome you are.
If you hear those lies long enough, you start to forget that you’re powerful beyond measure. You stop believing you’re wonderfully made. Instead, you start believing that you're not good enough, that you don’t have time for yourself, that you can’t afford it, you don’t deserve it, you won’t be any good at it.
Some people call this imposter syndrome. I call it the “You Can’t" Monster.
Tune in to hear more about why we all have one, and what you can do to combat yours when she shows up.

The Art of Saying "No" Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Did you know that "No" is a complete sentence? And it's ok to say it! So often as moms we say yes to things that aren't serving us or adding to the fullness of our lives. The result? Too much on our plates and less time for ourselves and the people we love.
In Episode 15, we talk about why we do this and how we can finally stop (without losing our friends)!

What to Do When the Mean Girls Attack Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we discuss how the mean girls usually attack, and what you can do when it happens to you.

Prioritizing Your Marriage Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

On top of everything we moms have to do, buy, cook, wash, bandage, snuggle and mend, is it any wonder that romance and date nights can often take a backseat when it comes to sorting out our priorities?
In this episode, we get real about why prioritizing your relationship with your spouse or significant other is so important for your mom life, and why that relationship (and not your relationship with your kids) should actually be the primary one in your household.

Show notes

Spunky money maven, Yvonne Jimerson of Redefining Posh, gives Nikki some tough love about having the right money mindset in this episode of the Love Your Mom Life podcast.
As moms, we often don't think twice when it comes to spending money on our families or our kids. But when it's time to invest in ourselves or dish out dough to make our own lives easier? Most of us tend to cringe and tell ourselves that we "can't" afford it or that we "shouldn't" spend money on ourselves. But those kinds of limiting beliefs about money actually aren't serving us!
Yvonne, an experienced accountant who now helps professional women get out of debt, explains what it means as a woman and a mom to have the "right" money mindset. Tune in to hear all about it, and about where imposter syndrome and personal finances may be intersecting in your own mom life.
