Teenagers Are Like Brussels Sprouts Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Oh the fun analogies Nathan can come up with. As we discuss teenagers - and our relationship with them - this week, we dig into more than just teens as we address labeling our children and the importance of genuine likability.

As always, along with the podcast is a fully developed blog post that will also link to bonus topics with this subject - just hop over to the home page of MamaSaysNamaste.com to see the latest blog post that relates to this episode!

Screentime...or Crab Ankles? Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

In our super connected world, screens can be a love/hate relationship for sure. How does your family manage screen time at home...or does it manage you?

We share some tips for "dummy-proofing" ourselves, things beyond screens, and our own personal stories of both eliminating screens and also using them as something that adds to a home life we all thrive in.

You'll have to hear the podcast to determine how crab ankles may sneak into your home. ;-)

What's best for my kids...or our family? Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, we dig into this listener question -

How do we navigate as empowered, inventional parents the decisions that are "BEST" for our children while listening to them and what they need, while pushing them to do what might be harder?

There was so much to unpack, this week's blog post that goes along with it leads you to multiple other blogs and episodes to dig deeper into the topics of natural consequences, emotional resilience, "adulting" and more.

And...we tackle a biggie for us as parents to release...and something else to retain.

The Secret Exercise Routine No One Is Talking About Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

Think you've heard it all when it comes to exercise? Well we want to talk about a specific type of yoga, actually, and it's not what you may think. Relationship yoga - the balance, the stretch and the pause. How do you exercise your relationships so they stay healthy and thriving?

Can I Afford It? Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

This past week we introduced a game that, ironically, was a "game-changer" in our life. It was a powerful game that shifted our perspective and made one pivotal shift in both semantics and mindset in our lives.

Creating financial literacy at home - helping your children understand about investments, liabilities, assets and more - is something we see as a critical life skill.

Do you - and your children - know how to make money work for the life you want to live? Do you know how to manage it so it doesn't manage you? Listen in.

Living a Life of Ease (And How to Get There) Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

Wow, 201 episodes in, and this is a day to celebrate! 4 years ago today, the Mama Says Namaste podcast was created. 5 years ago today, Mama Says Namaste was officially launched as a business. And 40 years ago today, I was born!

In this episode we look back over the last decade and the crazy shifts we made to get to where we are at this point. Not only do we share more about the mindset and actual shifts in our own lives, but we lay the four essential steps we chose to take to get there.

This episode is truly in response to the many questions we got in this week from our "lessons learned" episode 200! Remember you can always go to MamaSaysNamaste.com to see the latest blog post that goes along with each episode.

If these are resonating with you, my birthday request is that you spread the love and share it with someone else. We speak our hearts each week to give any inspiration and insight we can to help others create the joy in their lives that we are so glad to experience. It's not pure luck. It's very focused intention. If you want it, we're confident you can create it.

Decluttering with Tracy McCubbin May 19, 2021

Show notes

This week is another interview with decluttering expert, Tracy McCubbin! With a super in-depth blog post in addition to this episode, we cover all about why it's important to be clutter-free, as well as how that doesn't mean you have to be a minimalist, where you can donate beyond Goodwill, and how to manage the clutter with toys and family members who aren't quite as tidy.

Real Talk with an 8-year-old Unschooler May 12, 2021

Show notes

My co-host may be a Logsdon this week, but she's a wee bit shorter than her Daddy! Joining me on the podcast is our youngest daughter, Juliet, who share her perspectives from being unschooled her whole life, AND all of her school years full-time RVing the States and learning as we grow.

It's a pretty awesome thing to have your own children impress you, and I'm thrilled to share this episode - the insights out of the mouths of babes can be pretty profound.

Sometimes the best way to ease our fears is to listen to people who have been through it - so this week I wanted to not only talk about my experience as an unschooling parent, but to make space for you to hear from our child's perspective who has only known this lifestyle.

Don't complicate things. Start with getting to know each other - and build an authentic relationship where you live that growth mindset together.

The 90 Day Family Road Trip May 05, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever considered full-time RVing for your family? It can seem like a pretty daunting thing, yet...it's possible. Oh so possible. We're living proof that not only can you do it, you can thrive and really have a blast!

It's not that everything is easy, though. Let's dig in on the biggies you need to consider before you hit the road.
