Show notes

Is comparison stealing joy in your life? So Rachel Cruz's episode from 2018 is one of the most downloaded episodes for the Mom Inspired Show so I am kicking off December "Best Of" with her episode. If you missed it the first time around I know you will enjoy this. If you have already heard this episode, I find when you listen to something more than once you learn different things since you are in a different phase of life than when you first heard it! Rachel and I discuss everything from how comparison is killing us, and that social media makes it super easy to to feel like we don’t have enough! Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media wishing you had a different house, maybe you feel like you are the only one that doesn’t go on vacations as much as you like or have fabulous friends? Rachel shares with us that she too can fall into this trap. She shares a story about coming home from a vacation and then getting on social media to find someone that she follows on Instagram on vacation and feeling like she is missing out, yet she just got home from a vacation! We also talk about saving money so that you can have the life that you truly want. One story that stood out to me was when Rachel was talking about saving for college and how expensive it can be to send your kids. She shares with us that college is a blessing not an entitlement and if you are not able to pay for your kids college that doesn’t make you a bad parent!

She challenges us to shorten our to do list so we can have more time with our family and for ourselves. She points out that if we don't keep refilling our cup we will have nothing to give to our loved ones. Jaclyn also talks about letting go of what was normal and creating new traditions.

Keeping our sanity during the holidays series: Daily Routines : Tracy Nolin Beerman: 213 Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

What mini habits can you put in place to help you through the holidays? Today we have Tracy Nolin Beerman on the show to talk about the daily routines that she has implemented in her life to help her feel her best! I wanted her to come on to give us some ideas on how to best set up our day to feel less frazzled! Tracy is going to share with us 4 simple daily practices to help busy moms. The first practice is walking, not only does it do your body good but it also increases cognitive performance in the brain and reduces stress. She shares with us how she does a 30 minute walk especially out in nature and how it does wonders. The second one is yoga, and bare with me before you blow this off. She talks about how yoga helps connect our mind, body and soul, she has been doing it for 30 years and finds that she always returns to the mat. She shares with us that she has ADD and it helps her to be still and calm her mind. She keeps it to a 10 minute routine, and it helps lubricate your joints. The third practice is meditation, and she calls it her mental hygiene. The practice is bringing your mind back to this moment whenever it wanders and this too helps reduce stress. Lastly is journaling and doing mind work. She focuses on thoughts that feel good and it helps her connect with her vision. One story that stood out to me is when her son was 3 years old, he was exhibiting her least favorite character traits. She realized that he was mirroring her and reading her like a book, and that was a pivotal moment in her life and she knew she needed to change her legacy. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Show notes

Do you wish you were better at planning in regards to the Holiday Season when it comes to your stress level? Today we have Jenny Stemmerman back on the show to kick off our keeping our sanity during the holiday series! I wanted to start off this series with Jenny because she has created a Holiday Sanity course that is free so she really knows how to get in the right head space for the holidays! Jenny shares with us that one of the most important things to do when it comes to helping your stress level during the holidays is to plan! Now, she doesn't mean to plan every single thing and be rigid but to have an idea of what is important to you and your family and why you want to do certain things for the holidays! She explains how planning is self-care and that it sets us up for success so that it takes the burden off of us as moms. Jenny was also sharing with us to know our "why" when it comes to doing certain things. Sometimes it can be very easy to just do things because everyone else is doing them or you feel pressured to do them but if you don't really care about certain things then don't keep them on your list. One thing that stood out to me is what she really loves to do during the Christmas Holidays to start her day off on the right foot. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Discovering your personal style: Allison Hamilton-Rohe: 211 Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Do you find it hard to figure out what your personal style is now that you have had kids? Today we have personal style coach Allison Hamilton-Rohe on the show to talk about starting a business as a mom and why she chose being a stylist! She wanted to create a process to help women figure out their personal style. She was sharing with us that one of the biggest obstacles that many women face is that were believing that it is suppose to be effortless. So then when it's not effortless we feel shame around the way we look and that were suppose to look a certain way and know how to do this and we are left feeling helpless. Allison mentioned that American women tend to have bursting closets and yet feel like they have nothing to wear, who can relate to that one? She encourages us, to let go of the things that don't look good or we don't wear and stop buying things that don't work for us. I asked Allison if she could pick one store to shop at and why, this is what she had to say, Nordstrom. The reason why is because of their size inclusivity, value, clothes are well made as well as their amazing customer service and great price points. She emphasized to spend a little bit more on an item that will last a few years vs. fast fashion that will only last a few wears before it starts falling apart. I also wanted to touch on "how do we want to show up in the world via Zoom?", what can we wear to make ourselves feel great? Also how accessories are really the key to putting an outfit over the top and feeling polished and put together. Lastly, I asked her what her all time favorite jeans that she recommends for everyone! Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are we oversharing our kids lives online? Elaine Kasket: 210 Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever wondered if your kids like their information and pictures posted online? Today we have psychologist Elaine Kasket on the show to talk about sharenting and online privacy and how she learned the hard way that her daughter didn't want her life documented online! We live in a unprecedented time in technology and we have to make decisions that our parents didn't have to even think about. If you grew up in the 80's and 90's we didn't have little computers in our pockets that we now call cell phones, we barely even had flip phones. There was no Facebook, Instagram, Blogs, YouTube to post our information to. When our parents wanted to share pictures they would have to carry them around in their wallet, or mail our school photo or baby photo to our family members and friends. Elaine shares with us that our kids lives are being shared online before they are even born by posting sonogram pictures. Elaine tells us about her journey being online and how much she was sharing about her daughter from the photos to the funny things she would say. She found herself excited when people would give her positive feedback on a certain post, which then made her want to keep posting. I thought it was interesting when Elaine mentioned that she had to start questioning why she wanted to post stuff, was she feeling lonely and wanted to connect, was she simply bored, she talks about being intentional when it comes to the reasons to why you want to post information or pictures. She also mentioned that once you post stuff online it is very difficult to get it off. One topic that really stood out to me that I didn't even think about are companies like 23 and Me and Ancestory.com not only are you sharing your information, now your family line has been shared! She talks about how that could cause issues that people may not even think about. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.
