Mom On Purpose Foundations: Becoming Her Mar 27, 2024

What's on your heart right now that keeps you up at night? Whatever it is, you deserve to work through it and create the life you want.

Your brain is wired to repeat the past, so unless you learn tools that show you how to change, you'll do more of the same. This means if you're constantly overwhelmed, you'll continue to be overwhelmed, unless you show your brain and body how to be different.

In this podcast, you'll learn the process of change, how to BECOME the woman you want to be.

You more than deserve to create a future that is better than your wildest dreams. Whether you want internal change (like becoming less anxious) or external change (like losing weight), in this podcast you'll learn the "Becoming Her" process that shows you how to go from where you are now to where you want to be.

Mom On Purpose Foundations: Negative Thoughts Mar 06, 2024

Negative thoughts about motherhood are automatic because of how the brain works and because of the way we've been taught to think about being a mom.

If you buy into the "overwhelm narrative," feel like your life is happening to you, or any other negative thought pattern that is pervasive in motherhood, you are not alone! In fact, you're right on track with most. The problem is that track is headed for a lot of unhappiness, or at the least, happiness that is dependant on things outside of your control (like your kids).

There is SUCH a better a way.

You can get control over your negative thoughts as a mom, so you feel better, happier, and more fulfilled.

In this episode, you'll learn how to identify your negative thoughts and change them so you can show up as the mom you want to be.

Mom On Purpose Foundations: Feelings Feb 28, 2024

Feelings play a huge role in your life. Your feelings are valid. Your overwhelm is valid. Your worry is valid. And it's not who you are. You are an amazing, incredible mom. You just haven't learned how to think of feelings as a skill that you can get really good at. When you learn how to think about feelings differently (with a completely different mindset) and you increase your capacity to validate your feelings, not only do you show up more as the mom you want to be, but you simultaneously help your kids, too. When your child is feeling upset about their friends, for example, you'll know exactly how to support them because you understand feelings. This skill is learnable and a total game changer for your life and your kid's lives. Tune into this podcast to learn how you can help yourself and your kids with feelings.

How To Reflect On The Year As A Mom Dec 13, 2023

In the busyness of the season, it's easy to forget about reflection. This is because it's hard to pause and remember what happened in the last year given everything going on in the daily logistics of being a mom. It just ends up not being a priority. But if you want to make long lasting changes in the future, like stop yelling at your kids or lose the baby weight or anything in between, it's actually important to start with reflecting on the past. The way you think about your past has a huge impact on how you approach future goals and transformations. For that reason, doing a year end reflection is powerful as well as helpful.

In this episode, you'll learn why it's important to do a year end reflection as a mom as well as twenty questions to ask that you can journal about or answer on the go that will help you actually do the reflection.

The way you think about last year matters. Learn how to create last year's story on purpose in this episode.

Who's To Blame? May 17, 2023

When life throws a curve ball and there's a new challenge you're presented with, how do you handle it? If you're like me and most of my clients, the tendency is to look for someone to blame—blame towards someone else, blame towards the world, or blame towards yourself.

While, yes, it's true that people need to be held accountable for their actions, we often take this too far, looking for someone to take responsibility for our feelings. We blame other people and the world for how we feel. When we can separate out other people's actions from our feelings, we become empowered.

Sometimes, there's isn't someone to blame at all. It's just the way things go. Getting to a place of acceptance can be very powerful for working through challenges with in-laws, in marriage, and more.

In this episode, you'll learn the down side of blame and what to do instead so that you can feel better and work through hard times.

Who Do You Want To Be In Your Circumstances? Apr 19, 2023

Often, we can't choose our circumstances. Whether it's a health diagnosis, in-law dynamics, struggles our kids are experiencing, or something else, life often deals a hand that you wouldn't choose for yourself. Sometimes, life is just hard.

On default, the human brain wants to look externally to solve these challenges by changing other people or what's happening in the world. It goes into "fix it" mode. The problem with this is that it often leaves you feeling miserable and it doesn't work.

We can't control what other people say or do, much like we can't control the weather. We can, however, control who want we to be in any circumstance, even the hardest of them.

Training your brain to look inward at "who you want to be" in a challenging circumstances is the most useful way to navigate life's hardest times. In this episode, you'll learn the skills to do just that, so you can show up as the empowered woman you want to be.

Mom Tantrums Mar 15, 2023

We all know that little kids and toddlers have tantrums, but did you know that adults have tantrums, too? It's true. And even though we don't typically call them "tantrums" that's exactly what happens when we feel emotionally dysregulated.

We end up comparing ourselves to other moms, thinking we're not good enough, and even worse, looking to our kids happiness to define our value and worth. Instead of using standards that lead to more mom guilt, I share a new way of thinking about what it means to "be a good mom."

Instead of feeling like you're failing, not measuring up, always behind, and lacking in some way, you can use mindfulness tools to redefine your value as a mom in a way that feels empowering. Then, you can use this standard to check in and evaluate how you're doing over time.

In this episode, I teach a new framework for measuring "good mom" as well as share the specific way I use the framework in my own family.
