Pep Talk: Grace Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

We're often our own harshest critics in motherhood.
In this episode, I challenge your perspective and give you 3 action steps to help overcome those moments in motherhood when we feel like we're failing.
We have to learn to start speaking to ourselves the way we would to a friend when she shares her struggles. Because as moms, we juggle so many things at once and it was never intended to be perfect.
You think you're failing, but the reality is that you're a total rockstar. You just don't realize it.
You're doing a really amazing job, mama. I hope this episode reminds you of that!

Pep Talk: Survival Mode Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

We all know it. We've all lived it at some point in time. That flailing your arms, gasping for air, head bobbing above and below the surface feeling...survival mode. It's not fun and it's extremely discouraging to feel as a mom.
Am I really strong enough for this?
Will I ever get through this?
Why do other moms make it look so easy?
The reality is, you are, and you will, but it's not easy. And you're NOT alone.
Every mom has felt it, so why are we so embarrassed of our shortcomings?
There are 3 words I need you to be okay with saying after you listen to today's episode. We're all in this together, mama.

Show notes

This episode is exactly what you need to hear today! I had the privilege of sitting down for an interview with author, actor, and crazy busy mom of 5, Kelli Stuart. Kelli has been through many trials so far in her motherhood journey, including navigating illness with her older children, adoption of their youngest son and learning of his special needs, a cancer diagnosis herself, and now figuring out what the transition of her oldest children into college and the real world looks like from a mom's perspective.
She has an amazing story and is someone whose story you'll definitely want to follow!

Pep Talk: It's Going to Be Okay, Really Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

As moms, we're so afraid to drop a ball or disappoint others. There's no doubt we're an integral component in our family's dynamic, but is everything really going to come crashing down around us if we let something fall to the wayside? Probably not. We're going to step into some humility today because the immense amount of pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect must stop.
We're hardest on ourselves when it comes to all things personal AND motherhood. We have this belief that everyone is paying such close attention to our every move, as if every decision we make is up for judgment, when the reality is...they probably don't care! We have to simply make decisions based on what is best for us and our family unit.
Learn to pick your battles and just keep doing your best to show up every single day. Just don't quit.
Because in the end, it's going to be okay, really.

Pep Talk: No. Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

We no longer have the same 24 hours we did before we were moms, so there's one thing we all must get VERY good at: the word "no."
Every decision we make is either a deposit or a withdrawal from our "bank account" of time, energy, emotion, patience, etc. And every time we say "yes" to something, we say "no" to something else...often ourselves.
We're over scheduled, overstressed, overstimulated as moms because we feel too guilty to say no. We're afraid to go against the crowd. We don't want to hurt feelings.
Go say no, mama. No. Nothing else. Just no.
You were perfectly designed for this role because YOU are the best person suited to raise your small humans. YOU were empowered to protect them, to love them, to support them. YOU have instincts that drive you through every step of this journey.
Don't underestimate the power of the word no, period. Without apology.

Raising Good Humans with Mom and Homesteader, Hannah Burlbaw Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

Today's episode is so fun! I had the opportunity to sit down with homeschooling and homesteading mom of four, Hannah Burlbaw to talk all about raising good humans.
Homesteading and all things that go into it - growing your own food, raising chickens and getting fresh eggs, baking fresh bread - are all the rage lately. We're all waking up and realizing that we want to know what's in our food and develop a more self-sustaining lifestyle. It's the greatest movement to witness, in my opinion.
Hannah shares her journey that led her here, how she balances being an entrepreneur while homeschooling her children, embracing the stay-at-home mom lifestyle, and the beauty of our motherhood role.
I also ask Hannah questions about homeschooling and what she's found that works best for her and her family. If you dream it, you can do it mama. Build your dream life with your babies in your lap!

Pep Talk - Breaking Generational Curses Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

We can all agree that we want our children to turn out better than us, right? I think that's one of the few things we can definitely all agree on as moms actually! And for good reason.
Sometimes this requires breaking some generational curses that our family has passed down over and over. But in order to do this, we have to work on ourselves first. We have to spend time really reflecting and decide how we want to show up, then take action to do so. Because even if you didn't experience trauma in childhood, there's likely things you learned from your own upbringing that you can do better for your own kids.
Our generation is pretty terrible at slowing down, making time for reflection, and spending time on self-improvement. We move at full speed 24/7, from the moment our feet hit the floor in the morning until our head hits the pillow at night. In this episode, I walk you through self-reflection to determine what actions you can take as a mom to break generational curses in your family.
You can be the change, mama. You can change the outcome for your children, grandchildren, and anyone who comes after you in your family tree. You're never alone in this journey of growth. Keep hanging out with us here at MWO and we'll help you get where you want to go, reclaiming your joy and confidence in motherhood.
