Friendships among women have been celebrated for centuries, from the legendary bonds of Thelma and Louise to the fearless quartet of Ryan, Sasha, Lisa, and Dina, Girls Trip, or Annie and Lillian in Bridesmaids.

These stories, while fictional, echo a universal truth: female friendships are an essential part of life, a source of support, laughter, and wisdom.

However, as time passes, our lives inevitably change. We move to different cities, pursue varied careers, and embark on different life journeys. Amidst these transitions, friendships can sometimes take a backseat, leaving us yearning to reconnect with the friends who once knew us best.

In this episode, we’ll delve into the art of women rekindling their friendships, exploring their profound impact on their lives. So, this episode is for you whether you're a woman contemplating reaching out to a long-lost friend or simply curious about the magic of rekindling.

[212] Prioritizing Yourself WITHOUT Feeling Guilty with Kate House Sep 12, 2023

Many of us have been raised and grown up to see those around us give themselves selfishly every day and sometimes even make themselves responsible for other's happiness. As a result, many moms feel guilty when they are putting themselves first and not others.
At one time or another, you probably felt guilty when you made yourself a priority. You know, when you want to get out of the house without your kids and have some alone time, but your kids begin to cry and beg and plead for you not to go.
Or maybe you felt it when you're playing with your kids and felt guilty about being bored to have to read that book again or help build that blog tower.
There's a way to prioritize yourself without feeling guilty. My guest today, Kate House, shows us how to do just that. Kate is a coach and the podcast host of Live by Design, where she helps women get out of overwhelm and get unstuck so that they can live by design and not by default.
In this episode, you'll learn how to prioritize self-care daily so that your mind, body, and soul are nourished, all by doing small habits and routines.

A TV Show with a POSITIVE Portrayal of a Stepmom Sep 07, 2023

If you haven't already listened to Episode 211, with Michaela, you've got to check it out!
But before you do, I had this quick clip from the conversation. And this actual clip was actually deleted only because it didn't really fit with what was going on with the conversation we had in Episode 211.
Michaela and I had an instant connection over a TV show called Instant Mom. Instant Mom became one of my favorite shows over the summertime because it was really, really fun to watch. And it has Tia Mowry, one of my favorite actors, who I love back when she was in Sister Sister.
One thing that I've noticed is that, especially in a lot of the Disney movies, stepmoms have a bad rap. As a result, being a stepmom isn't something that we would aspire to be.
I wanted to drop this quick clip on what Mikayla had to share about Instant Mom.

Summertime comes wanting to try out some new hobbies, indoors or outdoors.
I'm pretty sure the kids have probably asked you to go ahead and buy a canoe or new rackets to play racquetball or tennis. Or maybe they wanted to do some knitting or build a Lego castle.

[[REWIND]] [189] Simple Ways to Keep Your Child Safe Online Jul 04, 2023

One thing that gets me during the summertime is how much the kids are on their devices. I feel like the kids are on their devices SO much more than usual. Do you notice this too?

It's really concerning, mainly when they use apps and communicate with others like Instagram and Facebook. It's scary to think about what some of the kids may be exposed to.

So how can we keep our kids safe online?

How can we do better about monitoring what they're consuming?

How can we ensure they are not being bullied or not getting into content that may be getting them depressed or causing them other mental health issues?

These are all questions that I know you have and have the answers to, thanks to my guest, Cathy. If you're like me and you want to keep your child safe online this summer, this episode is for you.

[[REWIND]] [172] How to Get Aligned with Your Priorities and Reach Your Goals with 15 Minutes May 02, 2023

Do you feel like there is never enough time in the day to get things done? It doesn't help when you hear gurus tell you to prioritize it and you will get it done. You have so many priorities, and it can get pretty stressful trying to sort things out as a mom. My guest, Cara Harvey, is here to help.

In this episode, we unpack some of the topics in her new book, The 15-Minute Formula. This book is what you need because it is a productivity book geared toward moms. Typically, most productivity books are written by men, which is excellent, but they don't consider many of the struggles of us moms.

In addition, Cara shares her story and how she even got started with A Purpose Driven Mom. And then what led her to write the book, The 15-Minute Formula. She also talked about priorities with us and how to use micro priorities, which was something new that I learned from her. And then, lastly, we talked about seasons. How can we be more aligned in our life by knowing what season we're in and setting things up so that we can be more aligned with the season we're in versus trying to jam-pack our days, weeks, and months with things and burn ourselves out? So if you are looking for different ways of being more productive, you must listen to this episode.

How many times have said yes or committed to something only to find out it takes more time and energy than your expected? When you compound this with other commitments, you end up stressed, burned out, resentful, and overwhelmed.

In this episode, I will share a simple way to get out of the habit of saying yes to everyone so that you have more time and less stress.

[201] It's Okay to Stop Doing it All Mar 21, 2023

I was talking to a mom that was completely overwhelmed and was almost in tears with all of the demands she had in her life.
She wanted some relief because she hadn’t had a break for weeks. Then after she realized that she was the only one talking, she asked me about what I do for work and what the kids are into.
After telling her that I work full time, I’m a reservist in the Navy, run Real Happy Mom, and started a business with my husband, she looked at me like a unicorn and asked me how I do it all.

The truth is … I don’t. In this episode, I brought my friend, Alicia Cohen, to share how doing it all is robbing us of freedom and happiness. Plus, how we can shift out of doing it all.

[REWIND] [172] How to Get Aligned with Your Priorities and Reach Your Goals with 15 Minutes Dec 06, 2022

Do you feel there is never enough time to get things done in the day? It doesn't help when you hear gurus tell you just make it a priority and you will get it done. You have so many priorities, and it can get pretty stressful trying to sort things out as a mom. My guest, Cara Harvey, is here to help.

In this episode, we unpack some of the topics mentioned in her new book called The 15 Minute Formula. This book is what you need because it is a productivity book geared toward moms. Typically, most productivity books are written by men, which they're great, but they don't take into account a lot of the struggles of us moms.

In addition, Cara shares her story and how she even started with A Purpose Driven Mom. And then what led her to write the book, The 15-Minute Formula. She also talked about priorities with us and how to use micro priorities, which was something new that I learned from her. And then lastly, we talked about seasons and how we can be more aligned in our life by knowing what season we're in and setting things up so that we can be more in alignment with the season we're in versus trying to jam-pack our days, weeks and months with things and burn ourselves out. So if you are looking for ways to be more productive, you have to listen to this episode.

[185] How to Escape the Body Comparison Trap This Summer Jun 21, 2022

One of the things that I absolutely love about the summertime is going to the beach. And whenever I go to the beach, I will catch myself looking around and seeing some other women and their cute little swimsuits and thinking, "Oh, well, I don't look as good as she doesn't my swimsuit." Or "I wish I could wear a swimsuit like that, but my stomach would look terrible in that."
Then I start going down this rabbit hole of comparing my body to everyone else's. And you've probably been there and have gotten into this comparison trap, especially when it comes to your bodies. But I want you to know, first of all, that you're not alone.
Today, I'm going to share with you some tips on how we can do better about this comparison game with my guest. We are breaking down some of the ways that we can escape the body comparison trap this summer. So if you're like me, and you want to do better about this comparison trap, stay tuned to this episode.

[181] Empowering Your Kids About Money May 24, 2022

53% of adults are financially anxious. That is a statistic that makes me nervous. It also makes me uneasy to think that my kids could grow up to be a part of the statistic.
The truth is we can teach our kids financial literacy so that they know how to budget and have emergency savings for a rainy day. But where do you start if you have no clue?
Start with this episode.
In this episode, my guest breaks things down to be the simplest form when it comes to talking to our kids about money. My guest is Dr. Caroline Clerisme who is known for helping doctors get a game plan and pay off their student loan debt. In this episode, she shares:

How we can start to talk to our kids about money
How we can start to introduce those conversations, especially if we're not confident in finances.
The difference between financial freedom and generational wealth, and why it's so important for us to be working towards both of those things.

So if you're like me and want to get a bit better at having these conversations with your little ones, stay tuned to this episode.
ABOUT CAROLINE

[179] Tips for Writing Your Own Family Success Story May 10, 2022

Raising awesome kids is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Partly because it is the only job that you don't get an instruction manual when you start. And because every child is different and requires different approaches and needs.

As result, every family is different. But you can still have a family success story without doing things the way everyone else does. That is what this episode is all about. In this episode with my guest Nellie, she shares:

Her story of how she even got started by helping other families with gaining that success in their families
How we can start to develop our own family fingerprint and create a manual for our own families
How we can begin to use the self-discipline leadership with our kids so that they can begin to grow into awesome human beings that are happy and joyful
About discipline, which is something that I know there can be a lot of controversy about but she brings some really great points

If you want to improve, strengthen or even start developing your family success story check out this episode.

[176] How to Tame the Busyness of Motherhood Using Life Seasons Apr 26, 2022

Feeling super busy? Like there is no time to breathe or pee? Check out this episode with my guest Alicia. She shares how you can identify the season that you are in your life so that you can get rid of the busyness.
Because I'll be honest with you, there are many times that I go through different seasons in life and think, Oh, if I just push a little harder, or if I just keep going and just grind it out, everything will eventually work itself out. And all I do is set myself up for burnout, exhaustion, and just setting myself up to be really crabby and not a nice person to be around.
Once you're able to understand what season you're in, you'll be able to adjust and shift. And you'll notice that things will flow a lot easier in your life.
So if you are like me are feeling like you just got a lot going on. And you're still just trying to like push through. Make sure that you listened to this episode with Alicia. We talk about what season we're in, as well as how we can begin to shift things when we identify the season that we're in. Then she gives us some things that we can think about so that we can begin to make things easier for ourselves so that we don't have to push ourselves to burnout.

[175] How to Make It to the End of the Day with Your Sanity Intact Apr 19, 2022

Let's just be honest, as moms, it seems like we have a million and one things to do. And there never seems to be enough time. Especially time to do things that we enjoy unless we are very, very intentional about getting those things done.
My guest Alyssa shares how we can be more like her in finding time every day for herself. And she does it with multiple kids around. 5 kids to be exact! And yeah, she still has time for herself every single day.
I want you to hear how she does it and see if some of the things that she shared, you can begin to implement. I know a lot of times you can hear these stories and think, yeah, that's simple for you, but I have this going on. And yes, that's true. But hear her out and listen to some of the techniques that she uses to get things done in the house as well as make sure that she has time for herself as a busy mom. This will leave you with your sanity intact at the end of the day.
ABOUT ALYSSA
Alyssa is a minimalism junkie, God follower, introvert, and perpetual bookworm. (Oh, and mom of 5.) She has 11+ years’ experience balancing multiple kids while still getting time to recharge. This is why she specializes in simplifying life for introverted moms (aka your stuff, your sanity, and your schedule). Because afterwards? You get to go make a difference in the world (and enjoy your kids a heck of a lot more!).

[173] A Simple Practice That Can Help You Stay Sane and Fight Off Mom Guilt Apr 05, 2022

I'll be honest with you, when I first hear the word meditation, I immediately think of someone sitting down, crisscross applesauce, on the floor, with their hands on the knees, closing their eyes, and probably humming.
But that's not at all what meditation really is. Many times we think, oh, no, I can't do meditation because it's supposed to look a certain way (and it looks weird). Or it's for a certain group of people.
But meditation is something that I have learned through my guest, Kelly, that has so many benefits and looks different for different people. My biggest takeaway from Kelly is that meditation helps me to realize that my thoughts are just thoughts.
A lot of times we think that the thoughts that pop into our mind are actual truth. In reality, it's not. Many times it's just little things firing off in your brain. It's not necessarily truth. Plus, meditation helps you be more productive. Ready to find out how? Check out the full episode to learn more.

[172] How to Get Aligned with Your Priorities and Reach Your Goals with 15 Minutes Feb 24, 2022

Do you feel like there is never enough time in the day to get things done? It doesn't help when you hear gurus tell you just make it a priority and you will get it done. You have so many priorities and as a mom, it can get pretty stressful trying to sort things out. My guest, Cara Harvey, is here to help.

In this episode, we unpack some of the topics mentioned in her new book called The 15 Minute Formula. This book is what you need because it is a productivity book geared towards moms. Typically, most productivity books are written by men, which they're great, but they don't take into account a lot of the struggles of us moms.

In addition, Cara shares her story and how she even got started with A Purpose Driven Mom. And then what led her to write in the book, The 15 Minute Formula. She also talks about priorities with us, and how to use micro priorities, which was something new that I learned from her. And then lastly, we talked about seasons and how we can be more aligned in our life by knowing what season we're in, and actually setting things up so that we can be more in alignment with the season we're in versus trying to jam pack our days, weeks and months with things and just burn ourselves out. So if you are looking for some different ways of being more productive, you have to listen to this episode.

ABOUT CARA
Cara is a wife, mom to a 15-year-old stepson, 6-year-old daughter, 4-year-old son, and a woman of God. She works as a mom empowerment coach and her mission is to provide women with the tools, resources, and community to reach their goals, empower themselves, find their happiness, and live a life by design. She does this via her blog, podcast, virtual community groups, and e-courses that help women learn to balance their lives, finances, schedules, health, and themselves!

[170] Tips and Strategies I Learned to Pay Off ALL My Credit Cards Fast By Changing One Thing Feb 15, 2022

One thing that I have never been proud of in my life is my finances. In particular, the debt that I had accumulated since dental school. I literally would have a panic attack anytime I looked at my student loan balances. As a result, I stopped looking at them. It is silly when I think about it because I know that I could never get my student loans paid off in a reasonable amount of time if I didn't even know the balance.
After struggling alone I got a money coach that has changed my life forever. I met and started with working with Rho after seeing her own success with paying off her student loan debt in a short amount of time. Now that I have paid off my credit credits totaling over $20,000 before my goal of 9 months, I have to let you in on the secret.
In this episode, Rho and I are having a conversation about our journey together that lead to this milestone. The biggest thing that Rho helped me with was my mindset. Something we talk about extensively in this episode. In addition to tackling my mindset, Rho helped me to get a budget together to tackle my goals and ultimately helped me to pay off my credit card, plus one of my student loans all within a six-month period!
If you want to know the secret that Rho helped me unlock to pay off my credit cards fast, you have to check out this episode.
ABOUT RHO
Rho Thomas is an attorney and financial coach who believes that true wealth is having control of your time. She helps lawyers make intentional lifestyle and money decisions to regain control of their time, build wealth, and live the lives of freedom and choice they deserve.

[169] When and How to Get Started Teaching Your Baby Sign Language Feb 08, 2022

Communication is so important, especially when we are communicating with our kids. When our kids are little it seems like most of the time we get things right because of intuition. But what if your child could communicate with you clearly as young as 9 months old? I know it would make my life a whole lot easier.
In today's episode, we are talking all about using sign language to communicate with our children. This is something that I have grown a passion for only because, one, there are several patients of mine who are actually deaf or hard of hearing and use sign language. And, two, my son has a love for sign language because that is his preferred way of communicating.
In this episode, my guest Lauren shares:

How she got started learning signing language
How early we can start teaching our babies to sign language
What signs we should start teaching your babies when they are first learning sign language
Why we should use sign language to teach toddlers about their feelings
Resources to get you started learning sign language

[167] Feeling Unfulfilled At Work? Tips for Having the Career of Your Dreams Without Sacrificing Your Income. Jan 25, 2022

Is your current job stressing you and unfulfilling? Maybe it's time to do something different. But the thought of changing careers or getting another job makes you nervous. I get it. You have a family to provide for and bills to pay. But at the end of the day, sacrificing yourself is only going to drain you to the point that my guest, Blake, experienced.
If you are ready to at least consider stepping into a fulfilling career, you have to listen to this episode. In this episode, Blake shares:

Her story and breaking point with her career
How to get unstuck without feeling like your being irresponsible and putting your family at financial risk
A tool you can use to get out of the cycle of exhaustion and burnout
How to get clarity on what your next career maybe

Blake shares gems that help you stop going to an unfulfilling job that leaves you burned out and exhausted. Check out the full episode to learn how.

ABOUT BLAKE
Blake Schofield is the Founder of Connections Illuminated, a mom of three & a former corporate executive who spent 18 years in Corporate America building, growing & turning around 8 & 9 figure businesses. Despite her success, Blake constantly found herself feeling unsettled, chasing the next job or promotion to "make it better" so she could finally do fulfilling work and be able to have the time she wanted to have a less stressful & more present family life. After two cross-country moves and increasing frustration that every job seemed to be more of the same, she finally realized that the career she was in no longer fit. Blake's personal journey through three career changes, years of seeking the right path for her life, overcoming the fear & doubt of forging a new path, & successfully building and running her own multi six-figure business is the basis of the work she does every day: helping other driven, heart-centered professional women, who are at a career crossroads, transition into more fulfilling work & have more time with their family without taking a big pay cut or starting over.

[166] Feel like you don't measure up? Listen to this! Jan 18, 2022

There is one game that I am sure that all moms have played. That game is the comparison game. You know when you look at another mom and think that she is better than you because she is skinner than you and makes perfect Pinterest-worthy lunches every day for her kids. Or maybe it is subtle, like when you're at work and think that Becky's house must be so much cleaner than yours because her desk is always organized. Those comparison thoughts mess with us all.
So what do you do when you are comparing and feel like you don't measure up?
First, listen to this episode with my guest Laurie from This ORGANIZED Life. She shares:

Her experience with why moms compare themselves and begin to feel like they don't measure up
Practical tips to help get unstuck when you feel like you don't measure up
Underlying issues that we may have when we feel like we don't measure up.

Are you ready to change the narrative and start feeling empowered? Listen to this episode now.

[165] How to Talk to Your Kids About Special Needs + How a Mom Advocated For Her Special Needs Son Jan 11, 2022

What do you do when the doctors tell you this is as much engagement as you will get from your child and he will never walk? Do you accept the doctor's report or find another way?
My guest, Dr. Chloe Weber, experienced this and decided not to accept that her son would never walk. Chloe shares her story with me and reminds me that we have an intuition that always knows best for our children as mothers.
In this episode, Chloe and I have a conversation about being an advocate for your child, no matter the cost. Chloe shares:

Her response was when the doctor told her, "this is as much engagement as you will get from Remy, and he will never walk."
How non-medical professionals approach their child's diagnosis
How she taught people around her about her son's diagnosis and dealt with their judgment
How to have a conversation with your child about kids with special needs without being awkward.

ABOUT CHLOE
Chloe is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, founder and CEO of Radical Roots herbs, and a solo mama to a 7-year-old boy named Remy. Chloe's son was diagnosed with a rare and debilitating genetic disorder at 2.5, and the two of them have been on a wild ride searching for answers and finding joy in unexpected places.

[164] Feeling Stressed and Anxiety? 4 Steps to Go From Stressed to Relaxed and Ready. Jan 04, 2022

Happy New Year! I am wishing you an awesome and prosperous new year. Instead of talking about goals at the beginning of the year, I am switching it up.
I want to talk about something that we all deal with. From the board room to the home and in our relationships. The thing that I am talking about is stress. Stress pops up during almost any event or thought. Stress can be positive. The reason why I say this is because stress is what helps you deal with challenges and deadlines. But if stress is not managed well, stress can be detrimental to your health.
After dealing with stress in a positive way, I have come up with a four-step process to help with dealing with stress so that you don't lose your cool. Check out this episode with learning the four-step process so that you can put it into practice and manage your stress well this year.

[REWIND] [118] Breaking the Cycle of the 'All or Nothing Mentality' and Living Empowered with Shawna Scafe Dec 28, 2021

Have you ever thought, "I might as well not exercise today since I ate all those cookies today." Or maybe you have thought "If I can't declutter my house, why start at all."
This is all or nothing thinking. When you view things as zero to 100. This type of thinking causes you to look at extremes and forget about options 1-99.
You can see this in trying to implement self-care, meal planning, stress coping and so many other areas of your life if you pay attention. So what's the problem with thinking like this?
It affects what we choose to do or not do, how we show up, and how we talk to ourselves.
This is why my guest, Shawna, is here to help us. In this episode we talk about:

What is this all or nothing mentality
How the all or nothing mentality can show up in our lives
What steps that we can take to shift the all or nothing mentality
How to be more intentional and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings daily

If you are ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mentality, check out this full episode.

[REWIND] [152] Simple Steps to Be More Productive from the Productivity Fairy God Mother Dec 07, 2021

Sometimes getting up and getting started with the day is a challenge. The bed feels so good and you start to think about all of the things you have to do and decide to sleep for a few more minutes. Next thing you know, you've overslept and are late for work. This leads to a spiral that can send your day down into the dumps.

Having a productive day doesn't necessarily require you to wake up super early in the morning. But there are a few things that need to happen to ensure your day goes well and you tackle the to-do list.

I brought my friends and productivity fairy godmother, Holly Haynes to share her secrets of how she stays productive. As a wife and mom of twins that work full time AND have a full-time coaching business, I think she knows a thing or two that can help us out with our productivity.

In this episode Holly shares:

How to structure your day efficiently so that you actually are able to get what you need to be done without it being overwhelming.
Why you need a morning routine and what to include in your morning routine to help you have a productive day.
Her method to determining what you need to tackle first on your to-do list

If you need a little magic from the productivity fairy godmother, make sure to check out the full episode.

ABOUT HOLLY
Holly helps female entrepreneurs take back control of their time with proven productivity techniques, systems, and structure to create a strategy that scales long term. An industry expert, host of the Crush the Rush Podcast and featured Thrive author with a 20-year business consulting background with Fortune 500 companies, Holly runs her strategic coaching business and the Crush the Rush planner company while raising her twin daughters with her husband in addition to working for a non-profit in Columbus, Ohio.

[159] Planning Parental Leave? Steps to Have Your Ideal Maternity Leave with Sue and Amy Nov 02, 2021

If there was one area that I could go back and time in and change in my life, it would be preparing for maternity leave when I had my first son. As a recent grad with student loans and no savings, taking 3-month maternity leave wasn't something that I could afford.
Unfortunately, the United States did not have a federal paid maternity leave like other countries like Estonia, Portugal, and New Zealand. As a new mom I wanted to be home with my baby, but the reality was I had to go back to work to make sure that my baby was provided for. The sad part is many moms experience this. I was able to take 6-week maternity leave, but I have heard of moms going back to work as soon as 2 weeks after having a baby.
Instead of wishing that I could go back and change those days, I want other expecting moms to know that you plan and prepare your ideal maternity leave. You don't have to rush back to work because you have to.
In today's episode, my guest Sue and Amy are going to help us learn how we can do just that. In this episode, Sue and Amy share:

What parental leave looks like in this country today
Where moms-to-be need to start to negotiate this major life and career transition
The top three things expecting parents taking parental leave should do to protect their current and future career
Things that parents should keep in mind after parental leave

If you are an expecting mom, dad, or know some that are, this episode is definitely for you. Check out the full episode to learn mom.

ABOUT AMY & SUE
Dr. Amy Beacom is the founder and CEO of the Center for Parental Leave Leadership, the first consultancy in the US to focus exclusively on parental leave. She consults with Fortune 100 companies, international organizations, working parents, and more to transform the way our companies and our country engage with the parental leave transition. She's the co-author of the Parental Leave Playbook, with Sue Campbell, who's the communications director for the Center for Parental Leave Leadership. They are both with us today.

[157] 3 Tips to Overcome Power Struggles With Your Child with Lindsay Ford Oct 19, 2021

Have you ever felt like there's a constant battle between you and your kids?
Like, asking them to pick up the toys only leads to meltdowns and attitudes out of nowhere. All we want is to walk around without injuring ourselves the Legos left on the floor.
I used to think that I was struggling with my kid's meltdowns because it seemed to always be a full moon. Then I learned about power struggles.
Kids have a basic need for power. When they feel like they don't have power, that is when the struggle begins.
But giving them power doesn't have to mean giving up your power as a parent.
There are ways where both you and your child can feel in control.
Check out this episode with my guest Lindsay to learn why power struggles happen and 3 tips to overcome them.

Maybe it's time to consider being a VA. A VA (virtual assistant) is someone who works independently to help clients from anything to email marketing to social media management and graphic design.
If you are looking for a way to work from home, check out this episode with Ester. She breaks down the skills needed to become a VA, how to tell the spammy jobs from the real ones, and how to establish their own VA business.
Listen to this episode to learn how you can start your VA business and work from home permanently.
ABOUT ESTER
Esther quit her corporate America job 6 years ago when she realized it wasn’t suitable for a military wife and Mom life. She started working from home as a virtual assistant and couldn’t believe this simple low entry-level virtual career was completely unknown by other military wives, Moms, or travel lovers.
After taking her agency to 6 figures, she’s helped over 4,000 women work online as virtual assistants around the world with her program 90 Day VA.
After living abroad as a full-time digital nomad for 3 years in Bali, Esther now lives in Asheville, NC with her 9-year-old son and veteran husband.

[152] Simple Steps to Be More Productive from the Productivity Fairy God Mother with Holly Haynes Sep 14, 2021

Sometimes getting up and getting started with the day is a challenge. The bed feels so good and you start to think about all of the things you have to do and decide to sleep for a few more minutes. Next thing you know, you've overslept and are late for work. This leads to a spiral that can send your day down into the dumps.

Having a productive day doesn't necessarily require you to wake up super early in the morning. But there are a few things that need to happen to ensure your day goes well and you tackle the to-do list.

Why you need a morning routine and what to include in your morning routine to help you have a productive day.
Her method to determining what you need to tackle first on your to-do list

If you need a little magic from the productivity fairy godmother, make sure to check out the full episode.

[149] Having Trouble Talking to Your Teen? Communication Tips for Moms with Teens with Maria Fahrner Aug 24, 2021

Even though my kids are young, I feel like I have a teenager (or two) sometimes. Especially, when I'm talking to my oldest and he tells me I don't listen to him when I actually listen to everything he says. That stings.

My biggest fear is my kids grow up and don't want to talk to me about their problems, issues, or struggles. Honestly, I was beginning to feel like my 8-year-old wasn't opening up to me like he used to.

Whenever I feel like I am struggling with parenting or not getting through to my kids, I always reach out to moms who have been there and done that.

I reached out to a mother and grandmother that has over 30 years of experience with working with families for this problem. My friend Maria, from The Moms I know Podcast. In the latest episode of the podcast, Maria shares:

Practical tips for communicating with your teen
The best way to respond when your teenager or big kid opens up to you
When you should leave your child alone and when to intervene
Helpful advice on communication with your teenager

One big takeaway is when my kids are talking to me about their problems, I need to listen carefully and not make fun of them or laugh at their problems.

This seems simple, but it's a reminder that everyone wants to feel validated and not judged when they are opening up.

If you have a teenager (or big kid) that you need a little help with communication with, this episode is for you.

ABOUT MARIA
Maria is an educator, mother, grandmother, and podcaster with over thirty years of experience in working with families. She is passionate about empowering moms to make conscious choices and supporting them to find joy and fulfillment in their parenting journey.

[145] Tips for Actually Spending Time in God's Word with Brittany Ann Jun 29, 2021

In health and fitness, you hear a lot about getting your mind and body into shape. But we don't always talk about the spirit or the soul.
We need all three parts (mind, body, and spirit) to be in alignment so that we can really show up and be awesome in all aspects of our lives.
I've been thinking about how to have more balance in all three parts and I know that there's one part that I am missing out on. And that is just spending more time reading the Bible as a Christian woman. Plus, having that one on one time so that I can really like deepen my faith.
I know that this isn't a struggle that is just unique to me. So I brought my friend Brittany on to help with this.
In this episode, Brittany shares a statistic that says that 59% of Americans want to read the Bible more. But there's just this block that is preventing a lot of people from doing that.
So in this episode, Brittany is going to share with us:

Some of the reasons why women struggle with reading the Bible consistently
Some strategies or routines that we can do to help with reading the Bible more
How to create a routine that we can truly enjoy, and actually start to fall back in love with God's word

If you are one of those people that Brittany identified in the 59% group, check out this episode.

ABOUT BRITTANY
Brittany Ann is an author, speaker, and founder of EquippingGodlyWomen.com, a popular Christian-living website dedicated to helping women be “all in” in faith and family. Brittany is the author of "Fall in Love with God's Word: Practical Strategies for Busy Women" and the creator of the 21-Day Bible Reading Challenge, a free challenge to help Christian women make regular Bible reading a priority.

[129] You Will Survive This! Encouragement For Young Moms with Sheri Miter Apr 13, 2021

Let's be honest, being a mom is a lot of fun. But there are some times when it is very challenging. And you may even struggle with the feeling like you are not a good mom and you're missing your kids up. But the truth is, you're awesome. And you are not messing your kids up.
I brought my friend Sherri to have this conversation about a couple of things. First, what can we do to relieve the pressure off ourselves of trying to be a really awesome mom and raising amazing kids?
Then we talk a little bit about picking battles with our kids and what things should we really focus on when it comes to raising our kids. Sherri shares some things can she let go of and allowed her kids to do, but didn't necessarily agree with them.
And she shares a lot of her life experiences because she now has three grown men that she has raised that are all married and have their own kids.
My hope is that this episode is really going to encourage you.

[126] Girl, It's Okay to Grieve. How to Grieve Well & What Does That Really Mean?! with Quantrilla Ard Mar 23, 2021

One thing that we're not taught much about is grief.
I honestly, avoid the feeling.
But after talking to Quantrilla on the latest episode of the podcast, I see that it is a normal response.
Grief doesn't only happen when you lose a loved one. But it can also happen when you lose a job, have been given a terminal diagnosis, or a natural disaster destroys your home.
As much as I avoid the topic of grief, I felt some relief and gain more understanding and an appreciation for grief. In this episode, Quantrilla talks about:
- Her personal experiences with grief
- What it means to grieve well and how to grieve well
- Red flags to look for when someone is not grieving well
- How to find healing when grieving
After listening to this episode again I was smiling and crying because I was able to learn how to sit down with grief and not run away from it.
Listen to the full episode and learn how to grieve well and know it's okay to grieve.
ABOUT QUANTRILLA
Quantrilla Ard, Ph.D., is a recent transplant to the Atlanta area along with her husband and three littles. A passionate creative at heart, she has answered the call to encourage women in all stages of life and of various backgrounds through empathy, transparency, and love. She is a faith-based personal and spiritual development writer and speaker who believes in the power of collective strength, community, and fellowship. She is an advocate for social justice with a focus on Black maternal and infant health and mortality. You will find her wherever people are sharing stories of triumph.

In this episode, Andrea shares her 5 step process of getting meals planned for the week without stress.

[124] What's Your Enneagram Number? Using Your Enneagram Number to Understand Yourself and Improve Relationships with Becky Williams Mar 09, 2021

Is it just me, or have you wondered what's the deal with these Enneagram numbers?
You hear people talking and saying things like, "Yeah, I'm a 3 wing right."
I have heard so many people talk about the Enneagram test and then throw around their numbers. But what does it all mean?
Basically, the Enneagram is a personality test that is based on 9 different personality types. The beauty of the Enneagram personality test is it is a simple (but could be complicated) way to understand yourself and others.
Because this is not my area of expertise, I brought my guest Becky to help us see how we can use the Enneagram personality test to understand ourselves and improve our relationships.

[123] Money Talk! Tips for Improving Your Finances with Rho Thomas Mar 02, 2021

The biggest financial lesson I learned in 2020 is how important it is to have healthy emergency savings that you can live off of for at least 3 months.
After seeing many people being furloughed and laid off, it is important to have your finances in order so that you don't have to take another big hit. But where do you start if you have no idea?
Don't worry. I have my friend and money coach, Rho, here to help.
Rho has an impressive financial journey and is working to help more women achieve financial independence. In this episode, we talk about:

Why having more money is not the answers to financial problems
Tips for budgeting so that you can do more with your money
Bills that you can negotiate to get a better rate or price on
Tips for getting your spouse on board with your financial goals

ABOUT RHO

She helps lawyers make intentional lifestyle and money decisions to regain control of their time, build wealth, and live the lives of freedom and choice they deserve.

[120] You Don't Have to Be a Hot Mess Mom! 3 Steps to Break Out of the Hot Mess Mom Mentality with Elyse Rooney Feb 09, 2021

Do you seem to find that moms are being praised for the more that they struggle and give into the hot mess mom culture? You know. The mom that is always struggling with the messy bun and the same outfit on from yesterday that fuels off lots of coffee or wine.

In this episode, my guest Elyse talks about

What is the hot mess mom culture all about
The 3 steps to getting out of the hot mess mom culture
Things that you can do day to day to keep yourself from being a hot mess.

[118] Breaking the Cycle of the 'All or Nothing Mentality' and Living Empowered with Shawna Scafe Jan 26, 2021

Have you ever thought, "I might as well not exercise today since I ate all those cookies today." Or maybe you have thought "If I can't declutter my house, why start at all."
This is all or nothing thinking. When you view things as zero to 100. This type of thinking causes you to look at extremes and forget about options 1-99.
You can see this in trying to implement self-care, meal planning, stress coping and so many other areas of your life if you pay attention. So what's the problem with thinking like this?
It affects what we choose to do or not do, how we show up, and how we talk to ourselves.
This is why my guest, Shawna, is here to help us. In this episode we talk about:

What is this all or nothing mentality
How the all or nothing mentality can show up in our lives
What steps that we can take to shift the all or nothing mentality
How to be more intentional and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings daily

If you are ready to ditch the all or nothing mentality, check out this full episode.

[114] Ready to Improve Your Parenting? This One Thing Will Transform Your Motherhood with Victoria Anderson Jan 05, 2021

News Flash! Your kids don't do want you to say, they do what you do.
My guest Victoria had this realization when raising her kids and almost treating them like a project. Meaning that she thought she had to get her kids to be awesome in school and raise them to be awesome adults that would eventually leave and go off to college.
The problem with this is kids have their own personalities and trajectories for life. The things that we push our kids to do may not be what they actually want to do. So instead of trying to raise our kids to be perfect versions of ourselves, Victoria has another method ... model the behavior and things that you want your kids to do.
This includes having fun. Your kids want to see you happy! Check out this episode to learn how to transform the way you see parenting so that you can improve your motherhood

[98] The Insanely Easy Way to Get Kids to do Chores Without Complaining with Ashley Buffa Sep 22, 2020

Getting the kids to help with the chores first starts with mindset. We have to go from being willing to pick up behind everyone to teaching our kids we don’t work for them and we are not the maid. Most of the time moms don’t want to put up with the attitudes and the temper tantrums and think that they will be able to get it done faster themselves anyway. This is a trap in the name of saving time.
Check out this episode to learn how this mom of 10 kids gets her kids to do chores without complaining. She has even taught hundreds of other moms how to get their kids on board with chores so that moms don't have to be the glorified maid in the house.

[86] How I Maintain Boundaries At Work And At Home with Rachel Dash Jun 30, 2020

Are you feeling burned out, stressed, worried all the time, or losing sleep? Maybe its time to check your boundaries. If you don’t have firm boundaries at work and home, it’s easy for people to get over on you and leave you drained and stretched thin.
In this episode, my guest Rachel shares that everyone is trying to get their needs met. But this doesn’t mean that you should give up yours. It’s okay to want your needs and values.

As moms, we tend to get oppressed in our own space. With people stealing our ideas, taking our time, and trying to convince us that we need to be nicer, smile more, and be kinder.
On top of that, there’s this societal pressure to sacrifice everything for your kids and be there any time they need us. Which is not true or fair. We can’t be available all the time because we will get burned out.
This is why boundaries are so important. We have to learn to say no and have firm boundaries. Check out this episode to get tips for maintaining boundaries at work and at home so that you can avoid burn out and unnecessary stress.

When you have a baby there are so many emotions going on. Then you get home and you are waking up every two to three hours to feed or change the baby. It doesn’t take long to feel exhausted with a new baby.

My guest, Lyn from Couch to Active shares some of the barriers that we have to exercise and fitness and how to break through stereotypes of who does what types of exercise. Because let’s be honest you should do whatever exercise you love doing. Even if it is not what people think that your age, gender, or race typically does.

Lyn also helps to tackles some of the body image and body positivity issues that may be preventing us from exercising. She shares some of the secrets about some of the fitness and bodybuilder influencers that will have your mouth on the floor.

Then she challenges with questions to ask ourselves so that we stay motivated and committed to exercising. I will be honest, negative self-talk is what I struggle with, and the number one reason why I don’t exercise as often as I should. The good news is Lyn shares how I can get it under control. So go ahead and listen to this podcast now. You will thank me later.

[82] How To Eat Healthy Meals When You're A Busy Working Mom with Sarah Bingham Jun 02, 2020

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult. Let’s be honest, the food industry makes it challenging. With all of the labels with misleading words like “all-natural” or “natural flavors” that make you think that you are eating something healthy until you read in the ingredient list.

In this episode, I talked to Sarah from Fast Food Healing foods and how to make it easy for busy working moms to put healthy nutritious meals on the table that don’t take much prep.

Having been a busy mom with little ones at one time, she gives practical advice on meals that we prepare that are low maintenance and nutritious so you don’t have to go to the line at McDonald’s.

She shared why we need to get rid of white sugar and white flour from our diets. And what removing white sugar and white flour from our diets can do for our health. Especially for kids with behavioral issues.

Check out this episode so that you can feed your kids to health and enjoy happy, healthy kids.

Humans have evolved over the last 200,000 years without toys, without any stores that had toys, or Pinterest that had activities for kiddos.

We have thrived without toys.

So when did this need for toys start?

When Jenny looks back on her research she finds that at the start of the industrial revolution is when toys became available.

Jenny also notes that happiness started to decrease at the same time as well.

This is also around the time that many parenting books came out that encouraged self-soothing and the thought that children need to be ignored so that you don’t spoil them.

And so in place of that, we actually stopped honoring the most important thing that a child needs, which is a secure attachment to their parent or to their primary caregiver.

And we started to give them toys and materials in place of that, which is the lousiest replacement.

An Alternative Parenting Style

Jenny has been working hard to let parents know that you don’t have to stress yourself with purchasing toys and finding activities for your kids.

News flash. Jenny doesn’t set up any activities for her daughter. And her daughter is learning and having fun every day.

What she does is utilize RIE parenting. RIE parenting stands for Respectful Infant Educarer Parenting.

RIE Parenting was created by Magda Gerber in the 1980s but was inspired by a Hungarian pediatrician, Emmi Pikler.

He observed children thrive when they just played freely and unstructured in their environment.

He also found that kids learn casually not testing by testing.

Children were learning their alphabet by singing songs versus testing them with posters on the wall.

So if we look inside of our houses, we have measuring cups
