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

Show notes

Send me a text

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!).

Show notes

Send me a text

Have you ever felt like you are not connecting with your little boy? Or maybe struggle with your little guy's energy level.
This episode is for you!
Now, if you are not a boy Mom, this can help you out too, with just communication with boys.
My guest today is Janet Allison. And she shares how we can better understand our boys and some practical tips to help with communication. So that we can communicate with our boys better.
ABOUT JANET
Janet is the mom of 2 grown daughters yet she's been advocating, researching, and talking about boys for over 20 years! As a teacher in the mid-90's she quickly discovered how much she didn't know about how boys communicate, how much educators and the school system didn't know about how boys learn, and how many parents were struggling with understanding their boys, too!

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

Show notes

Send me a text

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.
