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

Show notes

Send me a text

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

Show notes

Send me a text

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

Show notes

Send me a text

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.

Show notes

Send me a text

Do you ever find yourself feeling chaotic and overwhelmed? Maybe it's time to implement some good routines. Routines help reduce stress, add structure, and predictability to your day. Routines allow less decision-making and allow you to think clearly and not be overwhelmed and stressed out. Think of routines as a comfy blanket, keeping you warm and cozy because you know what is coming, you feel more comfortable, you feel at ease. Plus, routines help you to bring your values to the forefront of your life. Check out this episode with the routine queen, Ashley, as she shares ways that you can implement routines and make them work for you.

Raise your hand if you could do better with delegating at home?
I'm raising my hand too. Many times I feel like that I can get it all done. But the truth is we need the help and support of those around us.
I talked to my fellow podcasting friend all about delegating to learn what things I should delegate and why I struggle with delegating.
Through our conversation, you will learn that there are two things that hold us moms back from delegating. Then Whitnee debunks these myths and explains why we need to delegate, especially at home.
Then Whitnee shares her 5 step plan to help you delegate so that you can get more things checked off of your to-do list without having to do it all by yourself.

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

Show notes

Send me a text

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.

Today, I wanted you to see what some of those things are if you are a boy mom like me. Monica shares with us five things that our boys need from us.
And if you haven't checked out that blog post already, there are actually 11 things that she shares but today we're going to focus on just five.
Want to know what they are? Check out the full episode to find out.
