Motherhood Without Guilt Nov 11, 2020

None of us are exempted from mom guilt. And although some of us may have been told that motherhood would be hard, no one tells you that the hardest part will be you being the hardest on yourself. Guilt can be good, it helps us navigate right from wrong and think about our actions. But MOM GUILT, has a tendency to drown us in shame, self sabotage, depression, unrealistic expectations and a ton of other debilitating things. If you are feeling all the mom guilt today, or if you feel like you are not hitting the mark in the mom game listen in to this episode. Share, Subscribe, Grow With Us!

Family Gratitude Questions #2 Nov 10, 2020

During the month of November I wanted to focus on creating conversations with our kids around gratitude. When we focus on all the things we are grateful for it has long lasting positive effects on our brain and our day! Each day I will share a gratitude questions to share and have a discussion with. There is no wrong or right way to utilize these questions. Sometimes your kids are little and you need to take a yes or no answer as sufficient, if we have older kids we may need to include more specifics or details, you can rabid trail, add in more in depth questions, etc. The goal is to learn more about each other, practice gratitude together, communicate, and have fun!

Find Yourself focusing on All The Ways You Fall Short? Your Negative Attributes? Nah friend, nah. Oct 29, 2020

We are so hard on ourselves 99.8% of the time. In motherhood we focus on the ONE loss or the ONE ball dropped instead of the whole picture. We focus on the mistake we made during that argument with our husband. We focus on the dumb thing we shouldn't have said with our friends. NO! We have to stop! Let's stop focusing on the negative things, the things we dislike about ourselves, and start seeing the big picture. If that's hard for you like it is for me, this episode is for you!

Why Handing Your Kids Technology is More Dangerous Than You thought Sep 23, 2020

*Episode is not appropriate for children* It's hard to stand firm on technology and social media with our kids when you almost feel guilty for not being like all the other parents. We somehow feel like our kids might be missing out if they don't have a phone. And kids with phones make the other kids without phones feel like they are missing out. We had a recent run in with our daughter receiving inappropriate messages on a game she was playing and I immediately reached out to Dolly Denson knowing that she would understand my situation and be able to guide me on protecting my children online. Dolly has created "Be THAT Mom" Movement after seeing the aftermath of giving her own children phones at a young age and how it impacted their life. Resources for parents:

Part 2: Childhood Trauma, Abuse, Healing, and the Behind the Scenes Life of...Me Sep 18, 2020

This is Part 2 of a behind the scenes listen into my life growing up. It's important to know because when you listen to So She Grows or hear any trainings from me, you can now see that I speak out of experience, love, perspective, empathy and genuine desires to help, grow, and heal. As humans our pasts and experiences have shaped us, they mold us into who we are today. We can use trauma to bury us or we can use it to rise above and be a light for others. Child trauma, alcohol abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, abandonment, sexual abuse..are all unfortunate experiences that require deep healing. Please seek professional help if you feel like the burdens are too deep to bare or if you have yet to find peace and healing with those pains. Your feelings are valid.

Childhood Trauma, Abuse and the Behind The Scenes Story of My Life Sep 17, 2020

Today is a behind the scenes listen into my life growing up. It's important to know because when you listen to So She Grows or hear any trainings from me, you can now see that I speak out of experience, love, perspective, empathy and genuine desires to help, grow, and heal.
