I know that so many of you can relate to avoiding problems when they come up and I’m here to share my story and the lessons I’ve learned that have helped me handle things head on, especially when they are difficult.

The reason it's so hard for you to keep your house clean Jun 13, 2023

If I were to ask you right now why it’s difficult for you to keep your house clean, what would you say?

“No one else helps. We’re too busy. I’m just lazy. I’m unmotivated. Nothing I do is ever enough.”

The truth is, most of the time none of those reasons are actually true.

After 17+ years in helping folks keep a tidier home, I know the real reason it’s so hard to maintain a clean house and how you can shift it today.

Why planning really is everything (and the plan means nothing) May 23, 2023

One of my favorite quotes of all time is, “Planning is everything, the plan means nothing.” attributed to Dwight Eisenhower. I’ve used it here on the podcast and in my courses to signify the importance of planning + strategizing, even when the plan could change without warning.

At the beginning of our recent vacation, this became even more evident. Today, I’m telling you the story of how last minute travel changes had less of an effect on us because we spent so much time in planning mode.

What to do when you have zero motivation to clean May 18, 2023

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a trillion times: motivation is a myth or rather, the idea that you NEED motivation to get things done is a myth.

Motivation is unpredictable and a variable we just can’t count on. When it comes to not wanting to clean the house, low motivation is coming in hot at the top fo the list.

But I’m going to show you how to have a cleaner home and a routine that works for you even when you have zero motivation to do it.

5 common decluttering myths debunked! May 09, 2023

The self care habit I can't live without May 02, 2023

I’m a firm believer that self care is deeper than the every now and then occurrence of luxuries and indulgences. Don’t get me wrong, a pedicure is incredible. So is a bubble bath. So is a blow out. All other these things are forms of self care, but assuming that moms are only allowed to care for themselves a few times a year is yet again putting our needs last while everyone else's come first.

Self care is a non-negotioable for me and I have one simple habit that I couldn’t live without and it’s going to be different than anything you’re expecting.

Embracing the idea of neutrality in home management Apr 18, 2023

Let me be the first to tell you if you’ve never heard this before: cleaning your home is a neutral act.

It is not morally better to be clean. It is not morally bad to have messes.

We’ve created a belief systems that makes the action of having a tidy home better than not rather than realizing cleaning is just an action we do, it’s not who we are.

Today, I’m going to talk about the idea of neutrality and how it has quite literally changed my approach to almost everything I used to judge myself for.

What 2022 taught me about rest, failure and self trust. Dec 08, 2022

Although we all could say that the last 2 years have some of the hardest we've all endured, I can say that 2022 has been the most difficult for me and yet the most freeing.

No, you're actually not a hot mess. Nov 22, 2022

I've grown to really loathe the phrase "hot mess" but not for the reason you might think.

See, we've come to believe that WE are the messes, but here's the deal: you are not a mess. You are a person that experiences messes. You observe. You see. You even contribute, because we're human and we make messes.

Today, I want to give you permission to NOT call yourself a hot mess anymore if it doesn't make you feel good. You are so much more than a mess, friend.

The simplest ways to make your morning routine successful Nov 15, 2022

The dos and don'ts of using printables and checklists in your home Oct 11, 2022

The motivation myth and why momentum is all you need Sep 27, 2022

Ok, so the word is real, but the idea that you need motivation to accomplish anything is a myth and a lie that quite literally keeps us unmotivated.

Of all the successes I've experienced, of all the goals I've reached, of all the things I've made a supportive habit out of, none of them came from an abundance of motivation. They came from momentum.

Momentum will finish more projects than motivation will ever even start and I have so much to share with you to make this is a reality in your life.

How to make homemaking a thing you don't hate Sep 20, 2022

Modern homemaking is one of my obsessions and I've spent almost 7 years redefining what the words means.

I get it. It feels outdated and antiquated. It feels like something moms in the 50s did to please their husbands and families. It feels like a burden.

Here's my take: everyone who lives in a home of any kind is a homemaker. I am, my husband is, my kids are. We all do our part to make our home better.

I have a lot of thoughts and some great insights on how you can make homemaking a thing you don't, both in word and in practice.

Giving myself permission to change my mind (and how you can do the same) Sep 13, 2022

Change is hard.

We all know that.

It feels easier to just stay the same, even if the same old same old is unsupportive of the goals we have.

I want to talk to you about how I'm giving myself permission to change my mind, even in the face of discomfort and even some judgement from others.

The truth is, you're allowed to change your mind even if other people don't agree, even if they have opinions, even if they don't understand. Wanna follow along with what's mentioned in this episode?

I’d teach my younger self all the things I learned the hard way so she didn’t have to.

Most of all, I’d show her grace and compassion so she could enter adulthood feeling prepared without worrying about being perfect.

Today’s episode is dedicated to the everything I’d teach my younger self about adulting.

This is my favorite concept and truly the backbone of everything Mother Like a Boss.

Today we’re talking about how to use the power of momentum and 5 minutes at a time to get things done without exhausting yourself.

Why it's so hard to stay organized (and how to change that) Apr 19, 2022

You ever spend the entire weekend organizing your bedroom closet only to have it back to the way it was in a month?

We talk a lot of lip service in the organizing niche about "getting organized" but what about staying that way? Really, it's all about systems. So let's talk about how to create simple, sustainable systems in your life that you can keep up with.

The real issue with how we view time in our society Apr 12, 2022

As a time travel enthusiast (read: nerd) I love talking about the ways we view time in our society. We see it as linear and as something we have no control over. The truth is, time (as we know it) is a made up concept that we have far more control over than we think.

It all starts with changing our relationship with time and today we're going to talk about how to get started so we can unbusy our lives.

Let's talk about why we attach our worth to productivity (and how to stop!) Apr 05, 2022

Productivity has nothing to do with our innate worth, but that doesn't stop us from making that leap and letting it hold us back.

In mom culture, there is an overwhelming attachment from how much we get done to how worthy we feel and frankly, it has to stop.

Today we're going to talk about where this comes from and how to end it.

How to find your modern homemaking style Mar 29, 2022

Modern homemaking isn't just for one "type" of mom. It isn't even just for moms. Every person living in a home is by definition a homemaker.

There are so many ways to run your home, schedule your routines and get things done, but where to start?

Today's episode is dedicated to helping you find your own personal homemaking style so you can cultivate a space that feels good for your family and your season.

How to take your home back, finally! Mar 22, 2022

It's how a lot of moms feel about our houses. With everything we're responsible for focusing on, it's easy for everything to feel out of control at home. I want to help you take your home back, finally and for good.

Making home management easier in 2 weeks Mar 15, 2022

The idea of home management is pretty overwhelming and aren't we all overwhelmed enough?

I have a simple 2 week plan to help you manage your home without spending hours a day doing it (and even if you have no idea where to start!)

Let's talk routines for your mom type and season Mar 08, 2022

Let's face it: one sized fits all routines don't work and they haven't for a long time.

One of the reasons so many moms believe routines don't work for them is because they've been sold the belief that routines have to be rigid, have to look a certain way absolutely have to be done the same way every day until eternity. Wrong.

Whether you stay at home with your kids, work outside the home, own a business, work at home, work part time, or have grown children that don't even live at home anymore, let's talk about how to make simple, bite-sized routines work for your mom type and season.

Knowing your mess threshold Mar 01, 2022

A lot of things in life are highly subjective. Messes are one of those things.

A mess to one person is perfectly acceptable and tidy to another. Clean to one person is dirty to another.

As someone that ran a cleaning business for over a decade and served hundreds of clients, I can tell you that everyone has a very different threshold for messes. Knowing what yours is (and everyone else that lives in your house) can help you set routines that serve you and manage expectations of yourself and others.

Celebrating the big 300th: My best friend interviews me! Feb 24, 2022

The Mother Like a Boss™ podcast has reached a big milestone: 300 episodes!

To celebrate this incredible occasion (and celebrate every single one of you that has listened over the years) I'm bringing my best friend Erika Tebbens to the podcast to interview me. I'm answering questions submitted by our audience and students, and a few Erika is throwing in for good measure.

How to become proactive versus reactive Feb 22, 2022

If you feel like you spend your life putting out fires, this episode is for you.

One of the greatest shifts I've made in my life, in my home and as a mother is becoming more proactive than I am reactive. Whether it's in my day to day routines or my mindset, I'm going to show you have to set yourself up for success so that you spend less time reacting to the moment.

Dealing with other people's opinions on how to run your home Feb 15, 2022

Opinions: everyone has them, about everything, all the time.

When it comes to the inner workings of how you run your home, from bedtime rituals to how you plan your meals to the amount of screen time you allow your children, opinions are everywhere. The come from those we know and love, and those we've never met.

Today, let's talk about how to deal with those opinions, whose advice you should be listening to (spoiler: you get to CHOOSE) and how to finally live the way you want without worrying what anyone else has to say about it.

My journey of true self-acceptance Feb 08, 2022

I've been putting this episode off for a while, but it was finally time to take it off the "maybe someday" list and record my feelings and thoughts.

Just like most other women, my journey to self love and acceptance hasn't been easy. In fact, some days it's been downright grueling and heartbreaking.

But as my years pass, I've been able to embrace my truest self by allowing her to shine through. I hope that by sharing my story, someone will start their journey, too.

Why the "Bite-Sized Homemaking" method is the one we all need Feb 04, 2022

I love food and I love helping moms simplify their home management, so the idea of "bite-sized homemaking" is right up my alley. In a world that continues to push the "go big or go home" narrative, we're turning the tables and doing things completely differently. The Mother Like a Boss™ way of doing homemaking is modern, simple and sustainable. I'm going to break down what the bite-sized method is and why it works for all moms, no matter what season of motherhood you find yourself in right now.

Jennifer Akins is a busy musician and a grandmother of a 7 month old that she takes care of often. In this episode, we talk through simple ways for her to get started decluttering and organizing her home and sticking to routines, even when she's completely overwhelmed.

The real reasons you feel like all you do is clean Jan 27, 2022

"I feel like all I do is clean my house!" is one of the most comment complaints and struggles I hear from my followers, so if this is you mama, you are not alone.

The thing is, after cleaning hundreds of homes over an 11 year period, I know the real reasons that it takes you so long to clean and why you feel like it's all you do. The good news is I have a solution. The bad news is it's going to take a big mindset shift to make it happen. Are you ready?

No, but really, what can we do about mom burn out? Jan 20, 2022

I've always been a solution-oriented person, so nothing sticks in my craw quite like the fact that we discuss mom burn out constantly and yet have no real solutions to work through it.

What if we worked to stop burn out before it happened? Is that even possible? I'm going to share my thoughts and the simple solutions I've found to move me away from burn out and over to a place of peace and ease.

How self care without self love becomes self sabotage Jan 13, 2022

You are deserving of all the self care in the world. You deserve to care for your needs, physical and otherwise. Something I discovered about myself recently was how often I use self care as a form of avoidance and ultimately self sabotage.

How does that work? Because I wasn't focused on truly loving myself, but with using stereotypical self care activities, like shopping as a way to avoidance deeper self care. After talking to my students, I've found I'm not alone, so let's chat about it.

22 things to toss and eliminate in your home and life this year Jan 06, 2022

In honor of the new year, I'm giving you 22 things you get toss in right now in your home, in your schedule and in your life to make more room for what you want.

Making new habits stick with the tether method Dec 23, 2021

We're at that famous time of the year when we start thinking about all the new habits we're going to create in the next week or so, making the next year "bigger and better than ever" only to have those new habits get lost in a pile of past intentions by January 25.

There is an easier way and it's what I call the tether method. It's not a new concept, but it's my particular way that has helped me tether my new habits to my old ones and pull them along. This is just what you need to stay consistent with those new routines and goals you're ready to crush in this new year.

The very real rut of mom life Dec 09, 2021

Raise your hand if mom life has had you feeling like you're stuck in a rut, like a car spinning its wheels and kicking up nothing but mud.

You are not alone. You are in good company. You are not a bad mom.

The very real monotony of life as a mom can have us feeling like we can't move forward, then guilty for feeling that way, then frustrated that we feel guilt and so on down the line. Let's talk about how we can honor and understand these feelings and get out of the rut as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

How to set and stick to holiday boundaries Dec 02, 2021

It's the most wonderful time of the year...until it's not because you've over-scheduled yourself, said yes to things you swore you wouldn't and now feel like it's going to be the most stressful time of year, again.

What we need more of, ladies: boundaries! Let's talk about how to stick to holiday boundaries, whether they are with your family, your friends or with that most important person in your life: yourself!

How journaling has improved my life and how it can do the same for YOU! Nov 26, 2021

Journaling is a highly effective yet incredibly misunderstood practice. Most think it's like keeping a diary, having to memorialize every moment of our lives in writing. A journal is more than a memoir, it's an insight into our inner thoughts, most of which we don't know we have.

Journaling has improved my life in ways I can't physically measure, but can feel deep inside. It's a habit that allows me to explore my mindset and work through the resentment, the exhaustion, the guilt and the worry that comes up in my mom life. Today, we have a special treat for you: a highly valuable episode + an opportunity to get our new guided journaling experience!

How to stop thinking and start doing Nov 18, 2021

Are you an over-thinker? Do you overthink about how often you overthink? Do you do more thinking than doing, and then spend time thinking about how much you think, but don't do? Oh, the cycle!

As someone who spend the majority of her life inside her head, I get this and I want to help the moms of the world stop thinking and start doing. Your plans aren't doing you any good inside your head, my friend. Let's set up some routines to help you get to work, simply and easily.

Creating bite-sized routines for kids Nov 11, 2021

Nothing is more difficult than an overcomplicated routine and I'm talking about for adults. Imagine how frustrating it is for a child. Routines are innately helpful for kids of all ages, but what if your children aren't sticking to them?

Today, we're going to talk about my bite size method and why it works so well for kids. I'm giving you the simple ways you can create snackable daily routines for your kids that will give you all your time back, for good.

When you're good at starting, but not following through Nov 04, 2021

I have a confession to make: I am an excellent planner, but I really fall short on the follow through. I always said I would have made an incredible personal assistant or professional planner, because when it comes to figuring out the details and starting a project, I'm your girl.

I just couldn't figure out why I wasn't following through, but now I have. It comes down to consistency, real consistency that's built on micro habits and bite size routines. If you're good at starting like me, this is your episode.

Finding freedom from our productivity obsessed culture Oct 28, 2021

Let's call it what it is: we've become overly obsessed with productivity. Do the things, do more, do it all. In an effort to move away from just being "busy" we've now swung the pendulum over to the other side, focusing on always needing to produce. Especially in motherhood, many of us equate our worth with how many checkmarks we see on a list at the end of the day.

You are a worthy person outside of what you accomplish each day and it's time to find freedom from our productivity-obsessed culture.

6 simple ways to keep your house organized, 10 minutes at a time Oct 21, 2021

Home organization has become way too complicated. There, I said it. From TV shows to billions of Pinterest search results to entire lines of products at Target, organization is now less about systems and more about flashiness. I'm pumping the brakes on all of it.

Today, I'm going to give you 6 simple and highly effective ways to keep your house organized in as little as 10 minutes at a time.

Where to start when everything feels overwhelming Oct 14, 2021

This is by far one of the top 5 most commonly ask questions at Mother Like a Boss™ and I'm jumping in with both feet today. There is nothing more overwhelming than trying to get started...when you already feel overwhelmed. It's like an overwhelmed soup.

I've got big value for you today, mindset shifts and practical tips to help you get started on anything, even when you feel overwhelmed and burnt out.

How a "domino area" will save you time every day Oct 07, 2021

What if I told you that you could get more done without having to do more? "Sure, and maybe I could ride my magical unicorn to space while I'm at it."

It's possible and easier than you think. We're a little obsessed with productivity in our society, but the key to getting more done is creating momentum and prioritizing the order in which you do things. Having a domino area in your routines is how you accomplish both of those things.

How to implement planning time into your schedule Sep 30, 2021

Planning for the future can feel confusing, but planning to plan? That's just ridiculous, right? Wrong.

Implementing planning time into your schedule, even 10 minutes at a time can be the difference between living out your priorities and reaching your goals, and always feeling like your 10 steps behind. Planning time is how we stay proactive rather than reactive and it works for everyone. It today's episode, I'm giving you the low down on how to implement planning time into your schedule, even if you feel like you have no free time for it right now.

How to create your best mom year even when you don't know where to start! Sep 23, 2021

Let's just name it and claim it: the last 18+ months has been anything but kind and gentle with us, especially in the motherhood community. Between lockdowns and health concerns and school being virtual, I've felt anything but my "best." Now, it's time to choose ourselves again, to get back to a place where we can set goals- even VISUALIZE our goals- again.

So where to start? I'm going to tell you how I'm doing it and invite you all to join me in our 2021 cohort of Your Best Mom Year because you deserve to have dreams again, mama and you deserve to have them come true. Big and small. They all matter here.

Decluttering toys, crafts and kids' artwork Sep 16, 2021

Feel like your house is bursting at the seams with toys, popsicle crafts and construction paper pictures? Tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids, right?

There is a lot of sentimentality that goes into decluttering things like this and it also feels never ending, so today let's talk about simple solutions to getting rid of things so you can make room for the wonderful memories you do want to keep.

When no one sees the mess but you Sep 09, 2021

Sometimes I think socks are invisible and that I have magical sight because it seems that I'm the only one that notices them sitting on the couch. It's all fun and games until you realize you're frustrated, resentful and exhausted because you're the only one that seems to see the mess around you. How can you take work off your shoulders if you feel like you're the only one that cares?

You're not alone. You're valid. Let's talk about what to dow hen no one sees the mess but you.

Beating the chaos of back to school season Sep 02, 2021

The pencils, glue sticks and aisles and aisles of binders have been out at Target since early July, but the time is here: it's back to school season. I love this time of year because it feels like mom new year. It's a fresh start. It's also a season of overwhelm, but does it have to feel that way?

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about how to beat the chaos of back to school season and start the year off more organized and stress-free.

My (newbie) approach to a homeschooling routine Aug 26, 2021

This is it.

My oldest is now in high school and we've chosen to homeschool her. Actually, she chose it and we're all excited and nervous.

With an 8 year old son still in public school, this is a new adventure for our entire family. In today's episode, I'm talking about our approach to homeschooling, how we're organizing our days and what we've learned in the process.

Let's stop equating time and energy Aug 19, 2021

Money isn't the only currency we have in this world. We also spend our time and energy, often on tasks with little to no ROI (return on investment.) Something that became glaringly obvious over the last 15 months is how unequal time and energy are. Just because we have the time doesn't mean we have the energy.

Let's talk about how to save time AND energy and set better boundaries with our energy in general.

Helping our kids become great decision makers Aug 12, 2021

Analysis paralysis is real and with research showing that we make upwards of 35,000 decisions EACH DAY, its no wonder making those decisions feels so difficult. This makes it even more important for us to show our children how to become good decision makers from the start, from trusting themselves to know what's right for them to understanding any consequences to their decisions.

BEST OF: How make cleaning your house easier in 3 simple steps Jul 29, 2021

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

Cleaning your house shouldn't be a burden, plain and simple. Of all the tips and tricks I have for making house cleaning more enjoyable, this episode is quite literally 3 simple steps to make it easier right this moment. These are steps you can implement into your life today.

BEST OF: How to create your home's culture and why it's important Jul 22, 2021

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

The way we run our home is so much more than the sum of it's parts. It's more than the cleaning, the cooking, the wiping butts and playing taxi driver to our kids. Much like any other social group, our home is built on the culture we create for it.

On today's episode, I want to take you inside this idea and why spending all of your time focusing and stressing about the minutia of day-to-day homemaking isn't solving the problem. Let's chat about how creating a culture in your home that fits with your values will bring you more joy (and less wanting to huddle in a corner and cry.)

BEST OF: How to love your home even if you don't love your house Jul 15, 2021

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

This is a common one, mamas and it's worth an honest conversation.

Living in a house you aren't super jazzed about can affect how you feel about your home overall. Our houses are dwellings, but our homes are a feeling. We carry them with us wherever we go. How do we go about loving our homes when we don't exactly love the dwellings we're in?

BEST OF: An honest conversation about resentment in motherhood Jul 08, 2021

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

I'm going to say something that will immediately ruffles some feathers: there have been times in my 13 years as a mom that I've felt resentful of the life I'd created. I'm saying that out loud in the podcast today as a way to start the conversation and end the shame. Resentment is the bi-product of circumstances, mindsets and beliefs and it doesn't mean you don't absolutely love your children.

Ignoring the feelings, or believing that this has to be " the way it is" in modern motherhood is going to keep resentment at the wheel, driving your life and causing you more unhappiness. You deserve more. Let's have an open and honest conversation about where it comes from and how to handle the feelings.

BEST OF: How to feel better by doing less Jul 01, 2021

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

Where my overachievers at? If you grew up getting praise when you did more, you're probably thinking that doing less is lazy. We've been conditioned by a world that tells us that more is better, because doing more is how we prove our worth.

This is an episode all about the beauty and power of doing less as a way to feel better; emotionally, mentally and physically. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, mama.

How to choose a morning routine that actually works for YOUR life Jun 24, 2021

If I had a nickel for every time I came across another guru claiming to have discovered the most meaningful, useful morning routine that will help everyone in the world become as successful as an Amazon CEO, I'd be as rich as an Amazon CEO.

The truth is that there is no such routine, because everyone's life is different. We're all coming at the day in different seasons, from different circumstances and with different values. Our morning routines should fit our life and today, I want to give you a step-by-step process to choose a morning routine you can stick to.

Using Trello 101 Jun 17, 2021

If it were possible and legal to marry an online organizing tool, Trello™ and I would be hitched by now. I've talked about it before and I won't stop because Trello has made my life infinitely easier, my life more management and my business highly organized.

So what is it? It's a visual organization tool (think Pinterest and Post-Its had a baby) and in this episode, I'm going to break down how to get started and all the ways you can use it in your mom life (and beyond!)

Making decisions in your home like a CEO Jun 10, 2021

One of the best decisions I ever made was to run my home like I run my business. It's allowed us to create systems and routines that suit everyone and keep us on track like a well-oiled machine.

Being a CEO isn't about making all of the decisions, it's about making the right ones. You get to choose the type of household CEO you want to be and design your life in a way that fits your values.

Why we're committed to having uncomfortable conversations with our kids Jun 03, 2021

"I'll tell you when you're older." isn't a phrase we say in the Hennessy house. My husband and I are committed to having uncomfortable conversations with our children at every age (in age appropriate ways, of course.)

It can be difficult to get over our own discomfort and lack of confidence, but what an amazing opportunity it is to have an open dialogue with our children and create a safe space for them to ask questions.

3 simple ways to set your future self up for success every day May 27, 2021

One of my favorite ways to stay productive is to think of my future self as a different person, someone worthy of success and peace. She is someone worthy of having things set up for her without extra and added stress.

This idea of setting your future self (even if it's just the you in a few hours) is so freeing and can help build momentum in everything we do. Here are 3 simple ways to get started and show your future self she's worthy of time freedom.

5 tools that keep our family organized May 20, 2021

No woman is an island and this house and family or 4 does not run on it's own. I love a good tool, especially when it makes my life easier. I thrive on simplicity and have created a home that helps us maintain simple systems.

Let's talk about 5 tools that keep our family organized (and able to maintain it, too!)

How to say no without justifications May 13, 2021

No is a complete sentence. What a freeing statement. In theory, it sounds empowering, but what about the people pleasing need to provide a justification for every no we speak.

You don't owe anyone a reason or a justification for your boundaries or your choices and today in a great day to start saying no without the need to explain why.

How to create (and maintain) a seasonal routine May 06, 2021

Not every routine is made for every season. We know that motherhood is all about the ebbs and flows and just like nature, seasons come and go. This can make creating routines that stick feel more difficult.

I want to uncomplicate the process of creating a seasonal routine that fits your life, whether it be a cleaning routine during the summer months, a nightly routine during sports season or a day-to-day schedule with a new baby.

Let's talk mother-daughter relationships with Dr. Michelle Deering Apr 29, 2021

The mother-daughter relationship is one with many facets and levels. As a mother to a daughter and a daughter to a mother, I know that there can be discomfort, tension and unhealed wounds in these relationships. I'm so excited to welcome Dr. Michelle Deering to the podcast to discuss these relationships and how we can learn from them as both mothers and daughters.

Head to the show notes for more information and details on this episode.

An easier approach when motherhood feels hard Apr 22, 2021

There is no doubt that motherhood, no matter the season, often feels hard, plain and simple. There's nothing worse than feeling like you're failing all while someone else tells you how "easy" it can be.

Instead of trying to make the situations (which are often out of my control) easier, I'm focusing on bringing ease to my approach. That means uncomplicating my decisions, my schedule, my home and my boundaries.

In a world with so much out of our control, it's time to step up and take back control of our approach to life because ease just feels more empowering.

3 simple ways to uncomplicate goals Apr 15, 2021

We're in the second quarter of the year, a time when most of us realize that those new year's resolutions and goals have fallen by the wayside. It's ok and it happens to all of us.

I want to help you create goals you can stick to, without the complication, long-term commitments or difficult methods. Today, let's talk about 3 simple ways to uncomplicate your goals and make them stick.

Cleaning your house when you hate cleaning Apr 08, 2021

Raise your hand if you hate cleaning?

I get it. Especially with busy mom lives, cleaning just seems like one more thing to do and a never-ending chore. You clean one room and another is getting messy.

One of the pillars here at Mother Like a Boss is simplicity in all things home management. That includes cleaning. In today's episode, I'm giving the low down on how to clean your house (and keep it that way) even if you really hate doing it.

The comparison trap: The good, the bad and the uncomfortable Apr 01, 2021

It's been said that comparison is the thief of joy and it couldn't be more true. Social media has made it easier than ever to gaze at the highlight reels that others post and cause us to compare ourselves constantly to them.

However, comparison isn't always bad. When we use it as a form of inspiration, it can be joyous. The issue is when we compare for the sake of self-judgement.

Today, we're going to talk the good, the bad and the uncomfortable when it comes to the comparison trap.

Small steps create big leaps! Mar 25, 2021

No one gets where they are without taking a million small steps to be there. The same is true in motherhood, in business, working towards your goals, anything. Our children don't learn to run at full speed before they can crawl. Why? Because it's the small steps, the consistency, the learning and mistakes, and follow through where big leaps and full speed ahead success is found.

This is a pep-talk meets value-packed episode on the benefit of loving on the small steps rather than waiting around for the big score of a goal to be reached.

Plus, our incredible accountability community is opening back up for enrollment for a limited time. Head to www.smallstepssociety.com to join this round!

The importance of a motherhood support system Mar 18, 2021

Motherhood is such a beautiful gift, but let's be really honest, it can also be lonely. Really lonely.

Moms deserve a support system. We deserve a group of other friends and family that cheer us on and encourage us. But where do we start? Let's talk about it.

How to stop the "all or nothing" cycle Mar 11, 2021

If you're a perfectionist and you know it clap your hands...and a sea of noise erupts

There is no shame in the perfectionist game, except when there is. The ego creates a world inside your mind when you should be able to do it all, or nothing at all (like O-Town would say) The problem is, we'll never be able to do it all meaning that the only option left is nothing.

I've had enough of mom guilt Mar 04, 2021

My boldness is coming out in big ways today and I don't know that it will resonate with everyone. I making a statement here and now because in 2021, I've had enough of mom guilt. I've had enough of the way it makes us feel, the hoops it makes us jump through, the judgement is stabs at our souls. We deserve better than feeling guilty for just existing.

Modern homemaking Q&A Feb 25, 2021

You asked, I'm answering!

I get a lot of questions about homemaking, home management and motherhood, so in this episode I'm going to answer those for you. We all know that when one person has a question, it means many people behind the scenes do, too!

A new approach to delegating and chores Feb 18, 2021

I get asked about chores a lot. What chores to give kids, at what ages to start, what to do when they don't do their chores, how to create better chore routines? The truth is, there is no one way that fits every household or lifestyle. What I have found is that when we approach delegation from a place of empowerment versus nagging, the results speak for themselves.

This is a different approach to delegating and chores, beyond the charts, schedules, reward systems and routines.

Let's talk momentum over motivation Feb 11, 2021

Yup, we've talked about this topic before and yup, there is another couple of episodes touching on this topic and yup we're talking about it again. It deserves an even deeper discussion because the power of creating momentum in your life versus waiting for motivation to hit you like a bolt of lightning can't be understated.

We all want to know how to get more done without having to to do, because good heavens moms are already doing enough. The answer is momentum and I want to show you exactly why that's the case in today's episode. Save your seat at the Momentum Over Motivation Challenge. Click here to join us.

Organizing your life and making it stick! Feb 04, 2021

Time to get organized! (side eye coming at me, I know) Organization has been widely misunderstood for years. You don’t get organized by buying cute baskets from Home Goods or buying the coolest label maker on the market, as much as we all wish that was the case. Organizing your life is all about simple systems that you can duplicate and replicate.

But we all know that it isn't starting the systems that's hard, it's maintaining them. So let's talk about how to organize your life, your schedule and your home and finally make it stick.

Homemaking, 2021 style Jan 28, 2021

Yup, homemaking still matters in 2021. It mattered last year, it mattered 100 years ago and it will matter 100 years from now (at least, I imagine it will.) Why? Homemaking is nothing more than a cultivation of what matters to you in your life. Because whether you're a mom that works a traditional 9-5, owns a business or stays home to raise her kids full time, your home matters and you deserve to live your life without the stress and burden that has traditionally fallen on the shoulders of moms.

So let's talk homemaking, 2021 style.

How to actually create routines that work for you Jan 21, 2021

There is no shortage of information on routines these days. Throw a rock on Pinterest and you'll find a blog post, a chore chart, a color-coded schedule or a guru claiming they know the absolute best morning routine that will change your life. The thing is, how do you know what actually works?

After 5 years of helping tens of thousands of moms create routines that work for their unique lives, I want to give you the 411 on the truths and myths that are wasting your time each day. Routines can (and should be) simple. If it feels too complicated, it probably is. Feeling the burden of doing all the things? Wishing you could consistently keep those promises you make to yourself? Same, mama! I created the Let's Get Consistent Tracker and Guide for you. Download it for FREE here.

How to feel better by doing less Jan 14, 2021

Where my overachievers at? If you grew up getting praise when you did more, you're probably thinking that doing less is lazy. We've been conditioned by a world that tells us that more is better, because doing more is how we prove our worth.

This is an episode all about the beauty and power of doing less as a way to feel better; emotionally, mentally and physically. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, mama. Be sure to head over to the podcast directory to binge more episodes and find everything you want organized by topic here.

Let's talk about limiting beliefs Jan 07, 2021

Our beliefs are everything. What we believe about ourselves is everything. Limiting beliefs are the false thoughts that keep us from living the life we want and going for our biggest goals and desires.

The problem is that most of us don't know we have limiting beliefs. Our egos convince us that they're true. If you're finding you can't ever break through a ceiling in your life, this is the episode you need to listen to. Understanding your limiting beliefs is the first step to stopping the mama self sabotage.

How to close out a challenging year (and prepare for 2021) Dec 31, 2020

We all know what kind of a year 2020 has been, but with all of the challenges we've had, we've also been given a lot of lessons to learn from. This "new year" is going to look different than any in the past, so how do we wrap up a challenging year while preparing ourselves for whatever 2021 has for us?

How to actually follow through on all those plans you made Dec 14, 2020

Oooooo, raise your hand if you're a planner like me? I'm not just talking about that physical hardcover planning calendar you buy every year or the case full of Paper Mate colored flair pens you use to doodle out the future, I mean the hours and hours you spend making plans only to never follow through on them. Life happens, but the thing is, life will always happen.

So how do we follow through on those plans we make, whether it's a small daily task, a new habit we want to form, a better routine we want to follow or a big, scary goal we're ready to crush.

We've opened the doors to Small Steps Society™ and you're invited, friend! Click here for all the details.

You deserve to be happy: An episode on worth Dec 10, 2020

How often are you truly taking the time to be happy, for no other reason that it feels good to feel that way? Self worth is difficult for moms who feel like we constantly have to earn the reward of happiness, or gain it from making others happy first. Let's have an honest and powerful discussion about the meaning of worth and the happiness you deserve.

Creating an incredibly imperfect holiday season Dec 03, 2020

The holiday season is here and probably looking much different in 2020 than it has in the past. It's time to ditch the traditional stress and create new traditions that serve you. An imperfect holiday season sounds like exactly what we all need.

A mom's guide to starting a business (in any motherhood season!) Nov 27, 2020

Calling all the mamas out there who are ready to start a business, but have no idea where to begin. I've started two super successful businesses: one while I was pregnant, 22 years old and totally uneducated about starting a business and another while I was still running my first business, all with a 9 year old and 3 year old in tow. I know a few things, but more importantly, I've LEARNED a few things.

13 years of starting, growing and scaling businesses as a busy mom has taught me huge lessons, and I want to share them with you now. If you're confused and overwhelmed with where to start in business, this is a must-listen episode.

Plus, I have a special Black Friday invitation for you to keep doing the work to start a business, no matter what season of motherhood you're in right now. This is UNMISSABLE, friends.

"Is this urgent or important?": An honest look at priorities Nov 19, 2020

You're in the middle of an important task and your phone dings. You stop what you're doing to check, thinking it's just as important as the task you're doing. Turns out, it was a spam text message. Now you're off track, annoyed and have to switch back to that important task you were doing in the first place.

Just because something is urgent does not make it important and vice versa. It all comes down to priorities, a tricky little idea in motherhood where everything feels important and urgent. This episode explores what priorities really are and how to implement them more effectively into your life without feeling like you're doing all the things.

Consistency and confidence: A perfect match Nov 12, 2020

"I'll get things done when I'm more confident." How many times have you thought or said this? Here's the issue: confidence comes from consistency. It comes from doing the same thing over and over, imperfectly until one day you realize you're more confident than the day before.

But consistency isn't always easy and feels, well, kinda boring. So let's talk about how to implement small touches of consistency into your day and build your confidence through doing, not wishing and waiting.

How I'm healing my relationship with myself Nov 05, 2020

Do you know the most important relationship you'll ever have the privilege of being involved in? The one you have with yourself. Our relationship with ourselves is life long and yet the one we neglect the most.

After many years of neglecting how I treat myself, I'm doing the work to heal brokenness, even when it's messy, even when it's not fun. I deserve to feel good in my own mind and so do you.

Resetting "the bar" in motherhood and living YOUR best life Oct 29, 2020

I'm passionate about helping moms discover and design their own uniquely best lives. That means resetting the bar and what it means for you.

You're allowed to create a life that suits your values and vision, whether it fits what the world around you says is best. Your goals should meet you where you are right now without judgement or having to sacrifice what you love.

Changing your "shoulds" into "coulds" Oct 22, 2020

How often are you "shoulding" on yourself? "I should be doing something different. I should be able to get more done. I should be a better mom. I should stay home. I should work. I should put that laundry away. I should make more money. I should be cleaner. I should, I should I should."

Shoulds are obligations. Coulds are possibilities. I don't know about you, but possibilities feel way lighter and more fun than obligation and duty.

Don't miss out on the Your Best Life Planning Party. Save your spot here.

Why traditional goal setting is failing moms and what I'm doing instead Oct 15, 2020

Goals. We love 'em. We hate 'em. They scare us. They annoy us.

Motherhood creates unique challenges, hurdles and struggles, so why are we trying to achieve goals the same way as everyone else? You feel burnt out, overwhelmed and under appreciated, and sitting down to create a list of audacious goals to go after is just one more thing on the to-do list.

I've created a new framework for deciding what I want and how I'm going to get it, both in my business and personal life because I deserve to reach my goals not matter how big or small they are. So do you. Let's flip the whole goal culture upside down.

Rewriting your motherhood story Oct 08, 2020

Your motherhood story is unique to you, but who are you letting write and narrate it? Your past? Your society? Your in-laws? The mommy groups you're a part of on Facebook?

If given the opportunity to rewrite the story of how you want to show up in motherhood for yourself and your children, what would it sound like? Let's erase the current narrative and rewrite your story to one that allows you more peace and less burnout.

Q&A "How can I stop feeling jealous of people who have what I want?" Oct 01, 2020

It's Q&A time again and like a fun little mail bag that children's TV hosts would pull audience letters from, I read your messages and DMs to choose the most asked questions. And this one comes up a LOT.

Gratitude is great, but what about all that jealousy that bubbles up when you see another woman who has more than you, who has it better than you, who has something you want...or so you perceive it to be. I have some great insight into what that jealously might actually be and how to shift our thoughts to, "How can I have that?" versus, "Why don't I have that?!"

Hey moms, let's talk about the ego Sep 17, 2020

Ok, we're getting deep mamas. We're talking about the identities we've created for ourselves, the beliefs we hold and the reasons that most of them are complete crap. Ouch! So why do they seem so real? The ego.

Whether it's in psychology class or a self-help book or in reference to someone who thinks highly of themselves or even on this podcast, you've probably heard about the ego before. There are many different descriptions and definitions of the ego out there, but we're going to talk about what it means for your mindset. She's a mean girl and a tantrumy toddler all rolled into one and it's time to finally recognize the ego for what she is: an identity we've created.

How to enjoy the journey on the path to your goal Sep 10, 2020

Let's face it: 2020 did a lot of our goals dirty. January 1 seems like a lifetime ago and many of the things we thought we'd be doing got deferred or cancelled. The biggest obstacle to reaching a goal isn't always the outside circumstances, though, it's our inability to let time pass. How do we enjoy the journey, as slow as it may seem, on our way to what we're after without wanting to give up along the way?

We bought our dream house! A sneak peek inside the mindset, the move and the making of brand new routines Sep 03, 2020

We did it! We bought our dream home and it only took 10 years for the dream to become a reality. A long time for some, but exactly the right time for us. No dream or goal is realized without a whole lot of blood, sweat, and copious amounts of tears, and I'm breaking it all down in this episode.

I had to change a lot of beliefs and thoughts to make this possible, so let me share with you the biggest shifts in mindset that had to be made in order to get here, as well as the new routines we're putting into place now so that we can spend more time enjoying our home.

No, you don't need to be motivated to get things done Aug 20, 2020

"I just don't feel motivated." How many times have you said this while sitting on the couch, watching another episode of Gilmore Girls, not doing that thing you totally said you were going to do? Samesies, friend. You know why motivation is so hard? Because you're never going to be motivated to do crap you don't want to do, plain and simple.

The most freeing moment of my life was when I realized I didn't have to be motivated to get things done, and that I could rely on momentum over all else. Motivation is a fleeting emotion. If you aren't feeling, you can't just summon it to come. This episode explores and invites you to ditch the idea of motivation so you can actually get things done and feel good about it.

Q&A: "I'm moving! How can I keep my house clean from the start?" Aug 13, 2020

It's another Q&A episode here at the Mother Like a Boss podcast. I love taking your popular and frequently asked questions and giving you some guidance when I can.

As I prepare for my own move into our new house, I figured this was a fitting question to answer. A new home is a fresh start and a great time to revamp old routines, especially cleaning.

An honest conversation about resentment in motherhood Aug 06, 2020

I'm going to say something that will immediately ruffles some feathers: there have been times in my 13 years as a mom that I've felt resentful of the life I'd created. I'm saying that out loud in the podcast today as a way to start the conversation and end the shame. Resentment is the bi-product of circumstances, mindsets and beliefs and it doesn't mean you don't absolutely love your children.

Ignoring the feelings, or believing that this has to be " the way it is" in modern motherhood is going to keep resentment at the wheel, driving your life and causing you more unhappiness. You deserve more. Let's have an open and honest conversation about where it comes from and how to handle the feelings.

BEST OF: The cost of constantly complaining Jul 30, 2020

It's our BEST OF series, summer edition.

The only thing worse than complaining is the complaining about complaining. This episode is complain-free. Instead, this is an honest discussion about the price we're all paying by living our lives through the lens of negativity and complaints.

Complaining is more than just negativity about your situation, it's a grasp for control in the moment. But what is the cost of doing that all the time and what example are we really setting for our children?

BEST OF: Meal planning 101 (even if you hate meal planning) Jul 23, 2020

It's "best of" month and we're taking it back in time to some of our most popular and influential episodes to date. Today, we're taking you back to meal planning 101 (even for those of you that really hate meal planning. I see you...)

I'll be honest, I have had a love/hate relationship with meal planning over the years. As I dig in deeper to that relationship, I realize it all comes down to the challenge most of us face: overcomplication-itis

Meal planning can be as simplistic or as sophisticated as your heart desires (or your time allows) but let's talk about how to get started and make it easy, even if the thought of meal planning makes you gag.

BEST OF: How to clean like a professional house cleaner Jul 16, 2020

It's "best of" month and we're taking it back in time to some of our most popular and influential episodes to date. Today's episode is packed with practical and valuable tips to make cleaning your home less complicated.

After 11 years in the professional house cleaning biz, I learned a thing or two about how to clean more effectively in less time. It isn't about being the best. I started out knowing absolutely nothing, but over time I learned and it helped me not only build a thriving business, but also keep my own house clean in less time. I'm passing on this knowledge to my own kids now, and onto you.

You don't have to like cleaning to clean like a pro. It's all about making small shifts that have lasting results. Cleaning shouldn't be taking up all your time, friend.

It is officially time to let go of all the myths and lies we've been believing as homemakers and embrace the finer parts of making a home that don't involve the likes of Pinterest-perfect perfectionism or burdened mothers acting as servants.

In this busy, noisy world, it may be more important than ever to cultivate a space in your life that covers you from the stresses of the outside world. Modern homemakers, unite.

The one's for the people pleasers Jun 08, 2020

Where are all my people pleasers at? *sees all the hands raised*

It feels like being a people pleaser would be a great thing. Who doesn't want to make others happy? But is that really what we're doing when we put everyone else's happiness and well-being before our own, or are we really just avoiding the discomfort that comes from setting boundaries?

Are we really concerned with appeasing other people, or are we concerned with how we'll be perceived if we don't?

When "Just think positive!" becomes toxic May 21, 2020

"Just think positive!" We've all heard it. We've all said it. It seems so harmless. It's good advice, right? Right...until it's not.

Positivity is a beautiful thing, but pretending to be positive by neglecting our true feelings is not. Positivity can become a toxic cycle when we're using it to avoid our true feelings and emotions, or the uncomfortable work that needs to be done on our mindset.

You're allowed to NOT feel positive, mama. Let's chat about how to create a more positive mindset for you without in a way that feels freeing, not shameful or toxic.

There is so much more to explore and learn from this episode. Check out the show notes and other goodies here.

5 ways to help your children create a growth mindset May 14, 2020

A growth mindset is an open mindset and our children deserve to learn the power of creating abundance and success on their own terms. Growth mindset is the belief that anything is possible and that we are in fact NOT victims of our own circumstances. The earlier children learn the power of their own thoughts, the more equipped they will be in adulthood to focus on growth and joy over the limits they self-impose.

Let's have a real talk about mommy burnout Apr 23, 2020

In the adulting Olympics, moms would be the juggling champions, hands-down (wouldn't it be great if that were an actual Olympic sport?!) Moms are master jugglers and pride themselves on doing all the things, but is doing all the things the right thing?

Mommy burnout is a hot topic these days and what I've found is there is a lot of blame going around. So let's have a real conversation about mommy burnout, where is stems from, how we can take responsibility for it and how we can free ourselves from it once and for all.

How to love your home even if you don't love your house Apr 16, 2020

This is a common one, mamas and it's worth an honest conversation.

Living in a house you aren't super jazzed about can affect how you feel about your home overall. Our houses are dwellings, but our homes are a feeling. We carry them with us wherever we go. How do we go about loving our homes when we don't exactly love the dwellings we're in?

The true difference between embracing imperfection and settling for less Apr 09, 2020

Progress over perfection is a beautiful and powerful quote and mindset shift. Perfection is an unattainable goal and reaching for it wastes heaps of time, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for less. Embracing a life of imperfect effort and imperfect moments is not the same as settling for less than you truly desire.

Creating your optimal (NOT perfect) day Mar 12, 2020

Someone once asked me, "What does your perfect day look like?" and my response was "I looks like an imperfect day because I can't create a perfect day."

The word "optimal" has been popping up in my life lately and while I usually teach about how to create your ideal day, I've started to shift a bit. What if we thought about creating a framework for our days around what is optimal, what is best? What would serve us the best? What can we get rid of? What can we keep? If your day was created around peak performance in the season you're in now with the resources you have now, what would it look like? Let's explore that. This episode is pure fire!

The power of self-compassion Mar 05, 2020

The nurturing soul of a mother is full of compassion for her children, but how much warmth and understanding do you extend to yourself? We're conditioned to be hard on ourselves because the mindset of perfectionism runs deep. What would happen if we showed ourselves the same grace and compassion in our worst moments that we do for other people?

Why I stopped trying to make my kids happy Feb 20, 2020

Moms are nurturers by nature and nothing feels more nurturing than providing our kids with happy lives. However, in my never-ending quest in the self-development world, I've realized that fostering happiness is not the same as constantly trying to force happiness onto my children.

We are not responsible for the emotions of others and micromanaging the feelings of our kiddos is exhausting and pretty unproductive. I want to create a safe space for my children to feel a wide range of emotions, so that when they're unhappy, they learn to cope instead of seek out someone to fill them up. The road can feel difficult, mama and I hope this episode helps you navigate it.

How to stay confident in your choices in the era of sanctimommies Feb 13, 2020

Remember the days when you didn't know everyone's opinion about everything and they didn't know your opinion about everything either? The good old days. Opinions are great because they make us all different, but being sanctimonious in the way we show up with those opinions can be damaging to the confidence level of us all, moms included.

Everywhere you turn, it seems like the sanctimommies have taken over, judging other moms for how they live. How can we stay confident in how we show up for our lives when it seems like we're always being judged, or are judging others? More lovingly, how can we understand why moms are so much more judgmental these days and show them compassion in their not-so-kind moments.

What it means to be a homemaker in 2020 Feb 06, 2020

Times may be changing, but homemaking is still important. Why? Because your home is more than the cleaning, the cooking, the momming. A home is what happens inside and outside the walls, separate from the material world. Our homes are intangible, a feeling more than anything. That never stops being important.

So what does that mean for modern moms and reluctant homemakers alike? Today is a discussion that answers that very questions with truth and respect.

From the viewpoint of a stepchild Jan 30, 2020

Vulnerable. That's what this episode is. In my motherhood communities, we get a lot of questions about step, or bonus parenting. I may not be a stepparents, but I am a stepchild and have been since I was 3. I wanted to open up on this episode and give a unique perspective from the viewpoint of a "bonus kid." Sometimes, the best ways to approach difficult situations are by putting yourself in the other person's shoes.

"I am worthy of being taken care of" Jan 27, 2020

This month, our mindfulness episodes are focused simply on a statement, an affirmation to base your mindset shift on. You spend your life caring for your children, your family and the people around you, but you are worthy of being taken care of, too. The more you are filled with love from yourself and care from those around you, the more you'll have to give without resentment or exhaustion.

Q&A with my teenage daughter Jan 16, 2020

It's official: I'm the mother of a teenager daughter.

Someone catch me as I fall over in disbelief.

I am uninterested in typecasting her in the role of "moody teen" and instead plan to let her forge her own path, emotions and all.

We thought it would be a great way to celebrate the birth of my first born by doing an insightful and honest Q&A session with her. Our listeners (and their teens!) asked and we answered.

You'll hear everything from how she feels about having entrepreneur parents to how she deals with peer pressure to how she stays confident in a world that tries to strip girls of their worth. This is the perfect episode to listen to with your daughters, your preteens and your teens alike.

The trap of being an overachiever Jan 09, 2020

Being an overachiever was a badge of honor for much of my life. Achieving gave me purpose and accolades made me feel worthy, but at what cost?

There is a trap that's easy to fall into as a go-getter, an overachiever in life and it's time we discuss what price we pay in motherhood for falling into this trap. The gold-star mentality can be costly when no one is handing us gold stars anymore.

If you've been around the Mother Like a Boss™ world for any amount of time, you know one of my signature phrases is, "Routines should fit into your life, not the other way around."

How I found financial freedom through my online business Oct 24, 2019

When I started my first business at 22, not knowing anything about business, I didn't think much about financial freedom. I was brought up to believe you worked, made money then retired. It wasn't until years later when I opened my mind to new possibilities that I realized I could create my own financial freedom for my family while empowering moms around the world to create freedom in their own homes.

The question gets asked often, "How did you start Mother Like a Boss and how has it helped your family?" As always, I'm opening up in another vulnerable episode that I hope will empower more women to seek financial and time freedom for themselves.

Are you afraid of succeeding? Oct 21, 2019

We're all familiar with fear of failure, but what about a fear of success? It seems downright nutty to fear doing well and yet here so many of us sit afraid of being too much, having too much or maintaining too much.

Whether it's at a job, in a business, at home with your kids, in your marriage or just managing your home, fear of success is real and ultimately causes us to self-sabotage so we never quite reach a level that seems out of reach.

Finding the best way versus the right way Oct 17, 2019

How focused are you on doing things the "right" way? Does not knowing the right way keep you from doing anything at all? The personal self-sabotage is dangerous as a mom, because there is no right way, no perfect way.

Instead, let's work on finding the BEST way. The best way that works for our home, our family, our values and our schedules.

Be loving, set boundaries Oct 14, 2019

Boundaries feel difficult to set, but how much more difficult are you making your relationships by NOT setting boundaries? Whether it's at home, with your children, at work or with difficult family members, healthy boundaries are about showing love for others and ourselves.

How I actually keep my house clean in under 30 minutes a day Oct 10, 2019

I'm still shocked at how controversial the topic of house cleaning can be in the motherhood community and how dead-set we all are that it has to be the worst, most exhausting thing in the world. It's no wonder how many side-eyes I get when I say I spend only 30 minutes a day cleaning my house.

With two kids, a business and a slew of other responsibilities, I'm pretty uninterested in spending my precious moments cleaning inefficiently. I want to give you back your minutes and allow you to spend less time cleaning and more time living.

What if you said "no" more often? Oct 07, 2019

In a world dead set on saying yes to every opportunity that comes along, what would happen if you said no more often? What would life be like if you said no to the things that don't truly serve your personal and family priorities and left room to yes to the things that do?

The truth about expectations Oct 03, 2019

"I have high expectations." is a phrase I've heard my entire life, from teachers, parents and even out of my own life. But what does that really mean? In the world of motherhood, having expectations of our children and family can cause more resentment than good, especially when they aren't communicated.

How do you truly create a home that is managed well without demanding unrealistic expectations of yourself and others, and what does unrealistic even mean? How can we learn to let go of control that expectations hold over others and start communicating our needs in a productive way?

5 words and phrases we don't use in our home Sep 26, 2019

We're not an overly strict household. I'm not an overly strict mother, but when it comes to the words we use in our house, my husband and I are sticklers.

The words and phrases we use matter, and I don't mean swearing. I mean the negative words we've let infiltrate our daily conversations that get passed down to our children. I'm far from perfect but eliminating certain words and phrases have given us the power of positivity and abundance for our family.

My money story Sep 19, 2019

Money is a loaded topic and one most people stay away from.

But not me.

I love money because I know the true power that can be found when good people have money. As women, we're still playing catch-up and money can feel like an icky topic, especially if we're not the one "bringing home the bacon."

It's still important. I'm here to tell my own winding story and shed some light on the transformation you can make when you become educated about money, your own money issues and what you can do when you face up to the financial situation you're in.

Greed is different than abundance Sep 16, 2019

We're bringing back Mindset Mondays, and now with a twist. These episodes are 5 minutes or less and just what you need to get a kick-in-the-butt nudge of empowerment for your week.

Wanting more for yourself isn't greedy, so why does it feel that way? Because we've been told our entire lives that giving is more important than taking. But abundance isn't about taking, it's about receiving and the more you receive, the more you can give. This is a short, powerful episode with words that will strike at the heart of this issue: Greed and abundance are NOT the same.

How to create your home's culture and why it's so important Sep 05, 2019

The way we run our home is so much more than the sum of it's parts. It's more than the cleaning, the cooking, the wiping butts and playing taxi driver to our kids. Much like any other social group, our home is built on the culture we create for it.

On today's episode, I want to take you inside this idea and why spending all of your time focusing and stressing about the minutia of day-to-day homemaking isn't solving the problem. Let's chat about how creating a culture in your home that fits with your values will bring you more joy (and less wanting to huddle in a corner and cry.)

What I wish I had known about homemaking 13 years ago Aug 22, 2019

They say hindsight is 20-20. I think that phrase was created about motherhood. We go into this season of newness not knowing what to expect, but expecting to know it all. Of course, we don't.

I resisted homemaking for years, or at least the word itself. Embracing it for what it can do for my life has brought me peace and joy beyond measure. Today, I'm traveling back in time and telling my former self what I wish I knew about homemaking and motherhood then.

Q&A: "How do I get my kids to do chores without constantly nagging?" Aug 15, 2019

We're pulling a question out of the figurative mail bag today for some Q&A action. Today's burning question: "How do I get my kids to do chores without constantly nagging?" It isn't nearly as difficult as we're all making it, but it's going to require more than an expensive chore chart from Etsy and a fancy reward system.

Meal planning 101 (even if you hate meal planning) Aug 08, 2019

I'll be honest, I have had a love/hate relationship with meal planning over the years. As I dig in deeper to that relationship, I realize it all comes down to the challenge most of us face: overcomplication-itis

Meal planning can be as simplistic or as sophisticated as your heart desires (or your time allows) but let's talk about how to get started and make it easy, even if the thought of meal planning makes you gag.

How to embrace homemaking as a modern, incredible woman Jul 25, 2019

We are women, hear us roar! Modern women are the raddest, but we also have more on our plates than ever before. We're also absorbing information at more rapid rate now and playing the comparison game with everyone we follow on social media.

With all that's being thrown at us, homemaking is more important than ever before. Now, I'm not talking about that outdated June Cleaver-esque perfectionism we all picture when I say the word "homemaking." Instead, I'm talking today about how we can still embrace running a home, even as the most awesome modern version of you that there is.

The cost of constantly complaining Jul 11, 2019

The only thing worse than complaining is the complaining about complaining. This episode is complain-free. Instead, this is an honest discussion about the price we're all paying by living our lives through the lens of negativity and complaints.

Complaining is more than just negativity about your situation, it's a grasp for control in the moment. But what is the cost of doing that all the time and what example are we really setting for our children?

How to deal with criticism and negativity Jun 27, 2019

I have to admit that it feels like we're drowning in negativity these days and moms are getting the brunt of it. Everyone has an opinion on how you should raise your children and live your life, but are all opinions bad? Is all criticism negative? And how to be sift through the opinions without feeling worse about ourselves?

I'm opening up today about the negativity and criticism I receive in my business and how I've learned to deal with the so-called "haters." What I really want you to take from this episode is how you, the mom who just wants to live her life and love her children, can deal with criticism being hurled your way and decide which is constructive and which is just judgy negativity.

During today’s episode, I also list a series of qualifying questions I go through whenever I feel the critical eye upon me. Here are those questions for your reference:

Do I know them?
Do they know me?
Do I respect them or their opinion?
Is their opinion or criticism related to something I’m interested in changing?
If this came from someone else, would I feel differently?
Why is this triggering me?

The real truth about the "hot mess mom" culture Jun 24, 2019

Today, I'm getting as honest and real as I can about the pervasive "hot mess mommy" culture that's swept through motherhood over the last few decades, and giving my thoughts on why we at Mother Like a Boss™ choose to take a very different approach to empowering women.

Is it really helping us to be told that motherhood HAS to be a struggle, day- in and day-out? Not that is "can" be a struggle, or "will feel" like a struggle, but that it is absolute and we have no choice in the matter? What if instead, we acknowledged the messy days and messy seasons without creating a culture that perpetuates negativity in motherhood.

Moms deserve a life-jacket, not a boat to circle us round and round telling us that drowning in mom life is just something we should have to accept.

If you're ready for truth and some real mom empowerment, this is your episode, mama.

When good goals go bad Jun 17, 2019

Not all goals are created equal. We're taught to aim for the stars and reach for the moon, but if what you want out of life doesn't require you to shoot rockets off into space, why are you?

Mothers are led to believe there is one way to do things: one way to run their home, one way to be a mom, one way to do it all. Your aspirations shouldn't reflect what you "think" you should be aiming for. Putting effort into the wrong thing is what makes good goals go bad.

Why motherhood feels like a struggle (and why it doesn't have to be) Jun 10, 2019

Living with an abundant mindset without needing more "stuff" Jun 06, 2019

We are surrounded by more stuff than ever, but feel more lack than we ever have. Having more can be a convenient way to fill the voids we feel, but that isn't based in abundance.

Having an attitude of plentifulness doesn't mean we have to give in to amassing more stuff just for the sake of having more stuff.

Why we need to stop shaming our way into gratitude Jun 03, 2019

Gratitude is truly a gateway to a life of joy and fulfillment, but it doesn't need to to something we shame our way into when you're feeling down. We're allowed to feel our feelings. Whether it's frustration, anger, guilt or sadness, our feelings are real. We can use gratitude as an invitation to shift those feelings, not a punishment for not feeling happy.

Why I don't live with FOMO May 13, 2019

FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out

I saw that acronym floating around the interwebs last year and admittedly had to Google it (old person, party of 1)

I know the feeling. I've been there. Saying yes to things not because I want to do them, but because I fear missing out. Social media has made us more fearful than ever as moms of missing out (or having our children) miss out on what everything else is experiencing.

But your life doesn't have to be shrouded in fear. What if instead of fearing what you're missing, you embrace what you're experiencing?

Does everything in your home have a home? May 06, 2019

"A place for everything and everything in its place." A cheesy cliche, but a true statement. You don't have to go label crazy or spend every dollar you have at The Container Store to organize your home enough so that everything has a place to go. Giving your "stuff" a home is the easiest way to repel clutter and creates systems that are easy to follow and sustain in your home.

With a ton of giddy excitement, I'm welcoming Allie back to the podcast and our conversation goes deep into the difficulties of finding and keeping friends when you're a mom.

Time to put some skin in the game Apr 22, 2019

When was the last time you truly invested in yourself, either with money or time? Moms are notoriously bad at deciding we're worthy of investment, as we're so used to giving to our families.

This episode is one of tough love, but it's all the advice and encouragement I wish someone had given me 13 years ago.

Confessions of a "submarine parent" Apr 18, 2019

I'll admit, I'm not a hoverer. I've always been independent and want to raise my children to be the same. Because of this, I consider myself a submarine parent: you know, the kind that sits below the surface, comes up to check on things every now and then, and goes back below the surface if all is good.

This isn't a judgement of anyone else's parenting style. Quite the opposite. This is the confession of a parent that tries to ride the line between overbearing and totally passive. We're all in this together, mamas. (and no matter how you're parenting your children, we'll all eventually just find ourselves fishing a Cheerio out of someone's nose in the middle of the night.)

How to stop trying to keep up with the (mom) Joneses Apr 11, 2019

Motherhood is a journey and we're all on our own path, so why are we so focused on what everyone else is doing? We've become obsessed with keeping up with other moms who are trying to keep up with other moms who are trying to keep up with other moms. It's a cycle of comparison that is disempowering and fruitless.

Let's instead compare ourselves to others only when it empowers us to do better and encourages us that if she can do it, so can I. It's time for us to run (or walk, or crawl, or waddle) our own races, mamas.

Keeping our word to ourselves Apr 08, 2019

"I say what I mean and I mean what I say." I've been known to utter this phrase once or twice (or a hundred) times as a mom, but do I really mean it when it comes to myself? We're so busy trying to keep our promises and our word to our children, our spouses and our friends that we let self-integrity fall by the wayside.

If you want to see progress, it's time to hold ourselves to the integrity we expect of others. Say what you mean and mean what you say, mama.

How to clean like a professional house cleaner Mar 14, 2019

After 11 years in the professional house cleaning biz, I learned a thing or two about how to clean more effectively in less time. It isn't about being the best. I started out knowing absolutely nothing, but over time I learned and it helped me not only build a thriving business, but also keep my own house clean in less time. I'm passing on this knowledge to my own kids now, and onto you.

You don't have to like cleaning to clean like a pro. It's all about making small shifts that have lasting results. Cleaning shouldn't be taking up all your time, friend.

Ep 114 An honest conversation about mommy judgement Feb 21, 2019

"We are very good judges for the mistakes of others and very good defense lawyers for our own mistakes." -Nicky Gumble

We live in a very judgmental mom culture, where there is always someone to let you know you're making a mistake or the wrong choice. Mommy judgement is alive and well, but what about also discussing our own judgements of others and ourselves?

Today, I want to have an honest and open discussion about judgement. What it really means, where it really comes from and how we can start to pull away from people in our lives that have nothing but judgmental things to say to us on the regular.

New seasons bring about new changes and when we're stepping up to improve our lives, we're creating a new normal for ourselves.

Ep 112 Lessons from a life-long worrier Feb 14, 2019

Would you consider yourself a worrier? I used to be and call myself a recovering worrier now. After years of deep work, I know now that my worry was caused not by anxiety, but rather the opposite was occurring: my need to control situations was the cause of the anxiety I felt.

Motherhood is a never-ending story of possible worry and overthinking about what could go wrong, but I've found that no amount of that overthinking makes it any easier and rarely do our worst thoughts even come true.

Today's episode is my story and a vulnerable look into how it feels to live inside your own head even when you know logically how ridiculous it is.

Ep 111 Rising above the "magic pill" culture Feb 11, 2019

In a world that wants it fast and wants it now, how can we rise above the magic pill culture we're all caught up in? I've seen the effect of what happens when we avoid the journey of life impatiently waiting for the quick fix. Doing the work IS the journey.

In this tough love inspired episode, I'm encouraging you to end your search for the magic pill or guarantee outside of yourself and begin to recognize that the only person in complete control of your success as a mom and woman, is you.

Ep 110 Yes, I practice self-care daily (and you can, too!) Feb 07, 2019

Self-care is a hot issue right now in the motherhood community and rightfully so. Moms, more than any other, are often left feeling depleted as we care for those around us and make excuses for why we can't care for ourselves. No more.

Today, I want to give you an honest and raw look at what I do everyday to care for myself above anyone else. When I'm at my best, I'm able to give my best. Although my family is my world, I will be with myself until the end and it's important that I care for my needs first so I can truly and without resentment care for others.

Ep 109 A note on self-love Feb 04, 2019

In a world where loving yourself fully and showing yourself true gratitude and appreciation is severely lacking (especially for all the mamas out there) let's change the conversation and become moms that show love to others by first showing love to ourselves.

We're nurturers to so many. It's time for us to nurture the moms we are and honor the moms we aspire to be.

Ep 107 Stop making decisions out of fear Jan 28, 2019

Around every corner in motherhood, there seems to be another thing to be afraid of. But what would our lives look like if we stopped making our everyday decisions out of fear? Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being judged? We don't have to throw caution to the wind and live recklessly in order to enjoy a life where our decisions are based more on love than on fear.

Ep 106 Organization 101 Jan 24, 2019

Getting and staying organized isn't about how many storage containers or bins you have in your home. The last thing we need is more stuff to hold our stuff. Instead, I want to help you think of organization as nothing more than a system, something that can be replicated over and over again to give you ease in your life.

So, how do YOU feel about getting organized?

Ep 104 How we handle screen time in our home Jan 17, 2019

In a world full of devices, screens, social media and all things internet based, screen time is a hot topic. It's a common question I get, "How should I handle screen time in my home?"

The truth is, I don't have all the answers. All I know is what works for us, and what works for us is setting clear boundaries and making our values clear. This episode is all about how my husband and I handle screen time in our home and what has worked for us.

Ep 103 Letting go of the need to control Jan 14, 2019

I can't even describe the ways my life positively changed when I started letting go of the need to control everything in my life and started practicing the fine art of surrender. Surrendering isn't about giving up, it's about accepting what is so you can take more inspired action.

I know how easy it is to want to white-knuckle our way through motherhood, trying to control every aspect of our children and home, but if we can let go just for a moment, we will see the beauty in surrender and ease of true beingness.

Ep 102 Minimizing what isn't needed & embracing motherhood with a purpose w/ Allie Casazza Jan 10, 2019

Let's all just face it: we are living with far too much stuff. Too many things, too many options, too many obligations. My guest today is on a mission to provide more for moms by showing them how to live with less.

Allie Casazza, host of The Purpose Show podcast, founder of the globally-praised course Your Uncluttered home, and one of my best friends in the whole word is bringing a lot of truth and wisdom in this episode.

Allie and I have an open conversation about what it's like to make motherhood your identity, why legalism is dangerous to minimalism and how you can free yourself from obligation by learning how to say NO more often. Join us, mamas.

Ep 101 Being patient with life, ourselves & our children Jan 08, 2019

They say that patience is a virtue, but did "they" ever have kids?

As a self-proclaimed impatient girl since childhood, I've seen the danger in living from a place of "Next, please. Hurry up!" Impatience strips us of the present moment.

In this episode, I want to encourage you to take a breath and move through life with more ease and less expectation. We'd be amazed what we can enjoy and experience without the wait of expediency looming over our shoulders.

Ep 099 How I'm starting 2019 with purpose Jan 01, 2019

It's a new year, mamas and that means it's time to reflect on the last 365 days and make plans for the time ahead of us. I'm not into resolutions (as heard in a previous episode.) I concentrate on intentional goals and creating a word of the year that sparks purpose in my life.

Today's episode is dedicated to starting the year off right, without lofty resolutions that won't be met. Instead, I want to talk about purpose and how you can achieve everything you want in your home, your life and your relationships in this brand new year.

Ep 097 No more resolutions (and why I gave them up) Dec 20, 2018

How is it possible that we're at the end of 2018 already? Didn't we just start?

With the end of the year coming up fast, resolutions are all the rave. Everyone has one (or ten) to set, but inevitably, most will be completely abandoned by February 1. I've fallen victim to it myself, which is why I quit the resolution game many years ago.

I'm a goal oriented person and love to challenge myself to improve and change. While I don't set up resolutions to start off my year, I do create other intentions and plans to keep me on track and growing.

Where are all my tired parents at? I know, you're probably too exhausted to even lift your hand. Sleep issues with our little ones have a profound effect on so many areas of our life as I can tell you from experience. I'm overjoyed to bring you a conversation about such a thing today with Abigail Cannon.

Ep 094 Running a home when you're self-employed Dec 13, 2018

It's funny to think that I've been self-employed for as long as I have been a mom and homemaker, but I've raised both my business and kiddos together.

Doing either of those two things can be stressful and time consuming enough, but doing them both at the same time take a bit of strategy (and a whole lot of letting go)

Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes into how I run my home as a self-employed mama with a self-employed husband as well.

Ep 093 The father behind Mother Like a Boss Dec 11, 2018

Back by popular demand is the father like a boss himself, my husband Adam. Creating and leading my mission has been a joy for me, but it isn't always easy. With kids and a home to keep up with, having someone by my side that supports me, loves me and encourages me while also taking on half of the responsibility like a good partner should has been more important than anything.

Join us for a fun, sometimes serious, sometimes silly chat about what it's like from the dad's point of view and how he views homemaking from a father's point of view.

Ep 091 Why I don't balance work & home Dec 06, 2018

To balance, by definition, means to distribute weight evenly or keep in a steady position so it doesn't fall. That doesn't sound like the kind of carefree and exciting way I want to run my business, run my home or mother my children. I've heard so much about "work/life balance" since I became a mother and entrepreneur and quite honestly, I don't practice it.

Whether you're trying to do it all and exhausting yourself by trying to walk the tightrope of work and home, or children and marriage, or work and personal, this episode is meant to encourage you to embrace the harmony of life through systems, not perfect and equal balance.

Ep 085 Creating a "sick kit" for your home Nov 20, 2018

With the holiday season and cooler weather (at least where I live) comes the runny noses and scratchy throats. But no matter what time of year it is, being sick or caring for someone in your home that's sick is no fun.

A "sick kit" should really be called a "well kit" because that's the goal. The goal of a sick kit is to keep the things on hand that we'll need to get well, so we're not making those late night trips to the drug store or scrambling for what we need.

In today's episode, I'm getting into the details of creating a kit or basket for your home and for your family.

Ep 080: 3 ways I'm still a homemaking work in progress Nov 08, 2018

I’m not perfect and to be honest, I don’t want to be. Running a home and a business simultaneously means there’s a whole lot of room for error and I welcome that. Mistakes are the lessons that allow me to be better, to do better and to teach better.

I’ve come a long way and homemaking is much easier now than it’s ever been before (thank you routines) but I’m still a work in progress. In the spirit of total transparency, I’m sharing 3 of the ways I’m still working on myself. Our goals shouldn’t be to get to a finish line, but instead run the race that feels as enjoyable as possible. That’s life. That’s motherhood.

Ep 071: How to develop a nightly routine you can fall in love with Oct 18, 2018

I have a pretty strict philosophy in my home: if it can be done at night rather than in the morning, I'm doing it. I love my nighttime routine with all my heart because it allows me to go to bed, set up for success for the next day before it even begins. I want to make future me proud of present me and not grumpy for having to start the morning off in chaos.

Today, we're talking not only about the importance of having a great evening routine, but how you can start to create one that you can stick to and fall in love with.

Ep 070 From pregnant college dropout to mom boss CEO Oct 16, 2018

I took a very deep breath as I hit publish on this episode. I’m raw, I’m vulnerable, I’m speaking my truth and telling my story.

Ep 065: My work-at-home mom schedule Oct 04, 2018

I've always been what society would consider a "working mom" although my belief is that every mom is a working mom. Since my oldest daughter was a tiny little bean inside my belly, I have owned and operated my very own business. Since going all in with Mother Like a Boss and ending my cleaning business almost 17 months ago, my schedule has dramatically changed.

Although my schedule may not look similar to yours, I wanted to give you a glimpse inside my day-to-day routines, how I worked at home before my son was in school and how it works now. Even if you don't run a business or work from home, I hope this episode is encouraging to moms of all types who want a better handle on daily routines and habits.

Ep 064: From lack mindset in motherhood to abundance Oct 02, 2018

The last 8 years of my life has been spent opening my mind up fully to the idea of how abundant our universe is and therefore, how abundant we are in life. We live with pure abundance all around us and have the ability to live from a place of unlimited possibilities, especially as mothers and yet we’re surrounded by lack mindset, lack vocabulary, lack beliefs.

The very idea of motherhood is abundant. We birth or become the caretakers of other human beings and have the capacity to open our hearts to them. It’s like love sprouts of of no where. That’s true abundance and the more we embrace that, the more enjoyable our everyday (sometimes seemingly mundane) lives will feel.

Ep 063: Mindset like a boss Monday- Cleaning doesn't have to suck Oct 01, 2018

Today's mindset shift is brought to you by the ability to clean without dragging your feet and having a toddler-like temper tantrum. We've all been there, giving the side-eye to the daily cleaning and negatively discussing how much it sucks. It doesn't have to and the more you perpetuate that belief, the more you'll find yourself hating it.

Cleaning isn't a punishment for living in your home anymore than brushing your teeth is a punishment for eating. It's a privilege to have full lives where messes occur. Change your mindset, change your life.

Ep 061: The ever changing seasons of motherhood w/ Meagan Francis Sep 25, 2018

Motherhood, like life, is a series of ever-changing seasons. There are ebbs and flows, and sometimes curveballs we didn’t expect. The key isn’t to learn how to avoid the changes, but how to roll with them.

I had the pleasure of inviting Meagan Francis on the show today, a mom of 5 and one half of the wildly popular podcast The Mom Hour. We talk about her start in the mom blogosphere and our similar takes on the often dangerous “hot mess mom” culture.

Meagan throws down a lot of truth and doesn't hold back. Our conversation was honest and open about the realities of motherhood and how to get through them without being a martyr.

Ep 060: Mindset like a boss Monday- Stop the self-sabotage Sep 24, 2018

Today's mindset shift is all about eliminating the sabotaging behaviors we all fall into. Whether it’s perfectionism, that nagging pull to procrastinate or just a pervasive desire to completely go against what you know is best, self-sabotage completely interferes with our ability to achieve amazing goals.

Time to love ourselves fully and stop the sabotaging behavior.

Ep 059: Sticking to routines when your life is unpredictable Sep 20, 2018

Our lives aren't always as cookie-cutter as we had planned them to be. Life as a mom can be messy and unpredictable. Between work schedules, extracurriculars, sports, partners that travel and a myriad of other things that pop up each day, our day-to-day tasks can be unpredictable. So how do you stick to a solid routine when you don't live a routine life?

In this episode, I'm introducing the idea of a "floating routine" and how helpful it can be for keeping your life running smooth (ish) even if your daily life and schedule doesn't feel conductive to routines. The more out-of-control your life feels, the more routines will save you.

Ep 058: How to chill out when it comes to motherhood and making your home Sep 18, 2018

When I put a call out to my audience to see what topics you most wanted to hear about, this answer struck me in such a hilariously real way: "Can you do an episode on how to chill out as a mom?" Could that be filled with anymore truth about how motherhood feels sometimes?

You asked, I answered. This episode is a tribute to the chill and how to achieve it in motherhood and home management. There is no greater burden in our lives than feeling stressed and out of control. In this episode, I tackle how to let go of control and how to embrace the ever changing (and ever-chaotic) seasons of motherhood without freaking out.

Let's chill, girl.

Ep 057: Mindset like a boss Monday- Love yourself first Sep 17, 2018

Welcome to our very first episode of this new format. Are you ready to MINDSET like a boss?

I'm a sucker for a good hack, a great strategy, a solid plan, but what happens when your mindset is garbage and you just can't seem to get yourself to that motivational place to get all the things done? It's time to shift you're thinking.

Today's mindset shift is all about loving yourself first. You deserve to be loved, first and foremost by yourself.

Ep 056: Stay productive, not busy Sep 06, 2018

Busy is the new fine.

How many times do you answer "BUSY!" when someone asks how you are. Not, "Wonderful. Lovely. Super excited for this life. Peaceful. Calm. Wishing I had a taco right now." No, instead, it's "Really busy."

Mel Robbins said it best when she truthfully bombed us with, "Business is the ultimate form of laziness. Staying busy is our way of avoiding the things we really need to do."

I've committed my life to being full and productive, not busy. I want to fill my minutes with efficiency, not bleed them dry until my entire family is fall-down exhausted.

This episode will take you through the differences between business and productivity and how to become productive with the time you have. No more idle busy work for you, mama.

Ep 055: How I'm embracing a new season in my life (and an announcement on what's coming up!) Aug 30, 2018

I'm right at the edge of a brand new season in my life and for our family; a season unlike any I have had in the past. This season is one of change in the form of kids entering new schools and me having more time. Don't be fooled. More time isn't always a good thing. More time just means more time to waste if we're not intentional with it.

This episode is all about how I'm embracing this new season and how you can do the same, with whatever season life has for you now. Change can feel scary and overwhelming because of the unexpected, but we can embrace change and the adventures it brings.

And speaking of new seasons, I'm also sharing how the podcast is getting a facelift this fall and what you can expect from our new and improved weekly lineup. My mission is to serve you in every way I can, and this new format speaks directly to that mission.

Finally, I want to give shout you all out and use all the praise hand emojis here. The Mother Like a Boss Podcast has hit 200,000 downloads in it's first 7 month and YOU made that happen. You listened, you shared, you came back week after week. I'm grateful in ways I can't even express. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for trusting me each week. You the real MVPs, mamas!

Ep 054: How to tell if you're making excuses (so you can finally stop!) Aug 23, 2018

Excuses, excuses. We're all full of them, and after a while it can become difficult to tell the difference between our excuses and reality. Excuses are very different than explanations. Excuses keep us victims of our own circumstances.

For years, I made excuses for why I wasn't able to get things done the way other people could in various parts of my life. My excuses kept me stuck, but comfortable. This episode is a kick in the butt for anyone that wants to break free of the excuse-making cycle and take control of their own life.

Ep 053: M-Lab session with Micah Paschall Aug 16, 2018

We're doing things a little different this summer when it comes to interviews. Rather than bring on an expert in a particular field, I invited real moms with real struggles to come on the show to share with us what they are going through in motherhood and at home. Sometimes, just hearing another mom ask a question that you've always had is exactly the thing you need to motivate you toward change and improvement.

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Micah Paschall, a Mother Like a Boss student with a beautiful heart and story. It takes a brave woman to discuss her past and present feelings about homemaking open and honestly. We had a great chat about making habits and routines stick and I help her to create more non-negotiable chores for her children.

Join me for another raw and beautiful episode in the M-Lab sessions.

Ep 052: 7 ways to make this the most organized school year yet! Aug 09, 2018

I can't believe it's already time to do a back-to-school episode, but here we are. Time, it is a flyin' always. I know that most moms start the year off with the year off with the best of intentions. "This is the school year that I get our collective ish organized and staying that way!" and then by mid-October, you're in full-on chaos mode and not sure how you got there.

Today's episode is aimed to help you start, and keep a system that will make this the most organized school year yet. Start now and thank yourself in December when you've still got it all together, running smoothly.

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Julia Holen who is going to rock your world with how open, honest and vulnerable she is about her life. It takes courage to speak about her struggles with bipolar disorder and she does so with strength and openness. We had a wonderful chat on how she can plan her routines around her life, rather than the other way around and how to stick to household and motherhood routines even in the face of difficult circumstances.

Ep 046: A peek inside my daily journaling practice Jun 26, 2018

I've been a journaling gal since the time I could write. I loved having diaries. I loved having beautiful journals and #allthepens to write with. Writing has always been cathartic for me and a great way to achieve the goals I set for myself. Journaling brings me closer to who I want to be.

But listen, I know journaling can seem extremely overwhelming. What do you write? How long do you write? What kind of journal is best? Should I use prompts? What if I am drawing a blank here? Today, I'm pulling back the curtain of my daily journaling practice and giving you the scoop on how this simple habit has helped me become a better mom, a more successful business owner and a happier woman all around.

Ep 045: Setting boundaries like a mother Jun 21, 2018

I see you over there, mama. Guilt-ridden every time you say no and always want to please others. You wonder how you can feel better about what you say yes to and how you can live a life that feels more joy-filled and less resent-driven. The answer is boundaries.

I am what I like to call a "boundary ninja" but it hasn't always been that way. I spent many years of my life letting people in my business and personal life walk all over me for fear of stepping up and saying no. A boundary is the ultimate show of love, as you can say yes and be open wholeheartedly without resentment or anger.

This episode is all about helping you build your emotional fence high enough so that the only people coming in are the ones you have allowed.

Ep 042: How we create a summer bucket list Jun 12, 2018

I love summer. Aside from the humidity and obnoxious mosquitos, the summer is such a wonderful time to spend together as a family. But as we all know, we start the summer with the best of intentions to do #allthethings and end the summer with the realization that all we did was sit inside next to the AC waiting for school to start again.

A summer bucket list is an excellent way to prepare for the months ahead by deciding what you really want to be doing as a family. In this episode, I'm talking about how we do it in our home and how it's helped us create a summer schedule full of fun without the chaos and FOMO.

Ep 041: How to cultivate a productive (and fun!) summer while the kids are home Jun 07, 2018

Friends, I have a confession to make: While I usually have a lot of my stuff together, last summer was a real wake up call for me. As a mama who always worked outside of the home, my first summer as a full time work-at-home mom was challenging. Summer (and any season changes in nature and our life) forces us to switch up our routines, for better or worse.

Today's episode is a discussion about how to cultivate a productive summer at home with the kids, while also having fun! There is no need to fall down the rabbit hole of chaos and distress during the summer months. Learn from my mistakes and let's grow together, mama!

Homemakerish is one of my favorite words and the backbone of what Mother Like a Boss is all about. The "ish" is your permission to be imperfect, but always striving to be your best.

Ep 036: Giving 100% without being a perfectionist May 22, 2018

Perfectionism is a dirty little secret that a lot of us moms keep everyday. Whether it keeps you in a state of paralysis or shows up as procrastination, perfectionism steal our joy and stops us from making progress.

Effort however is far different than perfection. Effort feels good. The end result feels comforting, even if it's not the "perfect" outcome. You can give your all without the need to be perfect. Perfection comes from the outside. Idealism comes from the inside.

In this episode, I'm giving a little pep talk on how to give 100% everyday without having to feed into perfectionistic tendencies that will leave you feeling unsatisfied.

Ep 031: 5 ways I put myself first every day May 03, 2018

I've said it before and I will say it again, the most important person in your life is YOU. Did that make you feel all sorts of weird? We've been fed a line as moms that everyone else should come before us, when in reality, putting yourself first is the most compassionate thing you can do for others.

When I'm in a place of alignment with my own self, I show up as a more amazing mom, wife, friend, mentor, sister and human being.

We live in a time where there is (thankfully) a lot of talk about self-care. But what happens when you're in a mom that's not into pedicures and massages? How do you make sure you are taken care of?

Ep 029: How routines (and grace) helped me survive my postpartum season Apr 26, 2018

The postpartum season of life brings about a lot of joy, a lot of tears and many times, a lot of emotions we aren't prepared for. In my care, that emotion was anxiety. After waiting 6 years to have another baby, I was thrust back into baby mode and honestly, wasn't prepared. I spent many nights sobbing, wondering how I was ever going to get back on track. My new routines (and a whole lot of grace) saved me.

While routines will not be the fix for all moms in this difficult stage, especially those dealing with crippling depression, it gave me more peace than I had in a long time. The predictability of my routines gave me strength and handed me some of the control I felt like I lost when I gave birth to my precious boy.

"Ok. I know I need better routines. I'm ready for this. I'm gonna do it. I am mom, hear me roar. Uh...so...where do I start?"

Ep 027: What are priorities, really and why are they so valuable Apr 19, 2018

As mamas, we like to think we have our priorities in order. Obviously, our kids take top billing, but what about the other very important people in our lives, like ourselves?! Priorities can be tricky because we convince ourselves that they are set in stone when in reality, our priorities can change day to day, even minute to minute. What's more important than sticking to one set "most important thing" is realizing what is most important to you in the moment and staying the course with that. This episode dives into the feelings and emotions behind our priorities and how we can make better choices (and set better boundaries) to be certain that every step we take is with intention and purpose.

Ep 026: How I set homemakerish goals for my home and life Apr 17, 2018

I'm pretty intent on living my best homemakerish life and a big part of making that happen is setting clear and intentional goals for my home and life. Goals don't need to be grandiose. They don't need to feel like unattainable dreams. Goals are nothing more than the end result you want to achieve. They are the last stop on the GPS. Where are you headed and where do you want to end up? You can't plot your course if you don't know where you want to be.

This episode is all about how I set goals for my home, my business, my family and my life and the process I take to ensure that I actually achieve those goals (rather than procrastinating watching yet another episode of Breaking Bad for the 19th time...)

Ep 025: When grace becomes an excuse Apr 12, 2018

There may be nothing that moms in our world need more than a heaping spoonful of grace. We're bombarded with images of perfectionism wherever we turn and knowing when to give ourselves the grace not to give into that is a beautiful thing.

But what happens when the grace we give ourselves and others becomes a cycle of excuses? What happens when the seasons of life we've been struggling through aren't seasons anymore, but just out life? Are we truly giving ourselves grace, or are we swinging to the other side of the pendulum by making excuses to avoid our fear of failure in any area of our life?

It's that most wonderful time of the year for your house. It's time for spring cleaning. Time to break out the extra cleaning supplies, roll up your sleeves and get to work...or not.

I have a different approach to spring cleaning. It doesn't need to be done in the spring. In fact, it should get done multiple times a year to save you the arduous task of having to spend entire weekends scrubbing and wiping for hours on end.

In this two part episode, I'm going to break down how to go about your spring(ish) cleaning, whether you're getting down to it in early April or late October, or both.

Ep 021: How we live with minimal paper Mar 29, 2018

Truth be told, I really hate paperwork. I love to organize it, but I hate having it clutter up my home and my life. My husband and I have an unspoken rule in our house that we will keep the papers to a minimal, but that can be really difficult for people who hold on to the notion that papers are more important than they actually are.

Today's episode is all about my journey to minimize the amount of paperwork we bring into and keep in our home. If our family of 4 (2 of whom own businesses) can do it, you can too, mama!

Where there used to be intention, there seems now to be a discouraging cycle that you don't even remember becoming a part of. Today, I'm pleased to have my friend Kelsey Van Kirk on to have an open and honest discussion about what purposeful motherhood looks like and her feelings about being created for the life we live.

Ep 015: The power of momentum over motivation Mar 08, 2018

How often do you sit around waiting to be hit with a rush of motivation to do what you know you should do (but don't want to) only to realize that motivation just isn't coming? Motivation is a desire or willingness to do something, but what do you know about the 99% of tasks in your life you have no desire to do, but know you need to? That's where momentum comes in. This is a topic I preach quite a bit to my students, because waiting for motivation to do something you don't want to do is a procrastination technique.

Ep 013: Simple ways to uncomplicate your to-do lists Mar 01, 2018

We live abundantly full lives as moms, and sometimes our to-do lists read more like novels than easy-to-follow reminders.

This episode is full, but one that I know you can use to help implement less cluttered to-do lists into your life.

Ep 009: How I'm raising kids who help around the house Feb 15, 2018

I decided a long time ago (well, when I started having kids, really) that I wouldn’t be the only one in the house cleaning, doing laundry to tidying up. I wanted to create a community in our home, one where everyone does there part based on what they are capable of. This is exactly what we’ve done and with an 11 and 5 year old, I am able to step back and let them help.

Not only does creating cleaning routines and chores for your children take the load off of the parents, it’s a learning experience for them as well. I’m a big believer in creating responsible little humans who understand that their messes are their responsibility, and that when we all work together, things get done faster. It isn’t always easy, but I’m going to share some of my best tips for raising kids who help around the house (without you having to nag nag nag)

Ep 001: Is homemaking still important in 2018? Jan 23, 2018

Homemaking is something I talk a lot about in my business, but I didn't start out that way. I used to completely shy away from the word, thinking it was totally antiquated and not at all fitting to who I was or what I did. There are a lot of myths floating around about homemaking and it is my mission to bring those myths to light, squash them and show moms that even the most modern women can be homemakerish without shame. Today, I want to answer the question, is homemaking really still important in 2018?

In this episode we'll dive into:

What homemaking really is (and what it isn't)
How home management and homemaking work together to give you an organized house and warm home.
Why I used to feel so negatively about homemaking and what helped me changed that.
How one person's insensitive comment to me about moms gave me the confidence to teach even more homemaking tips and strategies.
Why homemaking and martyrdom don't have to be the same thing.
What we can do as modern women to embrace homemaking and home management (hint...it involves delegating the work to other people!)
Some common myths about modern homemaking and how we can finally let go of them.
