As moms, specifically SAHM moms, are we doing full hair & makeup every single day? No, not necessarily. But we can get in better rhythms and habits and make ourselves our priority. Because if we are making ourselves a priority and making ourselves up a little bit, we will feel better about ourselves. It may seem a bit silly talking about hair and makeup for yourself. But it makes a huge difference throughout the decisions in the rest of your day when you start your day off feeling good about yourself.

Ep 012: Cultivating Friendship in Your Marriage feat. Brian Casazza Feb 07, 2018

Show notes

Allie is joined by her husband, Brian to discuss Cultivating Friendship in Your Marriage. Any couple can cultivate a friendship with a little work. Marriage is already work, so why not focus on working to be friends with your spouse. How do friends act? What do they do for each other? How are they with each other? They go out for coffee. They talk about their day with one another. They intentionally spend time together in order to learn more about each other. If you are like this with a friend, why should you marriage be any different? That is your best friend!

Allie + Brian get it. Life happens. Things happen. When you have friendship in your marriage, it is such a great "fall back" to know you have your best friend by your side for the worst situations, scariest nights, and stressful days.

Ep 011: Taking Care of Yourself Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

Taking Care of Yourself is talked about a lot in our culture today, but I don't think we are truly taking action on it. I think it is hard for us to do that. We are taking care of so many other people all the time that we forget that we matter. Our tanks get low, close to empty. We get snarky, cranky, fussy. It's because your well is empty. You can not pull up fresh, hydrating water that your family needs from you if that well is bone dry. You have to take care of yourself and restore yourself.

Instead of always working on yourself in a way that has you focusing on your flaws and mistakes and what you need to change or be better at, shift your focus to what you are good at. In focusing on that, you will discover who you are and what restores your energy. Once you know those things, you can compile a list of ways that you can begin taking care of yourself.

Need help forming that list? I got you! You can download my Self-Care Ideas for Busy Moms for FREE!

Ep 010: How to Be An Action-Taking, Problem-Solving Mom Jan 31, 2018

Show notes

Being an Action Taking Problem Solving mom is about identifying the problems and taking action on them. It is writing out the issues and finding solutions for them.

Louise Hay says, "I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking, then my problems fix themselves."

When something is a problem in my life and I notice it is consistently a problem, I won't just leave it. I won't just wish that it would change or put it in the back of my head to figure it out later. I will take action on it. Write it out and problem-solve.

You have so much power as a mom. You can choose to change your thinking. Fix your thinking. Change your mindset. Get into a place of positivity. Of being an action-taking, problem-solving mom and a lot of things are going to shift.

EP 009: How We Keep Intimacy Alive & Well with 1,000 Kids (feat. Brian Casazza) Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Brian joins Allie to talk about how they remain so close and keep intimacy alive, even with one thousand children.

With February, the month of love, right around the corner, the topic will largely circle around love, intimacy and marriage. However, this particular episode comes from the many questions Allie receives from her followers.

People often ask how Allie and Brian remain to be so close and connected.

The biggest thing to remember is that in order to feel close and connected to your significant other, you have to stop putting your intimacy on the back burner, putting it off until after you care for your kids. You need to keep the fire burning all day long, so that when night arrives, you're happy to spend time together.

(We'll be discussing grown-up things in this episode, so be sure to pop your headphones in to listen.)

Ep 008: Living A F.A.S.T. Life with Jenn Baxter Jan 24, 2018

Show notes

On today's episode of The Purpose Show, we have Jenn Baxter, the founder of Live a F.A.S.T. Life, and author of a new book called Live a F.A.S.T. Life.

Jenn's mission to live a F.a.s.t. (F.a.s.t. = Fabulous, Abundant, Simple, and Tiny) life began after her mom past away back in 2013. Her mom was a worrier by trade, and spent the better part of her 73 years holding back in life because of fear. Jenn knew that she didn't want to end up the same way, and that she wanted to live her life with a little extra oomph!

Jenn set out to live a life that was fabulous and abundant. She wanted to get back to the basics of what really mattered, friends, family, helping others and experiencing life while you can.

She emptied her home of all toxic products that were slowly making her sick, cleaned up her diet, downsized her belongings and moved into a purple tiny house on wheels called "Sweet Caroline."

Now, life is less about getting more and all about DOING more.

Join Allie and Jenn as they dig into the muck and the mire, so that you can live a lighter, simpler and fuller life.

Ep 007: Creating Your Family Mission Statement Jan 22, 2018

Show notes

Creating a family mission statement is a really great way to lay the foundation for what your purpose is as a family. It outlines the things you stand for and things you don't.

A family mission statement is exactly what it sounds like, an intentional statement that you make together with your family. It encapsulates your priorities and your goals as a family.

When parenting gets tricky, and your kids start getting older, it's a really great way to have something to go back to and compare things with. Your family is going to be raised, and your kids are going to grow and become adults, setting a solid foundation with a family mission statement, can help keep you all focused on your family goals.

EP 006: How My Blog Got My Husband Out of His 9 to 5 Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

Today's topic is something that I've been asked a lot about, but it's something that I've always struggled to share.

I am opening the door for the first time on a very vulnerable, difficult and now, exciting part of me and Brian's story. It's something that I needed to get to a certain place in my life and heart, before I was really ready to open up and share.

I've been feeling, for a few months, that the time is coming.

I'd even planned on writing a big blog post last year, but I kept putting it off. I kept procrastinating. Subconsciously, I just wasn't ready to share.

However, after I ended up starting my own podcast, I felt like it was time to talk about it. It's much easier for me to share this with my voice rather than trying to find the right words in writing...

This is the story of the start of my business. How a little hobby blog, that I kept in the quiet, late night hours, while waiting for my husband to get home from a job that he hated, and how it was so difficult for us because we were barely getting by.

This is how this little blog turned into a global empire and saved our family and got my husband out of his 9 to 5.

EP 005: I Don't Have A Capsule Wardrobe, and Here's Why Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

I get asked about capsule wardrobes A LOT.

People watch my Instagram Stories or see photos of me on the blog and say things like, "I see you wearing lots of different things. It seems like you have a lot of clothes. How do you deal with that?" So, I just wanted to address it directly!

I am a person who loves getting dressed. I love clothes, my wardrobe and having options. Being creative in this way adds to my joy! For me, that is a part of an abundant life. Choosing my clothes each morning brings more joy into my daily life.

Let this episode be a message of freedom for you. Let this be permission to make minimalism work for you and bring you joy. Let this give you permission to let go of the junk that is just not serving you, that is holding you back, and taking up your time.

Let this be permission to have what brings you incredible joy and makes you love your life and your house more. I hope this makes sense and that this clears up some of your questions!
