Asking yourself, “What am I saying yes to and what am I busy with at work?”

Setting boundaries for what you can and cannot do
How does people-pleasing get in your way when it comes to an invisible workload
The belief that a request deserves an immediate response instead of giving yourself time to think

[PART 4] The Enemies of Productivity Apr 11, 2022

Do you want to be more productive, have more flexible time, and hit big goals? I think most of us want this. We want to be smart with our time. We want to banish terrible time wasters. We want to feel like we are making strides forward.

You might have heard me say this before but it bears repeating.

“Productivity is not a recipe for busy, it is a recipe for freedom.”

The point is not to simply do more. The point is to do the right things better, smarter, and faster so you can have the freedom to do as you please. To take time for you. To reach a big goal. To relax. To enjoy. To thrive.

To be more productive, to get more done in less time so you have the freedom we all crave, there are some clear strategies you can put in place. And there are also some mistakes that I bet you are making that are getting in your way.

[PART 3] The Enemies of Productivity Apr 10, 2022

When you fill your time with the things that deserve to be there, you can have it all. Do you fill your time with the things that deserve to be there? And how do you know?

Most of us live our days as if they are happening to us. We follow a schedule that feels out of our control. We make to-do lists that never get done. We have so much on our plates that we are often spinning instead of taking action. Do you know that feeling? I know I do.

How can we stop this hamster wheel and actually put things on our calendars that deserve to be there?

The Importance of Mentorship with Deborah Heiser Mar 17, 2022

Think of a time in your life when someone with more knowledge and experience was leading you on a path to become something more. If you can think of a time like that, you know the importance of mentorship. Mentorship can be seen in families, in careers, in parenting, in sports, in education, really anywhere someone with a greater breadth of knowledge is passing this along.

And mentorship doesn’t only benefit the mentee, but the mentor as well. These benefits led today’s guest to create The Mentor Project, a non-profit organization that helps mentors connect with mentees to pass the torch of knowledge, innovation, culture, values, and inspiration to future generations.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Deborah Heiser, Applied Developmental Psychologist, a TEDx speaker, Adjunct Professor in the Psychology Department at SUNY Old Westbury, and Founder of The Mentor Project.

She has been quoted in The New York Times, Seattle Times, Dallas Times and contributes to Thrive Global. Her research covers a wide range of topics related to aging, including depression identification, dementia, and frailty with grants awarded from NIA/NIH and Pfizer. She received an international award for her research on depression identification, as well as serving for 9 years on the Board of the State Society on Aging of New York and was President in 2008. Later In 2016, she served as President of Queens Psychological Association in New York.

Talking to Your Kids About Sex and Their Body with Mandi Nuttall Feb 10, 2022

Does talking to your kids about sex and their body make you want to throw up a little bit? You are not alone, friend! Our guest today is here to make it manageable–and dare I say even easy–to have these conversations with your children. And, yes, I said conversations. This is not a topic to discuss once, but instead an ongoing build of a conversation. You are going to listen to our guest today and think, “Well, obviously I should teach it like this!”

Mandi Nuttall is the author of the Birthday Suit Books Collection. As a former high school health teacher and D1 collegiate volleyball player, she has now adopted the self-proclaimed titles of taxi driver, nutritionist, doctor, therapist, personal trainer, cancer fighter, interior designer, janitor, photographer and chef, all since marrying her soulmate and becoming a mother of 5 children including twins. Life certainly isn’t boring for Mandi!

Mandi believes in the limitless potential within families to do good and raise knowledgeable children. She witnessed the lack of knowledge in her high school students when teaching about the body and self in her health class, and knows how hard it is for parents to feel confident in teaching this subject. She wrote this book to make the process simple, and empower parents to then encourage their children to respect and love their body.

We have one shot to teach our kids to honor their bodies, and we can't leave that up to the world—it's our job and responsibility.

3-Steps to Should-Free Parenting with Dr. Alison Escalante Jan 27, 2022

Dr. Alison Escalante joins us on today’s episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show to talk to us about the “shouldstorm” that is plaguing today’s parents. Perfection and criticism resulting in increased anxiety in kids and adults cause parents, and especially moms, to feel like they “should” be doing things differently. Dr. Escalante shares with us the reality of parenting in 2022 and 3-steps you can use to arrive at calmer, less anxious parenting.

Dr. Escalante is on a mission to eradicate the epidemic of anxiety that impacts us as professionals and parents. Professionals operate on the edge of burnout, and parents (caught in a culture of criticism and perfectionism) are increasingly raising the most anxious generation of kids ever seen. Dr. Escalante developed a method rooted in neuroscience so we can take affection action under the pressure. She even presented her Sigh, See, and Start method at TEDx.

A Board Certified Pediatrician, and an Adjunct in Pediatrics at Rush University, Dr. Escalante publishes widely for a national audience. She writes on the science of human performance as a Forbes Contributor, and on the culture of anxiety as a Contributor for Psychology Today. Having studied Cultural and Ideological History at Princeton, Dr. Escalante has unique insight into the way both organizational and social cultures impact our performance.
