    Episode 164 Summertime Organization Jul 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Melissa Stecher is the owner and creator of Hopeful Simplicity. In 2017 she reached her snapping point. As a mom, full-time employee, co-parent, blending families, some personal health issues, and still being asked all those 'at-home' questions like 'what's for dinner?' she broke. She was angry and tired all the time and knew that wasn't the person she wanted to be. This is when her family started swapping. They swapped bad habits for better ones.

    Melissa started making her bed each morning just to feel like she was accomplishing something each day. They swapped harsh chemical products for natural options and the whole Home Team started cleaning. They even swapped unsuccessful organizing systems for compromised successes. In 2018 Melissa took a leap of faith in herself and got certified as a professional organizer. Now, not only do they get to save time, they save money and live less stressed lives while helping others find hope in their chaos and clutter.

    Listen to this helpful Whinypaluza episode with Melissa Stecher for tips and tricks for staying organized in the summer when the kids are home from school.

    • Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
    • What you can do to get your kids to contribute to keeping the home tidy.
    • Ask “why” when something isn’t being done, and come up with a solution that works for each person.
    • What do we do with all the things that come home from school? What to keep? What to toss? Realistically, we can’t keep every single piece of art they make.
    • Designate a single location for archived items: one per category (art, grades, etch) one per kid, then organize them by date/grade.
    • Organization should be done seasonally. Winter things don’t need to be out during summer, and vice-versa. Individual bins that can be swapped from storage into your home when the season changes.
    • Organizing entertainment! Set goals for different activities: outside time, reading time, family time, etc. Build activities into the daily routine.
    • For younger kids, consider a system to spark activities. Write activities down and put them in a container so they can randomly pick something to do.
    • For family activities, consider finding things that will spark a conversation with your kids, even if it isn’t something YOU are interested in.
    • Mothers often contribute to their own stress by putting all the “to dos” on their own shoulders. Try shifting from “I have to, I need to” to “we have to, we need to.” Are certain things really “your job?”
    • Learning to cede control to others is a game changer. Things don’t have to be done your way all the time. Things are being done for the family, and each person has a different way to do things.
    • Visual reminders can be the best support system or Home Teams: Calendars, Schedule Page, White Board- whatever works for you.
    • What other organizational leaders inspire Melissa?
    • Organization can create a sense of control over your world and home.
    • What can we do to prepare for back to school?
    • Start with school supply checklists, clean out old schedules and plug in new ones.
    • Back to school is a good time to update your “habit page,” or assigned tasks for each member of the household.

    Episode 163 Your Brain Lies To You Jul 13, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

    This week: Your Brain Lies To You

    • Have you ever stopped to think about all the things you say to yourself throughout the day?
    • We are oftentimes very critical of ourselves, without really realizing it. What can we do to change the conversation?
    • Do you have ANTs?! Automatic Negative Thoughts and why they are important to get out of your brain?
    • Neural pathways are created when we have the same thoughts over and over. Bad thoughts will repeat themselves. The good news is that good thoughts can repeat themselves, too.
    • Some of the most common negative thoughts in adults. They are often the same in our children.
    • Becoming aware of these thoughts is the first step to overcoming them.
    • The four main categories of cognitive distortions: personalizing, filtering, catastrophizing, and polarizing. What do they all mean, and what impact do they have?
    • How do we avoid these distortions? Combatting negative thinking starts with awareness. Question yourself when you say negative things. Is what you are saying accurate? Do you have facts to support them? What you say if you were talking to a friend? What would a friend or your spouse say to you?
    • Sometimes the things you are most critical of are the traits others love about you.

    Episode 162 Summer Sanity Tips For Parents Jul 08, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

    This week: Summer Sanity Tips For Parents

    • Do what works for YOUR family; don’t compare yourself to others.
    • Adjust your expectations, and verbalize them to your family.
    • Balance scheduled activities with scheduled downtime.
    • Don’t fall into the trap of thinking everyone else’s lives are perfect based on what they share on social media, and yours is lacking. What people put out on social media is not the full reality of their lives.
    • If you find yourself feeling jealous of someone, focus on finding out how you can make it happen for yourself.
    • Continue with your “me time.” Your mental and physical health still need this.
    • Summer goes fast! Make those plans.
    • Ask your family what is on their wish list for summer fun and make plans.
    • Get out of the house! Being cooped up inside can add to your stress. Getting out of the house is a good way to reset.
    • Everyone needs space. Make sure everyone has down time, by themselves.
    • Make sure you and your kids maintain their connections with others. Socialization is important, even if you have to push yourself to do it.
    • You can do this! You are doing a good job. Keep reminding yourself!

    Episode 161 Improving Your Body Image Jul 01, 2022
    Show notes

    For over two decades, Wendie Pett has been motivating people to make fitness and good nutrition part of their daily routine. She teaches the balance of mind, body and spirit through her Visibly Fit™ wellness program. Wendie has a nationally syndicated television program that airs each week on the NRB Network, LIFTABLEtv, WLCN, and IBN Television. It has aired for over 9 years. Her television show also appears weekly on the Life Network For Women app.

    Wendie is a full-time business owner, a naturopathic doctor, wife, mother, author, speaker, TV host, advisory board member for Christian Women in Media and part-time volunteer. Her business consists of whole-food/plant-based wellness coaching, emotional healing, personal online training, fitness planning, educational and motivational speaking, and creating new products/tools to assist clients along their wellness journey.

    After a major injury to her shoulder, she resorted to body weight resistance exercises for strength and healing and hasn’t turned back to any other form of training since. She has helped countless others reach their fitness goals without ever compromising their joints, tendons, or ligaments - teaching that Your Body Is Your Gym™ and instilling new diet habits that have shown to reverse multiple diseases and allow people to get off medications.


    Listen to this inspiring Whinypaluza episode with Wendie Pett about creating better mindset and habits to level up to your best life.

    Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

    • Visualized Resistance- using mind/muscle connection to envision varying weights, working your muscles without being prone to injuries that can occur with heavy weights.
    • Wendie’s mission to guide women into the right mindset so they can take better care of themselves, allowing them to show up for their friends, family, and community in a more meaningful way.
    • Next Level Living- are you living your best life now, and if not, how can you?
    • R.E.A.C.H.: Release, Exercise, Affirm, Choose, and Heart.
    • Release- letting go of unhealthy emotions attached to certain habit.
    • Exercise- move more to feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally.
    • Affirm- changing your self-talk vocabulary to affirming and positive thinking.
    • Choose- the choices you make every day either take you closer to or further away from your goals.
    • Heart- where are you coming from in all that you say and do? Do you start in a place of forgiveness? Forgive yourself and others for falling short of perfection.
    • What you can do to create a shift to override old habits you wish to release.
    • Focusing on why you deserve to level up in your life and change your habits.
    • Mind/Body/Spirit- they are all intertwined. Mindset is key, the body follows, and spirituality is the foundation of it all.
    • Feeling WORTHY of all that we aspire to and receive.
    • How to make consistent healthy choices- Plan and build in accountability.
    • Moderation kills momentum- some people cannot handle things in moderation. Know yourself, and how you are going to react to indulging.
    • Toxic Hunger State- oftentimes our body craves things that indicate nutritional deficiencies, what your brain thinks it wants isn’t always what your body is asking for.

    Episode 160 Lessons Learned From This School Year Jun 29, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

    This week: Lessons Learned From This School Year

    • Recognizing the new level of independence in our kids. Letting out kids prove themselves to be capable and independent is a milestone for us all.
    • Don’t question your motherly instincts. Trust your gut and that you know what is best for you and for your kids.
    • High School is better than middle school! If you have a kid struggling to get though middle school, keep this in mind.
    • Friendships, activities, and connections are essential for our kids’ mental health. Push them to be involved and you will see they are happier and better off. Busy kids stay out of trouble.
    • Remember to be your own best friend! Treat yourself the way you would your best friend.
    • Mental Health Days? Yes! We all need them; don’t be afraid to use them.
    • Don’t be afraid to fight for your kids and what they need in school. Don’t push it off to someone on the PTA. Use your voice as a parent.
    • Our kids get so much more out of their education when they have teachers who make the effort to connect with them.
    • When kids are allowed to rise to the occasion and deal with an issue, it will build strength and character.
    • Volunteer options dwindle the older your kids get. If volunteering is important to you, do it when you can. The older your kids get, the more difficult it is for schools to get volunteers.
    • To balance the hectic schedule of school, kids need downtime and mindfulness and calm.

    Episode 158 I’m Holding On Jun 22, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week! As the end of the school year comes to a crescendo, we are all feeling overwhelmed, but the energy in our kiddos is palpable. Hang in there, moms, we are almost through it!

    This week: I’m Holding On

    • We are all insanely busy with the end of the year activities, be sure to offer up your thanks and show appreciation to all those around you who support you and your kids in all that is going on.
    • The more you are involved in your kids’ schools, and the more kids you have, the more attached you feel. When your kids age out of elementary, it can be an emotional end.
    • With all the chaos, hold on to your sanity! But remember to hold on to your memories. They will be precious to you.
    • Be sure to take your hectic schedule hour by hour. What can you do now? When can you fit in a moment for yourself? Don’t forget to pace yourself and stop for a moment to slow yourself down.
    • If you have the flexibility in work to do so, be involved and attend these events. They are a unique time for you and your kids, that you and your kids will always remember.
    • Take care of yourself! Sunscreen! Hydrate! Eat! Sleep! Breathe.
    • Keep in mind that despite the chaos, it is good chaos, because our kids have not had these events in a few years.
    • Use your support network! Whether it is to help with events, or cover dinner and rides. Ask for help.

    Episode 156 Crushing A Crazy Saturday Jun 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

    This week: Crushing A Crazy Saturday

    • For many parents, July can be crazy! Take it hour by hour, day by day, and try to remain calm.
    • Recognizing when you are in an anxious state when things are hectic. Visual and mental exercises can help you calm.
    • When the anxiety hits, STOP and employ the RE process: rewind, reset, refocus, replace, reframe, reflect, and rejoice. Practice it and it will become automatic.
    • Instead of getting into the rushed and angry mode, talk to yourself and go over why the things you are doing are good things. Smile and enjoy the journey.
    • Your anxious state initiates other states of being in those around you, that are not ideal.
    • We can’t do everything ourselves. We need a village. DELEGATE!
    • Rephrasing the way you talk about your day and what you HAVE to do to what you GET to do, will change the way you feel about things.
    • With your partner, try to be observant and recognize patterns of emotion in each other, and discuss how you can improve things together.
    • Be confident in your ability to get it done. You will find you are much calmer getting through hectic times. Practice makes perfect. Repeat what worked, stop what didn’t.

    Episode 155 Better Communication In Your Marriage Jun 10, 2022
    Show notes

    Listen to this special Whinypaluza episode with Rebecca and Seth Greene as they discuss the importance of good communication in your marriage and lessons they have learned along the way.

    Episode 155 Better Communication In Your Marriage with Rebecca and Seth

    • Problems with “The List of Wants” and how sometimes monumental lists of wants can make your partner feel overwhelmed or as though they are falling short as a provider.
    • The impact of negative comments is 3x that of positive comments. Be sure to express gratitude for what you have and take baby steps when bringing up your want list.
    • Coming to the understanding that expressing wants does not equate to feeling as though you are unhappy with what you have. Finding the middle ground to communicate this is tricky, but important.
    • The Housewives Effect- does your husband feel like you are developing unrealistic expectations when watching shows about extravagant living? Is it entertainment or aspirational?
    • Does your partner have literal thinking? Do you understand the difference when your partner expresses a want as an example or as a specific request?
    • The importance of having goals, and being clear about your realistic expectations about achieving them. Discuss your work goals, your personal goals, your couple goals, and your family goals.
    • Learning your partner’s “language” is key to better communication. How do they process information? How do they respond to different ways of presenting information? Do they do better with a plan and timeline? Do they do better with vision boards? What kind of communicator is your spouse?
    • Learning about and growing with your spouse is a journey that never ends. Be sincere and be proactive and you will find the rewards worth it!
