    Thriving In Motherhood Podcast | Productivity, Planning, Family Systems, Time Management, Survival Mode, Mental Health, Vision

    The GO TO Podcast For Moms With Kids At Home!

    Do you want to love motherhood but find yourself in survival mode or burned out more than you’d like to admit?
    Do you feel tugged between enjoying every moment with your kids because it “goes so fast” and feeling mom guilt because you don’t?
    Are you tired of wandering around the house or scrolling social media but don’t know where to find the time or energy to do something that you would enjoy?

    There’s a way to create a life that you are excited to wake up to each day so you enjoy your time with your family, have a smooth running home, and still move forward on your greatest goals.

    Hi! I’m Jessica Jackson, homeschooling mom of four, productivity and time management expert for moms, and project enthusiast.

    In this podcast, I will teach you how to:
    – Navigate survival seasons with a thriving mindset through practical tips
    – Create a vision for your life and get clear about what really matters to YOU
    – Effective planning, productivity, and time management strategies when you have kids at home – they’re different!
    – Build family systems that support the entire family – including mom
    – Establish habits and rhythms that nurture you
    – Become a Soaring Mother so you can live connected with God, use your gifts and talents to bless those in your circle of influence, adventure with your family, and enjoy meaningful relationships

    I began motherhood with hopes and dreams that I could navigate my days confidently with purpose, live intentionally, find joy and contentment in everyday life, and have God’s help and strength in this lifelong journey.

    Reality:

    I was in complete survival mode
    I felt guilty a lot of the time
    I had no clue what my days should look like
    I was snappy and irritable with my family
    Can you relate?

    The good news – I closed the gap between what I hoped was possible and my reality.

    And you can too.

    I can’t wait to help you live life with purpose and joy and see your growth in the everyday moments of motherhood.

    What Really Matters When It Comes to Parenting? [Episode 247] Jan 11, 2023
    Show notes

    One of the questions that has emerged for me as a mother with less physical energy than I'd like is, "What really matters when it comes to parenting?"

    For a long time, my tactic was don't engage if I can't be nice or I can't enforce (which has been the case off and on with challenging pregnancies or recovering from surgeries). But, as my kids get older, I realize that isn't an effective long-term plan.

    I came across The Collapse of Parenting which provided a lot of clarity as to where to focus my time, energy, and attention in parenting.

    One of my first big takeaways came in the very first chapter, "Our job as parents is to pass on culture to our children." If we let our kids learn the culture of their peers, it is one Irampant of disrespect. As a parent, my job is to decide what culture I want to pass on to my children and lead by example.

    Check out this week's episode for more of my favorite takeaways from the book and how it is shaping my day-to-day interactions with my kids.

    The Power of Baby Steps with Soaring Mothers Society Members [Episode 246] Jan 04, 2023
    Show notes

    This week's episode is a peek into one of the incredible groups in Soaring Mothers Society. They were the first women to go through the Made To Soar: Next 90-Days program in 2020, and we've been meeting every month for the last two years to do monthly planning and reviews together.

    The transformation and growth of these women is incredible, and it was a real treat to take a few minutes to celebrate their journeys and growth in household management, family relationships, strengthening community, completing projects, and growing businesses.

    The secret has been consistently taking baby steps and having people to celebrate with along the way.

    Here is the experience one of the members has had:

    "Before I got the Thriving in Motherhood Planner and joined the Next 90-Days Course, I lacked clarity. The first time I went through the Create Your Vision Challenge, my word for the year was clarity. We had no structure in our days, no routines, no systems in our house, and my wheels were spinning. I wasn't moving forward on anything.

    The Thriving in Motherhood Planner, Next 90-Days Course, and Soaring Mothers Society have taught me how to get the clarity I needed and take action to figure all those things out. Now on my good days, I feel like I'm thinking about what God wants me to do with my life instead of what I want to do with my life."

    -Makenzie Schmitt

    As we begin this new year, if you want support figuring out practical ways to organize your life and make progress on the things that matter to you, check out the Your Next 90-Days program here.

    We'd love to support you in creating a life you are excited to wake up to!

    2022 Year in Review [Episode 245] Dec 28, 2022
    Show notes

    It's amazing the impact looking back can have on how I feel about the year. In this week's Thriving in Motherhood podcast episode, I am reviewing my 2022 with you and giving some tips for how you can look at your year as well.

    Spoiler alert - I started this activity thinking things weren't that great and ended feeling like I was on top of the world and could do anything). As a close friend recently said, "You are very good at not seeing all that you are not doing."

    Looking back tells the story of your growth and allows you to see what is real. It gives you a chance to celebrate your learning, growth, family adventures, progress, milestones, and important memories.

    From this place, you can gather clues about what is important to you, what's missing in your life, and how you want to grow and change during the next year. This also brings you to a place of momentum, energy, and enthusiasm for your life. That is a place that is fun to think about possibilities of the next year from.

    Whatever season of motherhood you find yourself in, this essential practice of creating your vision for the year will bring purpose to your days and joy into your life. It allows you to pause and decide what matters to you and what type of life you want to live.

    If you're ready to start the new year off right, I invite you to join the 6-day Create Your Vision Challenge and create a life you are excited to wake up to each day.

    And, if your brain is even remotely like mine, and you struggle to see all the amazing things you're doing, check out this episode to jump-start your review process.

    Bored, Busy but not Fulfilled, or Bummed by not Making Progress - What to do About It [Episode 244] Dec 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Do you ever feel bored as a mom? Do you have full, busy days, but at the end of them, you don't feel fulfilled? Are you bummed because you don't feel like you're able to make progress on the things you want to do?

    I've been there, and in this week's podcast episode, we talk about what to do when you find yourself in this place.

    The very first step to getting out of this rut is getting more clarity about what matters to you by creating your vision for the year. Until you know who you want to be and what you want to do, it is going to be very challenging to change feeling bored, bummed, or busy.

    This isn't going to be a one-and-done thing, either. For me, it has become a yearly practice where I brain dump, reflect on the previous year and work through a process of uncovering where I need to focus my time and energy.

    2023 is just around the corner and if you're ready to have your best year ever, come join us for the Create Your Vision Challenge. This is designed specifically for mothers with children at home who want to soar!

    This challenge is even more fun when you invite some friends to join you. This not only provides accountability but year-long support and deeper friendships as you work to make your visions a reality together.

    I invite you to send this email or the podcast episode to a few friends and join us in creating a vision for your most purposeful year yet!

    The Big Picture Of What It Actually Takes to Have a Home That Supports You [Episode 243] Dec 14, 2022
    Show notes

    Does anyone else have moments where it feels overwhelming, no matter how much progress you've made with your home? I've been there the last few weeks, searching for a way through our upstairs bedrooms.

    I've read dozens of books over the years about decluttering, organizing, and maintaining your home, but the reality is when I walk into a messy bedroom, I'm not sure what to do next and back away slowly.

    Then I look through the Ikea website for organizational furniture, google how far away the closest Ikea is (it's 2 hours - every time!) and then realize it's time to make the next meal.

    Well, after a breakdown (yep, it happened) follows a breakthrough, and in this week's episode, I'm sharing my recently developed framework that is empowering me to face these much-used rooms head-on!

    This breakthrough led me to develop the four principles of creating a home that supports you:

    1. Simplify - remove what doesn't belong in the room or isn't being used. You can throw it away, donate it, put it in a "time will tell" bin (thanks, Dawn @minimalmom), or put it in a different room of the house to deal with later. The point is only to have what you use in that room left.
    2. Assign Spaces - everything in the room needs a home, but this probably won't happen overnight. This is a process of observing where things get left or piled up and creating homes right there or nearby that contains what might look like clutter.
    3. Systematize - Establish when, how, and who will reset each aspect of your space. There will be dozens of little systems running inside your home, but as you build them slowly, they will become automated habits. Slow to stick!!
    4. Personalize - if you are a natural decorator, obviously keep doing your thing when it works for you! But, for the rest of us, now is the time to make the space fit your style and reflect your values. You want there to be a payoff for walking to a clean space that feels inviting to you - not cold and sterile.

    Each phase has a different focus and tactic to help you raise the standard of cleanliness in your home. If you keep trying to do phases 1 and 2 in hopes of having a house that stays clean, you might experience fight or flight mode like me whenever anyone takes anything out of a closet.

    Moving through the phases takes time, and each room will probably be in a different phase - which is completely fine! The hope is that you will be able to identify where each space is at so you know what to do when you enter the room and also see the progress you are making more clearly.

    In the last year, my values around home and parenting have changed. As a result, my time and energy are shifting to things that I didn't put as much effort into in my 20s.

    I've realized that my home can play an integral role in actively living out these ideals and reflects our most important values.

    When I created the Simplify to Soar Club a few years ago, my hope was that it would support me in becoming a Soaring Mother. Now I have more clarity about the work my home actually needs to do for us.

    Listen to this week's podcast episode for more tips and ideas for creating a home that supports you.

    What to Do When You Feel Like You Aren't Making Progress [Episode 242] Dec 07, 2022
    Show notes

    Typically at the end of the year, when there is so much going on, I start to feel like I'm not seeing a lot of progress on my projects and goals.

    This leads me to feel discouraged and want to give up - which is not an option when managing a household.

    One thing I like to do when I notice this feeling creeping is to create a "Finish List" to create some momentum.

    Dave Ramsey has a principle he calls the "debt snowball." The idea is that if you have multiple lines of debt, you pay off the smallest amount of debt first to see some quick wins and stay committed to making progress.

    This same principle can work with our projects!

    Sit down and write a list of all the unfinished projects currently taking up brain space. Now evaluate that list and see if there are things you could knock out today or in a few hours.

    Start to build momentum by seeing progress and watch how much you can accomplish in your small pockets of time before the end of the year (or not, if that stresses you out instead of motivating you).

    The key ingredients to a long-term commitment to our goals are:

    • Clarity about what matters
    • Consistent action
    • Recognizing your progress along the way.

    When you do all three, you build energy and momentum. It becomes exciting as your time and energy are aligned with your heart-decided priorities.

    The Thriving in Motherhood Planner takes these research-based principles and includes all of these elements to keep you moving forward in small pockets of time on the things that matter most to you and celebrates your progress along the way.

    You can get yours today here!

    For more tips like this, listen to this week's episode as I share what I do to turn things around, end the year with a clean slate, and get ready to create in 2023.

    Building My Second Brain [Episode 241] Nov 30, 2022
    Show notes

    I read Tiago Fortne's, Building Your Second Brain and immediately saw how the time I was wasting online was because it was too hard to do the things I really wanted to do on my phone or computer.

    In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of how I organize my digital life as a mom so that I am not wasting time on social media and getting way more done by being effective when I'm on my computer.

    I love my physical planner and journals to keep my day-to-day life organized and my brain working and emptied. However, a lot happens digitally that, for me, was a complete mess.

    With my second brain system, I now have a place for everything - a place for things I want to read, a place for things I want to reference, a place for things I need to do on the computer, and easy systems to get everything where it needs to go.

    I have great systems for knowing what I want to do and getting those things done (hint, hint, The Thriving In Motherhood Planner), but I needed a way to organize knowledge.

    That was one of the huge epiphanies that hit me while reading Building Your Second Brain. A knowledge management system is different than a productivity system!

    Things that I want to think about, read about, learn about, or want to reference in the future now have a place. Since setting up this system, I've wasted less time and become more productive when I sit at the computer or get on my phone.

    Check out this week's episode for a deep dive into:

    • What I use
    • When I use it
    • How I manage incoming email (I have maintained an inbox-zero email for the first time in my life for the past few months!)
    • Take notes on the books I'm reading
    • Take action on online courses
    • Keep what I'm learning organized
    • Jumpstart my projects and keep all the pieces organized

    I hope this will help you organize your digital life to increase your productivity and make your life easier!

    My 12 Favorite Books I Read In 2022 [Episode 240] Nov 23, 2022
    Show notes

    I read so many great books this year that I can't wait to share with you! And since the year isn't over, I'm not done reading yet and have even more favorites to add (How Not To Die and The Collapse of Parenting are a couple of recent favorites.)

    I love to keep track of the books I read to prove to myself that I'm learning. There are loads of ways to track your books, but I like to keep it low-tech in the Thriving in Motherhood Planner monthly review page.

    Keeping track helps me get a better picture of where my time and energy went as a whole, and it is part of my game plan for combatting the lie that "all I do is…"

    Plus, what you focus on grows - and I want reading to be a foundational part of who I am because it makes life richer, deeper, and much more interesting.

    So, without further ado, here are my 12 favorite books I read this year:

    Forty Autumns

    Building Your Second Brain

    What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid

    Mothering By The Book

    How The Word Is Passed

    Think Again

    The Self-Driven Child

    The Sleep Fix

    Hunt, Gather, Parent

    Heaven Is For Real

    The Battle Plan For Prayer

    Awaking Wonder

    I hope you find some new favorites from this list! Tune in to hear in this week's episode.

    Lessons and Questions from Mothering with Chronic Pain [Episode 239] Nov 16, 2022
    Show notes

    We all have hard things in our life that we get to keep learning from again and again. Mine is physical pain and health challenges.

    In this week's episode, I'm sharing some practical tips for parenting while in physical pain (which can be applied to mental and emotional health challenges, too), as well as some principles and lessons I've been learning over the last few months.

    For me, one of the biggest things this challenge has taught me is to rely more fully on God. I've chosen to look at the pain as an opportunity to grow closer to Him.

    Whenever the fear starts to creep in because of pain or the unknown underlying causes, I try to remember who does know. God is all-knowing, and He is the only one with all of the answers. I try to remain focused on the fact that I can trust Him to walk with me through all the ups and downs.

    I've also discovered some helpful practices that make mothering easier when I have painful days:

    • Play music to match the mood you want in your home.
    • Instead of focusing on what is not going well, practice gratitude.
    • Remember, in this moment, you are okay. Notice what doesn't hurt right now.
    • Instead of worrying about how you will survive this moment, look back and see all that you've endured and overcome.
    • State your limitations calmly and thank children for their help.
    • Ask, "What would I do to take care of myself if I didn't have kids?" and then do that thing.
    • End the day with the Thriving in Motherhood Journal to help keep your brain in helpful thought patterns.

    While none of these practices or mindsets eliminate my physical discomfort, they do help me live my life with purpose and joy. They help me create the life I want my family to experience while setting an example for my children about dealing with challenges.

    For more real-life examples and discussion about this topic, tune into this week's podcast episode.
