    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.

    Establishing and Living Our Family Values [Episode 117] Jul 15, 2020
    Show notes

    Today I'm talking about our family values. How I came up with them and how we implement them in our household. These help my family catch the vision and the values that help us get to where we want to go.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Core values are unifying and keep our families together heading in the same direction.
    • Turn your values into a family cheer!
    • We try to "catch" the kids living these values and talk about it at dinner together. What we look for, we see more often in our lives!
    • Creating this unity and culture will give them a gift as they leave the home that they will know that they have a place they were part of something and belong no matter what.
    • Craft the values together as a family, or decide ahead of time and present them to your kids.
    Making Yourself the Top Priority with Jessica Ralston [Episode 116] Jul 08, 2020
    Show notes

    Today I'm talking with Jessica Ralston. She's a mother of six, homeschools, and she and her husband both run businesses out of their home. Today she shares her journey of going from a place of chaos and just surviving to taking some intentional steps to regain her personal power and take care of herself and, in turn, create a beautiful life for her family.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • The decision of being more intentional with physical health, can lead to being more intentional with other things. It builds momentum.
    • Being in a victim or comparison mindset makes things feel worse.
    • Be selfish. Take care of yourself. Everyone is going to be okay if you take a few minutes to take care of yourself.
    • Shift your mindset to abundance, and gratitude, and being proactive.
    • Our kids need to know that we are human people with needs and passions.
    • We are our only advocates for our own needs. We need to take that responsibility seriously for ourselves.
    • We don't have control over our kids, but we do have control over our own actions.
    • Looking at the big picture can help put the small challenges and imperfections in perspective.
    • When you're able to tackle your daily life with more joy and competence, then you're able to think more into the future about the bigger things that you can achieve too.
    • Shift from an Parents vs Children mindset, into a Team mindset within the family. It allows everyone to work together and play together better.
    • Try to decipher the big things from the little things.
    • Learn your children's love languages because when the kids feel loved, they are more willing to listen and have hard conversations.
    • Consider staggering bedtime to allow some individual time with each age group of your children.
    The Three Pillars of Thriving [Episode 115] Jul 01, 2020
    Show notes

    Today, I'm sharing with you something I've been working on for years, which is the Three Pillars of Thriving and the Three Identities associated with them. This episode explains how you can actually thrive in any season of motherhood.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • The struggle between knowing that we are made for motherhood and feeling like it is REALLY hard is where these pillars grew out of.
    • How we're think about life and ourselves is what influences our reality.
    • Take time to notice where you are on these three pillars.
    • The pillars take you from surviving to thriving.
    • Pillar 1 - Scope is having a purpose, or intention, for your life.
    • In the scriptures, we see examples of women with callings and purpose that have nothing to do with raising children. God has something else for them to do. God sees us as whole people.
    • When you have Scope, it helps you go from feeling lost or stuck in the mundane to feeling confident and fulfilled and living with meaning and purpose.
    • There are skills and systems involved in Scope to take you from one end of the spectrum to the other.
    • Pillar 2 - Structure gives you a pattern or organization for reducing the mental and physical chaos in your life.
    • This involves creating a strong family and recognizing that you are part of that family. Structure allows you to have the head space to think beyond the bare-bones essentials.
    • Pillar 3 - Soul is looking at your total self. Your spirit, body, mind, and connection with God.
    • This is where you can start to feel peace and joy and gratitude. This is where you are taken care of, where you have energy. Where we're filling our buckets so we can overflow into other people. This is where we are breaking down limiting beliefs.
    • When any one of these three is being neglected, then things don't feel right.
    • The model of Be, Do, Have teaches us that we need to focus on being one way before we do to then have the desired result.
    • Identity 1 - Visionary - Someone who does thinking and planning about the future with imagination, creativity, and wisdom. Able to have dreams or visions (literally or metaphorically). Someone who seeks personal revelation from God.
    • Identity 2 - Leader - Someone who has the art of motivating and connecting and empathizing with people to help them act towards achieving a common goal. Working towards putting people first while making your vision a reality.
    • Identity 3 - Advocate - Someone who calls to one's aide. One who pleads the cause of another. In this case, you need to be your own advocate to ask for and make the space for the things you need. Advocate to yourself, for yourself to become aware of your thoughts and how you're interacting in the world.
    Living Authentically as a Mother with Annette Pimentel [Episode 114] Jun 24, 2020
    Show notes

    Today, I'm talking with Annette Pimentel. She's a mother of six children and an author of children's non-fiction literature. Today we're talking about how she learned to embrace who she is to be an authentic mother and to use her strengths and talents to create a culture in her home that allows her to fully be her as well as to use her strengths to solve problems.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Knowing the story of why you made a decision during a hard time helps form who you are.
    • Being a mom doesn't mean you can't be authentic to yourself. Sometimes the best solutions we come up with are the ones that come from our core of passions and talents.
    • The things we care about can be the center of your mothering. Those things can become your toolkit for being a mother.
    • It takes creativity to truly be who we are and still solve those parenting problems, but they are the most authentic.
    • Become friends with the librarians! They are an amazing resource and love seeing people who care about books.
    • Books and stories (and the conversations you have about them) can help you maintain closeness with your children as they grow older.
    • Check out books and read them before you read them to your kids if you think they might have a viewpoint that is uncomfortably different from your own so you can think through things you can talk about together.
    • Stories about everyday people who can change the world are amazing. You don't have to be a famous person, or even particularly smart. You don't have to be rich. You just have to feel passionately about something and you can change the world!
    • The family routines can allow your family to feel safe even when circumstances change. Your home becomes the safe haven when life around gets crazy. Resources

    How I Finally Learned to Clean My House! [Episode 113] Jun 17, 2020
    Show notes

    It's taken me years to figure out the logistics of creating and maintaining a clean home. Today, I'm taking you through the very practical aspects of how to declutter and how to clean.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Getting rid of things does not equate to having a tidy home space.
    • Creating a home for each thing (read: containers) helps the space feel neater. The Dollar Tree is a great option to find cheap containers.
    • Use containers to help support your habits and routines.
    • Find a routine for a pick up time at some point in your day. (We like 4pm) It lets me ignore a lot of the mess and enjoy the moments of the day knowing that there is a set time that things will be put in order again.
    • Find one small step at a time for keeping an area clean. Start with practicing having everyone clear their plates after breakfast. Then add it loading dishes in the dishwasher. Then add in unloading the dishwasher. Adjust locations of things so kids can complete tasks. Adjust the time you have your meals so you have energy to handle the set up and clean up of the meal. Etc.
    • Link a new habit to an existing one. If tooth brushing is well-established, add a "tooth brush tidy" and clean up their room when they finish brushing teeth. In our house, this includes (1) put away clothes that are out, (2) put away books, (3) put away toys, (4) put trash in the trash can.
    • Hannah Rust teaches all about homemade cleaners and store-bought cleaners and real time cleaning in her course (see resources). It took away my paralysis surrounding cleaning.
    • Having enough cleaning cloths makes it possible to have enough to last cleaning all week so you only have to wash towels once a week.
    • Wipe down spaces as you're using them. Keeping cleaning supplies in the bathroom makes those spare moments usable.

    Deciding to do Things Differently with Hannah Rust [Episode 112] Jun 10, 2020
    Show notes

    Today I'm talking with Hannah Rust. She's a mother of almost 3 children. We talk about when she realized that she can do things differently than the way she had always done them and differently than the way others have done thing around her. This lead to her decision to live very intentionally.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Choosing an unmedicated and natural birth for her second pregnancy was one of turning point decisions that lead to intentionality.
    • Speak more kindly to yourself!
    • Recognize that we cannot define ourselves simply by what we get done in the day.
    • Just because you have done something one way does not mean you cannot change your mind!
    • Having a strategic plan for money prevents it from disappearing unknowingly.
    • Catching yourself when you start negative self-talk is the first step to changing it. Replacing it with a phrase like "I am enough" can combat it.
    • Understanding where you are on the path from Surviving to Thriving allows you to name where you are and understand that it's a season that can and will change. Changing seasons in the backwards direction does not mean you are slipping or failing. It's a cycle!
    • Being tidy is a skill, not a personality trait.
    • Clearing out the mess and opening up the time that you used to take to deal with your mess opens the door for you to ask the bigger questions about how you want to spend your time intentionally.
    • Getting rid of the clutter allows you to actually clean, not just spending all the time putting away the clutter.
    • Our kids are human beings. We are not better than them just because we are older and bigger and know more. They deserve respect just like another adult or friend does.
    • How we label our children is how they end up turning out. We see what we focus on.

    The Importance of Taking Care of Ourselves First So We can Continue to Give with Britney Grover [Episode 111] Jun 03, 2020
    Show notes

    Today, I'm talking with Britney Grover! She shares her story about the amazing change that has happened in her over the last year as she has learned some tools to help her with her mental health. She's learned how to take care of herself first so she can continue to pour into others.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Major life changes, like having a baby or having a spouse come home for deployment can trigger major emotions.
    • Finding the right counselor who can teach the baby steps that you need are key to starting to heal.
    • Remember that "thoughts aren't real." It can help calm the anxiety about things that haven't happened.
    • Figure out what things are non-negotiable for your mental health. Examples: prayer, scripture study, exercise, and sleep.
    • Let go of "should." Maybe things "should be" exactly as they are.
    • If you need help, keep looking for the right counselor until you find somebody who clicks with you.
    • "The God that I've come to know is the God that's telling me to accept myself and telling me to love myself as I am, where I am, with what I'm doing, with what I'm accomplishing, exactly where I am." - Britney Grover

    What I do When I Start to Lose It [Episode 109] May 20, 2020
    Show notes

    Today I'm talking about what I do when I start to lose it! I'm mostly enjoying this time we have during the quarantine, but there are some times when I am not fine. These are some of the tools that I've developed over the years that I am getting lots of practice on during this crazy time.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • I used to think that if I was in a funk, that I was there to stay. It's not true! I've found ways to help myself reset and have a great rest of the day!
    • This works for me 98% of the time - take a nap or go to bed early! Usually I'm just tired.
    • I refer to my quarterly review where I wrote down projects and things I want to get done. I find a way to make even baby steps progress on a project. Feeling productive helps built positivity.
    • I find a way (if possible) to get some space. If my husband can watch the kids for me, I go for a half hour walk by myself. I listened to a podcast, called a friend, and called my mom on the walk.
    • Listen to an audiobook to give some perspective to your life. Get outside of your own circumstances to think about something bigger than yourself.
    • Phone a friend! Just talking to somebody else feels so nice to reconnect, even if it's just over the phone.
    • Journaling paired with scripture study and really connecting with God is huge to maintaining my mental state. It helps us in the moment, but it helps rewire your brain to look for positives in your life! I'm finding more good the more consistent I am with my journaling.
    • Recognize that some things are nobody's fault. Nobody around you deserves the anger and wrath you might feel. It might help you to let it go instead.
    • Sit down for 5 minutes when you need to!
    • Exercise! Even if it's just a little bit.

    How We Strengthen our Marriage During Hard Times with Andrew Jackson [Episode 108] May 13, 2020
    Show notes

    Today we're talking about how to strengthen your marriage during hard times instead of letting those hard times pull you apart. I'm joined by my husband of almost 9 years, Andrew, for today's episode as we share some practical tips that have made all the difference for us as we've gone from bombing the hard times to having the hard times actually bring us together more.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Everyone's challenging times are different, but we can apply some principles to keep on the same page with our spouse when we are feeling the challenge.
    • When big challenges are going on, remember that you can't always be "on." Give yourself and your spouse grace. Lower your expectations!
    • Paper plates, to us, means it's a hard season and dishes is something we can let slide. It's so much easier to get kids to dump their plates in the garbage than to handle all the cleanup of the kitchen after dealing with a meal.
    • Assume that your spouse is doing their best, even if it's nowhere close to their normal maximum capacity.
    • Check in and connect every night especially during hard times.
    • Ask "How are you? and Where are you at?" Figure out the stories you are telling yourself about your interpretations of the day. You'll often find that the same experience has impacted each of you completely differently.
    • Ask "If I could do one thing, what's the one thing that's the most meaningful or helpful to you today?" or "What deadlines do you have?" "What are your top priorities right now that need time and focus?"
    • Asking these types of questions help figure out the pain points everyone is dealing with and maximizes the little effort that can get done during the day.
    • We have weekly planning meetings as a couple. In that, we each share our top 3 priorities to accomplish that week. Planning helps us adjust our efforts to help both of us meet our goals.
    • Share some fun and happy things that happened each day during your evening check-in.
    • Friday night default is date night! Rarely do we leave the house, but we know we will spend the time together after kids are in bed. Planning on it makes it something to look forward to and help us grow closer together.
    • Serve your spouse a little, even if you feel maxed out. It will go such a long way!
