    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.

    How to Have Friends When You're a Mom Part 1 [Episode 97] Feb 26, 2020
    Show notes

    Today is Part 1 of an amazing conversation with four of my great friends from Indiana on the topic of friendship. How to have meaningful conversations, how to serve each other, how to become friends with people who are different than you are all topics we discuss.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Meaningful friendships can come from all age groups, not just people who are the same age as you!
    • Be on the lookout for new people moving in and be ready to welcome them and invite them into the fold of your friendship.
    • Sharing your heart with your friends allows you to get to know each other's souls and develop a deeper connection.
    • Recognize that your friends are different from you. That acceptance of each other's differences can allow you to be inspired without becoming overwhelmed with expectations.
    • Do things for yourself like reading books or listening to podcasts and that gives you material to bring up in discussions with others.
    • Sometimes it is easier to be vulnerable and develop deeper relationships in one-on-one situations rather than large groups.
    • A good question to ask is "What are you excited about?" It opens the door for them to tell you about anything that makes them happy at the time.
    • You don't have to spend money in order to spend time together! Try nature walks, potluck picnics, parks, in each others' homes, etc.
    • When you have somebody over, think through what toys you want available and what doors you want open and closed to set the boundaries and keep the cleanup from becoming overwhelming.
    • Stay to help clean up when you've played at someone else's house. Play together and clean together!
    How to Ask For Help [Episode 96] Feb 19, 2020
    Show notes

    Today we are talking about how to ask for help and some of the principles about why and assurance that it's okay to ask for help! We all need it.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Asking for help can be hard, and that's okay!
    • Helping others feels wonderful, so remember it's okay to be on both sides of the helping. If we love helping others, it can be a huge blessing to others to let them help us.
    • The bar for getting help and asking for help is way, way, WAY lower than we think it is.
    • Interdependence helps lift everyone involved way farther than independence can.
    • Allowing the interdependent relationships to develop allows everyone to get help even when things aren't in pure survival, but even have help with the lesser, but still hard times.
    • We have to fight that lie that independence is the end-all be-all. Especially in motherhood.
    • Sometimes we have to be brave and ask for help so we can start cracking down our walls of independence and open the door for them to feel comfortable asking for help from you.
    • In some times of your life, there will be not be as much give and take and you will just need to be served. Know that in another season, you will get to serve when you are capable.
    • When you need A LOT of help, ask a lot of different people so you don't strain friendships. It's scary to ask more people, but spread it around when the help that is needed is ongoing.
    • Be specific with what you need help with.
    • Notice what lifts you up and practice doing that more in your daily life.

    How to Foster Responsibility in Our Kids with Theresa [Episode 95] Feb 12, 2020
    Show notes

    Theresa is a mother of two and owner of Montessori In Real Life blog and Instagram. Today we're talking about how to take principles of the Montessori philosophy and applying them into our home. There are a lot of practical ideas as well as Theresa's own story of growth.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Montessori is providing an environment that allows children to be self-motivated, curious, and confident in their own abilities. They are respected for who they are individually, and, in return, learn to respect others.
    • Having an open floor plan can allow family members to be together without needing to be doing the exact same thing.
    • Having a kid-friendly house does not mean it cannot be beautiful and enjoyable for adults too.
    • Montessori and home can be quite different from Montessori in the classroom.
    • Foster the natural desire toddlers can have to want to clean up.
    • You can arrange a closet in your home similar to how a classroom would store their materials to make for easy rotation.
    • How we show up for our kids really affects how the kids show up for the day.
    • Making time to refresh ourselves away from our kids weekly makes a big difference in being able to give of ourselves to our children.

    How to Embrace Our Kids Having a Normal, Messy Childhood [Episode 94] Feb 05, 2020
    Show notes

    Today we talk about how to embrace our kids having a normal, messy childhood and what we can do as parents to make things easier on us as parents. Don't forget to join our free Love Your Life Challenge!

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Being in nature and being messy is important to our kids' development.
    • Buying clothes from thrift stores or Walmart makes all clothes play clothes and takes the stress off keeping things stain-free.
    • Having a rain suit and rain boots keeps the kids from getting cold and wet while still enjoying the water play. They will play longer and happier and be able to just come in and strip off the top layer and be ready to keep playing inside without a total wardrobe change.
    • A waterproof art smock works wonders on art projects, but also daily needs like helping with dishes. It takes the stress out of letting your kids help!

    Living a Life of Creativity with Rhonda Steed [Episode 93] Jan 29, 2020
    Show notes

    Rhonda Steed is a mother of five (ages 7-17) and a woman of many talents. We talk about setting up a craft room for your kids, how to make sourdough bread, and life as a mother as our children grow from the toddler to the teenage years.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • When you are going through a difficult circumstance like Medical School, find a mom friend in the same situation. They will get you and be able to understand the trials you are dealing with.
    • Learn to carry on with your family even if your busy spouse is unable to be home. Learn to be happy when they do get to come, but don't bemoan your situation when they can't.
    • Taking care of your body really matters. It allows us to mother better and do our best.
    • To parent different personality types, set a goal to pray and think about one thing you can do for each child each day.
    • Start with construction paper and water with a paintbrush if you are nervous about introducing art supplies to your kids.
    • To keep the clutter down with so many creative expressions of our children, you can keep a new project for about a week and see if your child brings it up. If they don't, it's okay to toss it! If you're worried about it, take a picture and then throw it away.
    • Baking bread can be a soothing activity, like yoga.
    • Making bread feels like an accomplishment that can't be undone. So much of motherhood is cyclical but this is a creation that can't be un-created.
    • Take a breath and pause before you react when you're in stressful situations with your teenagers (and others). You might find the magic in the intentions of an action you didn't understand.

    How I Taught My Kids to Play and Why We Homeschool [Episode 92] Jan 22, 2020
    Show notes

    Today I'm talking about how I taught my kids to play, which leads into why we homeschool. If you feel like you always needs to entertain your kids and are looking for how to build the independent play skills in your children, this episode is for you!

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • There is no one right way to do anything, schooling included!
    • Even if you don't homeschool, you can take away ideas about how to run your household that can help your home life.
    • Enabling kids to have the space to play out real life things (like kitchen sets) gives them so much imagination and freedom!)
    • Recognizing kids' capabilities to feed themselves, wash themselves and dress themselves requires us to relinquish some control of our control, but opens the door to have the kids be able to be contributing members of our households.
    • Charlotte Mason teaches that children are born persons. They have their own personalities and ambitions.
    • Teach children to be a part of a family and a community.

    How to Support our Children's Education with Teru Clavel [Episode 91] Jan 15, 2020
    Show notes

    Teru Clavel is a mother of three (ages 10-15), author, and comparative education expert. She talks about principles of education that can be applied in all of our lives. We talk about resiliency, failure, and confidence. We talk about what we can do in our own homes to support our children no matter where they go to school.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Play-based preschool helped build children's independence and prepared them to make choices for themselves.
    • Some moments in parenthood when we realize our kids rely on us, so we have to "wake up" and meet their needs completely. We have to choose strength in that moment.
    • Failure is a critical part of the learning process. Most of the important lessons we learn in life come from failure.
    • Failure builds resiliency!
    • More technology is not the answer to teach our children. Having technology is not bad, but the learning process works better in a more tactile world.
    • Motherhood is a great learning ground for multitasking and prioritizing. We naturally measure everything against our children and their needs.
    Creating a Vision vs Goals and My Vision for 2020 [Episode 90] Jan 08, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode I talk about setting appropriate expectations for ourselves in our new year and the difference between a vision and goals. I also share about my word for 2020: Connection.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Setting goals or having a vision can keep us from drifting through our lives.
    • A vision can keep things in perspective for what you have in your circle of influence, even when it's a hard or the future is feeling unknown.
    • Think about the why behind your vision and goals. It needs to be realistic and compelling.
    • In seasons where you can't do, focus on who you can be.
    • If you are in a season where setting goals of doing is not realistic, have your vision focus on who you can be instead.
    • Keep moving on the baby steps even when you aren't feeling it so that when you have a "wake up" moment and see your life with fresh eyes, you can enjoy the life you have created.
    • Plan action steps for your vision (AKA goals) quarterly or even monthly if the whole year has too many moving parts to predict.
    Year in Review [Episode 89] Jan 01, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode, I do a Year in Review and discuss some major lessons learned this year. I also talk about some things you might want to consider as you reflect on your year as a whole.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Review any place you keep track of your thoughts or memories for the year.
    • Relive the fun moments or experiences you had.
    • If you can't plan the whole year, that's totally okay! Just take it a quarter, or even a month, at a time.
    • When you focus on your circle of influence, it will have a positive effect on your family. That often means asking for more help!
    • Communicating with your spouse to help make sure you are pulling your loads together, rather than pulling each your hardest but not together, will bring you strength.
    • Recognize the successes you have had this year and find what motivates you to keep going on your goals from those experiences.
    • Figure out what is in your circle of influence that can guide you towards things you really want in your life.
    How to Walk in The Light [Episode 88] Dec 25, 2019
    Show notes

    Merry Christmas!! Today, I talk about choosing to walk in the light rather than darkness during times of trial.

    Key Points from this Episode:
    • Angels are helping us in our times of trial even if we don't notice them.
    • Our thought patterns are like waking through tall grass. Our typical patterns are well-worn paths and are easy to walk through. It takes effort to try a new path, but you can do it!
    • Read the questions to ask God. Open the scriptures and read a few verses. Then review and ponder the questions and see where the Spirit guides your thoughts.
    • Hone in on what is in your circle of influence.
    • Accept what phase of the Surviving to Thriving Framework you are in (Surviving, Re-Entry, Normalizing, Exploring, or Thriving). Own it and don't try to keep a foot in the door in phases you aren't really in right now!
    • Oftentimes when our circumstances get bigger than ourselves, contentment can be the first thing to go. Peace can go out the door right with it.
    • Accept the circumstances for what they are and remember they are temporary. It will help you find peace and contentment where you are.
    • I can find peace and contentment right now. I can feel satisfaction and successes with what I am doing right now. I can feel gratitude and joy right now. Even when things are so so so hard. And that absolutely comes from being taught how to walk in the light.
    • We have so much help. We have so much love. We have so much support from God and from Jesus Christ and so many others.
    • It takes work to choose to keep fighting to stay in your circle of influences, but you can do it!
