218: Unleash Your Brain Power: Conquering the Never-Ending To-Do List for Good

Is your never–ending to-do list weighing on you?
Did you know that your to-do list could be the very thing keeping you overwhelmed?
Are you ready to kick the to-do list for good?

In this episode I share some neurological details about what happens in your brain when you live off a to-do list. Please note, I’m not a neurologist, but I’ve lived a life from both areas of my brain and I’m here to testify that one way is significantly better than the other. Yet so many moms don’t know this truth and allow themselves to stay stuck in the defeat of zapped energy, brain fog, and more.

I’m a believer in awareness being the first step to getting out from underneath the overwhelm and chaos and I am excited that I get to walk alongside the committed mommas ready for change. Once you clearly understand these different parts of your brain, you can more easily recognize which things in your life you can shift to live from a place of habit and routine.

I hope this episode blesses you!

213: Why I Don’t Believe in Balance

Are you desiring more balance in your life? 
Could you be striving for balance, but it’s actually creating more stress and overwhelm in mom life? 
What if there was another way? 

In this episode I take a look at balance and share why I honestly dislike the word. You literally cannot balance ‘all the things’ and whenever you think you can/are… you drop something, or realize that something was set aside, or a deadline was missed, to do something else. I don’t believe that scripture shares of a ‘balanced life’. I encourage listeners to consider harmony, or shalom, in place of balance. Then, we dive into the word harmony and all the goodness within, leaving you with some practical steps to create harmony in your life.

211: Why Self Care Is Important for Stay at Home Moms

Are you struggling to show up as your best self?
Feeling like your needs aren’t being met?
In a state of constant pouring out and needing refilled?

In this episode I dive into what I like to call your selfcare baseline… aka non-negotiables, aka fundamental needs. So moms, it’s so easy for us to fall into the trap that “selfcare is selfish”, that we need to keep serving and tending to the needs of others or our home before we can do anything for ourselves. But in reality, that’s backwards. We have to steward our minds, bodies, and spiritual health well SO THAT we can continue showing up for our families, home, and others. In this episode I dive into the critical importance of self care for stay at home/work from home moms and give you steps on how to get started implementing your baseline selfcare.
