In today's episode, I discuss the importance of shifting your mindset from never to not yet or maybe. Life throws all kinds of challenges at us. To take them on, you need an open mind—one that's flexible and believes in possibilities. I encourage you to do just that by drawing on some mama and non-mama examples from my life. The inspiration for this show emerged while considering the future of the podcast. It saddens me to announce my decision to pause podcasting. Yet, as the episode title su...

044: When Things Don't Go As Planned

In today's episode, the focus is on the choice we have when things don't go as we had planned. Let's face it, as moms, this can happen often, with our kids frequently shifting our schedules unknowingly. On a bigger scale, maybe you planned for a different life. Whatever it is, you have a choice. You can sit in the negative emotions and allow them to take over your life and relationships, or you can acknowledge that it sucks and accept where you're at now. Accepting where you're at empowers yo...

043: Raising Good Humans

In today's episode, I take a look at raising good humans. Often, as mothers, we put pressure on ourselves to get it right, but there is no specific "right way" of raising children.

What you'll find in the show are things that can support you in ensuring you raise kind people who have a solid foundation and feel supported to be themselves. Then, you can let go of the musts, shoulds and should haves to clear up your mental ...

Take 10 minutes for yourself today to sit comfortably with a cup of tea or glass of wine to listen to this episode and move forward into 2025 on a path of change and healing.

040: Perfectionism, Authenticity & A Dare

In today's episode, I discuss a topic that has taken over my life for many years—perfectionism. It came up during a coaching session I had with a new coach. She asked me, "What would it be like to take the risk and dare to show up as yourself, to the fullest of who you are?" This got me thinking about how perfectionism impacted my life for so many years and how I want to show up now. Perfectionism is sometimes confused with striving to do your best, but, in reality, it has nothing to do wit...

038: The Truth About Anxiety & How to Reduce It

In today's episode, anxiety is peeled back to expose what it is, why we experience it and how to reduce its hold on us. As women and moms, anxiety can come up in various forms.

034: Reparenting Your Inner Child

In today's episode, I dig into the topic of the inner child and how to reparent her. We all have an inner child. She doesn't live in the past. Many of the emotions you feel today as an adult – positive and negative – are what she felt and learned growing up. This means she is very present. It's the negative emotions I focus on in today's show. When you're triggered by your children, you might feel enraged or very frustrated.

032: Screen Time, Mental Health & Learning

Today's episode takes a slightly different approach compared to my shows. This is because of the amount of information coming out about the negative impact screen time can have on our brains. And by our brains, I'm not just talking about the adult brain, but also our kids. Areas that are hit the most are important things like sleep, mental health, education, resilience, perseverance and creativity. But like you, I struggle to cut my kids off completely. Screen time often feels like a moment...

031: We're All a Work in Progress

In today's short and sweet episode, I discuss a quote I needed to hear to get me out of my head. Do you ever have this? You're watching TV or listening to music and you hear something that feels like it was meant specifically for you. This is exactly what I felt. In this case, it's about snapping at your kids, beating yourself up because you've been working so hard on yourself, and then wondering how this is possible after all your hard work. The quote reminded me that no matter how much pe...

030: Imperfect Parenting & Emotional Overwhelm

In today's episode, I talk about an experience where I quickly judged another parent. His daughter was feeling emotionally overwhelmed (a.k.a. having a temper tantrum) and oh, I had some judgment going on about his response. In the show, I explain the story and my realization at that moment that I am also an imperfect parent, which is ok. Perfection is not what we're aiming for as parents, and we shouldn't even try. Good is great and good enough! When it comes to understanding our emotions...

026: The Truth About Your Purpose & How to Find It

As great as it would be to have a miracle way to know exactly what you're purpose is, it doesn't work like this for most people. In today's episode, I share some no-BS info on the hype that is finding your purpose, while offering you 10 steps to discover yours. One thing I point out is that you do not need to have a flashy purpose for all to see. A purpose is about what fills you up most of the time, whether it's big or small. Remember, if you're a mom, you already have one massively import...
