Radiant Joy Motherhood
64 episodes - English - Latest episode: 11 months ago -THAT'S A WRAP for Season 2. I will be taking a break for the summer (because I'm a Mamapreneur too and I practice what I preach). Season 3 will be back in August of 2023 with weekly episodes jam-packed with insights and tips. Until then, come say hello over on Instagram - you can find me @RadiantJoyMotherhood.
------------------
For generations, society has painted motherhood as a time of endless joy and beauty - from pregnancy, through postpartum and beyond. This podcast is shattering that image by normalizing conversations about real motherhood. The messiness AND the beauty. The joy AND the self-sacrifice. I am your host, Lynn Turcotte-Schuh, Sea Lion Trainer turned Mama Mentor and I'd like to welcome you to Radiant Joy Motherhood.
Each episode will be packed with inspiration, reminders that you are not alone in your struggles and actionable ideas to help you start redefining your own motherhood experience. My goal: for you to know that it is OK to love your kids AND NOT love motherhood. My mission: to help you break away from society's expectations and redefine your own experience so you can find radiant joy in every single day.
So go reheat your coffee (or Chai) for the 18th time today, plop your kiddo in front of Sesame Street (or Dino Dana if you're in our house) and open your heart to finding radiant joy in motherhood.

Ep. 12 - Creative Connection
December 17, 2021 11:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MBDo you ever get in a creative funk…serving the same meals for dinner over and over, mindlessly walking through the day, racking your brain for something different to help you feel connected to your kids? Well, you are NOT alone. Today’s episode is all about getting the creative juices flowing and thinking outside the box…but it’s a little different than our normal “SHORTS”. My daughter and I found that we LOVE having conversations about protecting the planet and we love recording those conv...
Ep. 11 - Embracing the Homesteading Spirit No Matter Where You Live
December 10, 2021 15:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBOne of our family missions is to do whatever we can to help protect Mother Earth and spread awareness of simple changes people can make towards a better future for our kids. I guess you could call this the “homesteading spirit”. Having a real understanding of where our food comes from. A connection to the land and the magic of planting a small seed and harvesting food a few months later is so powerful. Creating a connection to your food and the earth...no matter where you live...fosters a t...
Ep. 10 - Our Kids Are Always Watching
November 22, 2021 18:00 - 7 minutes - 5.06 MBThis episode is from a training a did a few years back on body positivity in postpartum...but this concept, this reminder, is applicable to EVERYTHING. Our kiddos are ALWAYS watching. Imitating. Learning how to be and move through the world by mimicking us. It's a powerful tool and a huge responsibility. Will you use your powers for good or evil? In Gratitude & With Love, Lynn ______________________________________________________________________________ Want to check out our FREE online...
Ep. 9 - Grooming and Secret Safety
November 12, 2021 20:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBThere are topics that, as parents, we push away because they are not fun to think about. For example, when my wife and I sat down to write our will I balled my eyes out because if that document were to be enacted it would mean our daughter was an orphan. But it is so important to do these things to make sure our kids are protected. Today’s conversation falls under that heading of “things that are SUPER uncomfortable to think about but SO important to move forward with”. Our guest today is R...
Ep. 8 - It's Time to Make a Date With Your Kid
November 05, 2021 10:00 - 5 minutes - 3.89 MBOk - this episode title might sound a little weird, but what I really mean is...it’s time to get to know your kids. Get to know them as the amazing, unique, spirited, intelligent little human beings that they are. Doesn’t matter how old your kiddo is...whether they are not even talking yet or not ever taking a break from talking, there are ways you can ask them questions to really get to know them. I challenge you to date your kid! In the comments, let us know what age your child is and w...
Ep. 7 - Understanding Your Worth and Owning Your Power
October 30, 2021 10:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB“Can you place a monetary value on a person, event or experience that you love and cherish?” Of course not! This is a question from our guest this week...and it’s just one of many truth bombs being dropped in this episode. Our guest this week is Nicholle Overkamp from Wilcox Financial Group and PowHerHouse Money Coaching. Today we are chatting about harnessing our power, understanding our worth and disconnecting our value from how much money we bring into our family. Do you think that you...
Ep. 6 - Creating a Family Team Using Chores and Jobs
October 15, 2021 10:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MBOne of the questions I get a lot from Mamas is "how do I get my kids to cooperate without having to yell and nag all the time?!?!". One of my recommendations is to create a family team - both in atmosphere and in practice. A family team requires that everyone work together to achieve common goals, that everyone's voice is heard and no one person is more important than another. There are many aspects to this amazing dynamic, but the one I focus on today is using chores to bring the team toge...
Ep. 5 - Toddler Sleep Tips
October 08, 2021 18:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBIs Toddler Sleep an oxymoron in your house? If so, you've come to the right place. In this episode we chat with Certified Sleep Consultant, Katie Roeder. She shares her best tips on how to transition from 1 to zero naps, how to create bedtime routines even if you have multiple children and how to be patient and look for patterns before making big changes. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode and which strategy you will start to use today! For more support, inspiration and just pla...

Put Your Mask On First (And No, We Don't Mean the Cloth One)
September 24, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBThe last couple years have been mentally stressful for kids and adults alike. We know that kids tend to "bounce back quickly", but that tends to make us feel like they are immune to mental health struggles...and that mindset could not be more wrong. Our guest for Episode 3 is Jacquelyn Lazo. She is a Mental Health Advocate for kids and the author of the book "Comeback Kids: A Pocket Guide to Post-Pandemic Parenting".
