Running a business is enough for most people to handle, but throw in motherhood on top of that and it's enough to drive a person mad!  Not anymore!  I hope by now you know that you cannot and should not "do it all," but most of us mompreneurs can't just start hiring people to take on all our tasks at the beginning as our business is getting off the ground.  In today's episode, I'm sharing six tasks mompreneurs should outsource today that are free or very cheap.  I'm also sharing some really ...

Trying to run a business AND be a mom who is juggling all the things for her family is HARD! One of the questions I get asked the most is "How do you do it all?!?"

The duties tied to being a mom are endless!  We often feel like we don't have enough of ourselves to go around and that we aren't giving each child as much quality time as we desire.  However, quality time doesn't have to be hours together, focused on each other.  You can spend amazing quality time with your kids in just a few minutes here and there if you are being intentional with that time.  And, I bet you are doing more bonding with your children throughout the day than you even give you...

February 17, 2022 06:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

It is inevitable that life will still face hard times even after becoming a mom.  In fact, oftentimes those hard time are amplified because they are tied to shame and guilt for struggling when we are trying to do the best for our kids and family.  While we can't avoid all bad times, we can find ways to "struggle well."  I have had my fair share of hard times since becoming a mom - postpartum depression, illness, family issues, friend issues, financial strain, job stress, kid behavior issues,...

January 04, 2022 06:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MB

Goal setting can be overwhelming and can also lead to us failing if we aren't careful.  Last year, I tried out the 21 for 2021 goal setting plan where you set 21 goals for 2021.  I loved it so much I'm doing it again this year with the 22 for 2022!  I love this method of goal setting because you can include a lot of smaller goals that you likely wouldn't include if you were doing "traditional" large-scale goal setting, and it's just a lot of fun!  In this episode, I'm sharing the goals I set...

36 // Lies Moms Believe That AREN'T True! (You Need to Hear This)

October 07, 2021 05:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MB

Moms are guilty creatures by nature, always striving to be better because we want the best for their kids.  We are always comparing ourselves, our lives, our stuff, our kids, etc. to others and somehow always come out lacking.  We believe we aren't good moms, our kids aren't behaving normally, we don't have what we need to raise our kids.  But the problem is, so many things we tell ourselves in our thoughts as moms are LIES!  And even worse, many of us don't actually tell ourselves lies, but...

We all know that when kids are around, it can be hard to get much of anything done.  As moms, no matter if we work or not, if we work inside the home or outside of the home, we are pulled in a million directions!  So many moms desire to be home with their kids but also want or need to bring in an income.  Guess what - you CAN do both!  It's not any easier, it's not less complicated, but motherhood can be hard (but also rewarding) no matter what your situation is, so pick your version of hard...

34 // How to THRIVE as an Introverted Mom (Practical Tips to Implement Right NOW)

September 23, 2021 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MB

Many of us moms are wired to be introverted.  This can be very hard in a seemingly extroverted world!  We are encouraged to go, go go, to be social, to get our kids involved, to spend as much time as we can with our kids, and to give so much of ourselves every second of every day.  None of these are *bad* things, but they do make mothering even harder for an introverted mom who needs time away, who is often sensitive to lots of stimuli (especially sound), who needs space and time to just be ...

When a woman transitions to motherhood, often many of her hobbies and favorite things fall by the wayside, at least for a time, while she adjusts to the demands of having a baby dependent on her for everything.  Over time, we can usually add a few things back in, but often things like reading never make it back as we continue to have kids and other things take up our time.  As a former English teacher, reading is incredibly important to me, and I think we would all agree that reading is some...
