Episode 031: 5 Ways I put myself first everyday

I've said it before and I will say it again, the most important person in your life is YOU. Did that make you feel all sorts of weird?

Episode 029: How routines (and grace) helped me survive my postpartum season

The postpartum season of life brings about a lot of joy, a lot of tears and many times, a lot of emotions we aren't prepared for. In my care, that emotion was anxiety. After waiting 6 years to have another baby, I was thrust back into baby mode and honestly, wasn't prepared. I spent many nights sobbing, wondering how I was ever going to get back on track. My new routines (and a whole lot of grace) saved me.

While routines will not be the fix for all moms in this difficult stage, especially those dealing with crippling depression, it gave me more peace than I had in a long time. The predictability of my routines gave me strength and handed me some of the control I felt like I lost when I gave birth to my precious boy.

This is another heart-driven episode that I am honored to share with you.

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR TODAY:

• How me second postpartum experience was so different from my first.
• A true look inside my anxiety-ridden evenings.
• How routines helped me to create a sense of calm and peace after having a baby.

Episode 027: What are priorities, really and why are they so valuable

As mamas, we like to think we have our priorities in order. Obviously, our kids take top billing, but what about the other very important people in our lives, like ourselves?! Priorities can be tricky because we convince ourselves that they are set in stone when in reality, our priorities can change day to day, even minute to minute. What's more important than sticking to one set "most important thing" is realizing what is most important to you in the moment and staying the course with that. 

This episode dives into the feelings and emotions behind our priorities and how we can make better choices (and set better boundaries) to be certain that every step we take is with intention and purpose. 

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR TODAY:

• The true definition of the word priority and why that's important to us as moms.
• The priority hierarchy pyramid and why most of us have it backward.
• The one book that every mom needs to read to find the true meaning of what is important and essential.

Episode 026: How I set homemakerish goals for my home and life

I'm pretty intent on living my best homemakerish life and a big part of making that happen is setting clear and intentional goals for my home and life. Goals don't need to be grandiose. They don't need to feel like unattainable dreams. Goals are nothing more than the end result you want to achieve. They are the last stop on the GPS. Where are you headed and where do you want to end up? You can't plot your course if you don't know where you want to be.

This episode is all about how I set goals for my home, my business, my family and my life and the process I take to ensure that I actually achieve those goals (rather than procrastinating watching yet another episode of Breaking Bad for the 19th time...)

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR TODAY:

• Why I believe goal setting is the cornerstone of being truly homemakerish.
• The one question I ask myself when deciding what goals I want to set in my life.
• How I break down goal setting and achieving into small, snack-sized action items.
