Podcast_ep_273_website_image.png


This is it.

My oldest is now in high school and we've chosen to homeschool her. Actually, she chose it and we're all excited and nervous.

With an 8 year old son still in public school, this is a new adventure for our entire family. In today's episode, I'm talking about our approach to homeschooling, how we're organizing our days and what we've learned in the process.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why we’re choosing to homeschool our high schooler but not our elementary-aged son.

  • How we got started and what you need to do if you plan to as well.

  • A simple routine that we’re going to be following for this school year.

Ep 272: Let's stop equating time and energy

Podcast_ep_272_website_image(1).png


Money isn't the only currency we have in this world. We also spend our time and energy, often on tasks with little to no ROI (return on investment.) Something that became glaringly obvious over the last 15 months is how unequal time and energy are. Just because we have the time doesn't mean we have the energy.

Let's talk about how to save time AND energy and set better boundaries with our energy in general.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • What 2020 taught me about the value of conserving my energy.

  • The biggest difference between the energy and the time we have available and why they are often not equal.

  • Simple tips to help you create your days around when you have the most energy.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why decision making is so HARD for kids and adults

  • The importance of self-trust

Ep 269: BEST OF: How to create your home’s culture and why it’s important

Podcast_ep_269_BEST_OF_website_image.png

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

The way we run our home is so much more than the sum of it's parts. It's more than the cleaning, the cooking, the wiping butts and playing taxi driver to our kids. Much like any other social group, our home is built on the culture we create for it.

On today's episode, I want to take you inside this idea and why spending all of your time focusing and stressing about the minutia of day-to-day homemaking isn't solving the problem. Let's chat about how creating a culture in your home that fits with your values will bring you more joy (and less wanting to huddle in a corner and cry.)

Ep 268: BEST OF: How to love your home even if you don’t love your house

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

This is a common one, mamas and it's worth an honest conversation.

Living in a house you aren't super jazzed about can affect how you feel about your home overall. Our houses are dwellings, but our homes are a feeling. We carry them with us wherever we go. How do we go about loving our homes when we don't exactly love the dwellings we're in?

Ep 267: BEST OF: An honest conversation about resentment in motherhood

Podcast_ep_267_BEST_OF_website_image.png

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

I'm going to say something that will immediately ruffles some feathers: there have been times in my 13 years as a mom that I've felt resentful of the life I'd created. I'm saying that out loud in the podcast today as a way to start the conversation and end the shame. Resentment is the bi-product of circumstances, mindsets and beliefs and it doesn't mean you don't absolutely love your children.

Ignoring the feelings, or believing that this has to be " the way it is" in modern motherhood is going to keep resentment at the wheel, driving your life and causing you more unhappiness. You deserve more. Let's have an open and honest conversation about where it comes from and how to handle the feelings.

Ep 266: BEST OF: How to feel better by doing less

We're on a new episode summer hiatus, but you can listen to our incredible "Best of" series this July.

Where my overachievers at? If you grew up getting praise when you did more, you're probably thinking that doing less is lazy. We've been conditioned by a world that tells us that more is better, because doing more is how we prove our worth.

This is an episode all about the beauty and power of doing less as a way to feel better; emotionally, mentally and physically. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, mama.
