Meant to Bloom: personal growth for hot mess moms

It’s that cozy, wonderful time of year! I am in love with Christmas and everything the season means - peace, joy and love to all! I’m not so in love with everything society and commercialism tells us we need to do, buy, be, and make in order to have a happy holiday. I’m a firm believer that the holiday season can be simple and enjoyable. I’m here to spill the beans on how Christmas happens in our family (FYI, this involves speaking about long kept secrets you may not want your kids hearing from me - headphones highly recommended around children!) 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

✔️exactly how I plan and shop for the kids’ gifts 

✔️saying yes to less, in all types of ways 

✔️the mantra I’m repeating on a loop

Next Steps: 

I’m tired of hearing that moms don’t get a break, a day off, and especially that we don’t get to be sick… Whether we’re talking about getting hit with the cold-bug, navigating life with a chronic illness, or battling for your sanity against a mental illness; you mama, get to have a sick day.

You’re allowed to be sick. You’re allowed to take it easy. You’re allowed to do nothing when you need that time to rest. Let’s talk about how to make that down time easier on you - because recovery doesn’t need to feel like an uphill battle. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

✔️Throw out your current limiting beliefs about motherhood being a martyrdom 

✔️What you’re entitled to as a human being 

✔️How to make it easier on yourself to take a day off

Next Steps: 

Becoming intention, what you need to know to make this happen 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸How can we stop overcomplicating intentional motherhood

🌸A simple practice to keep going 

🌸What to do when you get off course

I know this season can be so full of chatter about gratitude, and peace, and joy, and I also know it can be full of feelings of stress, and overwhelm, and guilt. Time can feel so limited, but it’s important to take a few minutes to let your walls down and let yourself feel those good feelings. The world isn’t held together by your anxiety, it’s safe to stop worrying for a minute. It’s okay to feel happy, it’s okay to know that your life is beautiful and wonderful and whole. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of joy. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Understanding what gratitude really is 

🌸Tapping into the deep feelings required for gratefulness 

🌸A journaling practice that really works 

I’ve been called lazy many times in my life, mostly by my mom (parents just don’t understand). I tried to fight it for so long, and when I finally gave in, things started to fall into place. Let me explain this, I had it all wrong. I wore that false label while holding in my heart the truth and it caused a rift in how I viewed myself. I never felt lazy, but because I was experiencing depression, fatigue and burnout, I always felt like it was impossible to get anything done. 

I know we’ve talked about how we place an unrealistic expectation on ourselves and end up hurt that we can’t accomplish an impractical and inhuman amount of work in a day while juggling the home, the husband, the kids, and your own sanity… But today I want to take the time to discuss laziness, or our self-perceived laziness to be more specific.

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Reframing your trigger words 

🌸Understanding your cycle and patterns 

🌸Starting small but meaningful, with epic amounts of grace
