Meant to Bloom

Decision fatigue is a pain in the brain! We spend our days making decisions for our homes, our families, ourselves.. Everything from “what’s for dinner?” to “did you pay the mortgage?” to “can I have a snack?” 

Let’s explore some of the ways that I’m limiting the decisions I’m making everyday to expand my capacity for better mental wellbeing and lean into peace, ease and joy. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Decision fatigue and how it’s screwing with your mind

🌸How I’ve been limiting everyday decisions

Welcome to Meant to Bloom Podcast where we talk real life motherhood struggles and simple steps to a brighter, more abundant perspective - you can be a happy mom and I’m here to walk with you on this journey to the life you’re meant to be living full of peace, joy and love - I’m your host, Brittni Clarkson and we are meant to bloom. 

Today's books recommendations are specially selected for the woman who feels a lack of self worth, self control, and need for self preservation due to the condition of her home. You are the mess, your home means nothing about you. Mess is morally neutral - and you are wildly capable. With these 3 book recommendations you'll learn to be a leader in your life and in your home. You'll shift your mindset and find your self worth and peace of mind. You'll learn from principles that have been around for over 30=-+ years, a neurodivergent therapist and my own personal mentor and friend who taught me the importance of less and letting go.

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸 The power of a new mindset and strong habits

🌸 The need to give yourself grace to be yourself in the process 

🌸 The importance of mentorship and community 

Have you ever wished you could just “be a better mom?” Are you currently dealing with anger that's spiraling out of control and causing harm, while also experiencing intense feelings of mom guilt and shame? 

Today I’m resharing one of my favorite raw and real conversations about the darkness of mom rage with Elizabeth. In this episode you’ll hear Elizabeth’s story of her “rock bottom - mom moment” and how she learned to change the way she chooses to show up and be the mom she always knew she could be. 

Elizabeth is a stress coach for Christian moms. She is the host of Emotionally Healthy Legacy podcast and a mom of 4. Elizabeth is super passionate about mental health and emotional wellness in motherhood. She supports stressed Christian moms in overcoming anger and embracing emotional stability, empowering them to leave an emotionally healthy legacy for their children's lives.

Ever feel like you just can't catch a fricking break? Like, a literal break in your busy mom-life? Today I'm joined by Alyssa Wolff of Unbusy Your Life to talk all things slow living and rest you deserve as a busy mom building an empire - whether that's your home or your business.

September is a great time for a fresh start. I’m inviting you into the inner workings of Meant to Bloom and sharing what’s leaving and what’s coming soon! I’ve shared with you all that the Etsy shop is closing down, but today we’re taking it all a step farther and shutting all the online spaces down for a while as we close out the year. Who knows what the new year will bring (or bring back) but the end of this year is all about saying goodbye to what’s no longer working and building up something soul-fueled and beautiful WITH you! 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Setting new priorities in your day to day life 

🌸What your active kindness means to me 

🌸The shift you’re about to see around here

Ever hug your kid and feel like there’s a steel plate between your hearts? Maybe he’s acting out and every breath you take is simply to yell at him to stop hitting his brother, or you put him to bed and see his sweet angel face for the first time that day and just feel like you failed him…. Connection is key to healing all of this

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Why kids really misbehave

🌸What your kids really need from you 

🌸3 ways to reconnect with your kids   

As busy mamas we too often put "getting healthy" on the back burner. We plan to start a fitness program after the kids get back to school, we plan to start eating better after today, we plan to get up earlier on Monday. Start today. Start now. Kelsey is here today to give us insights and tips from her professional experience as well as her own motherhood journey to help you make healthy living an easy option - not a someday goal, not something else to put on your to-do list, but a simple lifestyle upgrade.

Your home has a role in your life, as you have in its. You're not spending x amount of dollars per month for another series of tasks on your to do list, you're making payments towards another source of stress… You moved into your home with a purpose in mind: to have a safe, secure place to find comfort, sanctuary and to grow your family, but sometimes the mess gets our priorities out of sync. Let’s find a quick and painless way to fix that so you can get back to growing more and more in love with your life. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸The Room Reset Method for sanity saving tidy ups 

🌸Refocus your priorities and what ideally realistic looks like 

🌸Taking imperfect baby steps to create the home of your dreams 

Between mommy-martyrdom and busy schedules it can feel like we’re slaves to our own families. But in reality, the keys to the castle are in your hands. You hold the magic wand that turns that pumpkin into a carriage. That dream you keep dreaming, that life you wish you were living, the joy you crave - you’ve already got what it takes to get you there. But like Cinderella, you may hold the dream of going to the ball, but you’re looking at a pumpkin not realizing it’s your vehicle to the life you’re dreaming of. Set yourself free. Unsubscribe from the victim mentality. You’ve got what it takes and you are so so worthy of every dream you’re dreaming. In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Taking an honest look at your life right now 

🌸Living your Cinderella Story (FYI, it was never about the prince) 

🌸Dream casting 

How’s that secret competition with the aesthetic mom on Instagram who doesn’t know you exist going? I have yet to encounter a mom who is fully herself, fully empowered, fully happy with her life who is running the race to keep her home perfectly kept, dust free, smelling nice, decorated like it’s straight out of HGTV, attending every kid’s event, leading the PTA, and intimately fulfilled in her marriage. What are you working so hard for? Are you curating the life you really want to be living? It’s not like you can get the house perfect and then stop - it’s ongoing, there is no end game here. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Motherhood is not housekeeping, what’s the difference? 

🌸Kill comparison before it kills your joy 

Sometimes anxiety makes sense as our reaction to an event. It makes sense, but it doesn't help. Here's what you need to know about my 3 point method to remove anxiety when it's not totally irrational to feel that way.

In this episode we're chatting about:

🌸My family's experience with wildfire season

🌸How to ease anxiety when it makes sense

Over the years there have been a number of books that have inspired, awakened and moldedme into the woman I am today. This is part of the books that helped me heal my broken, hot-mess mom-life. Today I’m discussing the books that stirred my soul and opened my heart to love, compassion, grace, and kindness. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

Always start now if you can. If you happen to think “I should start going for a daily run” but you’re climbing into bed for the night - obviously don’t go run just then - but do get up and set out your running clothes, headphones and running shoes to eliminate your excuses and start now, when you see them. 

They say patience is a virtue. But you don’t have to be patient with yourself about taking action on the life you wish you were living. Live now. Start now. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Who are your goals really for? 

🌸Get unstuck from your broken cycles 

🌸Stop waiting for tomorrow 

The back to school hustle can be intense, but I'm here to tell you there is another way! You don't HAVE to be stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and irritable. You have permission to do things differently, to think differently, to react differently.. I have been guilty of overreacting to my high energy kids, but I decided I didn't want to stay there. It all starts with a choice to change and taking one simple action towards a better future for you and your family.

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Why you feel triggered by your kids 

🌸One gratitude exercise that really works 

🌸More effective ways to respond in chaos 

Keeping a schedule where you’re the top boss is difficult. As a mom I’ve realized I’m not a responsible adult, and yet here I am the responsible adult in the house. Kids thrive on structure, but they also need a sane and stable mama.. So what do we do when we aren’t the schedule keeping type? Let’s chat about that. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Keeping a loose structure day 

🌸The importance of rest & burnout prevention 

Self love can be hard to fall into - but at the very least let's start with being decent and kind to ourselves. Be a better friend to ourselves. - not a best friend - not someone we’ve grown so close to that we can treat like trash and they know it’s just our love language to haze them and bail on plans at the last minute. We should probably work on treating our besties like queens actually. 

You can’t be at peace when you’re at war with yourself.

What makes a good friend, how do you show up in that relationship, how do you talk to a good friend, how do you support a good friend with a goal, how do you support a good friend who’s struggling? Be that friend, for yourself.

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• The way you talk to yourself

• How to treat yo self in a kind way 

• Bridging the gap between here and there 

Want to know the best way to sabotage your own success? We're talking about that the time I did that today, so buckle up, Buttercup!

I've heard a lot lately about the concept of aiming to 10x your success rather than 2x, but I'm questioning how that applies to success in motherhood instead of business? I want to share with you today how I could have accepted failure in my own life and how I never would have started Meant to Bloom or written The Happy Mom-Brain if it weren't for that experience and my choice to keep on going.

There seems to be a huge surge of focus on decluttering in the online mom-space. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally here for it, but I’ve made a few observations and see a lot of people doing all the work for little reward. Getting rid of the stuff doesn’t help as much as you might think it will, especially if you think a decluttered home is a perpetually clean home, and you don’t adopt a long term clutter proof mindset. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• The decluttering trend and the truth you ought to know

• Functionality and aesthetics in your home 

• How inattentional blindness lets comparison steal your joy and screw with your gratitude

Feeling burnt out on meal planning? SAME! - until I started thinking about it differently. It's easy to get sick and tired of planning out what your family is going to eat every meal of the day when you're viewing it as filling the needs of feeding the masses. So how do you get excited about meal planning? Start to see it as selfcare. Start planning the experience you want to have in the kitchen and at the dining table, instead of planning for filling the fridge. Food can be a wonderful source of joy and a great opportunity to connect with your family, if we choose to see it that way. 

2020 was a tough year (to say it politely), but in Uncovered you'll find that we didn't let it stop us from building meaningful businesses. For me, it wasn't just about building a business, it was about building a life I was excited to participate in. 2020 almost ended me, literally, as you'll read in my chapter of the book. I'm thankful for it though. I wouldn't be the woman I am today, if I hasn't experienced the pain and worthlessness of my past.

In Uncovered, I get as vulnerable as I can. I'm sharing the day I almost ended my life, the details of the inner workings of my mind as I contemplated leaving my family behind and ending my own life. This is the story of how a hurting, heart broken, mentally ill woman chose a new path and created a new life for herself.

There was a time when I lived paycheck to paycheck and constantly overdrafted my accounts. There was another time when I strictly followed a zero based budget and knew exactly where every single dollar was going. There was a time when I tithed consistently and stringently. There was a time when I gave thousands of dollars without expecting it to return. There is a time when I have no idea where my money is coming from or going to, when the math doesn’t add up, and yet I always have enough. This is my money story and I’m hoping it teaches you something significant. 

Topics we’re talking about:

• Seeing money as energy 
• Trusting in provision 
• Abundance gives without fear

How many times have you sat down today, pulled out your phone, and called it rest - only to end up still short fused and agitated? Here's the good news/bad news - that ain’t rest. Rest happens in stillness. We are constantly stimulated throughout our days. We need rest specifically from this - and that rest is not found in your phone, Netflix, or other source. It's only found in the still and quiet moments. Here's how to get that feeling.

***********************************

What we're talking about today:

• Rest vs restoration 
• Overstimulation and avoidance 
• How to get grounded and really rest

This last school year was our first experience with formal education in our family and I can say we’ve done it all at this point. We tried on every shoe and though we loved all of them, they weren’t all a great fit. Here’s the recap of what I learned with our first kindergartener. 

In this episode I’m talking about: 

• Why we chose to start with formal schooling last year. 

• Our honest experience with school and his individual needs. 

• What I learned about myself, compassion, and empathy for others.

I've faced this struggle for far too many years before making a few simple tweaks to my mindset and habits that have greatly made my daily life better. I'm gonna share those with you today. In this episode we're talking about:

How many times have you taken a photo of your kids just to feel bad about it later because the background was a disaster? Or maybe you spent an entire dance recital trying to get a decent video of your kid and forgot to actually enjoy being there?

I had the opportunity to interview Stacy of Stacy Mae & Co Photography. We had an incredibly profound chat about motherhood and preserving memories through photography while overcoming the guilt and shame of living with messy surroundings.

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• How photography became a source of joy for Stacy 

• Tips for lowering your photo count on your phone

We’re supposed to be doing all things “in love,” but when society tells you it’s cooler to be a hot mess, have a bad attitude about all your responsibilities and count down the minutes until it’s “wine o’clock,” it can be even more difficult - because having love in your heart while changing a baby out of the third blow out diaper of the day isn’t already hard enough. 

There’s a few reasons we struggle to feel love while going about our daily mom-life, and I’m going to unravel these for you today. In my corner of the internet, I’m known as The Happy Mom, but I wasn’t always this way. I was so overwhelmed with motherhood and homemaking and marriage and existence in general and I struggled with depression and anxiety disorders for far too long. But I overcame all that, and I’ve made it my mission to help other moms do the same. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• How gratitude can rewrite your reactions  

• Setting boundaries and saying no

• Having more fun, everyday 

This system I’m going to share today is loosely based on a 5 day mindset realign challenge that I have taught spontaneously for the last 2 years, and a workbook that accompanies it has become my best selling printable product.

I’m here today to talk about what I’m calling Peaceful Productivity. I’m not here to peddle a superficial productivity that checks every item off your to-do list while you miss out on your kid’s childhood and show up burnt out and bitter every time you come up for air.

I’m all about balance and harmony. I’m all about learning to be mindful and present in the moment. I’m also about kicking ass and taking names when it comes to growing my business and caring for my home at the same time.

One disclaimer I have to make - I believe that YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT YOU CAN’T DO EVERYTHING, ON YOUR OWN, ALL THE TIME.

Motherhood is not housekeeping. Adulting with kids is not the same as “motherhood”. Anyone trying to do tasks with a child is facing an incredible handicap - that’s not what makes motherhood hard. Good moms can suck at cleaning, cooking, baking. 

How do you define motherhood? How do you measure your success as a mom?

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• Moms can have all kinds of skills 

• Motherhood is not housekeeping 

• You are a good mom 

Trigger warning:  This episode contains information about childhood physical and sexual abuse and is designed for adult listeners.  Headphones are recommended.

We like to pretend that some things aren’t a problem until they are a problem. In some cases this may work for you… But when it comes to the safety of our children, that’s not the time to chance it. We have to stop turning a blind eye to its existence and talk about the ugly pieces we don’t want to talk about to prevent these tragedies and atrocities from continuing on into our children’s lives. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• The ugly truth and shocking statistics about child abuse 

• How to talk to your kids about body safety 

• The Body Safety Box

You’re doing too much, bae. I let go of my to-do list over a year ago, and it’s been my most productive year - mainly because I’m not spending my energy beating myself up over what’s left unfinished. There’s a very simple method to getting your to do list complete and putting this method into your weekly rhythm can prevent a to do list from growing. You can ditch your list all together by using your planner in a way that helps you win your day. It’s not about planning every detail of your day, it’s about creating breathing room in your days and learning to truly rest in the process. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

Life is full of unexpected joys, but what about those times you were so sure you didn't WANT this joy? We're talking about unexpected second pregnancies. I think we don't talk often enough how terrifying pregnancy can be even for a mama who's been there before, even for a mama who's been TRYING to conceive. One thing is for sure: excitement and fear are almost identical sensations, and sometimes we feel both at the same time.

Courtney was a one-and-done mama who recently had her mind changed for her. I'm so glad she's here to share her story of how she changed her mindset and is fully embracing this new life with joy and excitement.

"Really take the time to acknowledge where you were and to how far you've come and if you don't feel like there's that much of a difference, it's never too late to change that. I think that having those external resources will be the difference between how I navigated postpartum depression or anxiety back then versus how I may handle it now." Courtney Wendzicki on comparing her current pregnancy to her first.

I’m sick of being told that I have to be a mom-preneur to live a fulfilled life - yes, I am building a business as a stay at home mom, but too often I get fooled into thinking that the mom part is the lesser of the two. I do my best to create a life that harmonizes the work, the play, the love, etc, but sometimes old thought patterns make a cameo and turn things upside down. I want to normalize that part - the realigning, the recentering, the refocusing on what’s truly important and impactful in our everyday lives.

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• Motherhood is leadership 

• Your dream to be a SAHM is big enough 

• Stop mind reading and be yourself anyway

Some things just don’t go the way we plan. My weekend getaway to Vegas for example. What was meant to be a romantic and fun trip with the husband, wasn’t meant to include a two hour sob fest in the hotel room rethinking my entire life, and yet that’s exactly what the weekend needed. 

I wasn’t being honest with myself, I was hiding away the ugly parts and pretended I’d overcome them each time, when really I was running away. The problem with running is they will always catch up to you, and when they do, you’ll be exhausted. Lesson: it’s best to face the fears, face the lies, face the ugliness, when it’s still small and fresh. 

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

• My mental break down in a Vegas hotel room 

• Check on your own red flags 

• Happiness isn’t a cure, it’s a remedy.

This statement might not sit well with you, but Being a Mom is Hard - and ignoring the difficulties is just another piece of toxic positivity. Our tendencies to hide away our troubles, put on a happy face and keep on swimming is what’s tearing us apart. Mama, let’s stand together, let’s hold one another’s hand. It’s not always hard, but it’s okay to admit that it’s hard right now. In the end it all makes sense, it all makes us stronger, it’s all worth it. But in the middle, know you’re not alone, know you’re not the first to feel this way. Motherhood is tough, but YOU’RE TOUGHER.

In this episode we’re chatting about:

• Isolation and Community
• Guilt and shame spiral
• It’s so so worth it

• Unexpected blessings when things don’t work out
• Managing anxiety through the chaos

There’s just too many different ways a woman today can be plagued by unworthiness.

I know especially as women, we are surrounded by a lot of comparisons.  In social media, advertisements, magazines, tv… And they just show you pictures of what other places look like, other homes look like, other people look and that comparison starts you thinking “I'm not that good.”

And then there’s this productivity based worthiness. There’s this unworthiness that comes from feeling like we can’t achieve it all, we can’t complete our daily to-do lists, we can’t keep everyone happy, we can’t live up to all the heavy expectations that have been placed on us whether by ourselves, our environments, our families, or our religion.

How do we begin this journey to breaking free from those chains of unworthiness? Today I have Emily Louis of Abundant Grace Podcast here to talk us through this one.

We've all got that new Miley banger on repeat, and I now there's tons of you happily married ladies feeling like you "shouldn't" be singing it with such passion. But I want to challenge that mindset and say: Yes, you SHOULD by yourself flowers, even if your man already does. Self Love is the topic today! Let's chat about it.

Hey friend, 

The Happy Mom Method is on a mega sale for the last time ever this week and I wanted to share with you how this program is finally going to help you feel like a capable adult human.  

In order to live our lives with intention, we must first know what our intentions are. We must ask ourselves questions to understand what is really important to us, and seek a life that makes these a priority. A life without without intention is like drifting in the sea without a destination. You might be moving great distances, you might be paddling for hours on end, exhausting yourself, but if you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there. If you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there. Setting the intent for your life, and each day, is like charting a course. Everyday the time will pass and you'll keep putting in the effort, whether it gets you anywhere or not. Everyday is an opportunity to move closer to your destination, your goals, your mission. Every day is an opportunity to fulfill your purpose.
