Episode 42: Channel your greatest superpower
Create a more powerful way to connect with your true self especially when navigating the parenting journey. Most of us find it easy to sideline our inner guidance and defer to experts or mama circles on the "how to".

EPISODE 41: How Motherhood disrupts your greatest superpower
That's right mamas! Your greatest power is your intuition, but the irony is that becoming a mama totally blocks you from this. Why? Well think about how much you default to "experts" or others for advice on child rearing, best practices, doctors...the list goes on. We find ourselves tuning out of our own guidance because let's face it..no one or nothing can prepare you for the massive shifts in your mental, emotional and physical well-being. I share a few tips to reactivate this gift to better support you.

EPISODE 36: It is NOT okay to NOT be okay
Let's be honest mamas, this concept of being okay with not feeling your best can truly be derailing many mamas to not pursue the root cause of this feeling state. Discover empowering strategies to use this emotion towards auditing and optimizing your daily routines to better support you holistically.

EPISODE 34: Tips for Effortless Travel with kiddos

EPISODE 33: Reframing Anxiety (Part 2)

EPISODE 32: Reframing Anxiety (Part 1)
Seems like feeling anxious, uneasy or just plan anxiety is often your default setting when you become a mama...but here's the kicker - this is can actually be a good thing because in this series you are going learn how to use this to your advantage. Now if you are like most mamas, myself included, being a mama meant that motherhood naturally leads to worry and always being prepared for every worst case scenario. Most mamas can end up spending their daily lives in the future even if that means just minutes or hours within your day. Anticipating your kiddos' needs is natural role in parenting but doing so keeps us away from staying present (high vibe) and stuck in "future mode" which naturally results in anxiety. This 2 part series will help you achieve more balance, peace of mind and less overwhelm in our parenting because getting out of anxiety gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to do mama life in a more empowered and inspired way.

Episode 31: Birthing of the Real You

Episode 30: Mama Health Made Simple

Share with me your favorite takeaway by connecting over on Instagram.

Episode 29: Reclaiming your Feminine Power
Have you found yourself stuck in the "DOing" of mama life? Constantly checking to make sure everyone and everything is taken care of all the time? You are not alone and this is often a common default setting for most mamas. Discover how staying in this masculine energy (DOing) contributes to resentment or feeling unfulfilled because we have tuned out our most powerful resource...our feminine power AKA our intuition. For more high vibe mama tips and resources, make sure we are connected on Instagram @effortlessparentingexpert

Episode 28: How to avoid mixed messages with your kiddo
We have all heard that famous "do as I say, not as I do" and well by now we know that a bunch of nonsense and truly is an inherited broken strategy in parenting. But this default and often subconscious habit leads to confusion for our child and results in them possibly tuning out their instincts. Discover how to change your well intended teachings and strategies when parenting especially between siblings.

Episode 27: Tuning out the noise and tune into YOU
One of the biggest assets to being a mama, is your ability to use your sense/intuition especially when it comes to your kiddos. This is an incredible tool in navigating the unpredictability that comes with parenting especially if you have more than one kiddo. However, the common side effect is that you lose touch with your own voice when it relates to your own holistic well-being. Think about all the books, podcasts, classes or workshops you probably attended when you first got pregnant. It is so common to outsource your natural intuition to the "experts" to tell you what to expect or how to approach XYZ in your parenting. After time, we can abandon our own voice and intuition when it comes to our own health, happiness and fulfillment which then leads to survival mode, overwhelm and burnout in motherhood. But not to worry mamas, this episode is all about coming home to your north star and reclaiming your natural ability to sense what you need to have the outcomes and results you want in your life. Make sure we stay in touch via IG @effortlessparentingexpert and as always, if you found value in this episode, please share with your mama circles. Together, let's evolve the conversations we have in our mama community to ones that help support our personal development and expansion.

Episode 26: How to Parent from the inside out
Let's face mamas, in this digital age of parenting, we do no lack resources or experts telling us their "right" way to parent. But this is exactly what causes you to feel so disconnected because all of these tools are external. Just imagine how simple your day to day would be like if you could be the same person all the time.
