You know that feeling when everyone around you seems tense or irritated, and you're just trying to keep the peace? You can feel the energy shift — someone's short, someone's frustrated, and suddenly it's on you to hold it all together. You're reading the room, managing the emotions, trying to make sure no one's upset. But what if that's exactly what's keeping you from feeling peaceful? In this episode, we're talking about what to do when everyone doesn't get along — and how to find calm even when the room feels anything but.   Mom On Purpose Membership Private Coaching (Motherhood) Private Coaching (Weight Loss) Weight Loss For High Achieving Moms Private Podcast Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Weekly Newsletter Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/373 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

As moms, we're quick to notice how our kids are feeling — but when it comes to our own emotions, most of us are completely disconnected. While you may not think it matters, the opposite is true: not paying attention to your feelings is costing you big time in your relationships (marriage and parenting) as well as professionally. In this episode, I'm sharing the truth about feelings in motherhood, how perfectionism keeps you chasing happy, and why emotional awareness is the missing piece that can change everything.   For more, join me inside the Mom On Purpose Membership for October's Masterclass, How To Feel Better.   Mom On Purpose Membership Private Coaching (Motherhood) Private Coaching (Weight Loss) Weight Loss For High Achieving Moms Private Podcast Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Weekly Newsletter Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/369 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

As high-achieving moms, we're wired to measure success by productivity — the clean kitchen, the checked-off to-do list, the perfectly packed lunches. But here's the truth: your kids don't feel your love through how much you get done. They feel it through your presence.   In this episode of the From Pressure to Presence series, I'll show you why chasing productivity actually creates disconnection — and what really builds closeness with your kids.

Motherhood isn't hard just because of the to-do list — it's hard because of the way your brain is wired. In this episode, I'll explain why your brain's survival mode creates worry, guilt, comparison, and overwhelm, and how that leads to constant friction at home. The good news? Nothing is wrong with you. Once you understand this, you can begin to think differently and create more calm and ease in your motherhood.   Mom On Purpose Membership Private Coaching (Motherhood) Private Coaching (Weight Loss) Weight Loss For High Achieving Moms Private Podcast Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Weekly Newsletter Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/366 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

You'll have a better experience in the moment, but you'll also increase connection with your kids.   In this episode, I'm sharing my real-life moments navigating tantrums as a mom of three, why yelling and snapping make things worse, and what shifts when you learn to manage your own mind first.   If you're tired of tantrums running the energy in your home, this episode will show you the first step to becoming the calmest person in the room.     Mom On Purpose Membership Private Coaching (Motherhood) Private Coaching (Weight Loss) Weight Loss For High Achieving Moms Private Podcast Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Weekly Newsletter Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/366 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

Seeing your child struggle can feel heartbreaking—especially when it's a challenge you wish they didn't have. The natural instinct is to worry about their future or jump in and try to fix things. But while those reactions come from love, they often create distance, pressure, and disempowerment instead of connection.   In this episode, I share why worrying and fixing don't work, how they impact your child's confidence and your relationship, and a better way to support them. You'll learn how to show up with calm, confidence, and curiosity so your child feels seen, safe, and capable—even in the middle of challenges.   If you've ever found yourself stuck in worry or rushing to solve your child's problems, this conversation will give you the tools to step out of that cycle and into a deeper, stronger connection with your child.   Mom On Purpose Membership Private Coaching (Motherhood) Private Coaching (Weight Loss) Weight Loss For High Achieving Moms Private Podcast Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Weekly Newsletter Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/366 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

You're doing so much—constantly moving, managing, showing up—and yet, at the end of the day, it still doesn't feel like enough. You feel behind. Here's why: You're using a to-do list. To-do lists seem helpful, but they actually keep you stuck in never-enough energy. Your brain can't visualize how long each task will take, so the list always feels unfinished—even when you've been nonstop all day. And because there's no true benchmark for "success," you end your day feeling like you failed, even when you did so much right. In this episode, I'm sharing the real problem with traditional to-do lists, why they're hurting your mental load, and the exact system I use instead. You'll learn how to plan your day with intention—not pressure—and why making this one change has been life-changing not just for me, but for so many of the moms I coach.  This isn't about doing less. It's about finally feeling good—proud, present, and peaceful—no matter how much you do. If you've ever ended the day feeling like you didn't do "enough"… this episode is going to change everything.     Free Private Podcast: How To Lighten Up Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Private Coaching Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Weekly Newsletter Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/359 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)
