In today's episode, I discuss the importance of shifting your mindset from never to not yet or maybe. Life throws all kinds of challenges at us. To take them on, you need an open mind—one that's flexible and believes in possibilities. I encourage you to do just that by drawing on some mama and non-mama examples from my life. The inspiration for this show emerged while considering the future of the podcast. It saddens me to announce my decision to pause podcasting. Yet, as the episode title su...
In today's episode, the focus is on the choice we have when things don't go as we had planned. Let's face it, as moms, this can happen often, with our kids frequently shifting our schedules unknowingly. On a bigger scale, maybe you planned for a different life. Whatever it is, you have a choice. You can sit in the negative emotions and allow them to take over your life and relationships, or you can acknowledge that it sucks and accept where you're at now. Accepting where you're at empowers yo...
In today's episode, I take a look at raising good humans. Often, as mothers, we put pressure on ourselves to get it right, but there is no specific "right way" of raising children. Doing your best and trying to do better is all one can ask for. What you'll find in the show are things that can support you in ensuring you raise kind people who have a solid foundation and feel supported to be themselves. Then, you can let go of the musts, shoulds and should haves to clear up your mental ...
In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Gesia Barra Cordeiro, a fellow coach and friend. Geisa is a communicator and leadership coach, and a happily married mom of two. After becoming a mother, Geisa realized that the first connection we need to build is with ourselves. This sent her on a quest to discover her feminine nature that resides in all of us, together with our masculine energy. Learning to balance the two has significantly impacted Geisa's personal and professional ...
In today's episode, I discuss a topic that has taken over my life for many years—perfectionism. It came up during a coaching session I had with a new coach. She asked me, "What would it be like to take the risk and dare to show up as yourself, to the fullest of who you are?" This got me thinking about how perfectionism impacted my life for so many years and how I want to show up now. Perfectionism is sometimes confused with striving to do your best, but, in reality, it has nothing to do wit...
In today’s episode, I interviewed Julianna Feron. Julianna is a mom of two and a certified birth doula who takes a holistic approach to childbirth. Together, we explore the fascinating world of childbirth. We highlight how having support in any area of your life can empower and give you back control. Childbirth brings us our amazing tiny humans. But at times, it can also come with the unexpected. Julianna’s role as a doula is to help minimize the unexpected and bring you, your daughter or gra...
In today's episode, anxiety is peeled back to expose what it is, why we experience it and how to reduce its hold on us. As women and moms, anxiety can come up in various forms. Societal pressures to do all and be all can bring about anxious feelings. Often added to the mix are feelings of guilt. This is why learning to reduce its hold can help relieve stress, free up your mind and put you back behind the wheel of your life. Anxiety used to consume much of my day. The strategies in tod...
In today's show, we dig into sleep deprivation and the impact this can have on your mental and physical well-being. The long-term effects are shocking. I've been experiencing some of the short-term effects of chronic sleep deprivation, and it's not pretty. This is why I wanted to bring awareness to such an important topic. During the episode, I talk about different sleep patterns, called your chronotype and how, if you're a night owl like me, society and children have us working against our...
In today's show we dive into a topic that affects the majority of the population, including yours truly. Imposter syndrome, or as I prefer to say imposter thoughts. Imposter thoughts are thoughts that regardless of your achievements, you think you are not good enough. Often you feel like a fraud and fear others might find out. Imposter thoughts will never disappear, but you can learn to reduce their impact on you. In the episode I offer strategies to help you do just that. A key thing to re...
Welcome to Season 3 of Mama Needs More! We're back with a new lineup of shows starting with today's episode on learning to set boundaries. This is such an important topic for overwhelmed moms. Learning to set boundaries helps you protect your energy, lowers stress, models positive behaviours for your children, increases your self-worth, and so much more. In the episode, I start by explaining what boundaries are. This is because before you can work on the how you need to know the what. I off...
In today's episode, I dig into the topic of the inner child and how to reparent her. We all have an inner child. She doesn't live in the past. Many of the emotions you feel today as an adult – positive and negative – are what she felt and learned growing up. This means she is very present. It's the negative emotions I focus on in today's show. When you're triggered by your children, you might feel enraged or very frustrated. It may be that you feel unseen, unheard, misunderstood, not good e...
Today's episode takes a slightly different approach compared to my shows. This is because of the amount of information coming out about the negative impact screen time can have on our brains. And by our brains, I'm not just talking about the adult brain, but also our kids. Areas that are hit the most are important things like sleep, mental health, education, resilience, perseverance and creativity. But like you, I struggle to cut my kids off completely. Screen time often feels like a moment...
In today's short and sweet episode, I discuss a quote I needed to hear to get me out of my head. Do you ever have this? You're watching TV or listening to music and you hear something that feels like it was meant specifically for you. This is exactly what I felt. In this case, it's about snapping at your kids, beating yourself up because you've been working so hard on yourself, and then wondering how this is possible after all your hard work. The quote reminded me that no matter how much pe...
In today's episode, I talk about an experience where I quickly judged another parent. His daughter was feeling emotionally overwhelmed (a.k.a. having a temper tantrum) and oh, I had some judgment going on about his response. In the show, I explain the story and my realization at that moment that I am also an imperfect parent, which is ok. Perfection is not what we're aiming for as parents, and we shouldn't even try. Good is great and good enough! When it comes to understanding our emotions...
In today's episode, we're talking about all things resilience. It's a word that's used so often, yet at the same time, it's also underestimated. In the show, I get into the details of what it means to be resilient and how important it is to acknowledge your inner strength. Resilience is something you need to practice. It's not an overnight sensation and in this episode, I share ways you can cultivate more resilience even when you're in the middle of a storm. Make sure to have your h...

This episode is a vulnerable one where I share my recent experience facing my fear... public speaking. In the episode, I talk about an opportunity I had to speak in front of hundreds of people. After the talk, my inner critic went wild, dishing out all sorts of harsh comments because things didn't go as planned. Instead of sinking deeper into a black hole, I turned to lessons learned. I share these lessons along with tips for how you can step out of your negative thoughts and move forward k...
As great as it would be to have a miracle way to know exactly what you're purpose is, it doesn't work like this for most people. In today's episode, I share some no-BS info on the hype that is finding your purpose, while offering you 10 steps to discover yours. One thing I point out is that you do not need to have a flashy purpose for all to see. A purpose is about what fills you up most of the time, whether it's big or small. Remember, if you're a mom, you already have one massively import...
Today's episode is number 25! It feels like a big number, so I'm celebrating with a guest. Nicole Dake is a mother, an award-winning author, a spiritual life coach, a blogger, and a social media influencer. In the show, Nicole shares her personal story and her trauma-healing journey.

While we speak about trauma, we also refer to th...
In today's episode, I'm joined by Karen Smith. Karen is the owner of Aunties Kitchen, an Indigenous business providing fresh, healthy and delicious catering services. After working for 25 years in the government, Karen decided it was time to stop working for someone else and instead, follow her dreams. During the show, we talk about reconnecting to who you are by returning to what's important to you. Karen describes that without taking risks, you will never know the outcome and how a positi...
