Mom On Purpose With Natalie Bacon

I lost 50 pounds after my third baby while raising three little boys under four and running a full coaching practice. Not by doing anything extreme, and not by making weight loss my full-time job. I'm sharing my weight loss story, what I stopped believing about weight loss, why I needed it to be simple, and how losing the weight changed my confidence, my energy, and the way I show up as a mom.     FREE Lighten Up Motherhood Private Podcast Subscribe     WORK WITH ME 1.Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course)     2.

You know you want to stay calm, and most of the time you really do. But then a small moment happens — the whining, the mess, the rushing, the backtalk — and you hear yourself snap even though you know better. If that feels frustrating or confusing, you're not alone. Snapping usually isn't a knowledge problem. It's what happens when pressure, overstimulation, and certain thought patterns build up in the background until your nervous system reacts faster than your intentions. In this episode, I'm breaking down why this happens, why high-achieving moms are especially prone to it, and what actually helps you respond the way you want to without lowering your standards or becoming someone you're not.       FREE Lighten Up Motherhood Private Podcast Subscribe     WORK WITH ME   1.Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course)     2.

Overwhelm has become one of the most accepted narratives in motherhood. So many moms believe their life is just supposed to feel like a lot all the time. But overwhelm isn't only about how much you have to do — it's about how your brain is interpreting what you have to do. In this episode, I'm breaking down what it actually takes to drop the overwhelm story, why high-achieving moms hold onto it longer than they realize, and the specific shifts that allow you to have a full life without feeling like it's too much all the time. If you're ready to stop living in constant overwhelm, this episode will show you where to start.   FREE Lighten Up Motherhood Private Podcast Subscribe   WORK WITH ME 1.Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course)   2.

What if calm isn't something you either have or don't have? What if it's something you train? In this episode, I'm challenging the belief that being reactive, intense, or easily overwhelmed is just "how you are." I'll explain why high-achieving women are experts at performance skills but rarely trained in emotional regulation — and how that gap quietly impacts motherhood. You'll learn what calm really is, why not developing it keeps you emotionally dependent on circumstances, and how becoming a calm mom is about building capacity — not changing your personality. This one will completely reframe how you see yourself.     FREE Lighten Up Motherhood Private Podcast Subscribe   WORK WITH ME 1.Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course)   2.

Parenting can look great on paper and still feel heavier than it should.   In this episode, I break down five common parenting mistakes that quietly weaken connection with your kids — even when you're trying hard and care deeply.   These aren't obvious mistakes like yelling or punishments. They're subtle patterns I see over and over that create pressure, over-functioning, and disconnection.   I share what these mistakes look like in real life and what to do instead to create a calmer, more connected relationship with your kids.   FREE Lighten Up Motherhood Private Podcast Subscribe   WORK WITH ME Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course) How I Lost 50lbs In 4 Months After Having My Third Baby (Mini Course) Lose 30lbs+ In 6 Months (Program) Weight Loss For High Achieving Moms (Course)   SOCIAL Instagram @ mom.onpurpose   Show notes:  momonpurpose.com/390 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

This is my take on how to approach the New Year in a way that actually sets you up for success all year long.

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)

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)
