There's a saying that says, "What you don't use, you lose." It doesn't matter how smart or how much potential you have. If you don't use it, you will lose it. In life, you get what you work for, not what you wish for. In this episode, we dive deep into why being complacent is dangerous for you and how to break free. Please do share it with someone to help spread the message xx

In this brief episode, the host marks her 32nd birthday and shares a heartfelt message about gratitude, remembering the loss of her sister at 30 and the sustaining grace of God. She challenges listeners to pause, reflect on how far they’ve come, and appreciate the blessings already present in their lives.
She encourages a shift from constantly chasing the next thing to praying for the wisdom to value existing gifts—health, family, faith, and provision—closing with love, hope, and a reminder that you deserve the care you give others.
This episode explains the "mental load" mothers bear—the nonstop, invisible thinking, planning and anticipating that leaves many feeling exhausted despite outwardly keeping things together.
The host describes how this background labor leads to high-functioning burnout and offers concrete steps: name the load, slow constant mental scanning, share responsibilities, and practice nervous-system resets.
Listeners are introduced to a follow-through method and a practical workbook to help unload, reset, and prioritize self-care so they can better show up for themselves and their families.
They say being wise means learning from others' mistakes. These lessons will transform your life if you take them seriously. They're hard earned. I hope you enjoy it, and please share this episode with a loved one to help us spread the message xx

I hope you enjoy & please share to help us spread the message xx

When you've been in survival mode, your nervous system adapts. It's always scanning for the next need, and then you layer productivity on top of that. It's no wonder we are burnt out. In this episode, we talk about how productivity affects us mums & high performing women. Share with a friend.
In this episode the host, a stay-at-home mom of two, shares how she reclaimed time by waking up early, finding small "pockets" of uninterrupted minutes, and changing her mindset about what’s possible in motherhood.
She explains practical strategies—closing open loops, avoiding multitasking, setting boundaries with her partner and children, using screens intentionally, and giving herself permission to quit tasks aloud—to create consistent time for self-care and creative work.
Listen for encouragement and simple, actionable tips to help you find and protect moments of calm so you can be a gentler, more present parent.
I know women who have overstayed in situations that were not good for them because they're dependent on the partner to support them. Always strive for financial freedom. Even if it's $5 a month, it makes a difference to how you feel and show up.
Share with a friend & help us spread the word-the more the merrier.

The people who seem to be doing a lot, it's not that they have more time. We all have the same 24 hours in a day, and what you spend it on determines the level of your satisfaction. This one skill changed how I managed my time.

In this episode of That Village Girl Podcast, a stay-at-home mom of two shares her personal journey learning to manage time by creating small pockets of daily ‘me’ time. She explains how waking up early, setting clear intentions, closing open loops, avoiding multitasking, and communicating with family helped her become a calmer, more present parent.
She also offers practical tips—nursing the kids back to sleep, using short focused intervals for reading or creating content, using intentional screen time, and asking her partner for help when possible—and invites listeners to a relaxed online Galentine's event on February 13.
Choosing yourself is not selfish. If anything, everybody else wins when you're first taken care of. Let go of that mentality because it doesn't serve you. I hope you're brave enough to unlearn the core beliefs that limit you. You've so much to give, but that starts with you choosing to love yourself and getting to know yourself intentionally. Please share this with someone you care about. Thank you.
In this episode, we talk about the most life-giving job of all times that is often underappreciated, yet society has high standards for moms. Every move is constantly scrutinised, but no one ever wants to help or support, and most people don't even understand half of what Moms go through. I hope you learn something from this and please share with someone. Thank you
In this Episode Hellen talks about how she met her partner and how her vulnerability allowed her relationship to thrive. Everything in life has a price, choose wisely but remember madness is doing the same thing over and over again and except a different outcome. Be courageous enough to show your partner who you truly are. Please share this with someone. Thanks, enjoy!
"Formal education will make you a living, self-education will make you a fortune." I love this quote because it emphasises the importance of learning and that it's never too late to learn something new to help you change your state. Financial literacy is one of those things we didn't learn more about while in school, but you can learn now and improve your life. I hope you enjoy this one.
