This week was an emotional week discussing how grief isn't just for death. I discuss how I grieve what my relationship could be with mom and dad, friendships that have ended, and releasing who I once was. I also discuss our family is settling into a full-time schedule with my husband and daughter while I have more free time on my hands!

This week I discuss a very personal topic, prescription pain pills. I touch on how I grew up thinking it was normal behavior with my Mom, and the red flags I noticed as I got older and more experience. 

This week I discuss daycares and why I don't like the daycare my daughter attends, but she loves it! I also discuss loving an old best friend from a distance and wishing nothing but the best for her! There is also some snake drama! I also touch on the topic of what I have learned from the recent quality time with my daughter that also helps me tap into my past relationship with my birth giver! 

This week I discuss the highs and lows of my daughter being sick and staying home for four days! I also discuss boundaries for me personally when my husband is away and the things we have learned so far from being long distance! What a challenging time! Also, can you determine how the rest of the day will go based on the color of your coffee? 

This week I discuss what I learned from the Blackfish documentary. I also discuss my opinion on the things that were disclosed in the documentary. I also talk about navigating the new changes in life that are coming within the next three months. As a military spouse, I am navigating a 3 week training, moving, and an upcoming trip home! 

1. Look around on realtor. com and zillow for homes you would be interested in to get a target price range for a pre-approval from a lender. If you are a military then apply for the VA home loan.  2. Shop around for the lowest interest rate from different lenders.  3.  Be firm with your lender and agent about questions and expectations.  4. Escrow is property taxes and homeowner's insurance. Shop around for homeowner's insurance.  (Not all lenders do an escrow account) 5. Read the numbers!!  6. Do not sign anything if you do not feel comfortable! 

Key Notes:  1. It is normal to grow hair all over your body as a woman! You can grow hair on your arms, toes, stomach, and face!  2. It is important to defy what age you want to start grooming or when your feelings change about grooming later on!  3. Most importantly, if it decreasing your self-confidence then take care of it!

Key Notes: I refer to "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" by Amy Morin this episode!  -You can protect your power by setting healthy emotional and physical boundaries.  -The problem with giving away your power means you can let people define your self-worth. Do you let people define your self-worth or is do you determine your own self-worth? -Look at the people you are devoting your energy to and ask yourself if they are the people you want to receive it or should i go to other things that can further you, or your self-help journey?

This week I discuss my feelings about a conference "Now", Won't Let Go!  Key Notes: -If you rush the "now" then you could miss the wisdom that is needed for the "next". -Do you feel frustrated, angry, confused, hopeless by rushing the now, if you are? -I do not think it is crazy to be happy with what you have. To be more than satisfied with this phase of life.

Key Notes:  There are a 100 ways to be considered a "bad mom" but a 1,000 ways to be considered a "good mom'.  We, as mothers, have to stop putting our experience as a parent, our kids, into a black or white box. The gray area also exists! We all have different experiences that shape our parenting styles. Find yours! Sometimes we need to take a step back and be in the moment and celebrate! You can never get that moment back!  Give yourself some grace!
