35 | 3 Ways to Prioritize Friendship as a Young Mom

2024-09-2627:44

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m talking all about friendship and how to find and keep strong friendships in the midst of busy mom life. I’ve heard so many times from moms that the little years especially were some of the loneliest times of their life, which I think is so sad because I truly believe that often, this is the time we need the support, community, and life-giving friendships (and maybe just conversation with actual humans other than our toddlers) the MOST. I’m going to share what I’ve learned over the years as well as practical tips for what is working for me right now to prioritize friendship amidst a very full life! How to find life-giving friendships as a mom, tips to maintain and grow the friendships you already have, and how to practically make this a priority with everything else you have going on. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Are you exhausted trying to balance mom life, business, and somehow keep up on your home all at the same time? In today’s episode, I’m bringing on one of my amazing students, Jessica Tung Thomas.

33 | Always Choosing Work Over Your Family?! 2 Things to Let Go to Truly Prioritize Family FIRST

2024-09-1324:23

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, we are broaching the subject of work-life balance. I have shared pieces of my story of falling into workaholic tendencies and unintentionally prioritizing work over pretty much everything else in my life. Let me tell you, it was NOT a pretty season of my life. Today, we’re going to talk all about 2 practical things you need to let go of to truly prioritize family FIRST as a work from home mom. You have a desire to have a business or work in some way, but you also know you want your family to be your main priority-how do you balance BOTH?! Such a good question and one that I’m excited to start exploring a little bit more in this episode! And if you are a full time stay at home mom or work outside the home mom, I think there will still be lots that will apply to you as well. No matter what our “work” is, it can be very easy to let that work overrun and rule the show and crowd out our best intentions of keeping our family a top priority. Getting really honest about that and creating systems to help safeguard those priorities is so key in finding the balance that works for you and your family in the season you’re in. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

2024-09-1026:03

Hi, friend! Do you hate procrastinating? Does it drive you absolutely crazy to have an endless to do list, but then end every day just continually pushing the same items over to the next day again and again on repeat?! In today’s episode, we’re going to get to the root of the excuses that are causing the procrastination that is driving you NUTS in your life…and 3 truths to help you break through those lies and finally find consistency in your daily routines. Sometimes, hearing someone else talk through the specific things that you have believed to be true in your own life can really bring freedom to look at things another way and to see available options that you may have to find change in that area.

2024-09-0429:31

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m talking specifically about what to do if you know you need more consistency in your days, you want to reset your routines and habits to help you feel less overwhelmed trying to manage it all, you feel ALL OVER THE PLACE 24/7 and you know something has to change…but you just don’t have the time. What do you do when you know something needs to change, but you don’t have the time to set up the routine, you definitely don’t have the time to tweak and test and start over from scratch when the first routine doesn’t work for you in your season, and you feel like you’re just stuck. We’re going to talk all about the steps to starting where you are and how to do it in a way that is super sustainable for your busy life.

30 | I’m Leaving Social Media FOR GOOD! Can I Have a Successful Business WITHOUT Social Media?! (VERY RAW!)

2024-08-2949:13

Hi, friend! Have you ever felt like just walking away from social media FOR GOOD?! Well, I’m doing exactly that in a world where this is VERY anti-cultural. I’m getting really personal in this episode with behind the scenes stories I’ve NEVER shared online, vulnerable truths about WHY I’m doing this, and what this means for my business moving forward. I am usually very careful about sharing big pivotal events or moments in my personal life (or even my business life) not in real time, not in the current moment, but once I have processed it and am in a really good place with it. But, I’m breaking my own rule today. I feel like God put a specific tug on my heart to share this live, in real time. I think there are some valuable lessons here that are more impactful if I share the heaviness/the weight of this decision now so I hope this will be encouraging or helpful in some way for your journey. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

2024-08-0727:35

Hi, friend! Today’s episode is for the mom listening that has tried routines in the past, you’ve tried all the things-super specific routine charts outlined down to the minute, sleep routines, chore charts to get things done around the house, all of it. And no matter what it is, you just CANNOT stick to it for longer than a couple days max before giving up entirely. You want more organization in your life, you want to know what to expect each day (for both you AND your kids), and you want systems to help you turn your brain off at the end of the day and just truly rest and unplug, to recharge for the next day. You’re overwhelmed trying to balance it all and you need some help, but you know that routines are NOT the answer because they’ve never worked for you in the past. In today’s episode, we’re diving into WHY you’ve never been able to stick to routines previously and the 3 time management secrets you NEED to finally be consistent in this area.

2024-07-3146:04

Hi, friend! Is it even possible to run a business without social media?! You know you want to be on your phone less, but you can never find boundaries that actually work because you have to be on your phone to market your business!

If you’ve ever asked any of those questions or wondered how other moms and small business owners navigate social media, I’m pulling back the curtain in this episode for all the vulnerable (and frankly EMBARRASSING) stats and journey of what my social media usage has looked like over the years in all 3 of my businesses to date.

These can really apply for all ages (tweaked to your kids’ specific ages and interests), but my kids are currently toddler and preschool age so I would say specifically mamas with kiddos ages 0-6, all of this will definitely apply for you! I don’t know about you, but this summer is FLYING and as moms of littles, we want to find cheap, simple ways to embrace summer and create core memories with our toddlers and preschoolers-without making it more complicated than it needs to be! I thought this would be a fun way to crowdsource some fun summer activities to break up the mundane, cross a few things off the summer bucket list in a SIMPLE, low stress way, and just create some core summer memories with our kiddos especially now that we’re more than halfway through the summer. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

21 | Always Waiting For the Next “Big Thing”?! The Truth About Being Content as a Stay At Home Mom

2024-07-0524:41

Hi, friend! I have a really fun BONUS episode for you today! In today’s episode, I’m giving you a behind the scenes look at what the Lord is teaching me about content in the season that I’m in. As Christian mamas that want our lives to be focused on Christ and glorifying Him, we all want to be more content in our day to day lives and find joy in everything we’ve been given. But, I don’t know about you, but that can be a LOT easier said than done. I’m sharing some vulnerable stories on how I’ve navigated the majority of my life in this area, what I wish I learned earlier, and what it looks like to be content as a stay at home mom who has big dreams and goals. The Lord has taught me some surprising lessons in my life recently about contentment and finding joy in the season that we’re currently in, instead of just looking ahead to the next constantly. I want to share some of these lessons as I’m learning them just like I would sitting down with a friend catching up on what the Lord is doing in our lives so that is the feel of this episode. It’s a raw and real kind of episode and I’m praying it is an encouragement to you! Enjoy! Hugs!
