Sharing the good, the bad and the not so pretty aspects when seeking personal joy and fulfillment while raising our families with aligned intention.

The biggest lie we tell ourselves in parenting is that we “don't have enough time”. And on the outside, sure it appears that way because raising kiddos is 24/7 gig. This episode uncovers what truly lies beneath this common excuse for not having what we want in life or in our parenting.

Dive beneath the surface of what is truly behind your current parenting experience.

The holidays can be tricky in parenting especially if there are outdated or misaligned "traditions" that no longer feel authentic. In this episode, we talk about a NEW way to teach our kiddos about the power of our intention and words.

No matter what season you find yourself on your mama journey - each one allows you to embrace the real you.

Parenting and being a mama can cause many of us to filter out our true essence. Now more than ever, our digital avatars can often differ from who we are in real life. And this is just one sign of not fully accepting yourself.

Your actions and words create not only your mindset, but your kiddos too. As we kick off season 2, let's use it to set the tone for a home culture that is centered around growth vs limitations.

Do you dress differently now that you're a mama? Or have you noticed a major shift in what appeals to you…whether that's comfort or to fit in. What if you were to start dressing as a way to channel your higher self?

I know how complex the food industry can be in disguising or misleading you when it comes to your health..I used to be in food marketing for over a decade!

Create a more powerful way to connect with your true self especially when navigating the parenting journey. Most of us find it easy to sideline our inner guidance and defer to experts or mama circles on the "how to".

That's right mamas! Your greatest power is your intuition, but the irony is that becoming a mama totally blocks you from this. Why? Well think about how much you default to "experts" or others for advice on child rearing, best practices, doctors...the list goes on. We find ourselves tuning out of our own guidance because let's face it..no one or nothing can prepare you for the massive shifts in your mental, emotional and physical well-being. I share a few tips to reactivate this gift to better support you.

Letting go to let your child thrive is the hardest concept to adopt in your daily parenting. But this is actually how you parent at a higher level because you allow your child to become more resourceful and build critical thinking skills.

Feeling personally fulfilled is absolutely possible while still raising amazing kiddos. I share three ways you can tap into this feeling effortlessly to achieve “impossibility”.

What happens when you encounter something that pushes against your comfort zone? Do you rationalize your way out of choice or opportunity? Do you convince yourself that now is not the "right time"? You are not alone and it doesn't have to be that way! Discover how embracing and inviting more of a challenge zone mindset is actually your ticket to less effort in your parenting. Get real time support and connection over on my instagram @effortlessparentingexpert - this channel is made just for you to get the support and guidance you need when you need it the most.

Can you believe that one of the biggest myths most of us have been holding onto is the one that keeps you trapped in overwhelm and survival mode especially as parents...being busy = achievement. It has never been about doing more to get ahead or what you want in life...Doing LESS things BETTER is what actually creates long term changes and results. Keep your vibe high on your social feeds and connect with me on Instagram @effortlessparentingexpert

Let's be honest mamas, this concept of being okay with not feeling your best can truly be derailing many mamas to not pursue the root cause of this feeling state. Discover empowering strategies to use this emotion towards auditing and optimizing your daily routines to better support you holistically. Just imagine how much more enjoyable parenting would be if you felt amazing everyday because you naturally prioritize your wellbeing before "all the things".

We continue the conversation surrounding an often "swept under the rug" daily feeling that naturally comes with parenting and that is anxiety and worry.  This seems like a common default setting because we anticipate our kids needs and prepare for all the "what ifs" that come with the unpredictability of raising little humans.  Part 1 of this series goes into this further so please do go back and listen if you missed this.  Today in Part 2, we cover 3 powerful ways you can use in real time to help you regain your center, stay present and lessen the anxious energy around parenting.  

Seems like feeling anxious, uneasy or just plan anxiety is often your default setting when you become a mama...but here's the kicker - this is can actually be a good thing because in this series you are going learn how to use this to your advantage. Now if you are like most mamas, myself included, being a mama meant that motherhood naturally leads to worry and always being prepared for every worst case scenario. Most mamas can end up spending their daily lives in the future even if that means just minutes or hours within your day. Anticipating your kiddos' needs is natural role in parenting but doing so keeps us away from staying present (high vibe) and stuck in "future mode" which naturally results in anxiety. This 2 part series will help you achieve more balance, peace of mind and less overwhelm in our parenting because getting out of anxiety gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to do mama life in a more empowered and inspired way.

Pretty major statement but if you have ever felt a bit out of sorts in your parenting journey - you are not alone. This “feeling state” is by design because your brain kicks into survival mode due to the massive changes that come along when raising kiddos.  Use this opportunity to get to know yourself at a deeper level and watch your kids become your mirror of all that is possible on the other side of fear, discomfort and the unknown.  

This is no small feat when it comes to prioritizing our health when raising a family. Everyone's needs take precedence often because we believe the "sacrifice" is a sign of "good" parenting! Let's replace this outdated and broken strategy and keep it simple. Discover my top 3 non negotiable habits that keep me happy, energized and fitting into my favorite pair of jeans. Share with me your favorite takeaway by connecting over on Instagram.

Have you found yourself stuck in the "DOing" of mama life? Constantly checking to make sure everyone and everything is taken care of all the time? You are not alone and this is often a common default setting for most mamas. Discover how staying in this masculine energy (DOing) contributes to resentment or feeling unfulfilled because we have tuned out our most powerful resource...our feminine power AKA our intuition.

We have all heard that famous "do as I say, not as I do" and well by now we know that a bunch of nonsense and truly is an inherited broken strategy in parenting.

One of the biggest assets to being a mama, is your ability to use your sense/intuition especially when it comes to your kiddos. This is an incredible tool in navigating the unpredictability that comes with parenting especially if you have more than one kiddo. However, the common side effect is that you lose touch with your own voice when it relates to your own holistic well-being. Think about all the books, podcasts, classes or workshops you probably attended when you first got pregnant. It is so common to outsource your natural intuition to the "experts" to tell you what to expect or how to approach XYZ in your parenting. After time, we can abandon our own voice and intuition when it comes to our own health, happiness and fulfillment which then leads to survival mode, overwhelm and burnout in motherhood. But not to worry mamas, this episode is all about coming home to your north star and reclaiming your natural ability to sense what you need to have the outcomes and results you want in your life. Make sure we stay in touch via IG @effortlessparentingexpert and as always, if you found value in this episode, please share with your mama circles. Together, let's evolve the conversations we have in our mama community to ones that help support our personal development and expansion.

Let's face mamas, in this digital age of parenting, we do no lack resources or experts telling us their "right" way to parent.

This episode shows you how to powerfully leverage your role as a mama to determine the root cause for your biggest parenting struggles.
