    This MOMmentum podcast episode is titled "Mother's Day: When Enough Really Is Enough (and That's More Than Enough!)" In this episode, we will talk about the pressure that mothers often face to be perfect and the feelings of inadequacy that come with it. It's time to place the emphasis on mothers are already enough and that they do not need a fancy brunch or an expensive gift to prove their worth as a mom. Kristi shares insight on lessons learned over the years that was key to a more joyful mother's day for both mother and the rest of the family . Plus, you'll hear a portion from chapter 2 of Kristi's book, "Empty Besting," which delves into the concept of enoughness and how special occasions like Mother's Day can bring up feelings of not doing enough as a mom.  When those feelings arise, this episode has three ways to celebrate enoughness on Mother's Day:  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:  Enough -Embrace the Imperfect: Instead of striving for perfection, embrace the imperfections that make you who you are. Remember that you don't have to have it all together all the time to be an amazing mom. Really Enough -Celebrate Your Accomplishments as a Mom: Take time to reflect on your accomplishments, big and small, this Mother's Day. More Than Enough -Recognize Your Unique Qualities: Every mother is unique, and recognizing your own unique qualities can help you feel more confident in your abilities as a mom. Instead of comparing yourself to other moms, embrace your strengths and the things that make you a great mom. Mantras in this episode For Moms: Enough: "I am enough, just as I am, imperfections and all." Really Enough: " I am enough, and I trust that I have done my best and give myself credit for all that I've done.” More than Enough: "I recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make me an amazing mom."  For Kids: Enough: "I am enough, just as I am, and I don't need to compare myself to anyone else." Really Enough: "" I am enough, and I trust that I have done my best and give myself credit for all that I've done.” More than Enough: "I recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make me who I am, and I am proud to be me."

    Did you experience a "loss of self" when your name became ‘Mom'? It can be easy to lose yourself when you become a mom. In today's MOMmentum mini episode we are going to take time to rediscover who you are outside of motherhood. Our daily lives can feel like a revolving door of food prepping, to-do lists, work, running errands and bouncing from one school activity to the next. It's no wonder that as our daily routines revolve around our children that our sense of self gets lost. As this goes on, days turn into weeks that turn into years until you don't remember what you want or like anymore. What happens when we let our role as a mom serve as our identity? In today's episode I break it down why having a clear sense of who we are not only benefits you, but everyone around you. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to respond to the question, “do you know who you are?” Helpful tools to gain some quick insight to what makes you uniquely you What to do when people try to decide who you are for you If you have enjoyed this episode of the podcast, please take a screenshot and share it on Instagram and tag @kristihuss Make sure to hit the “subscribe” button so you don't miss an episode!

    Everyone likes to have things work out according to plan. Except, life doesn't always work out that way. Especially in your motherhood journey – expect the unexpected. There's no greater time to test how you handle things not going according to plan like when you become a mom.  Many of us have preconceived ideas of what life should look like as a mom. While each of our paths and stories can look different, the one thing we probably all share and have in common are moments when we realize things aren't working out the way we wanted or planned and are left asking ourselves “now what?” and must figure out how to navigate a new path. We have a choice if it's going to completely derail us or leave us stuck. In this first MOMmentum mini episode we will discuss ways to work through acceptance of what is and forge a new path while not losing sight of your dreams. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: A mindset shift to try when something doesn't go according to plan How not to throw your dreams out the window when life throws you sideways Using life experiences as an opportunity to learn and grow How to embrace the change as part of the adventure  If you have enjoyed this episode of the podcast, please take a screenshot and share it on Instagram and tag @kristihuss Make sure to hit the “subscribe” button so you don't miss an episode!
