What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Does it seem like just as much work to leave your kids behind for a couple of days as not to go in the first place? Do your instructions for family operational procedures during your absence run more than five pages? Getting away from our kids—for work, for the weekend, for a friend's 40th—isn't just good for us. It's also an opportunity for our kids to realize that “only Mommy” stuff they pull when we're around is not as necessary as they might have thought. Margaret and Amy discuss: Why our kids may behave better when we aren't around (and why it's not a bad thing) Why the best time to call your kids when you travel is in the morning How the instructions you leave behind can change as your kids grow Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: Kari Bodnarchuk for The Boston Globe: Preparing Kids for When a Parent Travels Smart Women Travelers: Keeping Mom's Business Trip from Being Mom's Guilt Trip Our episode "We Forgot What Little Kids Were Like" Kara Williams has great advice for vacationing with kids of all ages What Fresh Hell Podcast is going on tour across the Northeast US this fall!

We compare how the uncertainties that presented themselves during the coronavirus pandemic are similar to those we experience when entering midlife and how they put a spotlight on the changes we need to make throughout our lives and businesses. He also discusses how the global protests on systemic racial injustices have impacted his family and highlights the importance of taking care of yourself so you can serve and lead the people around you. "No matter what you’re feeling, no matter the stress that you’re under, no matter the fear that is going on right now - you can always create.

#008: This week's guest is Nina Restieri, who lives in Connecticut and is a mom of four children, Andrew (23), Jenna (21), Matthew (19), and Jamie (16). In this episode, Nina shares the unique choices she made with her ex-husband toward becoming a beautiful, blended family, how her motherhood journey has evolved over time, the process of learning to take care of herself, how she feels about becoming an empty-nester, and what she worried about unnecessarily when her children were younger. Nina explains how she purposefully created her business, momAgenda, around her role as a mother and expresses her honest opinion about finding work/life balance. She talks about a variety of potent, personal topics including losing her mother soon after the arrival of her first baby, her current dating life, and how parents can create close relationships with their children. Finally, she shares her straightforward tip for moms who are feeling overwhelmed. Nina Restieri is a mom of four children and the Founder and President of momAgenda. She initially created momAgenda for herself, as a way to get more organized and find peace of mind amid the chaos of raising young children. She quickly realized that her new creation could benefit not just her but thousands of other stressed-out and overwhelmed moms. Shortly thereafter, Nina debuted her line of organizing products at the National Stationery Show – and sold out within three days to 120 stores. At that moment, Nina knew she had struck a chord with women all over the country who had the same desire to bring some order to their hectic lives. Nina graduated from Colgate University where she majored in English. She writes a popular blog and is a frequent guest contributor on the topics of self-care, time management, parenting, motherhood, and divorce on other websites and blogs.For the links and show notes for this episode, head to: http://beingmompodcast.com/podcast/episode-008

We begin our new series, Being Church At Home, by looking at 2 Timothy 1:1-9 and the impact of "Being Mom"
Everyone tells you that it will “fly by” at all the times you don’t want to hear it. You’re a new mom practically drowning in care taking and they giggle and say, “Someday you’ll miss it.” You’re instinct is to punch someone or something and stick up a middle finger, but then it happens… your kid heads to kindergarten, high school, college… and there you are missing the dirty diapers and chubby baby legs.As if missing your kids isn’t enough, on top of this heartache you realize you no longer know who you are. In all the sports games, and sleepovers, you lost connection to your own passions and dreams, and now here you are in the quiet of your new life wondering what’s next.That’s where we come in. There are lots of ways we can help you in our programs, but here’s a few to get you started.~Journal promptsMake a list of 100 activities you could do with one free hour. Let your mind go crazy: write things you have always wanted to do, things you're afraid to do, things you think you’d rather die than doing, write it all… go crazy!Read through the list and notice what’s happening in your body as you imagine doing each of these things.Now circle 10 and add them to your bucket list~Feng ShuiFind your Creativity & Children areaDecide what you want...what issue are you specifically trying to solve?Become aware of what’s happening in your space. What is it trying to show you about your ability to creatively express yourself?

If not, remove them.Empower your space with:The color white or metal objectsItems, symbols, artwork or photos that connect you to your authentic creative expression...connecting you back to your core self.Look for the signs...Watch as the magic unfoldsLinks and mentions:Understanding the Feng Shui bagua map: http://www.jenheilman.com/blog/2018/6/27/the-bagua-map-the-most-important-tool-in-feng-shuiAmanda’s Being MOM: bloghttps://www.amandastarkingsley.com/news-notes/As always:Be sure to check out our website and follow us on Instagram!We’d love to be hear about your AHA moments and takeaways: @connectedgrowthcoachingIf you heard something you loved in this or any episode:Leave us a Review + Subscribe via iTunesThanks for listening and sharing with friends!
We’ve had some real growth in our audience and I want to welcome new listeners to the show. There are things that you, the long-time listener may not know about me. So in an invitation to you, new friends today, and in the future, we are taking a moment to let you in. My purpose is simple. Smart, ambitious women are rarely thinking about themselves. What do they spend time thinking about? Their family's needs; aging parents; work responsibilities; the community; and more. Stress can fill our minds and consume our lives. These women, like us, have forgotten to think about and take care of themselves. I’ve worked in marketing and sales for years. So those are topics we address. But it’s not a regular sales kind of show. This podcast, Think Enriched, is the place for smart, ambitious women. We come together to share, enjoy some self-care, laugh, and be kinder to ourselves. We learn new strategies for success, then go and do tremendous good in the world. It is that simple. Where has your experience led you? As a child we lived hand-to-mouth. Started off as a money blog As my journey has grown, the show has changed. This is my second version of a podcast. The friends I’ve made through this podcast are exceptional (online marketers & the listeners) Where is this going? What’s your vision for this podcast? Women are starving. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Beat the army of burnt out women. Single moms, single women, married, gay, straight, or otherwise, there is too much to take care of in our role. "the exclusive site for smart, ambitious women." CEOs, & power moms have more in common than they realize. Managing multiple people, projects and items have the same principles. Create the system to conquer our little should self-critic. We work so hard to avoid failing others we can easily fail ourselves. I imagine this group of power women that have met for weeks/months at a time online. That when we come together for our retreat/experience…and finally meet in person at this power event. We learn business strategies, networking skills, keeping your vision fresh, support for women, trusting your intuition and emotions at the same damn time. There's not a business conference that I know of that meet the needs of women. It's like feminist women trying to fit in the man's world. Which is crap. Our world is different. We lead and nurture. It's not about bringing home the bacon like it was before. It's more than that. Putting feelings and emotion in a process doesn't make you weak, it add passion. it increases the energy, giving you momentum and power, and staying true The vision in my heart is BIG. Are you a family person? Family is the most important for me. My siblings are in different parts of the world and like any family, we have struggles. Military family which feels like, half-time 2 parents and half-time of single parenting. Support, love, and strength really is where it’s at. Home is our little bit of heaven. Are you all about the hustle and the grind? This is has been a big one for me… finding the balance. I like to jump in the pool, or whatever it is, and then think, “Huh. That was kind of a big decision. It just felt right at the time.” Being Mom & wife and still being able to give to this business can be stressful. Turning off my mind to business ideas doesn’t seem to work. I’m constantly searching for solutions and applying my life to my business and vice-versa. Do you happily work 18 hours a day or get it all done in just six? I’ve struggled with this a lot. My husband said to me, “I can’t deal with talking about this all the time. I need you. Not the business right now.” I had to find a mentor/coach/mastermind/ colleague to discuss the business topics. Turning it off is as important, if not more so, than keeping the business ideas going. What do you do for fun? My favorite, FAVORITE thing to do is to share stories. I am down for a good game night. I love to play with markers, hand lettering, and color. Make-up is part of that. It’s so fun to try new looks. I feel really good when I My Mom had a beauty shop in our home. Doing hair is a lot of fun. Braiding hair is really fun, but I’m really slow. Twice a week I share a show so it’s here when and where you need it. Because let's be real, girl, those moments you need a podcast show up. Moments like when you are: Focusing on work projects all day long. Your brain feels like mush afterward. Driving and pretending to keep calm even though your kids are screaming non-stop. Feeling low after a day when it all went bad. So bad. Needing a laugh to help you have a break. Trying to remember the last time you had a girls’ night and need some social time. You're not Mom, the boss, or the spouse. You are simply YOU. Wanting to have a conversation that is real and makes you feel good. Just because. Wishing a good friend would pop right in and cheer you on! We all have felt like this at some point. For a long time, I thought I was extra needy. I’m not. You are not. We are smart, ambitious and kind. Those specific qualities make us powerful. But powerful does not mean you’re a superhero. None of us are. The REASON I make this podcast is this: Because You DESERVE to love yourself right now. You NEED to give yourself YOUR BEST. Even though you don’t think you have time. Especially when you don’t think you are worthy of it. Self-care is not selfish. You fill up your own cup so you have more to give. Because what the world needs is you and your best. That’s why I put so much work to craft and share different podcast episodes each week. I’m there for you. I understand how lonely it can to be to support all those around you and still feel so empty. It’s something no one wants to talk about and yet we can do something about it right now. It takes time to prepare the show each week. 5 minute Monday Maxims, that quick shot of your mental Vitamin B can take up to 1 hour of time to produce. Longer episodes take 8-10 hours for production. I want you to feel confident. Cared for. Secure. Successful. And oh, so sexy! When you feel good on the inside it radiates in all you do. Can you imagine if all smart, ambitious women in the world felt this way? We would change the world. We can change the world as we work together. Now, you have a decision to make. You could just move on and forget this page. Nothing will happen. Things will probably remain exactly the same as they have been in your life. Nothing happens unless you decide to make it happen. Or you can do something different. You can contribute and become part of the movement. You can help move this force of powerful women forward. You will be first to know when we get together, in real life. Imagine the chance to hug one another, laugh, learn and work together to do even more good in the world. By contributing to the show, you’ll be sharing part of the quality and consistency others count on. You are becoming part of the team. Your insight will help shape the show for others who need it. When you contribute, you’ll be doing something special. You’ll help us keep the podcast free. You'll help keep it out there in the world for another person who is struggling and really needs it. You are paying it forward, literally, so others can join us. Click on the link and let me know how much this means to you. Your support at any level means a lot to me and to all the listeners who cannot give $1 a month. You are a star. Shine on.
In this episode, we look back on the examples of our mothers and their impacts on our lives. We recognize that each individual mother-child relationship is unique in their ups and downs, but we also recognize that God uses our mothers' strengths and weaknesses to teach us different and valuable lessons. By sharing these lessons we can grow in understanding of one another as sisters and as people. We hope you enjoy these stories as much as we did.
