Hey Momma! In today’s replay episode (while I enjoy some maternity leave and newborn snuggles) I am tackling the topic of “Toddler Tantrums” and the strategies and tips I am breaking down today can be applied to children of all ages. To best approach this topic I am breaking it down into three strategies: tantrum prevention, identifying the tantrum type, and solutions for effectively managing tantrums. While these strategies are important and extremely helpful in our day-to-day life, it is also important to remember that tantrums are TOTALLY normal, and they are developmentally appropriate. Every season of motherhood has its challenges and tantrums are certainly on that list, but we can equip ourselves with strategies, patience, and PRAYER, these moments will not seem so helpless. It is a passion of mine to genuinely enjoy and remain present in all seasons of motherhood and I am here to share my tips with you, momma, enjoy!

Hey GIRL! In today's replay episode (as I enjoy some much-needed maternity leave and newborn snuggles), I am talking about some of the top lessons I would have taught my pre-mom self in preparation for what’s to come. In my experience, there is no greater reality check than becoming a mom, to be completely honest, some days it is a GIANT slice of humble pie, BUT even on those days, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The lessons I have learned, the strength I have gained, and the newfound passion and purpose I have discovered through becoming a mommy is truly such a blessing. I hope this episode brings you comfort in knowing that the hard days are NORMAL, you are not alone, and you are doing an AMAZING job, momma! Go grab yourself a cup of coffee, kick up your feet, and enjoy the show, momma!   Today's Sponsors:  Moms Mental Health Web Class This month we have a FREE live web class on all thing’s motherhood and mental health!

Hey, sweet Momma, thank you for joining me today! Today's show is a deep dive into emotional intelligence and what this means as a mom. Having healthy emotional intelligence is (essentially) being able to understand your OWN emotions, but also being able to understand the emotions of others. Ahhhh, and that's why it's an important tool in motherhood! While not every toddler tantrum will be understandable, many of them will be a bit easier to handle when you can tap into this skill. I will tackle this topic with two hats -- my mom hat and my occupational therapist hat so you will get a little bit of both as I unpack this important topic. I hope you walk away from this episode with confidence and some new tips + tools to achieve a healthier emotional intelligence in your motherhood.

On today’s show I will unpack this topic as it relates to our life today because establishing healthy boundaries around our social media habits and usage, is EVERYTHING, Momma!

As we work through today’s episode, I will be unpacking some tips on how to establish healthy social media boundaries and then how to model those habits with our children and in our homes. I hope you find this episode to be helpful to you and your efforts to establish boundaries and say “NO” to negative + toxic social media habits.

Today I’m diving into a beautiful and highly requested topic: How to teach your kids about God. I will be sharing five major tips on how to begin implementing this into your home TODAY! Regardless of whether your baby is still in your tummy or if they are well into their teenage years, there’s no such thing as “too early or too late” when it comes to supporting your kiddos in their walk with Christ. As a mom, I want my kids to have the rich opportunity to attend church and Sunday school but also learn about Christ at home, and this happens through conversations rich in truth and faith on a regular and consistent basis. If we aren’t speaking truth and Christ into our children’s lives, then who is? This is a BIG responsibility we are blessed to carry forward and something we should all take seriously and whole-heartedly. I hope this episode reaches your heart, momma, and you walk away from this feeling empowered and more confident in your ability to teach your children about God. God bless you, your family, and your home, momma. Thank you for being here.   Today's Sponsors:    Ergobaby As a therapist, Ergobaby is my FAVORITE and most recommended baby carrier line for Moms!

Today’s episode was a special one for me, I had the amazing honor of interviewing Val Marie Woerner, she is an author, owner of Val Marie Paper, creator of prayer journals and courses, and a woman passionate about helping moms throughout their journey and walk through motherhood. Valerie has a unique story and like many of us, motherhood has played a major part in getting her to where she is today. What started as a personal need, a monthly prayer journal, has become an incredibly successful and beautiful business, truly an act of God. In our conversation today we will be unpacking some of the MAJOR myths that this day’s society is telling us and the impact it’s having on mothers across the world today. Val has some incredible tips and tools to combat these myths and get to a place where true enjoyment is found in this beautiful journey we are blessed to be on. Today’s episode is raw and honest, and we are tackling some MAJOR motherhood modern-day misconceptions!

Today I am joined by the INCREDIBLE, Caitlin Zick, and we are talking about healthy sexuality in our homes, in our marriage, in our children, and in our community. Caitlin is a wife, a momma of 4 (in FIVE years, by the way!! Go MOMMA!), an author, AND leads a ministry and organization called Moral Revolution. Moral Revolution exists to have a conversation about healthy sexuality: “believing that God’s design for sex is pivotal for people to be communicating and understanding because in the world that we live in it’s been so perverted and sometimes in our churches and homes it’s silenced or shamed, but we believe the kingdom of God celebrates it.” Caitlin truly has a passion for restoring the message of God’s design for sex in marriage and the beauty of it because sex was created and given to us by God, and this is something that should be cherished and appreciated between a man and woman in a marriage. To really unpack today’s episode Caitlin will be tackling the following questions: What is healthy sexuality and why is it so important these days? What’s happening in our culture to desensitize sex? What is the first step we need to go about (as moms) to protect our kids? What are some of the common struggles that are impacting marriages today? This episode is heavy and a FULL dose of scary reality about the world we live in today, but by doing research and getting educated we will have more control to TAKE ACTION and make a difference in TOMORROW. This is heavy on my momma heart today and I’m sure it is on yours as well, but I hope this episode doesn’t scare you, but rather motivate you to begin healthy conversations surrounding sexual health in your homes today!

Today Courtney and I are BACK with some REAL #momtalk and we have a good one for you today! We are diving deep into SIMPLIFYING Christmas and this message is timely, needing to be heard, and truly comes from our hearts. The main message behind today’s show has to do with getting back to the TRUE reason for the season and avoiding the “comparison game” this holiday season. When we break down this topic we aren’t just talking about gifts and spending habits, we are also talking about the importance of guarding and evaluating your calendar. Often, we are feeling the pressure to be at every event and opportunity, and it will RUN YOU DRY momma, and before you know it, it will be December 31st and the holidays will already be behind us. By protecting your calendar, you will enable quieter and still moments at home as a family, making memories and spending quality time together, which will provide you with WAY more joy than any “thing” can provide. I hope our meaningful, tip-filled conversation is a message you need to hear today momma and something you’re able to implement today and throughout this holiday season.

HEY, HEY momma! This is probably not news to you, but this time of year is my absolute FAVORITE! All the amazing feelings, emotions and memories-to-be-made that surround the holiday season are all part of the reason I love this time of the year so much!

Throughout this episode I will unpack five meaningful experiences that are great ways to get OUTSIDE, active, and creating memories together with your sweet family!
