With special CoHost - Mr. Catch This Mama. We talk about our imperfect love story, and how we’ve kept it strong despite the struggles over the years. In this episode we give you 10 things we do to make it through.
Welcome to the first of a series we are calling Simply a Happy Wardrobe. In this series we are going to give you some amazing information on how to curate a closet, give you all the details of a capsule wardrobe, explain how to tackle your closet, how to figure out your fashion style and the ins and outs of a minimalist wardrobe. When you dress better, you feel better. It’s a fact. When you put yourself together, you accomplish more. When you shower and get dressed in a cute outfit you are showing yourself the care you deserve. That’s why we’ve put together this series. We want you to look in your closet and without a doubt feel like you’ve go it going on in the most effortless kind of way. We want you to feel empowered to end the closet agony once and for all. Today’s episode is a simple and perfect way to kick off the series. We know as a Mom, you have very limited free time. The little free time you DO have is so precious. As a result, your closet is the last thing that gets attention. Or maybe it doesn’t get any attention at all, unless you are scurrying past a clothing rack and see 70% off. Then you buy everything and never wear any of it because you really didn’t love it in the first place. But, how can you pass up a shirt that’s only $3.48? If you are anything like me, I’m guessing you love a cute outfit. You love the feeling of a pair of pants that fit like a glove. You love when you pick just the right shirt and get compliments every time you wear it! When you go to think about what you’re going to be wearing as we transition to fall it’s overwhelming so you end up just not buying anything new because you don’t have the time to pick stuff out! Don’t worry Catch This Mama to the rescue! We have made a fall fashion guide that is BUDGET FRIENDLY. We are talking everything is from Target and Amazon! Plus we’ve got some practical and cuuuute item for all the Mamas.
How many times have you tried to put your house together but have no clue how to do it? How many times have you bought a few decor items and wall art you liked and hammered some nails in the wall just to fill up the blank space only to be unhappy and confused and feeling like whatever, its fine. I don’t really know what I’m doing but I like that picture and I saw Joanna Gaines put it up so it has to be alright. What if I told you that you have a home style. You do! There are a few different types of home styles we are going to discuss today. We are going to talk about what the book says makes up this home style and I bet ya, just by discussing these different styles you will be saying ohhhh yeaahhh!! I gravitate toward that look. OR, oh no, that is definitely not my style. You might be asking how this is important to Catch This Mama. How is this going to help me own my mom life? Well, it is simple. We are so busy pursuing life. We are so busy and time is so precious that we are often left with little time to create and maintain and curate and cultivate a place where we feel proud to call home. Your home should be your sanctuary. It should be your jam. It should be the cherry on top at the end of your busy day. This is why we are doing an entire series we are calling Simply A Happy Home. We want you to rid yourself of the clutter that leaves you feeling exhausted and stressed. Once you’ve done that, you make room to create a space you feel so happy to be in. So, let’s dig into what some of the styles are and how we can create that space within out own homes. We are in no way experts just appreciate home decor and wanted to share what he have learned. So we just touched on some of the styles but there are a TON out there. We are going to touch on Modern with sub categories industrial and mid century, Traditional, Farmhouse subcategories shabby chic, country, and English country, scandinavian, bohemian/moroccan, coastal/nautical, and eclectic.MODERN source INDUSTRIAL source Coastal/Nautical Scandinavian Bohemian Traditional
Mom life can feel like the tough life. It's the often exhausted life, the under-appreciated life, but that doesn't have to be the norm.

Our conversation was a love song to the moms out there that feel stuck. We chat about going through the tough times and coming out on the other side, how to keep it together during the ever changing seasons of motherhood and how consistency helped Danie and her children during tough transitions in life.

My guest today is Brooke Sailer. Brooke is a thinker, writer, artist, teacher, singer, gift-giver, and also a diaper changer, shoelace-tier and lunch packer. She married a handsome bachelor after dating for only one month and ten days! She recently published this little book called “I’m Failing At This Thing Called Home” - It’s a book about her thoughts on changing the narrative embracing possibilities and re-making the home. Every page you turn in her book is filled with words of encouragement amidst the chaos and messy moments of life. It was a natural fit for us here at Catch This Mama because Brooke is encouraging us to take ownership of our mom life. More specifically, she is showing us how we can change the way we drudge through our day to day lives. Brooke asks the question “feeling like a failure amidst chaos and mess? and then gives the straightforward and so very true answer of… You’re not.” Today I want to talk to Brooke about how she overcame her own obstacles and adversities and what she is doing to show you how you can get off the struggle bus too.In this episode I chat with Brooke about the following...Your book was just lovely. Easy to read. Empowering. It is like you have it is all together and it is wonderful to see you’ve decided to teach what you’ve figured out. But, you weren’t always on this side of the fence. Tell me where you were prior to writing this book. What do you want to accomplish with this book? A pivotal part for me was in the beginning of the book when you talked about distractions. I SO resonate with this. You say “Our distractions are defining us, and I’m finally saying enough” AMEN! Tell me what you mean by all of this…I recently heard a quote that was something along the lines of “When you see something wrong in the world, you can either do nothing or something and I’ve already tried nothing.” It reminded me of your “it’s all in your head chapter” - Talk to me about what a fixed mindset and growth mindset is and how we can apply this in our personal lives today.How do you combat the idea of immediate gratification and switch to the idea that it is a journey and not a destination. What I mean by this is… you have this person who is ready to start. They start on the journey to reach their desired GOAL or mission.. except they set unrealistic expectations and because they don’t hit it right away, they stop and give up. You talk extensively about changing the narrative. This is an especially great thought. How can we change the narrative and what do you mean by this?First talk to us about what a capsule wardrobe is and why we should have it.In one particular chapter you talk about giving your home a make-over or as you describe it “re-make your home” Can you give Mamas a few tips on how to figure out what is important (valuable), how to make a plan, and what kinds of plans are worthy of making?What else do you have up your sleeve in the future when it comes to your business?
Welcome my friends, we are so excited you chose to listen to this episode. To be honest with you, this is probably way overdue. You may hear us talk about owning you mom life on just about every forum possible. But, we felt it would be good to give you a little encouragement by breaking down what it means or could mean if you truly owned your mom life.So, the dictionary described the word OWN as the following…To have (something) as one's own; possess.You own your life. No one owns it but you. You could say this is my own family and my own mom life another way to look at “own” is in it’s formal context…admit or acknowledge that something is the case or that one feels a certain way.For example, we are owning up to the fact we aren’t perfect as Mamas. I really think to own your mom life is both of those. You are acknowledging your life in it’s current state and owning up to everything it is. You are taking a gut check and asking yourself, how are you doing? What does life look like right now? The good. The bad. and the ugly. You are then saying… You know what, regardless of the flaws and the imperfections I possess this life. It is mine, it is no one else that can bring me happiness it is me myself and I, that can choose to be grateful and grace filled and content in the life that I have. So, I am going to choose to own this mom life. Key things you should do if you want to get a state in which you truly own your mom life Find things that are good RIGHT where you are. Realize it isn’t and didn’t go according to plan, but that’s okay. “Expectation lessens gratitude” - so change your expectation. It doesn’t mean you that you shouldn’t want a clean house or a good job or a happy life… but rather understand that if your house is dirty and you are so frustrated that it isn’t clean even though you’ve picked up 10 times today alone, it’s okay. The good right there is that your kids played. They used their big little brains to grow and learn and create. What better gratification as a Mom is there than that. So, find the good right where you are. Ask yourself what you want your life to look like - and then ask is that where I am? How can I live more like that each day? When in a wounded state of confusion, exhaustion, disappoint, it is easy to blame others, but even when you feel like it is someone else’s fault, ask yourself, what can I do differently? What can I change in my thoughts and my actions? For example, say your husband is sick and goes into the bedroom while you are left to care for the kids and do all the work. It’s easy to think WTF when I’m sick I do everything and don’t get a break. Am I right Mama? But, what if we thought what can I do differently? Maybe it means you go take care of yourself in a room next time you are sick. Maybe it means, you are capable of handling things a little better and at this point in time we could choose to offer grace and comfort to the person who loves you most in life.Choose both - Sometimes we set such strict boundariesI want to be a good christian which means I shouldn’t idolize things but I love a good house and a good outfit - that’s okay to choose both!I want to be a good friend and go to their birthday party but I’m super tired and my kids are all sick - you can choose both - take your friend out to lunch on a day where it won’t drain you and stay home and get wellI want to be healthy but that mexican food and that cookie look mighty good. Choose both. Exercise, eat mostly good and for pete’s sake give into the desire of the cookie and glass of wine. It’s okay!I want to be a REALLY good Mom and be with them as much as possible but I’m going a little insane and wish I could get out more or bring in some income or vice versa(maybe you want to stop working and stay home) - CHOOSE BOTH - create a life that uniquely fits you. You don’t need to fit the mold. We need to realize that it isn’t a one size fits all, all or nothing, must do it perfectly or else we aren’t good enough. Sometimes we are going to do good and sometimes we are going to say things that hurt others. But, that’s part of connection. And in life, all we want is connection to one another. So, let’s be vulnerable and positive in the belief and offering of grace and connection to one another. Be open to that and know that sometimes mistakes happen but if we can show others grace and even more important is show YOURSELF grace and realize you are NOT defined by your bad decision or mistake or mistep, or accident, then you will be that much closer to our whole mantra over here at Catch This Mama.
Danielle Gohr is the host of the Catch This Mama podcast. She learned to stop running and own her mom life. In this episode, she shares some of the lessons she's learned along the way. Show Notes: Chanelle: Hello and welcome to the moms who know podcast I’m you host and I’m joined today by Danie Gohr from the Catch This Mama podcast. It’s a great podcast. Danie is a lot of fun and brings a lot of energy and positivity to the show. I’m excited for this chat. To start off with, I love the name Catch This Mama. Can we start off there and tell us a little about your family and your backstory? Danie: I’m a mom to 3 girls, married to a saint. I’m so blessed. I’ve had the opportunity to be home with them this past year. Life is wonderful but it wasn’t always wonderful. I lived with a lot of turmoil at a rough age. I thought my life was pretty great, on the outside I appeared to have it all together. I would have plan B before I really gave plan A a chance. The reality was I was a runner. If times got tough I would just run. Catch this mama is about how I need to stop running. I lost my job and had been sulking and my husband came in and said, “I’m proud of you regardless.” I was an emotional wreck. It was at that moment that I felt unlovable that I had to face it all. My parents were both addicts: alcohol and drugs. I never wanted to face that. I suffered from an eating disorder (orthorexia). I had that perfect mindset. I thought that even if I was feeling things that I would be using it as a crutch. I had been a runner until I couldn’t run anymore Chanelle: there is so much in there I want to unpack. When you were in that phase of your life, would you identify with running from your reality? Did you know? Danie: Id didn’t know. I pushed the feelings of what was really going on out of the way and not facing the obstacles. Chanelle: it took that really hard time tot stop and assess your life. We just go, we just run without thinking of where we’re running to. It takes introspection to realize where you want to be headed. Danie: When you fall, it helps to have someone. I had my husband there and he helped me understand that it didn’t define who I was. It makes me want to extend grace. Chanelle: I think that’s a big reason why we go through things, so we can help other people who are going through those same things. Let’s talk about what you did to stop running. It’s one thing to realize what we’re doing, but getting over it and changing our thought patterns is a whole different story. How did you do it? Danie: people always want change, but they don’t always want to change. It took a lot of research and studying. The idea of woundology: when we have experiences in our lives where things happen to us, it would be so easy, and what most people do is to blame external factors for your wounds and you’re never able to heal. At the point where you can say, it’s not everybody else, you say, What could I do differently? How could I approach this situation or do better? Not being the victim Chanelle: that’s huge. I try to teach that to my children. You can only control yourselves, as moms we probably teach some version of that to our kids. And yet somehow, it’s easy to step into this victim role. This isn’t fair! But we don’t have control over that Danie: that’s why I love reading these golden books, old books, as I read these with my children, I think I could apply this into my own life. It comes down to simple things, we make it too complex. Chanelle: You are always learning! I think that is so key, if you always have your antennae up for learning experiences. There are so many ways to learn and to have new insights if we are open to it. I love it that you are learning from reading to your children. I’m not thinking that there’s a message in it for me when I’m reading a children’s book. I love it that you’re staying curious when you’re reading to your kids. That’s awesome! Danie: I feel like, John Maxwell. I was listening to his conference, and he talked about how people start learning as they get older. You have to make that conscious effort to continue to learn and to be empathic toward others. Chanelle: empathy is a huge part of it, as well as learning. One of the things that really stands out in your backstory is that you’ve had a lot of struggles. I’m curious to know how this has affected you and how you’ve seen personal growth through all this struggles. Danie: I’d say at a young age, I never established a strong base of who I was. It wasn’t until later in life until I felt comfortable until I was comfortable in my own skin. I was kind of able to figure out what was important in life. I finally have figured out that as long as we’re able to struggle towards one another we’re going to be okay Chanelle: I love that. that’s what builds a good marriage. Anything that you go through can bring you closer or further away. Not just from your spouse, but from yourself, who you really are. That struggle together can also be struggling together with God, if we’re doing our struggles the right way, it’s going to bring us close to our spouse, ourselves, and God. How have these struggles affected you as a mom? Danie: I think that establishing keep crying out to know the will of god without realizing it’s knitted into the fabric of our being. Your experiences will shape who you are. If you can use your experiences to be of service to somebody else, you’ll always be ok. Chanelle: What are you doing right now with your kids because of the experiences you’ve had. With young kids, how do your struggles influence your motherhood now? Danie: with my 5 year old, she’s made comments. They know without knowing. What I’m trying to do right now is help her understand that her curly hair doesn’t define her. Help her to know that that’s not the most important thing. Chanelle: I hear you really broadening her view. I think if we can help our kids understand and see that. One of the things I really admire about you is that you really wanted to be a stay at home mom, even though it took a while to get there. What did it feel like? Danie: my mom was always a working mom. I always felt the tug, I never wanted to go work on Monday. It never got easier, I just got used to it. That transition was what I need to do, and it doesn’t; mean that I won’t go back, but for that season it was what made the most sense. In 2017 I quit everything so that I could make sure I did that gut check and have an intentional life. Let’s build on that after I’ve created a strong foundation. Chanelle: my word was simplify. So I went through kind of a similar process, spending the time asking why I’m doing each thing. It’s so easy to get caught up in things that don’t matter. Tell us why you were interested in starting a podcast and some of the lessons Danie: I’ve always casually blogged, but I saw this wave of podcasts. Moms are busy and podcasts are a way I was able to nourish my soul, so I knew that that was a route I wanted to go. I didn’t know what I was going to podcast about, I just had a feeling that this was where I was supposed to go. Once I launched it, it just kind of took off. I’ve grown from having my guests on; it’s been so eye opening. Having that insatiable thirst to keep learning is why I continue to keep doing it. Chanelle: that is how I feel, totally. I felt like this is what I’m supposed to do. I want to make sure my listeners know that Danie has a great podcast you can go to for inspiration. She always ends her podcasts with a quote, so Danie, I’m going to put you on the spot and ask for your favorite quote. Danie: “Just be still and know” I’m the person that needs to say hold on a second, slow down, be still and know, and that there is someone way bigger than me out there. Chanelle: Danie, thank you so much for being on the show! Thank you everyone for listening to Moms Who Know! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
