Podcasts about happy mom

This is our 2025 Mother's Day special.  We didn't plan it that way, but that's what it become. As we've noted in the past, Jennifer and I don't plan any aspect of our podcast other than asking Luana Anders, my pal on the flipside, who wants to come forward and speak with us. Jennifer and I have been doing this weekly for ten years, the past five on our podcast.  In today's episode Mother Teresa came forward to talk about Mother's day - and how women are built like Gaia - the mother earth - for compassion and empathy and whether they have or had children, they should be honored as mothers. I made a fun suggestion to invite Christopher Hitchens to chat with us - we've spoken with both Mother Teresa and Hitchens in the past - both transcripts are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE - but interesting to note that Mother Teresa nixed that idea. As I note in the podcast he was in denial about their being an afterlife - she said she had met him on the flipside, and no she didn't want to invite him to speak. She wanted to talk about the loving energy that people share and should focus on.  I asked her about the story of "Pope Joan" and I was startled to hear her confirm that it occurred.  That's mind bending - because the Church claims it did not, but if one has ever lived in Rome, they know that some streets are blocked off permanently - and no one is allowed to go down them.  According to legend, Via Papalis - between St John Lateran the old Vatican and the city - Pope Joan fainted from loss of blood, either from a miscarriage or from her period - and she was erased from the history of the church. Jennifer didn't know the story, but Mother Teresa does - and said it was true, and is "one of the greatest stories in history."  Mind bending because one could argue it presages the story of the film "Conclave" - I asked questions about the new Pope Leo, and we were told it was "meant to be" that he is the "Pope that is needed in this time." They won't alter our future with info - but this was mind bending to say the least. I invited the philosopher St. Augustine to share his opinion because the New Pope is from the Augustinian order - and he said "drink the wine." (Referring to his book "Confessions" and Jennifer's recent post about a client on the flipside who regretted he didn't drink the wines he had collected.  Jennifer's father Jim stopped by, and then when asked who wanted to speak, Jesus showed up.  Unlike most podcasts, I didn't edit any of the pauses between questions. So if one is listening there will be long periods of silence - if they're watching they will see Jennifer's face go through various emotions when hearing the answers. The answer is love. And Jesus repeats that in his answers to my questions. It's all about love - and "everything is always okay." Happy Mom's day.

The mental load of motherhood is heavy, and I am always on the lookout for ways to lighten it.  Can you relate?  A surprising discovery I've made throughout the years is how dramatic a difference knowing and voicing our values can make in lightening our mental load as moms. When we know ourselves well enough to know our core values, we are able to decrease stress and pressure and build up the structure and support that we need.  Knowing our core values is key to avoiding mom burnout!  I was really grateful to have the opportunity to discuss this at the Happy Mom Summit with JoAnn Crohn. In the interview, I discussed 3 ways knowing our values can help lighten our mental load, and I'm so excited to share them with you today. I absolutely loved being part of the Happy Mom Summit. I hope you find these takeaways helpful in lightening the mental load of motherhood!  *** Announcement: Values Guide Workbook: Discover your personal values with my helpful and FREE Values Guide Workbook!

We talk all about her experience in Pathway to Peace, how she learned to connect with her feelings and how that one tool changed the trajectory of her life. She decided that she no longer wanted to be "unhappily happy". She knew that she wanted more for her life and for the life of her children so she took deliberate steps toward finding her joy again. Alongside her role as mother, she is also part of the executive team of The Cute Syndrome Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to serving children, like her son Nico, with a diagnosis of SCN8A and their families. We talk about the value of diagnosis specific communities and the honor I have of working with a SCN8A specific Pathway to Peace cohort.Resources from this Episode:Mitchell Thorpe FoundationConnect with our Guest, Shelley Frappier:previous episode: Episode 743: Stories Like Yours Recorded On-Site at Global Genes ConferenceThe Cute Syndrome Foundation Connect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/Coaching OpportunitiesPathway to Peace {Group Coaching Program}: Schedule a Consult or Contact Me Join The Special Needs Mom Podcast Community FaceBook Group!!

Hi there, everybody, I am so glad to have you listening here today to this podcast episode. We are just wrapping up, I was gonna say the old year, which sounds weird. So let's just say that we are approaching the new year where a lot of us feel a renewed sense of self.   And we want to have a fresh start to all that we might want to achieve in 2024. And I know for a lot of you that is finding balance or finding work life balance. And so many of my clients want this too.   In fact, one of my clients, she was telling me that she found therapy. And she did it for a really long time, because she felt unhappy and unfulfilled, especially in her role of being a mom. She's a high power pharma exec. But she found basically, she had two problems with therapy.   One was that it was very expensive, and that it wasn't really covered by insurance, which happens, I think, to a lot of people. And also it was super time consuming. And then it really takes years to see the effect of therapy. So that's really what made her try coaching.   She found that within just a few months of working with me, she had her transformation and was really able to figure out finding happiness, peace of mind and balance her demanding work life along with her home life and responsibilities as a mom. And that coaching really provided tangible solutions for her that really therapy had not.   And I bring this all up because today I want to dive into the concept of coaching versus therapy in finding work life balance, or just finding a more balanced life. Maybe you've tried therapy, and it's helped for a little while. But overall, you still don't feel better. And here's what's happening to most people, when they're experiencing the following problems. You've got the successful career you're proud of.   But almost daily, you're filled with guilt, because you just can't show up for your family in the way that you want. And even though you've made it in your career, you daydream about being with your kids when you're at work. But then you're thinking about work when you're at home, and you're never present in your life because you're constantly flip flopping between the two.   Or when you make plans for fun when you're not working, these plans cause you to feel even more tired, more overwhelmed, and you don't get the sense of peace, rest or balance. And it's so frustrating. Because on paper, you've got everything that you've worked for personally and professionally, but you're still unfulfilled, you're still not happy, and you definitely don't feel balanced.   So often people will look for therapy or to find a therapist to solve this problem. And here's what happens, sometimes the therapist is a good fit, but sometimes the therapist isn't, and then that's kind of an issue because then you have to really go therapist shopping. And then maybe even couples therapy, which is great.   It's good to have a neutral party to mediate and bounce ideas off and have a different set of eyes and ears on your marriage or your situation. But even that doesn't necessarily give you the solution that your marriage needs. And then in therapy, sometimes you just wish that your therapist would be more prescriptive, but he or she isn't.   And a lot of my clients complain that their therapy sessions really turn into vent sessions. And though that's helpful to be able to vent things out, they don't really leave with concrete solutions, and they don't feel themselves finding transformation. And many of us have walked the path of therapy just to help us navigate our brains.   And of course, therapists do offer a safe space if you find the right fit. But it can be a challenge to find the right fit. And the journey through therapy can leave us with insights about our past. But then often, why does it feel like sometimes we're stuck in a never ending cycle of venting. And then maybe even after years of therapy, you might have a better idea of how your childhood has affected where you are today. Or also like what got you here.   But you're still left feeling exhausted and you don't know how to enjoy the now. You don't know how to even get from now to where you want to be. So really, here's what I really believe needs to be done instead: coaching. Because this really starts with an awareness. Awareness is the first step of all of this work. And it's basically an awareness of the stories that are going on in your brain.   So what is our brain telling us and really being aware of that and in tune with that. And then once we realize what our brain is telling us, we can make an active choice and we can decide do we want to play into the story, do we want to feed into the story? And really part of the work inside my coaching program is where you learn about the stories, the narratives that you're telling yourself and recognizing what's going on.   So questioning these narratives and deciding what we want to do with them. That really is the step of breaking free from the cycle of what I like to call the cycle of the daily grind dread, and gaining clarity on our thought patterns that really end up shaping and creating the experience of our lives.   So this cycle of daily grind dread is really something that so many women and moms in demanding careers, they are suffering from it. Where you're waking up in the morning, you're exhausted, your alarm goes off, you're not rested, you got to jump out of bed, get your kids ready for school, out the door, maybe get to school on time, get to work, and then it's go go go in the grind during the day.   You come home, you've got the chores or chauffeuring your kids around, maybe getting dinner on the table, and then you're so exhausted at night. Maybe you're scrolling on your phone, while you're Netflixing at the same time, and you stay up too late watching Netflix, and then you go to bed, not having gotten enough sleep to wake up and do it all over again. And this is just no way to live.   There has to be more, in fact, forget there has to be, there is more to life than this. And it's really through doing the deep work, healing yourself. Not bandaid solutions, which often therapy can be and doing the work to get yourself out of that cycle of the daily grind dread. And really getting clarity on what's happening in your brain and what you're going to do about it. So how do we figure out these stories?   Well take a moment to reflect on major events in your life. I want you to take a moment to do this. And really, I would pause this podcast episode or come back to it later if you're driving or walking or running and think about the major effects in your life, both positive and negative, and make a list.   And then once you have the list, look at each event and really think about the thought that you have related to each event. For example, for me getting into medical school, that was a huge achievement in my life, that was a huge event. Or maybe that is for you, what were the underlying thoughts and narratives that propelled you forward. So for me, it was that I can do anything I put my mind to. And knowing that that is a story, that is a narrative that's helpful. And I can use that and move forward with it.   Versus if there's maybe a negative event with a negative story behind it, we can become aware of that. And conversely, we can decide to drop that story and not play into it because it's not helpful. So understanding these stories is really the first step towards either carrying them on because we want to and this is all with intention. We're living a life with intention and having intentionality.   So we're being intentional with carrying the story forward, because it's helpful. Or in dropping the story and maybe creating a new one, if it's not helpful. And this is especially, you're gonna see this in the negative events. And one of the key advantages of coaching in breaking the cycle of the daily grind, dread.   So one of the key advantages to coaching is that it focuses on action. And it's really about getting ourselves out of this loop of monotony. So meaning this loop of monotony is what keeps us in this daily grind dread cycle, and we can't break free. But coaching helps us identify the stories that's really holding us back and replace them with empowering narratives.   And this is a proactive approach that really moves beyond vent sessions and actually offers tangible strategies to create lasting change. So getting out of the daily grind that dread cycle is really the happy professional mom method, the happy mom method. And we learn to have alignment and mindfulness and empowering ourselves so that eventually we can really enjoy our time with our kids.   Enjoy the trips that we plan, truly be present with them. Have the balance, have peace of mind. And this is all possible. And the reason I really do this work is to help moms like yourself, get out of the daily grind dread to really create the life that they want for themselves. A dream life in fact, one that really aligns with what they see for themselves because I want to make sure that you don't have regrets when you die.   And you're really making the most of this life and enjoying and being present for the majority of your life. To be a happier mom professional, have happier partners, husbands or wives. And happier kids, which really makes a happier world. And as a physician, I'm still practicing medicine.   But I have been there in the full time daily grind dread and one day was just bleeding into the next until I had my awakening when I became a mother and I just knew that I wanted to create a different and better atmosphere for my child. And that is what brought me into this work and that is why I do what I do.   And I heal people in a different way. I am a healer of course, because that's just what physicians are, but I get to heal people. I get to help women like you and really feel like I'm making a positive impact on this world.   So if you too want to learn more and see if you're dealing with issues like this, and they sound familiar book a call with me, PriancaNaikMDcoaching.as.me to see if you're someone that I can help too. Thank you so much for tuning in today and I will talk to you next week.

On this episode, we talked about: Masculine and feminine opened to receive Making a choice for yourself Creating a change for me Healing your inner child Investing in yourself  Creating a new story   "I'm going to choose differently, and I'm going to do whatever it takes for my family and change will happen to me"   "I do get to create the change and I started to see that when I change within, our physical world starts to change as well"   "If you want something different for yourself, if you have a deep desire and you know that you're meant for more, you will find a way to invest in yourself"   About Leona: The way I met Leona will forever make me smile. We both attended a big live event in San Diego, California in 2019 as we both felt we are meant for more than what we have experienced at the moment.    She was part of the after-party meeting that I was at and when she walked up to me and said `` you have an amazing booty I knew I already liked her lol.    Our conversation after that was of course filled with smiles but also her honest desire to get to know me as the one who carries her feminine energy and essence so confidently everywhere I go.    That was something that Leona never felt safe to express, due to her challenging upbringing, strict religion and toxic marriage.    Being feminine, unapologetic and making an impact was just like a dream too far away for her.    Yet today I look at Leona after two years together (where she had to also take care of her sick daughter, get divorce and move houses) all I see is everything she dreamt about and didn't even know was possible and available to her.    She is now a proud owner of three businesses, a fun and present mom of 3 amazing kids, making an impact, launching powerful podcasts, enjoying paid travels, and investing in her own growth continuously.    My heart is so full seeing her in her feminine energy, feeling safe to be her, speaking her truth and also unapologetically coaching her clients on how to be untamed and unchained.    Even though there were rough patches along her journey, she always told me, I am not doing this just for myself, I am doing this for my kids.  Because when I grow they grow.    What an amazing mother, entrepreneur and coach she is. Isn't she?   Who is inspiring you when the journey seems tough?  

Today I sit down with Gloria Niemi from Operation Happy Mom. She has so much insight for mothers and husbands on how mothers can get the support they need and keep the connection that they want. 

Why, as busy moms, do we often let our health habits go out the window? We prioritize our family. We think it needs to be perfect or not at all. Our guest today, Heather Kirwan, says this is NOT the path to true self-care. Heather is a new mom of three, a Physician Assistant, and pilot wife living in Southern California.She was really struggling with the demands of motherhood and put herself last on the priority list. Once she started building simple self-care habits, adjusting her mindset, and asking for support, she saw a huge change in her energy and confidence. She started Habit Maker Mama as a way to provide busy moms a community with tools and support to build healthy self-care habits so they can be the moms they want to be.In today's episode, we discuss…How, as moms, we often lose our best healthy habits once we have childrenThe outside pressures to be a “perfect mom”Why we prioritize things we “need to do” over what makes us feel good and energizedNegative perceptions of self-care in the mediaThe six buckets of self-care from the book Mama, You are EnoughHow to actually put small healthy habits into placeThe pressure we put on our habits to be perfect (ie. 100%) instead of good enoughSome of Heather's favorite healthy habits and self-care techniques and faves from her clientsLow-pressure ways to look at self-careHow you can start if you are really far from the healthy habits you want to buildThe enemy of the “perfect plan”Allowing yourself to focus on what you would actually enjoyFor the show notes and all the links mentioned in today's episode, head to secretsofsupermom.com/93.Stay connected!www.secretsofsupermom.comSecrets of Supermom on FacebookSecrets of Supermom on Instagram

We all have the aspirations of raising the perfect child but how about the perfect pet? As parents of children, we have a natural head start in achieving this goal since most (hopefully) kids don't pee on the carpet and chew on the furniture. (If you're kids do either or both of these things, however, please let us know so we can make note of that for a future show). Join the Moms for advice from expert dog trainer Mikkel Becker on ways you can make the Mom/Pet relationship a happy one.

Wow, Mother's Day stirs up so many emotions, doesn't it? It's supposed to be all about honoring moms. It also shines a light on our shortcomings as a mom, though.   We have hopeful expectations that may or not be met.   I am NOT a perfect mom but I have learned many things from having kids. I have these take aways from being a mom for 18 years: 1. Smile at your kids.  2.Your kids belong to God.  They are yours on loan.  It takes the pressure off and it also is a huge blessing of responsibility 3. It goes so fast.   4. Speak life giving words to your kids.  Tell them what you see in them.  5. Model self care to your kids. Movement, eating Whole Foods,  6. Balance love and discipline.  Say what you mean and mean what you say. Teach them to confess their sin.  Teach them to ask for forgiveness.  Teach them to forgive.  This is how they learn God's love and forgiveness. 7. It's their life! 8. Show your kids your marriage comes first.  9.

Dirty laundry, time outs, homework and broken curfews are not what you dreamed motherhood we be about.

What does it mean for busy Christian moms to be heart happy in the Lord?   Today on the show I am talking with Mom of 10, Best Selling Author and host of the Walk It Out podcast, Tricia Goyer   Tricia is all too familiar with the busyness of spinning all the plates of motherhood, ministry and marriage and today she is sharing what the Lord has taught her and all about her new book, Heart Happy: Staying Centered in God's Love During Chaotic Circumstances.   In this episode, Tricia and I discuss:   How to combat the comparison trap How to have realistic expectations without wearing ourselves out How to make time with God priority and not just one more thing on our to-do list The Biblical translation of “happy” How to rest even in the busiest of seasons And more! Connect with Tricia on Facebook, Instagram and at triciagoyer.com  To grab a copy of Tricia's latest book, Heart Happy: Staying Centered in God's Love During Chaotic Circumstances If you'd like to hear more from Tricia, tune in to the Walk It Out podcast Connect with Somer on Facebook and Instagram Receive weekly updates and resources from Somer's Ahavah Community HERE!   FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS: It's not what I do, it's not what I can accomplish, it's not what my kids can accomplish, it really is remembering to go back to that hole in our heart right from the beginning of time and ask: show me who I am in you   Where can we combat all this “not enough?” God's Word!   God created us unique in our own purposes and plans and we can excel in those without having to compare ourselves to others   These are my strengths, I am not going to compare. I'm gonna thank God for them and the areas I'm weak, I can come alongside a friend and she can help me and I can help her and that changes everything.    George Mueller: “I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished…I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.”   God loves me completely, He is there and I am not alone. Once my heart is happy in Him, all the problems run off my back because I know God has got this.   The God of the universe is waiting to commune with me, the presence of God is there waiting for me.    The best thing we can do for our kids is model what it looks like to walk with God and prioritize Him first   We have to trust that the unseen things are the most important.    So many times we put priority on things that don't need to be priorities   Five years from now, what is going to matter?   When chaos comes, we can discover God in new ways we never have before   That's part of God's love when we let His love come through us and bless others   Rest can look completely different for each of us   Look back at the things that brought you joy as child, these are probably things that can bring you rest now   Take time to do those things that feed your soul   Happy is translated blessed - blessed is actually a verb that means “walking straight”   Get our heart happy in the Lord in the middle of it all   Psalm 139:23   Search our hearts to see what is keeping us from God   Me: I need to make you love me, I need to make you love me God: I already love you!
