Send us Fan MailDo It Backwards: A Gift to Your Future SelfIn this episode, I'm sharing a simple strategy that is already making my days feel lighter: do the things you're dreading first. Instead of leaving the kitchen cleanup, preparing vegetables for the kids, Duolingo, exercise, or dinner prep until later, I'm trying to get them done as early as possible—before my brain has a chance to complain.I talk about how doing things ahead of time can feel like giving a gift to your future self, and how my husband's meal-prep habits have inspired me to think differently about cooking for a big family. I also share an update about exploring hormone replacement therapy, what I've been learning about perimenopause, and why I'm more open to it now than I expected.Plus, I recap the end of our very busy summer: a beautiful hike in Canmore, sushi karaoke in Banff with my parents and kids, and a special visit from longtime friends. It was exhausting, joyful, and a reminder that staying connected to old friendships is absolutely worth the effort.So this week, try doing it backwards: pick the thing you're most likely to put off and do it first. Your future self will thank you. Support the show

Hey Mama,  Not only are leaves falling, but it seems like  our immune systems do as well this time of year. While many people blame fall-time illness on change of weather and allergies, which can certainly contribute, I am going to call out what most Americans experience this time of year: sugar toxicity. October kicks off a series of American celebrations with foods containing high amounts of sugar and those ingredients that act like sugars in our body. We overload our cell receptors with fake dyes and artificial sugars, aka fake food.  While we do our best to minimize sugars and processed foods in our home, we know that our kids will likely consume them outside of it. Join me today to learn simple mom hacks you can use this sugar toxicity season to counter the candy crash.

Send us a textInstead of my usual “Emotional Abuse Is Real” content this week, I have another special bonus episode for your listening pleasure. I'm back as a guest on Krista Dykes' “Secret Mom Hacks” podcast, and this time we are talking about one of my favorite topics: Self-care for moms (a quick note on that: You do NOT have to be a mom to indulge in any of the self-care suggestions I make on this episode. Everyone needs self-care.) Krista also allows me to share about my terrible experience with a postpartum doula when my daughter was born eight years ago. To be clear, I think postpartum doulas offer wonderful support to moms, but as you'll discover from listening to my cautionary tale, it's imperative that you do your research before hiring someone for this critical period after your child arrives. As always, I'm so grateful to Krista for letting me chat with her about these subjects, and I'm thrilled to now share it as a bonus on my own podcast feed. “Emotional Abuse Is Real” will return with brand-new guests next week on October 23.

Rubbing the inside of a pot with olive oil so it doesn't boil over, using a plate to flip a frittata, iron in a hem with a piece of tape, these were just some of the hacks that moms taught all of us while we were growing up. What other hacks actually work? Find out in the podcast!

I once thought I could have it all — run a business, be a supportive spouse, keep my kids with me 24/7 until they started preschool, and still (somehow) squeeze in enough self-care to help me remember who I was apart from all those roles. Ha! Needless to say, I was incredibly naive. For the first few years of becoming a mom, having already established the business, I thought I could work while the kids took a nap or played. I thought I didn't need to “waste time” on doing things for myself out of pure enjoyment and frivolity. I thought I could be a great wife, mom, and CEO all at the same time. It was a lofty goal and, as I eventually — begrudgingly — had to admit, it was not a realistic goal to have.In February 2023, I had reached a complete state of utter burnout after nearly four years of trying to do it all by myself, as though I were trying to earn a badge of honor for requesting and accepting the least amount of help possible. I was a natural at doing things the hard way, and I turned myself into a martyr. I kept a secret scoreboard of who was actually doing more around the house — me or my husband — and I felt the overwhelming desire to insert myself into every situation. I didn't know it then, but I was incredibly controlling. It almost cost me my marriage, and it certainly didn't make me a good mom or role model for my son and daughter.I knew there had to be a better way to live, but I didn't think I had the time or ability to slow down and figure it all out. How could I fix it when I wasn't sure what the problem was?“It shouldn't be this hard!” and “I have no time!” and “I'm just trying to help!” were a few things I constantly said to myself between moments of lucidity and chronic exhaustion. After all, I had (and still have) a tremendous number of blessings: My family, their health, my health, a beautiful home, a successful business. Complaining about anything sounded very pretentious and entitled, so I tried not to say much. I just became a quietly bitter, stressed-out human being. If you feel pulled in too many directions and if you constantly berate yourself for struggling so hard, or if you keep a personal scoreboard between you and your spouse (and frequently find them to be lacking) this episode is for you. The year 2023 was transformative for me, and I'm so excited to share with you what I learned in the hope that you will be able to avoid some stress and heartache.
