I've done technology fasts in previous years when my life was more stable - when I was in the thriving stage or at least normalized. This year is different. I'm in full-blown survival mode, and it's making me see this practice in a whole new way. In this week's episode, I'm walking through a tech fast looks different depending on where you are on the five-step path: Survival Mode: When willpower isn't enough, your environment matters more than ever. I share what I'm learning during this season of being mostly in bed - from catching up on my kids' book recommendations to what happens when we move key tools closer to where we actually are. Re-entry: This step on the path pairs beautifully with a tech fast. Without digital distractions splitting your attention, that frantic re-entry energy calms down. You can focus on the next right thing with more peace and momentum. Normalizing: This is the perfect time to dig into your Thriving in Motherhood planner and set up your systems. With added mental bandwidth, you can actually execute your quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals. Exploring: This is the most fun phase during a technology fast. The world becomes your oyster - from playing an instrument to painting, to volunteering, to trying new things. After you spend time in exploration, you'll have rich data about what you love, and what you'll never do again. Thriving: This is where the real work begins. You've laid a foundation up to this point, and now you can get clear about your vision for your life. It's where you build unique systems that aren't just about home management but are tailored to the life you want to live - one that's truly fulfilling, rich, and beautiful. Imagine what you could do with those hours you reclaim from your technology. Whether you're in survival mode or any other stage, a tech fast can meet you exactly where you are. Want help getting started? You can find my Technology Fast Workbook HERE. And, if you're looking to create a life you love during 2025 check out the Create Your Vision Mini Course HERE. I'm looking forward to hearing what phase resonates most with you!

In Episode 207, Dr. Madsen joins Susan and Cynthia for a conversation about the link between religiosity and abuse, and the power disparity that fosters it. Even where the Church is strongest, the statistics are troubling, to say the least. How might our church and its members move from lip service to leading "the army to protect home, family, and children?”

Welcome back to the kitchen table. For Bethany, it often felt like her identities in faith and motherhood were pulling in opposite directions. She was trying to raise her kids well, deeply rooted in faith, but her role as a mom and her walk with Jesus felt like parallel tracks that never quite crossed.  Her heart hadn't fully understood the freedom that God offers—the freedom to step out from under the weight of perfectionism and into the light of his grace. She realized that her role as a mom wasn't separate from her identity in Christ. It was an outworking of it. The gospel wasn't just something to teach her kids—it was the foundation for her own life as a mother. Ephesians 2:8-10 became a lifeline, a reminder that her worth wasn't in her works but in God's grace. She began to see motherhood as an expression of the hope, vision, and joy that only Jesus can give. For Bethany, the transformation came when she stopped trying to separate her faith from her motherhood and embraced them as one. And in that integration, she found freedom, hope, and joy—not just for herself, but for her children as well.   Connect with Bethany here Follow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

All or nothing mentality Can destroy your reality. You think if you are not all in,  That you can never win. It's a poison that keeps you stuck, You begin to think that you suck. But don't fall for this mentality, Choose to create a new reality. It doesn't have to be all or nothing,  It's always better to do just something. Even if it is small,  It doesn't have to be your all.  Celebrate all of your small wins,  This is where your progress begins. You can create a new reality By getting rid of all or nothing mentality.  by: Joslyn Hillam  **Morning Sickness Mini Course for Mental Health (Formerly called the Positive Pregnancy Program)**: This self-led video program, made to help foster positivity durning pregnancy.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany is taking us back to the basics today, and it all starts with one simple but powerful truth: identity. Who does God want me to be? Who does He say I am? These aren't just questions to consider—they're the foundation of everything.  Jesus gave us the answer in John 7:37-39. Knowing who we are in him changes everything. When we know our identity in Christ, we stop striving and start living. So let's pause, take a breath, and get back to the basics. It all begins here.   Connect with Bethany here Follow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

Are you happy with all of your accomplishments? Far too often, we find ourselves reflecting on everything we have done and have the nerve to think we haven't done enough. But let's get real, Mama's Den family, sometimes getting up in the morning IS the accomplishment. It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that we should be further than where we are right now OR that it's too late to accomplish all the things and dreams we've had. The Mamas share not only what they accomplished, but what they had hoped to have done at this point in their lives. Soon…..we will be back to talk about what we are proud of in 2025. We have enjoyed running back some of our favorite episodes with you. Get ready for a new episode next week!

I am so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robyn Youkilis. If you've been following along, you know we're diving into a series I've lovingly dubbed the "Mommy Olympics"—a reflection on the pressures of modern motherhood. Is it a race to win gold, or is it more of a team sport where we all win by showing up authentically?In this episode, I sit down with Robyn, a wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and intuitive guide who has been transforming lives for over 15 years. Robyn's approach to health, parenting, and self-love is a breath of fresh air in a world that often glorifies overextension and martyrdom.We dig deep into her journey from maiden to motherhood, her philosophy on “mothering without martyring,” and how she's rewritten the rules for herself, her kids, and her thriving business. Robyn's wisdom about embracing the seasons of life, setting boundaries, and staying true to yourself left me inspired and, frankly, ready to let go of some things I've been holding onto.This conversation is packed with relatable moments, actionable tips, and so much heart. Whether you're navigating the chaos of motherhood, building a business, or just trying to stay grounded, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and maybe even a little lighter. Key TakeawaysHonor Life's Seasons: Motherhood, work, and life all have cycles. Embrace where you are now instead of trying to do it all.Prioritize Yourself: Taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it helps everyone around you. Start with small, intentional “me time.”Simplify Meal Prep: Use pockets of time to prep basics like grains or veggies and focus on “good enough” meals rather than perfection.Let Things Go: If you haven't tackled a task in two weeks, delegate it or let it go—it's not worth the stress.Be Present: Even 20 minutes of undivided attention with your kids can create deep connection and joy.Use code MOMMYOLYMPICS to receive Robyn's Guided Grounding Meditation bundle for free!Connect with Robyn YoukilisWebsite: Yourhealthiestyou.com - Learn more about Robyn's programs and read her blogsRobynYoukilis.com – Explore her speaking events, and guided meditations.Social Media: Follow Robyn on Instagram @robynyoukilis for daily inspiration, recipes, and wellness tips.Books: Check out her bestsellers Go With Your Gut and Thin From Within.Mentioned in This EpisodePrograms: Hot Mama, Your Healthiest YouWellness Insights: The RIE Method, Ayurvedic approaches to seasonal eatingUpcoming Events: Robyn's speaking engagements and retreats—stay tuned on her website!

Do you ever look at a man you love and think “what on earth is going on inside your head?” More and more men are struggling to thrive in today’s hectic world, without saying a word about it - and if our partners are not thriving, then we are not thriving. So what can we do? Today we take a peek behind the male façade, with a vulnerable and at times hilarious conversation with Mamamia’s resident dad Thom Lion.

Amy Wilson, author of Happy to Help, joins us to discuss the complexities of people pleasing, her personal journey of overcoming it, and strategies for teaching teens to listen to their own voice and set healthy boundaries.If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Full Show NotesAs parents, we want to raise teens who are confident, grounded in their values, and capable of standing up for themselves—even when it's difficult. Yet in a world that often rewards people-pleasing behavior, teaching our teens to cultivate authenticity can be a tricky endeavor. From a young age, many individuals are socialized to put others' needs before their own, ignore their inner voice, and aim to please. The challenge for caregivers lies in guiding teenagers to embrace their own desires and make decisions based on their personal truths, even when faced with societal pressures to conform.This is the backdrop of today's discussion, as we delve into the nuances of people pleasing and the importance of empowering teens to connect with their inner voices. Our guest, Amy Wilson, an actor, writer, podcaster, and author of Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser, shares her journey from an eighth-grade people pleaser to a conscious parent teaching her children the value of self-advocacy. Amy brings a wealth of experience, not only from her own life but from hosting the podcast What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood.Throughout the episode, Amy emphasizes the role of parents in modeling boundary setting and advocating for personal wants and needs. She reflects on the importance of letting kids experience natural consequences and the discomfort of unmet expectations to encourage problem-solving skills and personal growth.The Consequences of Over-RemindingOne common struggle shared by parents is the habitual reminder—a seemingly well-intentioned effort to guide teens through their obligations can sometimes backfire. When reminders become incessant, teenagers may develop resistance or rely on their parents for motivation, detracting from their sense of responsibility and autonomy. Amy openly discusses her own struggles and how she has navigated this territory with her children, offering valuable insights on striking a balance between gentle guidance and fostering independence.Eighth Grade Diaries and Emotional IntensityAmy also takes us on a nostalgic journey through her eighth-grade diary entries, which she uses as a lens to explore adolescent self-awareness and emotional experiences. This segment highlights the significance of strong emotions and first-time experiences during young adolescence, encouraging parents to validate their teens' feelings while providing the perspective that comes with age and maturity.Tackling Perfectionism and Gender ExpectationsA notable theme in Amy's discussion is perfectionism, specifically the concept of socially prescribed perfectionism imposed by societal standards. This pressure is particularly pertinent to the expectations placed on women and girls, and Amy eloquently addresses how parents can combat these external pressures by reinforcing their teens' intrinsic worth and personal boundaries.As we explore these themes, Amy shares anecdotes from her experiences—both personal and as a parent—alongside actionable strategies for helping teenagers honor their authentic selves. In the Episode…Join the conversation as we uncover:The importance of providing teens with space to fail and learn from mistakes.How to identify and combat people-pleasing tendencies in yourself and your teens.Strategies for breaking the cycle of responding to social expectations.Ways to empower teens to articulate and pursue their true desires.Amy Wilson's episode is a deep dive into the realm of people pleasing and the crucial skills parents can foster to help teens lead authentic, self-assured lives.

In this episode, Jill and Linda explore how self-care can fit into the everyday, even when life feels overwhelming. From joyful family moments to recognizing when to slow down, they reflect on the little things that make a difference.In This Episode:How family playtime can unexpectedly refill your cup (even if it's just a game of laser tag).The hidden ways we practice self-care without even realizing it.Why small habits, like taking a walk or reading, matter more than spa days and retreats.Managing the weight of daily responsibilities without burning out.Letting go of the idea that self-care has to be structured or planned.Self-care doesn't always look like what we expect. Sometimes, it's as simple as recognizing the little wins in your day. Like sitting down for five quiet minutes or sharing a laugh with your kids.We would love to hear from you.

Send us a textOne of the most heard statements people post online, and that I get asked about a lot, is; Diastasis Recti is a lifelong condition that you will always need to manage.So in this episode I talk about why this is clearly ridiculous.Also; Postpartum backpain is very common but that doesn't mean it's inevitable or can't be resolved. So that's what we're talking about for the other half of the podcast.and, very briefly, why I don't think the type of diet you choose for weightloss matters that much and why I don't find it interesting. What works for you works for you.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles. So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

What advice does Thomas Aquinas have for the modern person, especially the modern parent? Have you ever felt that something might be missing in modern parenting trends, like gentle parenting? In today's episode, Father Gregory Pine introduces us to an ancient practice that has shaped children for centuries: virtue ethics. First explored by classical philosophers like Aristotle and later popularized in the Middle Ages by St. Thomas Aquinas, virtue ethics remains central to the Church's teachings on character formation. Father Pine, drawing from his deep knowledge of St. Thomas Aquinas, offers practical guidance for parents seeking to cultivate virtues like justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude in their children. Raising children to be happy and holy adults can feel daunting, but this episode is essential for empowering parents to nurture future saints. Additionally, Father Pine shares his personal journey—how he discovered his vocation and developed a passion for St. Thomas Aquinas' teachings. I hope this conversation inspires and equips you to approach parenting with a renewed perspective and practical tools.Check Out Fr Gregory's work:Aquinas 101: https://aquinas101.com/Godsplaining Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Godsplaining Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!
