I really believe that vulnerability creates connection...~ Doña Bumgarner Are you a mom and feel like a part of you is missing? That you're going through the motions and things look good but it all feels a bit empty? Then this episode is for you and I chose it SPECIFICALLY for my 50th birthday because I've been there and Doña Bumgarner has too. With so much love in our hearts for you... You can't quit motherhood (well - you technically can but that's not what we're going to focus on here) so when Doña found herself unexpectedly pregnant and with no clue what the hell she was doing...she trusted her gut and looked back on life realizing she'd been able to figure things out thus far so what's one more (admittedly HUGE) thing? Listen in as Doña and I talk about how hard (and rewarding!) it can be to be a mom in a culture that doesn't really support mothers...not really if we're being honest AND why it's so so SO important not to lose yourself along the way. Remember...our kids are watching! ARE YOU READY TO GO THERE? ____ Doña Bumgarner is a life coach for frustrated moms who are exhausted living in a culture that doesn’t support them as moms or as women. She helps them get in control of all the parts of their lives, so they can feel like great moms AND whole humans.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along with our #onekindsummer campaign. I am excited to start up our interviews again! With the spirit of self-compassion in mind, today we’re focused on the art of nurturing ourselves. Doña Bumgarner and I talk about her unusual childhood, her winding path to motherhood, and how she recreated her life after nine months of cancer treatment. It was a joy to talk with her. Doña is a coach who works with women who know that there is much more to life than their kids - but they’ve lost themselves in the role of motherhood. She helps them make sense of their lives and learn to stand up for themselves and the lives they want to create. You can find her at Nurtured Mama, where she blogs and has a podcast called The Nurturing Habit. You can find the show notes at www.fortiesstories.com. This project is a labor of love for me, so if you are enjoying it, I would be grateful if you would not only rate and review it on Apple Podcasts, but also share it with a friend. I love hearing from people I know say they’ve listened to the podcast and how they’ve connected with an episode. It gets us into a conversation about how life is really going that wasn’t always happening before. I treasure that, so send an episode that resonated with you to a friend with a note. You might just spark something. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next Tuesday!
In this week’s episode of Nurturing Habit, I talked with Caryn Gillen. Caryn is a weight loss coach for powerhouse women who are ready to end the struggle with food and their weight. But why I really invited her to talk with me for this series on self care is because what she teaches about so much MORE than food and weight. It is about how you can transform yourself into the person you want to be, and let the changes that feel so hard just happen naturally. In this episode, you’ll hear: How you can learn to support yourself growing and changing with the same skills that you use to parent your growing children. How to live in contentment with where you are right now. How building an intimate relationship between you and your body can change your relationship with food. Why losing weight - or making any big change - isn’t as easy as just deciding to do it. How asking yourself better questions allows your creative mind an opportunity to solve hard problems for you. A peek into how Caryn structures her business around life with her 3 year old. Why paying attention when you feel jealous can be really valuable.

This week I’m so excited to have Doña Bumgarner on the show as part of the Friendpreneur Series. This series highlights conversations I have with friends, who are also entrepreneurs, and we dish the behind the scenes realities of starting a business, and what it looks like in real life. Doña Bumgarner is the powerhouse behind the “Nurtured Mama” blog, the voice of the “Nurturing Habit” podcast, and an amazing coach. Doña is a dear friend who I met through coaching. She and I share so much in common - we are both project managers, both coaches, both podcasters, and both moms to first graders. I really loved getting to talk to her about her journey and where she’s at. We also talk about her experience in my “Jump Start Your Podcast” class, which is where she got her start for her show, which is in its second season. Why you need to listen: There’s a lot of becoming an entrepreneur that’s about highlighting your strengths, and leaning in to what you already know and what you’re an expert at. The thing is, there’s a lot of “noise” out there that will tell you there’s a certain way to do things. A certain way to market yourself, a way to be a coach, what a coaching practice looks like, and what it means to be big or to have “made it.” There’s so much noise, in fact, that it can be easy to second guess what you know. Or to make busy work for oneself trying to fit that mold. Even when you KNOW marketing, you KNOW how to run a project, and you are a darn good SME “subject matter expert” in many fields. The doubt or the noise or both will throw you for a loop and make you think maybe there’s a different or better way than the one you’d naturally follow. Here’s why you need to listen to this episode Dona’s doing a couple of things that are very different than what all that noise might want you to do. First, she’s looking at ways to layer in her project manager background with her coach training, and creating something brand new with the marriage of these two specialities. Second, she’s actively working on creating structure in her day to mindfully do LESS with her time. You read that right. She’s using time management and prioritization to make room to do less, and to ditch the busy work. This allows her the space to breathe, to be, to spend time with family. The project manager in me really loves this, both that she’s leveraging what she knows and is so good at (creating structure in chaos, a la project management) and creating something new with it with her more recently acquired skill set, putting a “why” behind the structure. She’s focusing on structure to leave more room for the other things that matter in her life. In this episode, Doña Bumgarner and I talk about: Her journey to becoming a coach Her experience with having breast cancer and being a survivor How society places worth on women being able to “do it all,” and how judgements (internal and external) arise when doing it all is not sustainable (and it never is) Time Management, and how it’s generally the pursuit of getting it all done (but doesn’t need to be) Doña’s goal of teaching productivity so people can focus on doing less (instead of more) Who Doña loves to work with in coaching, and how getting unstuck makes all the difference Podcasting! And her approach to seasons; doing one season on grief and the next on self care Dona’s approach to maintaining a podcast, by doing bi-weekly episodes and setting a time limit on how much time she spends on each episode Healing emotional scars of the past The crossroads of productivity and self care Her 3 thoughts on jump starting your joy: look to the past for clues on where you are headed in the future, allow the shift to happen, get help if you need it to process change, and create structure to make space for the things you want to do Resources Nurturing Habit: Doña Bumgarner’s Podcast Website Nurtured Mama: Doña Bumgarner’s Coaching Website and Blog Overwhelmed by Brigitte Schulte on Amazon Get to Work Book by Elise Blaha
When we are in transition - after a baby, during or after a move - it can feel impossible to find your balance, let alone find space to make good decisions around self care. Eat well? Sleep enough? Even get a shower? Crazy! But also necessary. This week on Nurturing Habit, I talk with Mara Glatzel, an intuitive coach and mama, about how we tend to ourselves through big transitions. We talked about the transition to motherhood, moving, and the difficult but necessary practice of being gentle with yourself.

To kick off Season 2 of the Nurturing Habit podcast, I'm talking with Sarah Silvas, a life coach, yoga and Qoya teacher. In this episode, we talk about what self care is (and is not), how being deeply connected to our bodies is a root of wisdom, and we talk about our shared story of loving dance as children, quitting it, and then finding it again as adults.

Episode 5 in this series about how we nurture ourselves in grief is a conversation with Andrea Scher. Andrea is the creator of Superhero Life, a hub for learning how to "use our voices, share our superpowers and live life in full color." She's a photographer, artist, life coach, mentor and a mama to two young boys. I have long admired Andrea for her openness and vulnerability in her online space and in person. She's real and fierce and curious and always looking for where the magic is. I asked Andrea to come on Nurturing Habit for this series on grief because she and her husband recently divorced, and I wanted to get her perspective on living through a personal grief while having such a public way of being in her work. What followed was so much more than that. It was a conversation where we discussed the stress that having a public persona can create, how hard it is to know how much to let our kids see when we are dealing with hard personal stuff, how completely normal it is to be messy sometimes, and how important it is to connect with others, especially when we are hurting. Read the rest of the show notes and get links to things we discussed at NurturingHabit.com/episode5
Nurturing Habit is a a bi-weekly show where we talk about all the ways to nurture yourself deeply. In this episode I introduce the season topic, grief, and why this is so important to talk about.
