No one told me… I had no idea how much mental space motherhood would require. I didn’t know that my brain would learn to run endless concurrent lists of tasks and to dos and important data, all day, everyday. There have been days that I thought my brain would explode from all the keeping track of things. All the remembering of things. All the planning of things. All the noting and filing away of things. It never ends. It’s exhausting. But there are ways to better manage it. There are ways to protect your mental space - especially from the invasion of details, content, and drama that you don’t need, that sucks your precious mental space and mental energy when you let them in. Listen in to learn 6 ways to create more (super precious) mental space in motherhood.

When you are “in alignment” your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all supportive of each other. You feel a sense of ease knowing there is congruence between your heads, hearts, and actions. Alignment feels good - and powerful. Alignment allows us to feel stable and confident and even eager about our days, in spite of the daily hiccups that inevitably get thrown our way. When we are out of alignment, things feel quite different. We feel uneasy. We struggle in our relationships. We feel lost and unsure of our own sense of self and even our own self-worth. We tend to get sick more. We feel foggy and uninspired. We succumb to numbing behaviors like more alcohol, more sugar, more mindless social media scrolling, more TV binging. Being out of alignment does not feel good. It feels disempowering, sometimes even crippling. I want you to kick off this year with a conscientiousness around how congruent your thoughts, feelings, and motions are with your actions. Listen in to learn if you’re in alignment and how to get in alignment/stay in alignment in 2020!

Before you get too excited about kicking off a new year and a new decade, I’m going to invite you to release a few things from this year and this decade that are no longer serving you. While I don’t want to speak for you, I think many (maybe most) mamas could benefit from releasing these three things in particular: Procrastination & Perfectionism (they are sisters, btw) Other People’s Expectations The Lie: Everyone Else Has It All Figured Out If you want to make space for things that delight you and fill you up, you gotta release the things that are keeping you stuck and filling you with dread. If you want to make space for growth, you must see where your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors are keeping you small. So… let’s release all this ish together, shall we?!? Tune in to learn why these 3 releases are particularly important.

Every year since launching The Shameless Mom Academy podcast, moms have asked me about how to manage families and boundaries around the holidays. So, every year I talk about it. Because I don’t believe you should compromise your joy to meet someone else’s needs. I want you to own your holidays. Own your peace. Own your joy. Own the magic. Own the boundaries. Own your disregard for others' expectations of you. That last part might sound harsh, insensitive, even downright selfish. And maybe it is. And maybe that’s ok! It is not your job to manage the expectations of 4 sets of grandparents, 7 aunts, 3 uncles, 37 cousins, 4 step-siblings, a half-sister and a partridge in a pear tree. IT’S NOT. Your job is to meet the needs of your immediate family unit - to create joy and magic and meaningful traditions for these most intimate relationships with the few people you adore more than anyone else in the world. It might be possible to do this and meet the needs of some extended family. And it might not. And that’s ok. If you have any dread over the upcoming holiday season, this ep is for you. Tune in to learn how to prioritize all the right things (your joy and peace!) and how to set boundaries around all the noise (even if you love the heck out of those noisy folks!)

It is no secret that the people you spend the most time with will rub off on you. This begs the question - are you spending time with the right people? Are you investing in relationships with people who inspire you, push you, hold you accountable, cheer for you? Are you investing in relationships with people who have similar core values, who want to do good for the greater good, who want to elevate others as they climb, who want to elevate those who have less privilege? Are you investing in relationships with people who are doing big things, scary things, great things - the things you want to do? The relationships you invest in will determine your path, your growth, and your joy. And in many cases, they will clear the path for you, expediting your growth, bringing you joy you never thought possible. Listen in to hear why you must get yourself in the room with like-minded mamas and my secret growth formula that makes the relationships you build in these rooms invaluable to your growth.

You can’t afford to be indifferent. You can’t afford to not care or have an opinion. When you let others have all the opinions and all the loud voices, you also let them have all the power. When you let others play big while you stay small, you risk losing or never even acquiring what is rightfully yours. When you don’t create space to own and honor your truths you miss opportunities to share your strengths, gifts, and talents with the world - massively limiting your impact and your legacy. When we as women don’t show ALL THE WAY UP we pay the ultimate price - perpetuating sexism and gender inequality on a global level. You might think I’m sounding a little dramatic here. A little “extra”, as the kids would say. I’m going big with this statement and my beliefs around this because I’m not willing to passively perpetuate gender inequality and I’m not interested in growing a community of passive women who want to stay cozy and comfy with the status quo. I’m here for you - and for your power, your gifts, your opinions, your stories, and the legacy you’re building. I’m here to see you get the promotion, get the raise, get a seat at the board room table and rock the mic on the biggest stages. So, let’s go be a little extra together, shall we?

Let’s get back to what serves us as women, as leaders, as the CEOs of our lives.

Last week I called out Beyonce in a social media post. A lot of really interesting lessons and insights came from the ensuing comments and conversation. I thought it was worth dedicating an entire episode to the results of that one social media post because it brought to light: The difference between shaming someone and holding them accountable How you can simultaneously be a victim and a perpetrator of diet culture Why thin women need to protect and elevate plus size women Why women should be hypersensitive to body shaming and how being dismissive of sizeism compromises women’s power on a global level How you can appreciate and find tremendous value in someone’s work and leadership while not agreeing with everything they say and stand for Thank you to our sponsors: BarkBox: Get a FREE EXTRA MONTH of Barkbox with any 6 or 12-month subscription by visiting BarkBox.

There is a huge difference between dreaming and doing. Yet, sometimes we confuse the two. Dreaming lives in your head and your heart. Dreaming doesn’t have a plan. Dreaming is passive. Dreaming doesn’t have a start date. Dreaming doesn’t keep you accountable. Dreaming is not an accomplishment. Dreaming is picture perfect and linear, a series of perfect steps that take you to a perfect destination. Dreaming is future-oriented. It’s about later… when you have time when the kids are older when the circumstances are juuuuust so. Dreaming is outcome focused. Dreaming feels indulgent and delightful, like something you might not even be worthy of. In contrast… Doing is your dream in action. Doing is a plan. Doing has a start date, as well as an end date. Doing keeps you accountable. Doing is an accomplishment. Doing is not linear, its a series of highs and lows and lefts and rights and a few wrong turns that take you to a beautifully imperfect place that you’re ridiculously proud of. Doing is action oriented. Doing is present-oriented, not future-oriented. Doing is step focused - not outcome focused - where you’re always considering, “what is my next right step?” Doing feels scary, exciting, nerve-wracking, determined, and disciplined. Dreaming definitely serves a purpose. It provides: Hope Vision Clarity Joy Escape Doing serves a transformative experience: Sense of pride Sense of momentum Sense of accomplishment Increased self-worth New/evolved sense of identity At the crux of dreaming vs doing is a lot of decision making. I would argue that decisiveness is the biggest struggle of doing. Making decisions toward your dreams (the doing) can be crippling. But for the doing to take place, the decisions must be made. You must become a DECISION MAKER AND AN ACTION TAKER. It is the only path to your dreams. Listen in to hear how to learn how to become a better decision maker and action taker - in order to be a DOER who realizes all her dreams.

This is going to sound pretty controversial, but I’m saying it anyway. Because of #truth... Mom guilt is a lie. That’s not to say your feelings of guilt aren’t real. THEY ARE. But, as you sit in those feelings, please know this: Mom guilt is a social construct in which women are indoctrinated to think they should feel bad for ever prioritizing themselves, their identity, their careers, or their happiness over their kids. You know how I know this is true?? Because I know the following: Men are not asked, “How do you do it all? How do you juggle your career with your family? Men are not asked, “Don’t you feel bad when you have to travel for work and you don’t get to see your kids for 3 days?” Men don’t have to internalize messages like, “I don’t know how you work so much. I would feel so bad not being at my kid’s games/practices/plays/recitals.” When men consider taking up new hobbies/activities they don’t automatically think, “That would be awesome, but I would feel so bad taking that time away from my family.” Women are indoctrinated to feel like shitty moms if they prioritize their careers, their self-care, their sanity over their families needs. Men are encouraged to prioritize their careers and hobbies over their families needs - “Climb that corporate ladder!” “You gotta start golfing with us, man!” “Meet us every Saturday for pick up basketball!” I share this all because I want you to take a hard look at your relationship with mom guilt. Guilt of any kind is not productive. It keeps us stuck. It holds us back. It does not serve any positive purpose. So, it you’re spending time stuck in mom guilt, you’re wasting time and energy that could be used for so many other positive things in your life. Let’s flip this social construct on its head so we can all be more intentional about how we use our energy, our gifts, and our rights to rest (yes, you get to rest more when you stop feeling so damn guilty!) Listen in to this episode to go on a deep dive into how you’ve been indoctrinated - and how to GET OUT.

Today we are celebrating 3 years of The Shameless Mom Academy. I launched this show three years ago not knowing up much I would love it, not knowing how much it would change my life, not knowing how many lives it would touch. The last 3 years have been a blur and a dream - and the best part is that we are only getting started. The growth of this podcast stems directly from you all implementing what you learn on the show. You consistently turn the advice into action. You are open to learning and growing and expecting more out of your life, your marriage, motherhood, and your career. You show up and take imperfect action and get vulnerable and ask for help. I am SO HERE for all of this. 3 years, 319 episodes, 160 guests, 1.5 million downloads in 140 countries - and this is just the beginning. When I look back on all this, I can tell you the most valuable pieces have been the community, the connections, the impact and how that has stretched & expanded your identity and mine. Thank you for every single download, share, comment, like, DM, review, email. YOU make The Shameless Mom Academy the Shameless dream that could.

A few weeks ago I made a post on social media about magic and discomfort being soulmates. This is the straight up #truth, friends. Embrace it. The next morning I was listening to SuperSoul Conversations with Oprah and she 100% confirmed my theory (cause O and I are BFFs. Obviously.) On Oprah’s show, she was interviewing Steven Pressfield and they were talking about resistance - and that resistance MUST exist in all opportunities that provide growth, evolution, and magic. In fact, Steven said, “ Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the life unlived within us. Between the two stands Resistance.” WOW. YES. So much YES. I see so many Shameless Moms embracing the resistance to make big things happen. And it is MAGIC. It is powerful and profound, and life-altering. And I see Shameless Moms who feel the resistance and take it as a sign that something is not meant to be. Mama…. NO. I want you to lean into the resistance. See it. Embrace it. Own it. Walk through it. It will change you - in all the BEST ways. Listen in to hear me share the 3 phases of leaning into resistance that will allow you to walk through resistance, find your power and declare a magical VICTORY on the other side.

I have to laugh as I was recording this episode because I kept accidentally saying “the motherload” every time I went to say “the mental load of motherhood”. And let’s be honest. The mental load of motherhood is THE MOTHERLOAD. The Motherload (aka the mental load of motherhood) includes the 175 running lists you keep in your head in every single moment of #everydamnday. It includes: every school form you need to sign tonight how much creamer you have left in the fridge how many rolls of TP you have in the house when you need to call your mom what bills you need to pay by next Wednesday when the kids have their next day off school every single email you need to reply to today and which ones can wait until tomorrow what time the babysitter is coming on Friday which hotel you need to book for spring break which of your kid’s friends can’t have peanuts which of your kid’s friends you need to buy bday gifts for which socks your kid will NOT wear how many pairs of clean undies every single person in the household has left before you have to do laundry again what you’re having for dinner tonight and tomorrow and the next night and the next night and the next night and the next night which kid will eat crusts which kid will eat carrots which water bottle the kid will drink out of which water bottle the kid won’t drink out of You are a damn library of information. You are basically hosting your own world wide web in your head. It’s a lot. It’s too much. It’s maddening. And sometimes it feels SUPER unfair. The Motherload is exhausting on so many levels. I want to give you some hope. But I’m going to warn you that this will require some work on your part. But the work will be REWARDING. The work will lessen the load! When it comes to The Motherload, we tend to make it really hard on ourselves. We get in our own way over and over. We get stuck in perfectionism and martyrdom and make ourselves miserable.

We spend a lot of time in the SMA talking about the comparison as it relates to us as women. But we haven’t really dug into how we compare our kids to other kids. I’m noticing as Vinnie gets older that kiddie comparison is A THING. I think some of the kiddie comparison trap stems from the same place as our own comparison trap: our own insecurities, poor self-worth, self-doubt as women and moms - and maybe some guilt, too?? In this episode, I dig into 5 ways to look at your child’s strengths, struggles, and phases a little differently. I share ways to focus on the power of perseverance, problem-solving, resourcefulness, and compassion over disparity, weaknesses, and fitting in. I also encourage you to work on YOU. If you’re comparing your child to other children, you might have some Shameless work to do on yourself. Let me know how this episode resonates with you and how you have seen kiddie comparison traps play out in your circles of moms.

Taryn Perry is a Shameless Mom of 4 and a 6 figure earner as a Beachbody coach. She became a Beachbody coach 10 years ago to prove the infomercials were a big fat lie and she lost 25 pounds and built a whole new career, replacing her 6 figure commercial real estate salary in just 3 years. Since then she has worked with multiple MLMs and in multiple fitness spaces as a Turbo Kick instructor, a CrossFit coach, a Boot Camp coach and a Core de Force instructor. She recently added nutrition credentials to resume as well. She never stops showing up for herself (at 4am) or her business, which has taken her to the top ranks of Beachbody and landed her on QVC with Tony Horton. I’ve known Taryn for years and I’ve watched her do more in her MLM than any other woman I know. Given how many moms I know test the network marketing waters, I had to ask Taryn to come on the show and share her secrets. Listen in to hear Taryn share: How she built her business on connection and relationships, not through sales The power of consistency How she manages the naysayers What her exact paychecks have looked like over the last 3 years Her secret sauce to making a magical career in a network marketing business Links Mentioned (go to shamelessmom.com and click on Ep 282 for clickable links): Taryn on Instagram Free Kitchen & Ab Makeover ebook Join Taryn’s Free Facebook Community: Momstrong Project Thank you to our sponsors: Kathie Lee Gifford book - The Gift That I Can Give You: Get 30% off Kathie Lee’s children’s book, The Gift That I Can Give You at Faith Gateway and enter the code SHAMELESS at checkout.

Who are you? Why do you exist? Why should people care? Amber Williams, founder and brand strategist at Punkyflair, helps brand builders answer these top-of-mind questions day in and day out. We discussed all of this and more on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About Amber Williams Amber Williams is a passionate brand strategist and the founder of brand storytelling agency Punkyflair. Amber is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs grow their business authentically through story. She spent 7 years in the corporate world crafting marketing strategies for mega brands like Armani Exchange, Volkswagen, and The United States Olympic Committee, just to find out that the success of any brand is all about how well you can package up your purpose into a story that speaks to your audience. It’s just that simple. Amber feels to grow your business, you have to do this one thing: Start storytelling. Episode Highlights Stories vs. Brand Stories. Storytelling is a concept that gets tossed around a lot when it comes to brands. But what does it mean? How is a story different from a brand story? Amber broke it down simply: a brand story has an economic outcome tied to it. What’s the formula for crafting stories? Amber calls her approach storycraft. “It’s a narrative approach based in psychology and customer insight. It starts with your star character — your customer. What role does the brand have? What’s the tone? And it ends with your brand promise.” The four questions all brand stories should answer. (1) Why do you exist? (2) What do you offer and for whom? Get specific here! (3) What do you believe? (4) What’s the moral of your story? Again, your brand promise. The key to brand storytelling success. “Be consistent. Your story informs all of your touchpoints. You have to ask, ‘Is this on story for us?'” What brand has made Amber smile recently? Amber shared the brand promise from bra and underwear company, ThirdLove — To each her own. This promise is the first thing you see when you arrive at their website. To learn more, check out the Punkyflair website. As We Wrap … Did you hear something you liked on this episode or another?

Last week I tore my heart out and left in a kindergarten classroom in the pocket of my sweet Vinnie. It was a journey to get to that day, and just when I thought I had won the day by not having a monumental meltdown, Vinnie had a monumental meltdown on the way home from school and I was reminded that my work here will never be done. Which is a relief in this time of transition… Even if you aren’t like me and didn’t have to tear your heart out and leave it in a kindergarten classroom last week, this is likely a season of transition for you. Aside from tearing my heart out last week, I love transitioning between seasons. I try to be really intentional about what I’m gearing up for, what I want to get out of it, and how I want to grow during each and every season. I know there will always be bumps. Nothing will ever go completely according to plan. But growth will occur. And on the other side of that growth is amazing things I can’t even imagine yet…. It’s a constant pursuit of imperfect perfection and magic, right?!? If you’re wondering how you can embrace the transition into fall and how you can reset & reframe your mindset so you can really OWN the heck out of the rest of 2018, this episode is for you! Listen in to hear me share some powerful mindset resets that will light up your fall!

“Hi! I'm a devout listener of your podcast, and really appreciate everything you do to make that possible! I've gained a lot of emotional intelligence and lost a lot of guilt over small things! I'm a 24-year working mama in school with 2 little ones, and on Thursday I'm getting a breast augmentation and lift!!! I'm extremely excited but have not told anyone I work with or really anyone except my 3 closest people. I decided to go through with this and not let fear of other's judgment affect my decisions! However, I'm still nervous people (especially my in-laws) are going to think I'm "loaded" even though I have always been excellent at budgeting and finances, and work for everything I have. I'm really hoping you can give me some advice on 2 things. Is it a good idea or is it even possible to keep this private? 2. How do I deal with people's responses if they do find out? I've already come up with a few "mantras" for myself: "You are not a bad mother for getting this done", "You are not robbing money that could have been better spent on your children", "My husband supports this decision, and I am not wasting our money". But I just do not want to deal with the consequences of everyone knowing and having negative reactions. Thanks again for producing amazing content, that literally changes peoples’ lives!” I had sooooo much to say about this (of course!) Listen in to hear my reply.

Using the skills she recently learned in a self-defense workshop offered at her workplace, she fought back against a transient sex offender who attacked her in a park bathroom, trapping him inside until police arrived. Her Instagram post showing the frantic GPS lines tracking the violent encounter went viral, inspiring women around the world to fight back - whether it be against assault or even against someone who is underestimating them. Kelly has been featured by Women’s Running Magazine among the 21 Women Transforming the World through Running, has partnered with Runner’s World Magazine to support survivors through merchandise sales, and has been a tv guest on shows such as Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and The Doctors. She has used her story to raise thousands of dollars to support survivors and raise awareness about personal safety and self-defense. This interview will give you goosebumps and tears as you listen to Kelly very eloquently share her story. It will also give you a tremendous about of hope that trauma doesn’t need to define you, and it can even make you better. What you do with trauma is up to you. You have the power to make it something can change your trajectory for the better like Kelly did because only YOU can write the ending to your story.

Today’s episode was inspired by a couple lessons I learned after getting some not-so-nice feedback about the podcast last week. Receiving other’s feedback is always an opportunity for reflection. Then comes action. Decide what to do with this new information. Is it valuable feedback? Is it garbage? Is it a little of both? The feedback I received was a little bit of both. But it provided me with a two really valuable lessons that I’m passing along to you: You MUST have an outlet you truly enjoy and you must prioritize that outlet in your life. Listen in and I’ll give you bunch of ideas. You are always building things – in multiple areas of your life. You must take radical responsibility for what you are building and how you can constantly seek growth and evolution. Listen in for specific examples. Let me know what you think about this episode. I would love your feedback.
