1M ago49:54

49:54

As a mom, we're the thermostat for our family - how we show up and respond to each situation directly influences the way our family does as well. Motherhood can feel so heavy, and even more so when we're sleep deprived, burnt out, and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. My guest on today's podcast interview, Mica Deshaw, is a brilliant pe…

5 Things Teachers Want You to Know Heading Into Summer Break with Mrs. Ashley L'Hote 30:49

2M ago30:49

30:49

Can we all agree teachers don't get enough credit, compensation, or respect for the work they do, molding the minds of our children day in and day out? Because I know for a fact that majority of us wouldn't last a week in their role! Our teachers are incredible and many, if not most, pour their heart and souls into what they do. They practice extre…

Pep Talk: What She Doesn't Show 15:52

2M ago15:52

15:52

How often do we make a post on social media, showing off some cherished family photos or bragging on a child's accomplishments, only to revisit the post a handful of times or more to see how many likes or comments it received? Social media has conditioned us to be a "gold star" society and now we're addicted to sharing details of our lives that oth…

15:43

We're often our own harshest critics in motherhood. In this episode, I challenge your perspective and give you 3 action steps to help overcome those moments in motherhood when we feel like we're failing. We have to learn to start speaking to ourselves the way we would to a friend when she shares her struggles. Because as moms, we juggle so many thi…

Pep Talk: Survival Mode 16:28

3M ago16:28

16:28

We all know it. We've all lived it at some point in time. That flailing your arms, gasping for air, head bobbing above and below the surface feeling...survival mode. It's not fun and it's extremely discouraging to feel as a mom. Am I really strong enough for this? Will I ever get through this? Why do other moms make it look so easy? The reality is,…

Pep Talk: It's Going to Be Okay, Really 15:18

3M ago15:18

15:18

As moms, we're so afraid to drop a ball or disappoint others. There's no doubt we're an integral component in our family's dynamic, but is everything really going to come crashing down around us if we let something fall to the wayside? Probably not. We're going to step into some humility today because the immense amount of pressure we put on oursel…

Pep Talk: No. 13:56

3M ago13:56

13:56

We no longer have the same 24 hours we did before we were moms, so there's one thing we all must get VERY good at: the word "no." Every decision we make is either a deposit or a withdrawal from our "bank account" of time, energy, emotion, patience, etc. And every time we say "yes" to something, we say "no" to something else...often ourselves. We're…

Pep Talk - Breaking Generational Curses 15:55

4M ago15:55

15:55

We can all agree that we want our children to turn out better than us, right? I think that's one of the few things we can definitely all agree on as moms actually! And for good reason. Sometimes this requires breaking some generational curses that our family has passed down over and over. But in order to do this, we have to work on ourselves first.…

Pep Talk: No Room for Doubt 16:44

4M ago16:44

16:44

We all doubt ourselves sometimes. It doesn't help that in motherhood in this day and age, all of the opinions circulate like a merry-go-round in our heads. But motherhood wasn't designed with room for doubt. Moms were designed with "mama bear" type instincts, the ability to interpret and protect our children like no one else can. Our presence was d…

Learn to Laugh Yourself through Motherhood with Stand-Up Comedian Alyce Chan 38:29

4M ago38:29

38:29

"I have to laugh or else I might cry." Have you ever felt this way in motherhood? Because I sure have! That time our son threw a tantrum that was (no joke) 2 hours long, or when our daughter has us operating on 1-2 hours of sleep a night, or how about that time the Roomba dragged dog poop through my house (MORTIFYING). Look, we've all had those mom…

Pep Talk: The Mom Bod 17:07

4M ago17:07

17:07

With warmer weather approaching, lots of moms start to worry about getting our summer body ready for shorts, tank tops, and swimsuit season. We start to get self-conscious about how we've "bounced back" from the season of motherhood we're in, or whether or not we hit our goal weight on the scale. While I'm a total advocate for prioritizing your hea…

Pep Talk: Be the Change 13:04

5M ago13:04

13:04

Each morning, my son goes off to school and I tell him: "Listen to your teachers. Be nice to your friends. Be a kind boy." I think a lot of us say these types of motherly things. We want our children to grow up to be good humans. We want to do a good job with them. There's a saying I love - "Be the change you want to see in the world, but I think i…

"You Were Perfectly Designed for This" - An Episode on Resiliency and Motherhood with Taylor Frazier 1:00:39

5M ago1:00:39

1:00:39

Motherhood teaches you just how strong and resilient you are. It reveals a version of you that you might not have even known existed. It reveals this woman that was perfectly designed to raise, mold, and protect her children. And this strength, this resilience, is often developed through all of the life experiences that come before pregnancy and mo…

Pep Talk - That Lonely Middle of the Night Feeling 17:58

5M ago17:58

17:58

"I'll never sleep again" Have you ever felt this way? Well if so, you're certainly not alone. As moms, we hear all of the things - to "sleep when the baby sleeps," or "just let them cry it out," or "chug some caffeine - you're fine!" Easier said than done when you're not the one up all hours of the night, seeing each hour on the clock. Moms lose sl…

An Episode For the Moms Who Pee Their Pants When They Sneeze, featuring Pelvic Health Physical Therapist, Kelly Yamnitz 50:54

5M ago50:54

50:54

The theme of today's podcast: just because it's COMMON doesn't mean it's NORMAL. All too often, I hear moms talk about how they have specific symptoms or conditions after having children that they accept as "normal" just because lots of other women experience them, too. That's simply not the case. Today I have pelvic health physical therapist, Kell…

Pep Talk: Free to Change 14:36

5M ago14:36

14:36

Today's episode is about the freedom we have as moms to change our minds sometimes. If we're constantly striving to grow, evolve, and challenge ourselves, then change is inevitable. We shouldn't shy away from it. Hardly any of us are the exact type of mom we thought we would be, myself included. We can probably think back to conversations we had be…

Pep Talk: Toxic Positivity is a Lie 17:00

5M ago17:00

17:00

We've painted this picture in the motherhood space that "toxic positivity" is this awful, ugly thing that should be our enemy. It has conditioned us to resent a positive mindset, to resist growth, and to disregard other perspectives. I want to challenge you with a new way of viewing this with today's episode. You see, I believe the real problem, th…

How often have you thought to yourself, "my children behave worse for me than they do for anyone else!" throughout your motherhood journey? You're certainly not alone. It can feel so frustrating to feel like we get the worst of our children sometimes. It leaves us low on patience and often leads to raising our voice, bargaining with the kids, and f…

Pep Talk: Payday for Overtime Hours 19:25

6M ago19:25

19:25

To help us kick off Season 2 of the Moms Working Overtime Podcast in 2024, I thought it was time to go back to our roots and talk about "overtime" hours. Mom culture can be so toxic to our mindset. It seems to either glamorize motherhood, making it appear clean and pretty and always picture perfect, or it capitalizes on the hard parts of motherhood…

So many people believe the postpartum experience is all sunshine and rainbows. I mean, how could it not be? You just welcomed your perfect, wonderful little bundle of joy into the world!

The motherhood space can be so tough sometimes. We're not very great at admitting our moments of weakness and getting vulnerable with other moms.

There's no definition for "what a good mom does at Christmas." I think we all need to hear this.

1:13:37

Facing the ugly of today's world when it comes to things like child sex abuse can make us feel uncomfortable, or unsettled, as moms. Often, it can make us fearful or cultivate feelings of denial.

Why do we, as moms, feel like we need permission to chase dreams outside of our motherhood roles? Mama, you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Cheesy? Maybe. But true. The reason we often think our dreams aren't possible is because they take longer to come to life than we expect. So we settle. And try to convince ourselves that we should just be…
