Seasons of Motherhood Freddie Borland

In this video, I talk about the challenges of parenthood and the importance of shifting from a victim mentality to a mindset of empowerment. Often, we parents get caught up in negative thinking, seeing our difficult situations as insurmountable. However, by changing our perspective and believing in our strength and resilience, we can transform these challenges into enjoyable experiences. I share a personal story of a busy day that could have felt overwhelming but turned into a fun and productive day by involving my son in tasks and making them exciting for him. I hope this story inspires you to approach your parenting challenges with a mindset of confidence and success.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the importance of embracing the present moment and enjoying each stage of life. As I watch my children play at the beach, I reflect on how quickly these phases pass and the need to be present and soak in each moment. Whether it's watching my daughter experience sand for the first time or my son's excitement at the beach, I emphasize the value of being present in our current situations, whether personal or professional, and making the most of them before moving on to the next phase.

In this video, I’m sharing my journey on becoming better at making plans and having backup plans, especially as a parent. I used to just go with the flow for days out, but now meticulous planning is essential. I’ll recount an experience with my son at the vet, where he expected a lollipop every time. This taught me the necessity of preparation. This week, I’m planning a beach day, considering every detail from parking to food due to dietary needs. I decided to hire a beach hut to ensure a smooth, enjoyable day, illustrating the value of having well-thought-out plans and backup options. I’d love to hear your experiences and tips about planning and dealing with unexpected situations.

Join me as I explore whether I'm truly providing my children with the best opportunities for success. In this video, I delve into the key components necessary for nurturing and supporting their growth, education, and overall well-being.

In this video, I share a personal story about realizing the importance of questioning our daily activities and goals. After facing challenges at my family allotment, I decided it was time to let it go to focus on what truly matters. I encourage viewers to ask themselves three critical questions: What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Where is it taking you? Reflecting on these can help determine if certain activities are beneficial or if they need to be let go to create more space and happiness in life.
