You create the rules in mom life, do you get that?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and I’ve come to realize that most of the time, we tuck ourselves in boxes of ways that we think we ‘should’ be.

And it’s time to shift.

Our lives are only created by chance when we allow what comes to come and don’t stand in our power to choose.

Your current reality was created by you through the choices you made and the actions you took.

And the most amazing thing is, because you created the reality you currently live in, you can also create the next reality you desire.

It’s only your beliefs that created the reality you are in and those can always be changed.

It’s YOUR TIME to create your life in a way that feels good for you.

It’s your time to get out of the box of ‘shoulds’ and start being intentional about the things you do.

It’s time for you to choose to take different action, maybe even one that feels a little uncomfy because that’s where the most growth happens → on the other side of discomfort.

And if your brain is asking you how I want you to think about this question…

If I was a woman + mom living the life I desired with EVERYTHING I’ve ever wanted, how would I show up today?

How would I think about life?

If there were no rules, what would I choose to do?

It’s time to bring that vision you have for your life into your life. 

This is what I love helping women do and you are NO exception to any rule because you get to CHOOSE your own!

This week’s Pep Talk is so dang good so go listen + please drop a review and let me know what you think!
 

The empowered mom knows who she wants to be and she decides how she shows up.

She lives her life with intention.

She shows up in motherhood with intention.

She knows that there’s work to do and things to work through when it comes to raising her kids.

She knows that our kids are here to teach us the parts that need to be healed the most within.

She has big dreams AND desires to show up big for her kids too.

She chooses how she shows up.

She chooses how life works for her.

She lets go of judgment that it all has to look a certain way.

The vibe is: YOUR life YOUR way. Every area of it from motherhood, partnership, making money, the support... it's all done as you choose. 

In this episode I talk about showing up as a mom. Where I’ve fallen short + made changes so that you can too.

The thing is… Motherhood gets to look no different than the way we choose it to be and this is what I’m here to help you create.

Ooof… this is a topic that has been a struggle of mine for my entire life. And while I’m getting so much better at it these days, it still pops up in new areas and I have to work through it again.

If you lived a childhood where you didn’t really feel like you belonged or if you asked for support, it wasn’t always willingly given with love and joy from your parents or those around you… chances are that you’ve developed some hyper-independence.

You have learned to rely on me, myself, and I and have an ‘I can do it myself’ attitude amiright?

I’m right here with you and it made things so much harder than they needed to be for me and I’m guessing it’s the same for you too.

When we learn this behavior growing up, it likes to come along into adulthood. And the thing is, we don’t just naturally shift from a state of not knowing if our needs or desires will be met by others to I’m going to ask for support in everything in life!

Typically we have to get ourselves to a place of believing that it’s even ok that I can’t stay on top of it all with ease and grace…. Then I have to muster up the courage for a bit to then ask for help.

At least this is mostly how it was for me up until the last 6 months or so.

And I truly don’t want it to take you this long to get the support that you want.

We weren’t meant to live life in survival mode.

Life gets to be created with intention.

It’s time for you to step into the life you desire.

No one does it all on their own and if you’ve been trying, it’s time to drop the struggle and step into a new vibe.

Being the most empowered you…

A woman worthy of support because you are.
A woman who knows how to create a life that feels good.
A woman who is unapologetically her, sets powerful boundaries, and isn’t afraid to speak up when things don’t feel good.

You get to become her and I’m teaching you how in this week’s pep talk.

One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn was how to ask my partner for help + wanna know something wild?

This is the question I get asked the most by women on the socials.

And here’s the thing….

A lot of the sh!t we drag into our relationships is stuff that started in childhood. So here we pack up our suitcases full of our kid drama + try to make it work in a relationship with our partner.

One thing that also comes from growing up… the stories + beliefs we create in our minds about how a wife or husband ‘should’ be in a relationship.

We are conditioned by the way that we were raised and there’s nothing wrong with that because YOU get to CHOOSE to change it!

But first things first… it’s SOOO helpful to understand yourself more and know why you do the things you do and feel the things you feel.

On this week’s episode that is exactly what I’m walking you through…

- Gaining an awareness as to why and how you and your partner show up in your relationship
- Becoming aware of your needs and knowing that it’s ok to have them because you were never meant to do it all on your own.
- Asking for help
And I also touch on what to do if your partner isn’t willing to help you out because there are people like that out there too and you still get to find your own inner peace + get the support you need. 

By the way, doors to Empowered Mom are now open! This is my 6-week group coaching container where we dive DEEP into this so that you step into your most empowered self to get the support you need.

We will have a weekly group coaching call AND you will have access to all of the modules for life.

This program is going to help you drop the motherf-ing mom life struggle and create a life you love with kids in tow!

Ready to lighten the load, step into your most empowered self, and live your best life?

When you trigger others, you are giving them an opportunity to see where their work begins. 
Most likely, they won't see it that way and that's ok. 
But for you, the real work is allowing yourself to be YOU and not giving into the urge to pick up their pieces and smooth it all over or make it better. 
I feel like as women we believe that we have to over explain ourselves to help others understand why we are choosing to do what we do. 
And the thing is.... you don't. 
You get to be fully you, put powerful boundaries in place to protect your inner peace, and show up as your beautiful, unapologetic self! 
That's the work because sitting with emotions might be uncomfy for you. They sure have been and still are for me. 
But when you realize that you won't die for feeling.... you get a little braver each time and allow more and more of the you who’s deep down inside to come out. 
And this is when life starts to get really good because you are allowing yourself to be your truest, most authentic self and when you show up that way.... you give others permission to do the same.

Today I’m chatting all about the mental load we carry as moms. It took me a long time to realize just how much we carry and the thing is, awareness is the first step to change.

So if we want to lighten our lives + have more support, we first have to become aware of how much is truly not serving us.
I get real in this episode and I share a lot.

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about mom life it’s that you have more power than you can ever imagine to create it in the way YOU desire.

Mom life doesn’t have to be all hard. Living life by the seat of your pants + taking it as it comes is hard. 
Creating a life that feels good and you enjoy is also hard work. But you have the choice.
You do not have to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others happiness. 

You CHOOSE how it works for you and then you do the work to make that happen.

In this week’s episode I’m sharing why you might be feeling overwhelmed in mom life + how to step into your most empowered self to create a lighter life that FEELS GOOD to you.

Because when your life feels good as a mom, you show up differently.

You begin to think differently about life and about yourself.

Your belief in you grows, your confidence grows, and those around you feel it. 
What a beautiful gift to give to those around you… and what’s even more beautiful is the fact that you get to give that gift to yourself.

It’s time to set a new standard and call BS to the way society taught us mom life should be.
