Let's face it, mom life is stressful! But how does that stress affect your body?
 
Today on The Anchored Motherhood Podcast we're discussing how stress directly affects our hormones, and then our hormones affect all the other things like weight, energy, and mood. Which then causes more stress. 
 
It's time to break the cycle! 
 
If diet and exercise just aren't getting the job done, and you're ready to take charge of your health in a more holistic way, this episode is for you!

Do you wish you could find more time in your day? Well, you can't find time. You have to make it! And the very best way I've found to save time in my busy mom life is automation.
 
 
Errands can be such a time stealer, especially when you're running out for last minute items that you forgot the last time you went shopping. Make life easier by planning ahead, ordering online, and letting someone else do the shopping (and even delivery) for you. 
 
 
In this episode, you'll learn how to get started with automation, so you can spend your time on the things that really matter!

Do you know that you’d be a better wife and mother if you made time for self-care, but you still have trouble justifying the time and money because you think it should be spent elsewhere?
 
So many mamas struggle with this. Knowing they could be better, but not feeling worthy of the investment.
 
In this episode, we’re talking about why self-care is not selfish at all, but actually the most selfless thing you can do for the ones you love. And how to make investing in yourself both simple and inexpensive, so you can’t make any more excuses!
 
Don’t miss this one, mama. It’s a game changer!

Do you ever wish you could step into your child's mind and see whether or not the things you say make an impact? There are so many parenting resources out there claiming to have the "key" to molding strong, independent kids who grow into successful adults, but how do you know if what you're doing is actually working?
 
Today I'm chatting with author Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach about her book Why I Didn't Rebel. This isn't a typical parenting how-to guide. It's written from the perspective of young adults who are reflecting on their childhood, and giving insight into the parenting practices that created closer bonds between parents and their kids, versus those that pushed them to rebel. 
 
This one is a must listen if you're curious to learn how reasons over rules are the secret to better parenting relationships.
