3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms Cloud10

Hi friends! Today’s episode is a bonus episode! It continues my conversation with Meesha Slade in our main episode this past Monday. Meesha and I talked all about travel tips and tricks for families; however, she had some additional thoughts on family travel that didn't fit into our main episode. They were so awesome, that I had to share them with you in this bonus episode! Happy travels!

Do you have some fun trips coming up? Are you looking for travel tips for families?
Summer is here, which means that millions of moms - literally! - will be taking trips with their families in the next few months. There will be road trips, family reunions, bucket-list trips, and even day trips.
This season can be so much fun, but it can also be stressful. 
Riiiight? Tell me you feel this, too! 
This is why I invited Meesha Slade onto my show to share some travel tips for families. Meesha taught a class on family travel at my in-person Self-Assured Motherhood alumni retreat at the end of April. It was so timely for summer that I asked her to come on the show and share her brilliant tips with my entire community. You’re going to love it!

Figuring out how to parent teenagers can be … murky. It can often feel like we’re the bad guy no matter what we do! If you’ve been feeling at a loss for how to parent your teenager, and if you love Star Wars, Harry Potter, or The Hunger Games, you'll love the interview I did with Joey Mascio. 
Joey is a life coach who loves stories and helping teens become heroes in their own stories. I love that he also helps parents avoid being the villains!

Knowing how to make reading fun for our kids can be exasperating!
As a kid, I spent hours every day reading in the summer. I'd come home from the library with stacks of books. I was so jazzed when I got my "personal pan pizza" from Pizza Hut after I completed the Summer Reading Program.
Do you remember those days?
My kids are not quite as easily motivated. With summer coming up, I want to find ways to get them into books, but it will take more than the promise of a pizza to get them to dive in. They like to read but don't love it like I did as a kid.
That’s why I’m truly grateful for this interview with reading expert Janssen Bradshaw. She gives strategies for how to make reading FUN this summer. Fun is something my kids can get on board with! I’m excited to share Janssen’s wisdom with you!

Are you stressed about how to entertain your kids this summer?
The long, hot summer days can be, well, long (womp, womp). 
That is why I’m so excited to share my interview with Andi Smiley about her secret for entertaining kids this summer. 
And what, might you ask, is Andi’s awesome secret for entertaining your kids this summer? (drumroll…) It’s podcasts for kids!
I (obviously!) love podcasts, and if you’re a follower of my show, I’m guessing you do, too. But do your kids know how great they are? If you haven’t yet introduced your kids to the amazing world of podcasts, you are in for a treat.

Does positive journaling feel disingenuous to you? After all, there are really hard days when you’re a mom. Sitting down at the end of a rough day and writing down something positive can feel dishonest. Hop on to this week's episode and listen as I share an email I received from a listener who struggled with this. Hear how she navigates the balance between authenticity and optimism, and then hear how I’ve tried to do the same. 

If you have any thoughts about this balance, I’d love to hear! Come join me on Instagram, or leave a comment on my blog post!
