Hi, I'm Amanda. I'm a life coach for moms. If you are a mom and are tired of the wash-rinse-repeat burnout cycle of motherhood; if you feel lonely and isolated in your motherhood journey; if you feel like you have completely lost your identity since your babies were born; if you feel like every other mom has it together except for you, this podcast is for you. I am living proof that a woman can be present & loving to her kids, while also being a whole ass person outside of being “that kid’s mom”. The secret? Learning when to say F**K IT.

    FIM 85: F*ck It Friday: The Turkey is Too Turkey-y

    Happy F*ck It Friday, mamas! It's that time of the month, (no, not THAT time of the month 🎈), so grab your favorite beverage, barricade yourself in your favorite hiding spot from your kids, and get ready to have some fun! Amanda Haro & Samantha Trujillo are back (minus Amanda de La Madriz, who was in Italy, the lucky b*tch) to say f*ck it to the annoying parts of motherhood. Like the Christmas day carnage that happens to our living rooms. And all the leftover food that goes to waste. And when the turkey gets too turkey-y. And putting expectations on ourselves to create perfect Christmas magic when mama is too tired.

    FIM 82: Merry F*ck It Christmas: Mindful Holiday Drinking with Anna Charles

    'Mom' has become synonymous with 'wine' in pop culture now. We see it on memes: "Hiding from my kids in the bathtub with a bottle of wine". We see it in alcohol commercials: "Because mommy-ing is stressful". We hear it in song lyrics: "All the wine moms are still holding out, but f**k 'em, it's over". Yes it's funny...sometimes. But it can also become a slippery slope to women developing drinking habits unconsciously. When we're getting the message from literally everywhere that we should deal with our mom stress at the bottom of a bottle of wine, we find ourselves doing that. Every night. TO BE CLEAR: THIS EPISODE IS NOT ABOUT SHAMING. Consuming alcohol is not in and of itself a problem. This episode is simply about uncovering the reasons behind your drinking habits & asking yourself the question, 'Do I like this?' with no shame or judgement, but out of immense LOVE for yourself. And if you find the answer to that question is, 'no', then guest Anna Charles has some helpful tips on how you can feel in control of your drinking this holiday season. There are ways to reduce your stress as a mom at Christmas without drinking them away. Follow host, Amanda Haro, on Instagram. Follow Anna Charles, the drink less coach, on Instagram.
