    How to Handle Failure Better

    How to Handle Failure Better

    How do you handle failure? Have you ever clarified what that looks like for yourself?
    I'm guessing probably not! Well, the problem with not knowing the specifics of HOW you do something is that then you don't know what to do DIFFERENTLY.
    That's exactly what I'm talking about in today's podcast episode!
    I'm going to walk you through a short exercise I led the Happy, Holy Mama Members through during Planning Week 2024 to unpack the feeling of "failure" and gave them a process for how they could handle it better.
    So, if you don't love the way you experience failures in your life and want to do it better, grab your earbuds and join me for: How to Handle Failure Better!

    What's Your ACTUAL Job? (And what's not?)

    What's Your ACTUAL Job? (And what's not?)

    If you have ever felt tension in your jaw, neck, shoulders, or tightness in your chest and shortness of breath, and ready to throw in the towel, then I'm willing to bet you know what it feels like to be burnt out.
    Or at least on the verge of burnout.
    In today's episode I dive into some of the reasons you are, or have been, burnt out, most of which boil down to you trying to do a job that doesn't belong to you. 
    I'm going to give you a job description that the Lord gave me when I asked HIM what our job is as a Catholic homeschooler, and it might surprise you. 
    Grab your earbuds to join me for today's podcast and then go sign up for my NEW masterclass this Wednesday called How to Prevent Burnout and Love Your Homeschool! Sign up HERE for the class!

    Embracing the Vocation of Motherhood

    Embracing the Vocation of Motherhood

    When she first reached out to begin coaching, Michaela just wanted to stop yelling and get more organized.
    In this week's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, Micheala and I walk through how coaching helped her reach those intial goals, and also how it helped her through some of the trials she's experienced over the last few years while she was working toward them.
    Like giving birth to her sixth child just a couple of months after her mother passed away, and how coaching supported her, and continues to support her, to the point to where she's now thriving! 
    Michaela so beautifully shares what's been the most beneficial for her to learn and her favorite coaching tools that she practices still that help her maintain her progress, which she hopes will serve you, too!
    Finally, Michaela shares some of the more surprising results of this work that she's had through some of these intensely hard moments. Results that happen for my clients more often than not after we work together and that you might be interested to hear. 
     
    Grab your earbuds and join us as Michaela and I discuss her inspirational journey: Embracing the Vocation of Motherhood.

    I don't know HOW to stop working!

    I don't know HOW to stop working!

    There's always something that needs to be done, which can drive moms a bit batty, prevent you from taking a much needed rest, and drive you to overwork.
    The urge you feel to get up and tidy or finish a project when you should be resting is exactly what I'm diving into today on the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast.
    In this week's short and sweet episode I talk about some of the common thoughts fueling those urges and I'm giving you a few simple steps to try the next time you notice you're overworking. 
    Listen to today's episode to learn how to have a better experience of the work you choose to do and feel more confident to say no to work to prioritize rest.

Grateful for this guidance

I am so grateful to Emily and all of the wisdom she shares. As a first time homeschooler I was struggling. Emily’s advice is so practical but also somewhat unexpected. The things I want to fix or control often have deeper roots. She helps uncover these things and set the right priorities.

A Blessing at the Perfect Time

I just found Emily and her podcast as a new homeschooler planning for our first year, and I know this was such a blessing from God! She is so full of holy wisdom and just a gem for all Catholic homeschooling moms, new and veteran alike! I can’t wait to dive into more episodes; I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a treasure trove!

Wonderful Easy App ,

just a SAHM

I am a Catholic momma to two toddlers (about to be 2 toddlers and a newborn) and have not even decided fully if I am called to homeschool my children. That being said, I have thoroughly LOVED Emily Brown’s podcast. There are several episodes that apply to all walks of Catholic motherhood and how to keep our eyes on the Kingdom and live out our vocation as the domestic church whether or not you homeschool! If you do, there is so much encouragement and advice in what she puts in her podcast. If you don’t, there is no pressure or condemnation for however you are choosing to school. Thank you, Emily for your assistance in this journey!
