    Episode 028 - I'm Sorry I Judged You

    News report headline reads: FOUNDER OF ANTI-JUDGMENT MOVEMENT JUDGES MOM Ugh. The shame! Lisa here, and that was me (and thankfully it didn't make the papers, just my blog and this podcast!) In the McDonald’s PlayPlace, I tore a fellow mother apart from ignoring her kids and working on her laptop - in my head. Until the gut-punch of conviction rolled in to remind me that I’m a working mom, too, and it’s hard. Sometimes I’m on my laptop. Sometimes (like that very day) my kids eat Happy Meals. None of that makes me feel like a bad mom, so why was I so intent on judging her?  The answer’s a pretty good one. Surprising, actually. You’ll have to hear it to believe it. So dive on into this episode, but don’t be surprised if there’s a gut punch headed your way too! You’re a really good mom -- and so is she!

    Episode 027: Can You Believe This Trip to the Grocery Store?

    Has your toddler ever cracked eggs on his chest while you’re attempting to check out at the grocery store? Yeahhhh, that was one mom’s experience! Jen and I have completely opposite responses to this story - I could laugh this off, but she would be mortified into mad! In this episode, our goal is to encourage you to not get stuck in the weeds of motherhood, resenting your kids for the way they ruin your day. (It’s their day, too!) It’s easier said than done, which is why we give you a few action steps to make this a reality!  And don’t forget, you’re on the earth to love others in a way that only YOU can, so don’t lose steam on the small stuff so you can love well in all of the other stuff - big AND small! xoxo, Lisa *In an effort to serve you best, this podcast is both audio AND video, so make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel and the podcast itself, wherever you get your podcasts!* LISTEN: iTunes Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-am-mother-of-the-year podcast/id1525025238 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Y4aWbXEPsFpP2gw3GloSK?si=RA3VMy8uTlGcoEkpHITFhQ  FOLLOW: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/iammotheroftheyear Facebook Group for Moms - https://www.facebook.com/groups/iammotheroftheyear Instagram - https://instagram.com/iammotheroftheyear JOIN LISA'S PATREON COMMUNITY: https://patreon.com/iammotheroftheyear CONNECT: https://www.iammotheroftheyear.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/iammotheroftheyear)

    Episode 026: Survive, Thrive, Strive

    Don’t just survive, THRIVE! We’ve all heard it. We may even have said it. We want to do it, right?! Of course we all want to thrive, but sometimes, we just can’t. And that’s ok, because you know what’s ok?! Surviving! It’s good to survive, to live on -- as the definition of the word says. When we want so badly to thrive, we start to do that other I-V-E word - strive! Striving is yucky. Striving involves way too much of our mental and emotional capacity. In this episode, Jen and I define and unpack all of the I-V-E words and talk about what it really looks like to get into this rhythm of becoming...at your pace...at God’s pace.

    Episode 025: 5 Minutes of Peace & Quiet

    I JUST WANT FIVE MINUTES OF PEACE AND QUIET FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY! Too much?! Too crazy for ya? I doubt it. You’ve been there, I know you have. If everyone would just leave you alone, you’d be able to settle down, or cook this dinner, or finish that work email, or fill-in-the-blank. But they don’t, and they won’t. No one gives us peace and quiet or margin or space...we have to create that for ourselves. Need 5 minutes of peace? We give it to you in this episode, but after that you’ll have to take ownership of your needs, create your quiet, and then use that time wisely! Jen and I have lots of these conversations in this episode to give you some ideas of what to do (and what not to do!) Tune in!

    Episode 024: Motherhood is Death by a Thousand Cuts

    A couple years ago, I vividly remember standing at the kitchen counter getting the kids’ lunch ready. Cutting the hotdog length-wise twice, then 11 times the other way. Slicing the grapes in 2. I was mid-slice into the string cheese when I thought that I just might not make it through the day. “All I do is cut their food. That’s it. I feel like I’m cutting food all day long. I should be counting how many cuts I make a day, because I bet the number is close to 1,000…but then if I knew that, it would only depress me.” I felt that to my core. Despair, longing, resentment. Death by 1,000 cuts. Death. Death to our bodies, death to our momentum, and death to our schedules. Death to our selfishness, our need for control, and our freedom. Death to ourselves.  And that’s a really good thing, when we allow the death-cuts to kill the ugly, selfish parts of us that need to go. The best parts of us that we can’t focus on because of our kids – we bury. The uniqueness with which we were created – we mask. The dreams of “one day I’ll pursue that dream”  – we slay. The beautiful, glorious identity we could still have outside of our motherhood – we lead to the slaughter.  So how do you tell these cuts apart? You’ve got to take the time to listen to your own thoughts. Get to know the voices at war in your mind. And then choose to allow the gentle, loving nudges of a God who created you for the best to cut away the things you just don’t need. And tell the rest of the fear mongers to GET. OUT.  Xoxo, Lisa *In an effort to serve you best, this podcast is both audio AND video, so make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel and the podcast itself, wherever you get your podcasts!* LISTEN: iTunes Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-am-mother-of-the-year podcast/id1525025238Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Y4aWbXEPsFpP2gw3GloSK?si=RA3VMy8uTlGcoEkpHITFhQ FOLLOW: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/iammotheroftheyearFacebook Group for Moms - https://www.facebook.com/groups/iammotheroftheyearInstagram - https://instagram.com/iammotheroftheyearJOIN LISA'S PATREON COMMUNITY: https://patreon.com/iammotheroftheyearCONNECT: https://www.iammotheroftheyear.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/iammotheroftheyear)

    Episode 023: As a Mom, I Have the Right to...

    As a mom, you have the right to be imperfect, to be aware of and fulfill your needs, and change, emerge, and expand in new directions. Say WHAT?! Did you know this? In this episode, Jen and I talk about the Assertive Bill of Rights -- a resource her counselor gave her as she was healing from an abusive marriage. It was a major wakeup call for her, and when she shared them with me, we both knew we couldn’t NOT share them with you. A whole list of mini permission slips to be who you are, show up strong, and live a healthy life.  Why do we struggle with this? And why does it matter? My guess is that you struggle with some of these because you’re believing a lie (or lies) about who you are. You aren’t living what’s true about you. And that may be because you don’t know how to get there! I get it, because I’m right there in the trenches with you. The mental load we carry, the relationships we manage, and the expectations on our hearts and minds keep us feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the comparison trap, and just feeling like we’re not enough all around. And I think that’s wrong. So wrong, in fact, that my team and I are working hard to create an online community where we can fight for our value, voice, and identity — together! Stay tuned for more info on that!!!

    Episode 022: How Will You Wave Goodbye to Fear in the New Year?

    BYE BYE, fear! Just like that! That’s how you wave goodbye to fear in the new year!  Umm...it’s not quite that easy. In this conversation, Jen and I dive into the pressure we put on ourselves this time of year. I share a humiliating story of when I freaked out about all the new year resolution things on January 1st and dyed my hair (you’ll have to see it to believe it, so make sure you at least catch the video on YouTube, Facebook, or IGTV). But mostly, we talk about how resolutions (if you even make them) are not won or lost in a single day. That fear is your enemy and needs to be dealt with as such, and that perfection is never ever the goal. Listen, no matter what your hopes, dreams, and goals for 2021 are, we can accomplish them together! In the new year, you’ll be hearing A LOT about an online community we are creating to do this exact thing - to punch fear in the face and show up strong in our own lives.
