    Ep 46 | Control Freak to Chaos Coordinator: Regaining Control When Your Plan Hits the Fan

    You are BOSS at getting things done and checking the boxes. You make things happen, often with ease, at least from the outside looking in. Cool as a cucumber…as long as things are going according to plan…YOUR plan. But when those strong willed kids of yours butt up against your carefully crafted plan and vision for how things will go, that’s when the meltdowns start…theirs and yours…as anxiety rises, your heart starts to race, and you feel OUT OF CONTROL.

    Join us today on the Joyful Mamahood podcast as we chat about control, practicing the pause, and how slowing down saves time. I’m also sharing 6 tips you can try the next time your kiddo is having a meltdown.

    Ep 45 | Rest as Restoration: Reclaiming Your Time and Energy as a High-Achieving Mom

    Ep 45 | Rest as Restoration: Reclaiming Your Time and Energy as a High-Achieving Mom

    No rest for the weary…

    What if that’s the problem? What if we are weary because we see rest as a luxury and not as a necessity. 

    Rest = Restoration.

    As ambitious moms, who want to do everything with excellence, the belief that we have to be doing something runs deep.

    We constantly rush from one thing to another and back again, priding ourselves on our ability to multitask, but wondering why we are exhausted and our to-do list is never done.

    What if there is another way? 

    What if the way to get more done more efficiently without compromising a job well done is actually found in rest? 

    And what if more time, more energy, and more present, connected relationships is a side effect of that rest.

    Join me as we explore the concept of rest as restoration and the benefits that come with prioritizing that.

    Ep 44 | Beating Disaster with Carrie Conrad: Keeping Our Kids Safe when the World Feels Scary

    Ep 44 | Beating Disaster with Carrie Conrad: Keeping Our Kids Safe when the World Feels Scary

    Keeping our kids safe in a world that can seem incredibly scary at times while also letting them be kids is a top priority for every parent. In this episode, Kim sits down with Carrie Conran of Beating Disaster to talk about effective prevention methods to keep our kids safe without instilling a spirit of fear of unnecessary anxiety in them (or in us).

    We talked about how to let our kids be kids without being helicopter moms, how to make them a hard target, so they are undesirable to the people we don’t want wanting them, the importance of not “scaring our kids straight, playtime as a powerful tool for teaching kids about boundaries, safety, and self-protection, and what to do when your kids are exposed to inappropriate content online.

    We dug into how common parenting methods, while well-intended, could inadvertently make kids more vulnerable and what to do instead, and how being fully present and caring for ourselves as moms contributes to the overall safety and well-being of our kids.

    You may want to pop you ear buds in for this episode. There is nothing inappropriate, but we do talk about some things that could create a spirit of fear in little listeners.

    Let’s get started!

    Ep 43 | Unlocking the Power of Presence: Slowing Down Time for the Things That Matter

    Time is a thief, and it seems to slip through our fingers faster the busier we become. 

    Being a mom is a dream come true for many of us, but it often comes with the heavy mental load of responsibilities that can pull us away from the present moment. 

    In this episode, we'll dive into rediscovering the magic of being present in the moment, as we discuss the importance of slowing down, savoring the now, and rekindling our connection with the world around us. 

    Join us as we explore the challenges faced by high achieving moms and gain valuable insights on how to be present, even when life's demands have us in a constant state of rushing.

    Ep 42 | Cultivating a Spirit of Fun: Embracing Playfulness as a Mom

    Ep 42 | Cultivating a Spirit of Fun: Embracing Playfulness as a Mom

    Grow up. Stop playing around. Act your age. Stop being so silly. From the time we were little, we’ve been inundated with messages that have conditioned the playfulness out of most of us. 

    Then you throw in the serious business of raising kids, keeping them alive, making sure they are well fed, respect their elders, make good choices, don’t get hurt, are kind to others, get good grades, do their chores, pick up their messes, all while we rush around to get them where they need to be, care for our homes, and try to balance work, volunteering, our marriages, and a social life, while barely being able to care for our basic needs is enough to snuff out whatever ember of playfulness might still be left, hiding deep inside. 

    It's no wonder we feel uptight.  In this episode of the Joyful Mamahood podcast, we are rekindling that little light within you that longs for things to feel lighter and more fun as we cultivate a spirit of fun within ourselves and our families.
