MAMA INSPIRED - Mindset, Motivation, Motherhood, Mom Community Sarah Wainscott

In today's episode I'll share my story, give you a true sense of where I came from, and the things that molded me into this Mama Inspired. You will hear my journey from corporate America sales, to small town Alaska real estate, to network marketing health and fitness coach, to NOW driving a mama-led-movement as a podcaster. I'll share with you how the hardest two years of my life transformed me into the empowered, compassionate, and grateful woman I am today. It's a true example of how just a little perspective, love, and faith can unveil the miracle in the mess.  I am here to help you uncover your own.
 
Thank you for hopping on this journey with me. Enjoy! 
 
All the Love,
Sarah

I am going to get real in today's episode as I relive the moments Mama Inspired was born. You'll hear how sharing in my loss, fear, and isolation in a post on social media propelled this journey to discovering my mission, and how I came to understand the power of courageous vulnerability.
In these moments I felt this overwhelming need from my community to drive a movement, cultivate a more enlightened, compassionate and empowered mama collective, and to encourage mamas and mamas-to-be to avoid isolation and fear not comparison and judgement.
I believe storytelling not only helps us heal, makes us feel heard, and like we are a part of something bigger, but can bring to light a perspective that changes how we view our own mess and uncover the beauty within in.
 
My hope is that you will begin to see the power of sharing in your own struggles. Join me as we relive this miracle and please leave a review if what you hear inspires you! Hearing from you makes my heart so happy and your words could encourage another mama to hop on this journey with us.
 
All the love,
Sarah

Have you been deceived by the term " Self Care"? In today's episode I uncover the lie we tell ourselves around this buzzword and help you adopt a more realistic and impactful way of applying it to your day-to-day life. If you so badly want and need more patience, focus, compassion, gratitude, and energy for you life and your family, this is where it starts.
 
This episode is meant to prepare for what you will feel, learn, and grow in, as you listen to the podcast. I set the record straight on my definition of a "mom" and reveal the 5 Pillars of Inspiration. These five: Motherhood, Mindset, Storytelling, Inspiration, and Self-care will be the foundation for our show and are key in driving this Mama-led-movement. Let's get to work Mamas !

We Mamas are incredible! We are capable of taking care of everyone and everything and think nothing of it… because it's just what we do! But, in the end we often neglect ourselves. In today's episode we are going to DEBUNK the 5 reasons you are not practicing self care, why the cleaning, kids, guilt, the world's opinion, our blurred vision of what's necessity and what isn't often get in the way of living our healthiest and happiest life.
 
We will discern the small actions each day that make a big impact on the way we feel, how we emotionally react and connect to our children/family, our negative or positive energy, how we sleep, and how we speak to ourselves at the end of the day. OUR truths, what is truly important, and of value to us will be revealed and we will learn to make decisions based on our own wellbeing and happiness instead of expectations and guilt. We will apply this mindset to time-management, so that you can make the very best of your day with what you have.
 
With a little guidance and tough-love you will be making change and growth around your self care routines in no time! Let's get to it mama!

We receive this question so causally as soon as we are married or are of the "age" to bare children and it's time it stops. In this episode Ashley Wallace shares how her answer to this question changed over the course of her 5 year long infertility battle, how it felt to receive it, and her commitment to enlightening others when it's asked of her today.
 
We are going to hear how she and her husband Branson uncovered true blessings amidst the hard and the moments in which their adoption blog was created. You must go read and share their story and all the inspiring words they have shared in hopes that a mama might hear it too and decide to make these beautiful people parents.  You can find the blog on Facebook here -> Praying to Adopt Baby Wallace.
 
We hope this episode changes the narrative around how we approach women in their journey to motherhood and that the road of infertility doesn't remain one of shame and loneliness.
