More Time for Mom

Dr. Amber Curtis

Are you a worn-out mom who used to be the star of the office, spend 45 minutes doing your hair and makeup, and take romantic getaways before you had kids…but now you’re constantly behind and out of PTO at work, there are three days’ worth of dishes piled in the sink, the kids scream when tablet time is over, and you’re so touched out by 8pm that you scroll Instagram instead of spending time with your husband?   Welcome to the club. If you’re paralyzed by what to do first whenever you miraculously find 15 free minutes and fall asleep in tears because you’ve always tried to do everything right but now it feels so wrong, you are NOT alone. I went crazy trying to “balance” it all and believing other experts who tell you to just wake up earlier or manage your time better. Turns out you’re not the problem; toxic productivity culture has led you to equate your self-worth with what you have to show for your time.   I’ve spent years applying my PhD research skills to find scientifically proven strategies for keeping up without burning out—then tailoring them for busy mamas whose hands, hearts, and schedules are fuller than they ever imagined. Now I’ve helped dozens of other women discover the hidden causes behind your stress so you can reclaim your time, restore your energy, rediscover your identity, and look back in 20 years with pride instead of regret.    Join me, Dr. Amber Curtis—certified life coach, behavioral science professor, public speaker, devoted wife, and mom of four—every Tuesday for real, raw stories and actionable advice on productivity, organization, time management, and that elusive thing we call work-life “balance” so you can be the happy, present wife and mom you dream of without sacrificing the talents you’re meant to share with the world.   Ready to make more time for YOU? Hit play and make sure to tune in for new episodes every Tuesday. It's time to take back your life for who and what you love. You’ll soon realize “time” was never the problem after all.

    Your Teen is Changing. So Are You: Individuation in Teens & Midlife Moms

    Send us Fan Mail Why is your once-sweet child pulling away, rebelling against your rules, and acting like someone you barely recognize—at the exact midlife moment you’re asking, "Who even am I anymore?" There’s a connection: you’re both going through individuation—the normal psychological process of developing your own distinct identity.  In this episode, I break down the multiple life stages where individuation naturally occurs and underscore 10 huge takeaways that normalize why it feels sooooo threatening to your nervous system. Individuation doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong; nor does it have to sever your connection with those you love. Your teenager is simply asking, “Who am I apart from my parents?” Meanwhile you're being invited to (re)discover who YOU are apart from what you do who everyone else has always needed you to be.    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why your toddler or teenager pulling away is actually a GOOD thingWhy parent-child conflict can actually signal healthy developmentHow secure attachment helps children become more independent How your default stress response affects the way your nervous system gets triggered by your teen’s individuationWhy people-pleasing women experience midlife differentiation especially intenselyAnd more!  AS MENTIONED: Find out your default stress response with my FREE quiz: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/stress-response-podcast Episode 47: The 4 Attachment Styles Every Mom Must Know: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471152/episodes/18536271    FOR SO MUCH MORE: Sign up for my “Nervous System 101” masterclass to finally understand your brain and body like never before: https://solutionsforsimplicity.thrivecart.com/ns101/  Join the next round of my Moms Made New so stress no longer sabotages you—or your relationships: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/mmn-waitlist  Book a free consult with Dr. Amber 1:1: https://tidycal.com/solutionsforsimplicity/free-consult   HOMEWORK: What if your child's job isn't to become the person you think they should be, but to discover the person they actually are?

    The Most Unhinged Things I Used to Do As a People Pleaser

    Send us Fan Mail Ever said "yes" when you desperately wanted to say "no"? Changed who you were just to fit in? Stayed silent when someone crossed your boundaries because speaking up felt too terrifying? In today's deeply personal episode, I'm sharing some of the most unhinged things I used to do as a people pleaser—including stories I've never told publicly before. I now know that none of these behaviors were personality flaws; they were protective nervous system adaptations. Through my examples, you'll learn why people pleasing isn't just “being nice". It’s the telltale sign of a fawn response—a subconscious survival strategy developed in childhood to maintain safety, approval, and connection. If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, overfunctioning, conflict avoidance, weak boundaries, or constantly putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own, I hope this episode helps you finally understand why. I’m proof that healing is SO possible! If you're ready to stop people pleasing and start living as your authentic self, be sure to sign up for a free consult call below.   BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why people pleasing isn’t a personality trait; it’s a default stress response How people pleasing can show up in marriage, parenting, friendships, and work The hidden cost of always striving to make everyone else happy Why boundaries feel so threatening for recovering people pleasers How people pleasing and overfunctioning actually grow out of fear, not generosity And more!  AS MENTIONED: Find out your default stress response with my FREE quiz: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/stress-response-podcast Episode 53: The 5 Stress Responses, Part I: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471152/episodes/18778797 Episode 54: The 5 Stress Responses, Part II: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471152/episodes/18831735 Episode 47: The 4 Attachment Styles Every Mom Must Know: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471152/episodes/18536271    FOR SO MUCH MORE: Sign up for my “Nervous System 101” masterclass to finally understand your brain and body like never before: https://solutionsforsimplicity.thrivecart.com/ns101/  Join the next round of my Moms Made New so stress no longer sabotages you—or your relationships: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/mmn-waitlist  Book a free consult with Dr. Amber 1:1: https://tidycal.com/solutionsforsimplicity/free-consult   HOMEWORK: Reach out to me via email or on Instagram @solutionsforsimplicity to share the craziest thing YOU’VE ever done as a people pleaser.
