    126. Boundary Struggles With Your Kids? Nurture Your Connection With Your Kids and Set Them Up for Success Through Setting Effective Boundaries

    Hey Mama!   Boundaries are hard. Every aspect of them. But when it comes to setting boundaries with our kids it’s a whole different ball game. They whine and cry and know just the buttons to push when we have hit our limit. Somehow, our kids just know when we are done and can’t handle anymore, they push that button just right and we give in because we are so tired, irritated, frustrated, or just plain worn out.   They figure this out at such a young age don’t they?! Our kiddos need discipline, they need lines to be drawn and they need consistency, all while doing this in love. The combination of that all can be so difficult when we are already so tired. Oh, I’ll give in today because I just can’t handle another minute of little Betty’s whining. I’ll deal with it tomorrow. Or, we snap and yell because we know we can’t give in but we have had enough of Betty’s whining for the day and she needs to stop.   Both of those are extremes that don’t work very well, but we all get to that point some days. So how do we set these boundaries? How do we set limits, draw the lines, and stay consistent?   Raising kids is hard, it was never meant to be easy, but it is so rewarding. Even on our hardest days, God has entrusted the care of these precious, amazing and sometimes irritating kiddos into our care and it is up to us to care for them appropriately.   Today's episode is going to address just that - setting healthy boundaries with our kids. We'll explore how incorporating God-centered boundaries and principles can transform your relationship with your children and alleviate some of the overwhelm you may be experiencing.   Don't miss this opportunity to transform your relationship with time and take the first steps towards a more empowered, purpose-driven life. Subscribe now to Restored Mama, where we journey together from overwhelmed with no time to becoming mindful moms. Your time is precious; let's make it count! This is the very last day before the doors close for the 2024 session! You don't want to miss it!   Love you Mama! Jen   Related Episodes:   Are You Lost In Motherhood?

    124. Time Management for Different Seasons: Change with Grace in Motherhood by Shifting Your Mindset Part 2

    Hey Mama!   Welcome to part 2 of shifting your mindset in those season changes! Every season has it's challenges. Some are easier than others, in life these days, it seems that no matter the season they are busy. That seems to be the consistency between every season we go through doesn't it?   We kinda get things figured out, maybe, a little bit, then things change, schedule changes, our kids change their nap schedule, our work schedule changes, our older kids get involved in other activities, have more play dates, more activities, the younger kids get more active, you move, you get more tired, maybe like me you have a fun surprise of twins on the way in an already busy season...or even just the small shifts day to day as things adjust, or we get sick, we all have a lot going on, our seasons change and whether we like it or not, we have to adapt to them.   It's not easy. We already feel like a hot mess mom trying to manage the massive amount of things we are responsible for, but then everything changes and we are thrown off, we lose our footing, we get further behind on that massive to-do list, and we just want to sit down and cry. The overwhelm takes over, the stress and anxiety of what's to come because we just can't manage it all comes on us, and we want to quit. But we can't quit, it's not an option to clock out, so we just trudge through, worn out and a shell of who we want to be, only to be thrown off again by the next shift. Now, it's not always this bad, some seasons and shifts can really knock us down like that.   Others, it's more of just stress and anxiety, and we know we could have handled that situation a little bit better, we could have talked to our kids or our husband in a kinder way instead of yelling when we got frustrated...you know, the things that tend to come out when us mamas are tired and stressed with all the things on our plate.   Today, we are exploring how to adapt and thrive in different seasons of life with grace. That's from simple things like staying calm and not yelling when you get stressed, to managing the massive changes to keep yourself from cracking and breaking. Whether you're facing a busy work season, navigating personal changes, or simply looking to enhance your time management skills, this episode has something for everyone.

    121. Are Expectations Setting You up for Failure? Cultivate a Thriving Marriage Through Healthy Expectations

    Hey there husband, wife...   In today's episode we take a deep dive into setting expectations in marriage. We have explored God's design for marriage, the roles of a wife and husband, healthy communication, and many more things. Today we talk expectations.   Expectations are a tricky thing. We know what we want, we know what we want our spouse to do. We know the results we are hoping for. But then it doesn't happen. Does that sound familiar? When you have expectations that are too low, too high, or you don't communicate those with the ones around you, especially your spouse, it is destined to lead to disappointment.   That disappointment ends up infiltrating all the other areas of your marriage and mental state. Before you know it, those things you use to find endearing, or weren't an issue, are causing you to cringe each time even though they are insignificant. Then, suddenly, your marriage is on the rocks and you have no idea why. All you know is your spouse just can't do anything right any more. What changed from before?   We will unravel the transformative power of open communication within expectations taking a bit of a deeper dive into communication from last weeks episode in relation to our expectations, we will talk about grace, and forgiveness in aligning our expectations with God's purpose for our marriage and the expectations we set on ourselves and our spouse. Whether you're a newlywed, a seasoned spouse, or someone seeking guidance in relationships, or even a single parent longing to find that partner in your life, this episode is an episode you need to hear.   Interested in the Love and Respect book I mentioned?
