    Embracing a Minimalist Mindset

    Embracing a Minimalist Mindset

    What does it mean to have a minimal mindset? We are talking about simple and actionable steps to get you there.
    My favorite acronym for SLOW is Simply Look Only Within and I use this in everything I do. In fact, it goes right along with my daily journaling guide that I am sharing with you today! In the journal, I talk about something called the Peace Pyramid which is comprised of 6 parts.
    Time ManagementHealthFinancesOrganizationRelationshipsPeace
    When you are surrounded by clutter it affects how you feel on a daily basis. However, organization can give you instant relief and rescue from the overwhelm. Creating a daily schedule can also help you achieve your to do list in a more simpler way. These are all topics we are talking about in today's episode!
    Just remember, move forward with intention.
    Are you ready to create your own minimal mindset?

    Meet the Organizer Chick -- Amber's Story

    Meet the Organizer Chick -- Amber's Story

    Did you know that our brains are not wired for clutter? My friend, Amber Taggard, is here to share her entrepreneurial journey with us and how she has built a business dedicated to productivity!
    Amber is the owner and founder of The Organizer Chicks. She is a professional organizer, time management coach, and professional speaker who has contributed to Forbes.
    Growing up with entrepreneurial parents, Amber always knew that there were more options for her than what was in the college brochure. Still, she grew up being told that college is the way by society. Unsure of what she wanted to do, she got a degree in psychology. Throughout the beginning of her career, she realized that productivity is her specialty. Which was the lightbulb to start her company, The Organizer Chicks.
    We are diving into topics like:
    How she built her company from the ground upOur bodies are physically wired to be affected by clutterHow does she schedule her day as a business owner

    Slow Parenting Series: Intro

    Slow Parenting Series: Intro

    I am so excited to start this new series with you! We are going to be diving into what it means to be a Slow Parent and how you can parent in a thoughtful way.
    As I have shared before, my acronym for SLOW is Simply.Look.Only.Within and this applies to slow parenting as well as slow living. You can look within yourself to feel calm and confident in your parenting.
    One of the most important things to start with is get to know your child. Understand what they are capable of and don't give them expectations to live up to that they may not be ready for.
    We are talking about:
    How you handle a situation can affect your kidsTips to discipline your child in a slow parenting way
    I have something special for you, my Golden Rules for my family and I am sharing them with you! You can find them HERE.
    If you want more resources, go back to Episode 5: Teaching your children to slow down and have a listen!

Moms Overcoming Overwhelm ,

Ditch the unrealistic expectations and mom guilt - it’s time to slow down and simplify!

Stephanie is not only a wealth of knowledge about how to slow down and simplify, but she is a calm, yet firm presence reminding me of what truly matters. When I’m tempted to compare myself to other moms who presumably “have it all together”, I’m reminded of Stephanie’s wonderful acronym for SLOW - Simply Look Only Within. I was recently a guest on the Slow Living Podcast and it was such a pleasure speaking to a like-minded (and like-hearted) woman who is also on a mission to help moms ditch perfectionism and unrealistic expectations. Thank you Steph for all you do! Sincerely, Emily from the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm Podcast

Grateful

I am so grateful to Steph! I love her podcast, her common sense and easy flow to life. I’ve listened to her for over a year now and have worked with her one on one. She gave me great insight to some hiccups I had about my day. Please slow down and listen. You won’t regret it.

Stick to recipes

Recipes are useful…the life advice, not so much. Seems like just another person trying to be some sort of “life coach” and make a buck online. Tried a few episodes because I like the cookbooks…a lot of fluff and regurgitated self help. Stick to cookbooks!
