“Mom Guilt”. I am pretty sure if you are at the part in your life where you are raising teenagers you have experienced “Mom Guilt” 5 billion and 83 times. “Mom Guilt” is real and it is not going away. In this quick episode I talk about “Mom Guilt”. Three things you can do with “Mom Guilt”. I really encourage you to see “Mom Guilt” for what it is and move on in fighting for your “dream”
I talk about these three things when it comes to “Mom Guilt”.
Acknowledge It
“When this thought comes into my head I label it for what it is.  “Mom Guilt”. I literally think “Ogh there it is, “Mom Guilt” again”.
Accept It
“Accept the fact that you will feel guilty it's in your DNA.”
Appreciate It
“The reason is you're a mom, a good mom. You love your family.”
I believe as a mom living with “Mom Guilt” it’s part of normal life. I don’t think “Mom Guilt” ever goes away or there is a magic process to get rid of it. We as Moms need to embrace “Mom Guilt”

My passion and purpose has always been my kids. But, what happens when your kids get older, they start leaving the house. Yes the passion and purpose is still there but there need for me 24/7 is not. Everyday it feels like you have more and more time away from your biggest joy, your biggest passion.This episode will be an overview of my take on Passion, Purpose, and Pursuit. 
 
Passion:
 “I would define passion as something you have a strong desire or love for and you are willing to struggle to pursue it.” 
Purpose:
“In researching this passion is the feeling you get while doing something. Purpose is the Why you do something.”
Pursuit:
“So I understand that sometimes, people's passion and purpose just comes to them easily. I think that is great, but I am guessing since you are listening to this podcast that is not the case for you.”

Meditation means to engage thinking and or reflection. Meditation is something that many people will do when they explore a new passion, look for a new purpose, or want to have a calmer life. I have struggled to start meditating. I learned a lot when I sat down with Emily Kessler to learn all about meditation and how to get started. We finished with a quick guided practice. 
 
Emily Kessler is a meditation teacher. She found meditation 7 years ago on a trip to Asia. Over the past 2 years, she has taught meditation to hundreds of individuals, small groups, & corporations.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Lorrie Gray and to speak with her about mindset. Mindset is a very tricky thing. The definition of mindset is the established set of attitudes held by someone. That is so hard to change to more of a positive mindset you can change your life. As we all know it is not that easy. So I sit down with Lorrie and have a candid conversation about mindset.

Are you looking for your purpose? For the Dream? To live a life you want? For most of my life my purpose has been being a mom. I have had a hard time with “finding my purpose” now that my children are older and have started leaving the house, now what? 
I also think that maybe one is not looking for a life purpose but maybe we are looking  for our purpose at the moment.  On this episode of The Best of Me Podcast I will talk about one way you can look to find your purpose at the moment.
