146. How To Stop Giving In and Always Buying More Stuff For Our Kids and Ourselves - with Robyn Reynolds

We all pretty much struggle with too much clutter in our homes. Today we try to address one of the root issues of how we get there... our buying habits that get us into trouble of constantly bringing new stuff to pile up in our house. 
It can start in the store with caving into our tantrum throwing children who won't stop asking for a toy or candy or whatever it is they decide to obsess over. Then it's the all too easy access to a quick amazon purchase...And the closet is a whole other beast to tackle...
Well we go over some practical shifts in our mindset and expectation around buying items for our homes. And this includes some aha moments including the pyschology of the cocktail dress you will hear at the end. 
You're going to feel a lot more empowered to slow the accumulation of stuff in your home after listening to today's awesome conversation!

144. How To Have Routines With Your Kids When Your Schedule Is Always Different - ”What”, Not ”When” Routines

 
Mom guilt is never in short supply... there's always something we feel guilty about not doing better. A lot of that can come into play based on what we think our daily routines should look like.Today, we explore the power of prioritizing meaningful moments with your children over rigid routines, especially when your changing schedule doesn't accommodate the same routine each day. You'll learn how to create memorable experiences throughout your day by shifting your perspective from "when" things have to happen to "what" type of things are most important to include in your day.
Being intentional with your "what" and flexible with your "when" can change everything for your daily schedules. Tune in and be inspired to make your own variety of routines that work for you and your family.
And don't forget to get on the email list so we can share what's working and what's not as you test out options.

141. Practice Makes Progress... Not Perfection

Today we talk about changing one word that has a huge impact in the lessons you teach your kids. A massive shift in the expectations you place on them and yourself.
A seemingly harmless phrase- "practice makes perfect" is something that is said all too often. Perfections sets up the opportunity to always find failure. Progress allows us continual opportunities to explore, learn and grow. 
Let's talk about the power of switching out just one word...
Let me know what you think by emailing or DM-ing me. And if you enoyed today's chat or a previous one, please leave a review so others know what to expect when they listen in to this podcast. Many thanks friend!

140. Are You A Working Mom or A Mom Who Works? The Journey Of Doing It All... - with Jenna Worthen of Mom Who Works

If you consider yourself a working mom at any capacity then you need to hear today's conversation. We're breaking down what it means to be a working mom and the shifts to make to better balance our work and motherhood.
We're going to redefine what you want your motherhood to look like. If you don't define YOUR "all" then you end up doing EVERYONE ELSES "all"...
There are so many insights today including the 3 cycles of womanhood and what to do when you feel like you've dropped the ball on some good projects. 
 
Jenna Worthen is the author of Mom Who Works and founder and chief curator for an online, global organization of the same name. Exhausted by the label “working mom” and all the things that come with it—unnecessary bias, mom guilt, lesser pay and career mobility, and more—Worthen sought a new identifier for women who work. Thus, the phrase “mom who works” was born.
The Mom Who Works community serves more than 2,500 women who want to redefine what it means to be a working mom in a world without working dads. Focused on the intersection of motherhood and career-hood, Mom Who Works hosts in-person events, digital retreats, and weekly engagement and discussion with more than 2,500 women through its platforms on Instagram, Facebook, and email.
