116 | No Time, No Energy, No Problem: 5 Simple Ways to Create Connection with Your Kids


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're running on empty as a mom? You're not alone—and you don’t need more time, more energy, or a picture-perfect routine to be a great mom. In this episode of Prioritize With Purpose, Danielle shares 5 simple, joy-filled ways to build meaningful connection with your kids—even in the middle of mom life chaos.

These easy at-home ideas are designed to bring back presence, peace, and emotional balance without requiring elaborate plans, lots of prep, or extra pressure. From messy kitchen science (hello, Oobleck!) to impromptu dance parties, snack picnics, and cozy fort story time—this episode reminds you that love lives in the little things.

If you’ve been stuck in self-doubt, perfectionism, or decision fatigue, this is your permission slip to stop striving and start connecting. Because you—exactly as you are—are enough.

🎧 In This Episode:

  • Why creating connection doesn’t require more time or energy

  • Easy, low-effort activities that create lasting memories

  • How play and laughter can shift your emotional state and theirs

  • The truth about being present vs. doing it all

  • Encouragement for the mom who feels overwhelmed or burnt out

  • A fun and simple sensory activity that doubles as science!

    🧪 Oobleck Recipe (a guaranteed giggle-maker):

    • 1 cup of cornstarch

    • ½ cup of water

    • A few drops of food coloring (optional but fun!)

      Mix ingredients together slowly in a bowl. The mixture will feel solid when squeezed and melt into a liquid when released. It’s messy, magical, and memory-making gold. Just maybe avoid the carpet. 😉

      💛 These simple moments aren’t just fun—they’re foundational. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up with love.
