  • Ep. 014 - Stress, Hormones, and Busy Mom Life with Dr. Heather Rhodes
    Let's face it, mom life is stressful! But how does that stress affect your body?   Today on The Anchored Motherhood Podcast we're discussing how stress directly affects our hormones, and then our hormones affect all the other things like weight, energy, and mood. Which then causes more stress.    It's time to break the cycle!    If diet and exercise just aren't getting the job done, and you're ready to take charge of your health in a more holistic way, this episode is for you!

  • Ep. 013 - Quick Win - How Automation Is Like Hitting The Mom Life Easy Button
    Do you wish you could find more time in your day? Well, you can't find time. You have to make it! And the very best way I've found to save time in my busy mom life is automation.     Errands can be such a time stealer, especially when you're running out for last minute items that you forgot the last time you went shopping. Make life easier by planning ahead, ordering online, and letting someone else do the shopping (and even delivery) for you.      In this episode, you'll learn how to get started with automation, so you can spend your time on the things that really matter!

  • Ep. 010 - Why Reasons Over Rules Are The Secret To Peaceful Parenting with Rebecca Lindenbach

    Do you ever wish you could step into your child's mind and see whether or not the things you say make an impact? There are so many parenting resources out there claiming to have the "key" to molding strong, independent kids who grow into successful adults, but how do you know if what you're doing is actually working?

     

    Today I'm chatting with author Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach about her book Why I Didn't Rebel. This isn't a typical parenting how-to guide. It's written from the perspective of young adults who are reflecting on their childhood, and giving insight into the parenting practices that created closer bonds between parents and their kids, versus those that pushed them to rebel. 

     

    This one is a must listen if you're curious to learn how reasons over rules are the secret to better parenting relationships.

  • Ep. 005 - Why It's Important For Moms To Have Their Own Dreams & Ambitions with Danielle Roberts
    Have you ever wondered why being a wife and mother isn't enough to give you a full and joyful life? Why those tiny people that you love so much still can't completely fill your contentment bucket?

    You were created to be in community and family, but you weren't only purposed for your role at home. When we get so caught up in one area of our lives, it's easy to put on our blinders and forget that God's plans for our lives are greater than our own. But it's up to us to get quiet and listen!

    Today, I'm talking to author and life coach Danielle Roberts about why it's important for moms to have their own dreams and ambitions. If you're looking for some fresh inspiration to help you create a life you love and start living on purpose, this is the episode for you!
