Back to School for Mom's

Are you one of the millions of people that set 'new years resolutions' on January 1st? Do you even remember what your resolution was last year? In today's episode of the Back To School Podcast, we are discussing goal setting and what have been effective for Hayley and for her husband Weston, who joins the show. There are millions of people who are not resolute with their goals. Don't be one of them!

We lie to everyone around us everyday without even realizing it. Everyone lies for different reasons, normally to protect themselves. But the biggest lies we tell are to ourselves. Can you be 100% honest to yourself about anything? In today's podcast we talk about the importance of being violently committed to telling yourself and others the truth. I discuss my own experience of being 100% honest with my husband about my spending and food addictions. We mothers have so many things on our plates, let's not add living in fantasy land to them!

We've all had those thoughts of "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" followed closely by "I'm a horrible mother." Today we are discussing what it's like to be a mother while doing school and/or work and having kids that are acting out. The growth process is painful, necessary and says absolutely nothing about you as a mother.

You will always judge yourself worse than others will judge you. The loudest voice in your ears is your own. Today I talk about my method for getting rid of the judgmental voice in my head and why it works. I promise, it changes things in a MAJOR way!

Hey guys!!! It's been such a long time! I had to take a break and learn some really amazing things about myself and about how to be a woman in today's day and age. I've learned how to be a business woman and a mom and a wife and a provider without totally losing my MIND! I'm so glad to be back!!

This episode we discuss what is and what is not 'me time' for mom's. Because sometimes the 'me time' the media gives us isn't actually relaxing, but stressful!

I didn't understand the importance of Image Management until I was an adult, but it is very important. This weeks episode we discuss how to sculpt your image so that you are presenting your best self forward.

We continue our discussion about how to save money by shopping thrifty for household items and goods. I share my tips and tricks on how to find great items in thrift stores, from $150 shoes for just $5, and a 5 piece sectional for just $150. I love the treasure hunt that is thrift shopping!

If you follow me on Facebook, instagram, you've seen the amazing haul I've gotten from grocery shopping or thrift shopping in general. It is my version of an adult treasure hunt and a favorite activity of mine, finding that one great deal. In this weeks episode I discuss my favorite time saving and money saving programs that will get your out the door and saving money in just 1 HOUR. The websites discussed in this episode are: www.grocerysmarts.com and krazycouponlady.com

Have you ever felt like all you get from your sons teachers or leaders is that he is a problem? We just started our oldest in public Kindergarten and it is a weekly occurrence that I get a message through the class chat from his teacher about something he's been doing. Our children that are energetic, problem-solvers, or defenders are being treated like defects in the public education system. What do we do about it? We talk about that in today's episode.
