Bold and Balanced Mama

We are told from a young age that we have to dread our period, PMS is normal, and cramps are inevitable. This is so far from the truth and we are talking today about how you can start feeling better by lifestyle and food changes. Diet, lifestyle, sleep, and food choices, along with stress, as we know, effect our health. So our cycle and period will show you how well you are taking care of your body.

We can change the way we view social media and what we allow in our minds and in front of us. So we chat about simple shifts and habits to create in order to find freedom in viewing social media without succumbing to the ways of this world. We are free because Christ set us free, let's live in that freedom and be that light.

We have to make so many decisions a day and the decision fatigue is real. In this episode we talk about how to meal plan well with nourishing foods that fit your budget and goals as a family. We talk about what a balanced meal and snack looks like for you and the kids as well as examples of my own. Knowing when is the best time to shop and how often will help tremendously so that you're not overspending and making good choices for everyone. Then we dive into planning your week, your playdates, appointments, work times if you own a business, homeschooling, and your workouts too. Last thing we look and reflect on our weeks, what went well and what didn't? Taking time away from your phone, stop comparing and scrolling, and start taking back your life so you don't burn out as a mom. We were meant to thrive as moms and do this well, not just getting through the day stressed, hangry, snappy, and unhealthy. Enjoy the show!

There is so much that the world tells us about motherhood and we are often subscribing to the "burnt out mom" narrative.  Being a hot mess mom is no longer serving us and we are struggling because of it. This has been a dream of mine for years and I finally pulled the trigger after so many of you kept asking me to start this. God calls us to thrive and cherish this motherhood journey from a full cup and I am so excited to share more in this episode.
