You have permission to spend all the time you need to mother yourself. Whatever self-care looks like for you, when you put yourself first, you’ll create a happier, healthier household that lets you enjoy motherhood even more! I’m joined by Bryce Reddy from The Mom Brain Therapist to talk about why you should prioritize mothering yourself.

Bryce Reddy is a licensed mental health counselor and mom of 2 living in coastal New England. 

Bryce encourages moms to get used to mothering themselves. Yes - taking the time to give yourself as much love and attention as you give your children. Bryce says that when you take dedicated time with yourself every single day, you’ll enjoy motherhood even more.

Because motherhood can be exhausting! You hear all the time to fill your own cup first. That’s exactly what mothering yourself is: doing what you need to do to feel like a normal person again will help you show up in a more present and happier place for not only yourself, but your kids, too.

When it comes to self-care, Bryce explains why it doesn’t always have to look at these huge events, like going to the spa. Self-care is anything you need it to be, even something as seemingly small as getting to shower without your kids in the bathroom with you!

How relatable is everything Bryce said? What’s your favorite way to practice self-care? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!

“Dedicating myself and tending to my own needs as part of my daily life, and those routines that I invested myself in, allowed me to enjoy motherhood in a more consistent way. When my own needs were met, I was able to show up in a more present, happier place for my kids and for myself.” [7:20]

“Nothing changes if nothing changes. If only one person knows that there’s a problem, we need to rethink our communication approach.” [15:00]

“Always just believe that you are worth it. You are worth taking care of, even if that’s just from yourself. Mothering yourself is a valuable and worthy enterprise.” [25:11]

About Essential Oils

Amy joins me today to share how she transformed hers and her family’s entire lifestyle by embracing essential oils. After she had a miscarriage, she realized she was using so many unnecessary chemicals in her household.

Amy started her journey to wellness using essential oils and now, not only does she help other busy mamas use oils in their home, she helps them change their mindset and embrace their authentic selves.

On the topic of our kids, Amy lets us know the safe practices to using essential oils with them. From diluting the oils for applying topically to dosage for a mister, there are safe ways to help support your little ones.

Finally, we talk about the mindset of following your passion as a busy mama bear. The first thing you need to do? Stop comparing yourself to other boss mamas you see on social media. Be your own, unique self and find your joy!

Does this resonate with you? Have you started using essential oils to eliminate the toxins in your house? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!

“I want to encourage anyone out there listening, if you’re feeling stuck or you’re feeling in a dark period in your life, lean into it. You have no idea what opportunity is going to present you in the end.” [6:05]

“Ensure you’re choosing a brand that is 100% pure and that the company can prove via tests that they have pure essential oils.” [9:20]

“If there’s an oil you can’t stand the smell of, oftentimes it means, on an emotional level, that’s an area you need more support in or you need to work through.” [19:34]

Juggling your career around motherhood isn’t easy. The pressures of maximizing your time so you aren’t consumed with work and leaving your work behind so you can be fully present with your children can bring on a lot of stress, overwhelm and mom guilt. 

It reminds me of this quote I once read: “You want me to work like I’m not a mom and you want me to mom like I don’t work.” 

So how do you do it without losing your mind or even throwing up your hands and giving up? 

Today I chat with a very successful boss mama, Ange Loughran, and her daughter, Arabella Poxon, to dive into this challenge a bit more. We explore what type of mindset it takes as a boss mama, lessons learned for protecting your energy and dialing down mom guilt as well as one thing you should be doing right now if you’re feeling overwhelmed. And Arabella shares what it was like growing up with a busy boss mama, including the highs and lows. She also shares more about her passions and her mindset hurdles as a teenager which have developed her into the lady she is today. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!

What is your relationship like with money? Many women we talk to live with serious limiting beliefs when it comes to money. Which is why we caught up with Sohila Zadran, co-founder of Fem Patch, a wellness lab aimed at empowering everyone to have access to products that are affordable and eco-friendly. 

As a  savvy investor and entrepreneur who has successfully exited two of her previous companies, Sohila talks about what numbers are important for your business, what should you be keeping track of and what tools help that won’t break the bank. She also shares the ONE TOOL you should be using right now, even as a small business, and we also briefly discuss the disadvantages we have as women looking for investors and how she has been able to navigate this tricky landscape. Even if you aren’t considering the investor route, you may find it eye opening to learn more about this typically male dominated industry.

During the podcast we discussed ‘Lucy’, the AI tool Sohila and her team have created to help manage wellness calls 24/7. They are currently looking for beta users who will take a FREE 10  min call so they can record and capture data which will help Lucy take on more human traits (e.g. emotion).

In today's episode I talk to actress and author, Austin Highsmith Garces, about her experience as a child with a rare disease and how her role on Dolphin's Tale 1 and 2 unleashed her purpose to write a best seller book, "Miracle Tree." It is a story inspired by her own experience that aims to empower parents of sick children to redefine the stigma around hospitals and what it means to create a special experience despite the worry-some circumstances. 

This interview is full of inspiring stories of how a family's love is all a child really needs and how to persevere through life's toughest obstacles. Buy her book on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles and a portion of the sales goes to the The Miracle Tree Foundation set up by Austin to financially support Doctors, Scientists, researchers and NGOs to study and develop rare diseases.
