Both/And Motherhood

It's been a hot minute since my last episode as single mama summer summered this year, ;) but school starts back up tomorrow and I'm BACK! In this episode, I'm sharing what we’ve been up to this summer and a big new change in how I show up online and share value (as well as market) for my business. And I'm breaking down what that looks like, what it means for the podcast, and why I'm making the switch. I'm so pumped to be back with you (and getting back into the school routine!)

When you’re really working to create the life you desire in your personal life, motherhood, individuality, and business, yes, strategy IS an important piece there. But another BIG piece is mindset.

But when you’re overwhelmed, sleep deprived, under-resourced, or schedules change unexpectedly…it’s natural to slip into a not so positive headspace—even if you consider yourself a pretty positive person generally! And I know that time is extra limited during the summer when the kids are home.

That’s why I created this episode for you, using one of my favorite mindset practices to do when things are busy (like the summer!), sharing many of the exact affirmations I’m working on for myself lately—plus a few that have really resonated with my clients—because I think many of them will likely resonate with you as well.

So if you need a little mindset pick-me-up or just want some inspo for your own affirmations game, pop those earbuds in and listen to this as often as you want when it’s the most easeful for you!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How to customize these—or any!—affirmations so that they work for YOU and your brain better
• Some of my fave tweaks to try if affirmations haven’t generally worked well for you in the past
• My current favorite affirmations you can listen to on repeat (starting at 9:19)
• And THIS bonus tip to make them even more effective

Sure, you may have started your business with the idea of being your own boss or making more money or just trying to figure out how to work from home. But I’m willing to bet that it was actually the desire for FREEDOM of some sort that was underneath your path here. Sound true? 

Maybe it was the freedom to do something just for you, to work around your kids, to make money for yourself so that you weren’t dependent on a partner, or any other flavor…it’s usually there underneath this path to entrepreneurship.

I’m all about helping you create freedom in your life and business and I’d love for you to join me for this episode as I help you connect (or reconnect with!) YOUR version of both/and motherhood freedom, how to start embodying it, and why it’s so important to get clarity around. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Expanding and exploring the definition of freedom
• A mutually hard part and blessing of running your own business
• How I feel about the idea of “having it all”
• A breakdown of freedom vs your “why”
• How to find and connect—or reconnect—with YOUR version of both/and motherhood freedom so that you can cultivate it faster

Your motherhood is a huge part of who you are and the life that you live, and it’s also important to YOUR humans in your audience. But if you’re like me any many of my clients who resonate as introverted and/or shy, the thought of sharing your face let alone your kids and real life motherhood can feel confusing and terrifying.

That’s why I recorded this short (for me! ha!) episode for you breaking down several different ways you can share this part of yourself in your online presence while still maintaining you and your family’s privacy and safety, the “rules” I live by here, and why it’s important to share this (in a way that feels good to you).
