February 09, 2024 113. Comparison, Postpartum Depression & Going Back to Counseling
Postpartum has been rough. I figured we should talk about it, because regardless of whether you’re in a postpartum season or even a mom at all, we all struggle. We all have moments of insecurity and wondering how we measure up. Unfortunately, comparison isn’t doing us many favors. In this episode, we’re talking about comparison, the pressure we feel to do or be more, how to recognize lies and embrace the truth, and rediscovering motivation in the simple things. We miss out on the goodness right here in the middle when we focus on all the things we’re not, what we don’t have, or where we wish we were instead. I hope you feel encouraged to embrace your season and trust that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be!

December 15, 2023 108. 3 Things You Need to Make 2024 Your BEST Year Yet
It’s that time of year… People all over are about to start setting their New Years resolutions and if you’ve been around for a while, you know those are a pet peeve of mine. If you haven’t listened to the episode about why I think they don’t work, you can find it here (highly recommend).
The problem is: people want to change their behavior without changing the thought progression behind it. So in today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 3 KEY INGREDIENTS for making 2024 your best year yet:
MINDSET, VISION, and sustainable GOALS (aka intentions) that will actually serve you longterm and equip you for becoming all that God has created you to be!
If this episode resonated with you and you could use some extra support with mindset and getting that clear vision for your life, let’s chat! I’d love to work with you through a 1:1 coaching session where we can identify the obstacles that are standing in your way and craft an intentional plan, breaking down your goals into manageable steps that lead to tangible results. :)
