I recently polled the AMAZING Blossoming Mommy and Baby community and found that approximately 65% of you are experiencing loneliness in your motherhood journey. WOW, momma, this hit me in the heart and truly got me thinking about how I can support you in finding outlets and plug-ins within your communities, and of course, within the Blossoming Mommy and Baby community as well. For starters, I’m tackling this topic on the show today by breaking down some tangible and achievable activities that you can begin implementing into your everyday life TODAY. The categories I will break down for you today consist of, tips on how to build your circle, healthy ideas and options surrounding virtual support and technology, various ways you can plug into your community, and how to create more structure. I hope this episode is helpful to you, momma, and that you are already on your way to a feeling of belonging, support, and love by the wonderful communities surrounding you.

You aren’t alone momma, join me today and let’s do this #momlife TOGETHER!

Today’s episode is the bonus of all bonuses, as we are tackling an extremely important topic: helping our children step into who God has called them to be. The impact we have on our children is HUGE and we have been blessed with the opportunity and responsibility to influence their identity, who they are, and what they think about themselves daily.

Today I’m joined by the lovely Aubrey Hargis and we are talking about the Montessori approach to parenting! More specifically we are diving deep on the following topics: your child’s behavior and parenting, technology, nature, and spaces in your home for your kids to THRIVE. As a momma, a former teacher (in the classroom), a current homeschool mom, a parent coach and consultant, and Author, Aubrey is a WEALTH of knowledge surrounding the topic of parenting.

For those of you that have not heard, the BMAB brand was provided the opportunity to collaborate with Kindred Bravely (our favorite maternity wear brand) in designing a Blossom edition bra + swaddle! The French Terry design is perfect for nursing mommas AND it’s still comfortable and supportive to wear beyond the nursing journey! The beautiful, floral print was created with the amazing BMAB community in-mind throughout every step of the process.

Festive cooking and Hallmark Christmas movies can only mean one thing, THE HOLIDAYS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! Whether that makes you jump for joy or cringe, this season can be detrimental to our health in so many ways. That is why I’m diving deep on the topic of staying ON TRACK this holiday season with your mind, money, and body! I have 3 major tips today that will help you enjoy, participate, and indulge (with moderation) without completely falling off the wagon this holiday season!

On today’s show I am joined by the amazing blogger, author, wife, and momma of 2, Phylicia Masonheimer! Phylicia wears A LOT of hats with her business, ministry, and personal life, and through it all, she’s identified some productivity hacks along the way and is here to share them with us today! She remains steadfast at making sure she’s taking the time to open her Bible and incorporate those learnings into her business and life on a regular basis.

Today in our Real #Momtalk episode, we are unpacking the topic of easing the stress of motherhood. Sometimes it can feel like an unconquerable task and that’s why Courtney and I are here today to tackle this topic, sharing tips, tricks, and “in real life” moments and events we are confronted with and how we handle it. It’s so important that we can identify seasons of excessive stress and the impact that has on our physical and emotional health, and then ultimately manage it better.

If you missed the big news, I AM PREGNANT again with baby Blossom #2 and I’m telling you ALL about it on the show today! This episode is packed full of details surrounding that VERY special moment I found out that Brody was going to be a big brother!! I’ll share some of the differences I’ve already noticed between my two pregnancies, how long it took me to get pregnant, how I found out I was pregnant, pregnancy must-haves, AND my hilarious, not-so-Pinterest-perfect announcement to Brian.

Have you ever wondered what this “Montessori” thing is all about?Many of us have heard of Montessori schools and perhaps some of you already have your children attending a Montessori style school or childcare setting, and that’s why I’ve invited Jeanne Marie Paynel to help break down this topic so we are fully understanding the concept of Montessori style parenting.

Hey Momma, I have a question for you…when was the last time you sat down and compiled a list of your emotions and feelings? This may sound basic or even a bit tedious, but taking the time to sit down, write down, and gain a better understanding of the feelings and emotions you experience throughout life is POWERFUL. It’s literally impossible to grow and achieve long-term healing if you aren’t identifying or understanding your emotions from the start.
