Conversations with Tai

Join  me for a conversation with Jade Simmons, a Classical Pianist and motivational storyteller. We discuss purpose, the challenges moms face when trying to live a life built upon the purpose that lives within them, and why it's necessary to share your purpose with the world.

If you've been a mom for longer than a a day, chances are you have felt or are constantly feeling some version of mom-guilt. We love our children so much, want to provide the best for them, but we have 80 million other things pulling on us and so often no matter how much we do it just feels like it's not enough. 

Well, we deserve better. We deserve better than to guilt ourselves into believing that we aren't doing a great job, that we aren't cut out for the business of being a mom, and that everyone else is doing it better. 

On this episode, let's talk about some ways to get out of the guilt loop.

Here are a few journal questions that have helped me along the way:

1. Awareness: What am I feeling guilty about? Does what I'm doing or what I've done hurt someone or go against my values? If so, what triggered me?

2. Expectations: Are the expectations I hold for myself reasonable for this season of my life?

3. Communication: Do the people who truly matter feel the same way about the situation I'm feeling guilty about? (Don't assume, discuss.)

4. Self-talk: What self-talk have I noticed that makes me feel worse? What self-talk can I practice that would be helpful?

5: How does judging myself so harshly hurt me and the relationships I have with people who matter? 

Give yourself a break, mama. You're doing a good job!

Time is one of the greatest obstacles we face when working towards our goals. The reality is, there isn't enough of it for EVERYTHING, but there is certainly enough for the things that matter most.

Happy New Year! Happy 2022!

If you're anything like a lot of people (and myself), you want to be excited about setting some goals for the year, but you feel stuck. Sometimes we get stuck in the process of creating new goals because we didn't quite achieve the old ones we set. 

In this episode, let's discuss 5 habits that will increase your joy and fulfillment this year. These five habits are a good framework for developing goals and resolutions for the year and beyond.

So, if you feel behind, that's ok. Greatness takes time and you're building something great!!

In this short episode on the last day of 2021, let's wrap up our convo on burnout and discuss why it truly matters... our kids.

When we are honest with ourselves and begin to address our own burnout and the healing we need to do to fight back against it, we can end the cycle of burnout for future generations.

Burnout is a real concern that can have devastating effects on every aspect of our lives. For so long, when you hear "burnout" you think of it in terms of work, but what about the burnout we can experience right at home? 

On this episode, our guest, Zani Tolentino discusses with us how burnout can effect every one,  at work or at home, and women are most susceptible to it. 

Zani is a Certified Holistic Life Strategies Coach and recovered, life long "over-worker". After suffering the effects of burnout as a new and working mom, she studied natural was to overcome stress. Zani now helps overworked women holistically go from "burnout to zen"!

Join us for a conversation between two working moms who have both experienced burnout, constantly work to overcome it, and help you do the same.

Today, as we head into the last few weeks of 2021, I want to discuss the  phenomenon of burnout in motherhood. Everyone is susceptible to it, no matter if you work outside of the home, work from home, or if your full-time work is home. Exhaustion and burnout are at an all-time high over the past 2 years and we should all know that we are not alone in our fight against it. 

In this Episode we'll talk about what burn out looks and feels like, and next week we'll collect some tools for overcoming and preventing it.

In this first installation of the 5-minute Sat Chat, let's discuss comparison of the present-day version of ourselves with some past version.

You can never go back to the person you were before but you can use everything you learned as that version of yourself to  build the best version of yourself moving forward.

Just a quick intro to give an idea of what to expect from and get you exited about The BUILDHer Show. This podcast has been locked in my mind for so long, behind the walls of doubt and fears. Together we will break down the framework that keeps us stuck, write a new plan, and build a life that feels really good.
