It's no secret we love the tickets...BUT as with everything...it can get out of hand...

Okay...even a LOT out of hand.

Here are the boundaries I've set to keep our ticket system working for us, not the other way around.

• Ticket Boundaries (00:30)
• Recap (12:42)

Get the tickets guide, which includes pages of Q&As and over 100 incentive ideas, ranging from free to big, hairy, and audacious prizes! 

Plus, you get editable templates to create incentive lists like the ones in my stories.

And beautiful mommas, never forget…

YOU are doing beautiful work!

Caveat: Listen...if you're deep in a survival season...if you're putting your underwear on inside out because you're getting dressed in the dark and only half alive...if your idea of a well-rounded meal looks like a cup of coffee...that's been cold for hours...

This podcast is for future you...and we promise she's coming...

If you're coming out of the fog...

If you have a little more energy and capacity

If you feel like you're ready to lay some great foundations for your kids (and frankly...for you!)

Then this podcast is for today you or any mom friends you know who might be in this stage as well (the annoying one you love to hate, but also kind of look up to, and want to be).

The 4 levels of mastery is the hack I've used to introduce life skills to my children year after year. 

And they apply to literally everything...

Cooking

Cleaning

Chores (scouring bathrooms, mopping floors, cleaning areas)

Social skills

Shopping

Errands (post office, returns)

Phone calls

Choose any topic and use these 4 steps...

• Observer (02:35)
• Helper (04:15)
• Leader (05:45)
• Doer (09:15)

It IS time. 

But the payoff is incredible. 

The majority of parenting is front-loaded, and when you teach a 7-year-old how to make an egg using these 4 steps...they can now serve their family making breakfast for years to come. And each time you do this, you add to the 'wholeness of your child and your family.

Jon Acuff says that if you want a kind 16-year-old, teach a 6-year-old kindness and give them 10 years to practice.

We couldn't agree more.

If you want an easy guide to print with the steps on it and an adorable certificate to light up your child's pride or to add to their homeschool portfolio, we added one in there, too. Grab the link here!

Hey, sweet mommas, I'm here to talk about my illustrious NO. Day.

Let's discuss what has become one of my favorite mom decisions of 2024—and possibly the last five years.

There was a big movement after the Yes Day movie came out to incorporate being a YES mom into our lives. I don't know about you, but I'm already a yes mom. I say yes to 1,000 requests a day. Neither my kids nor I needed me to find more ways to say yes each day or to create a day where I give in to every whim my kids have, but it did make an adorable, albeit impractical, movie.

What I really needed for my sanity- and I would say, for my family! —was a day when I could say no, guilt-free, to the extras we're always squeezing in and instead say yes to the things on my to-do list that weren't red-tag items.

It might be a little brutal if you don't know the theory behind red-tag items, but you'll get the reference to motherhood after I explain it...

• A Triage Tag (01:50)
• Setting the Stage (03:17)

We'd be lying if we didn't admit we've giggled over our guest’s business name.

It's actually downright brilliant. Equal parts funny and straight to the point.

Jenn Lormand is bringing some fire today mixed with humor, hope, and healing.

She's a published researcher, exercise physiologist, and author.  AND she's been living and thriving with Stage 2 prolapse for the last ten years. 

After being told an invasive surgery was her only hope following her third birth, Jenn was determined to create her own solution. Together with her Tighten Your Tinkler cofounder (PT + manual integrative therapist Christina Walsh), Jenn developed a new movement-based protocol that allowed her to reverse her pelvic floor symptoms.

Before going online in 2019, Jenn and her business partner Christina helped hundreds of New Orleans women reduce and eliminate pelvic floor issues. 

The Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy featured their research, confirming the effectiveness of their protocol at ending pee leaks, back pain, and painful sex – WITHOUT kegels or trendy internal vaginal devices.

The Tinkler mission is to inspire hope and healing – helping women to heal holistically so they can show up fully present for their lives through at-home programs that are non-invasive and kegel-free.

Everybody knows the excitement of a brand new curriculum...a brand new year...all that hope...

But in reality, the honeymoon phase ends for everything. Even the very best of relationships...because we grow, we learn, we mature...and so does our homeschool.

But growing pains are a real thing and so is homeschool fatigue.

So how do we combat that...come February when we've picked ourselves up after the holidays and we've gotten into a groove finally, but we're all still dragging.

One of the most significant issues we've encountered in our homeschools and hear about often from other moms is the overwhelming feeling of getting to everything each day and fighting the kids to do it.

Now, we're not just referring to arguing and out-and-out fighting...but the silent fight of mentally competing with all the to-dos in our heads and kids who have gone to the bathroom 10 times already or sat for 37 minutes just making doodles on their page, or left to "get something" only for you to realize they've been missing for 2 years...

All these silent little fights will wear down a homeschool mom to her very core.

We know. Believe us.

The best way to combat this is to simplify.

• Simplify (01:40)
• A Super Simple System (03:20)
• Why the Clipboard System Works (03:40)
• Clipboards vs. Spiral Notebooks (14:20)
• Invitation (18:50)
