Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 83: Finding our Inner Abundant Mama with Shawn Fink


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Shawn Fink, also known as Abundant Mama. She is a mom of eleven-year-old twin girls. We are discussing living a life of abundance in our parenting. Join us!

 

“For me, being awake is being engaged, being thoughtful, being very purposeful, living my values but also being present.”

“Mistakes are opportunities to learn.”

“Abundance is looking at your life and being grateful that you have enough, that you are enough and you do enough – but it’s much more than that. It’s become a lifestyle.”

“There is enough happiness, joy and love in the world for everybody.”

 

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Moving from scarcity to abundance mindsets – from jealousy to gratitude
  • Abundance as a way to mother yourself, be authentic and be aware of what’s around and within you
  • Being awesomely awake: paying attention to your life, being mindful and living intentionally
  • Self-care vs Soul-care – what’s the difference and how can it change your life and the way you see it?
  • Being present and discomfort – learning to navigate it vs as being a way to eliminate it
  • How to exercise self-compassion when you haven’t showed up in the way that you’ve hoped to
  • Modelling asking for forgiveness for your kids
  • The joys and challenges of raising tweens
  • Motherhood as self-invention
  • Learning to connect with your children as they grow – navigating relationship change
  • The value in letting kids fail when they need to – leaving room for life lessons and learning how to handle discomfort
  • The power of injecting playfulness into your routine and how it can be productive
  • Finding joy in obligation
  • Building habits for effectiveness in your parenting life
  •  

    What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

    Joyful Courage is the joyful ability to completely show up as yourself and be you, as a mom, it’s really hard because we are trying so hard to keep everyone else happy. There is nothing better for our kids than for them to see us being fully ourselves.
