Eve Unleashed

Pause Mama, a place where mental health, self care, and fun connect. Its a safe place for moms to show every part of themselves and heal through connection and sharing their experiences. We talk with Sarah Mecham about her mental health journey and how it led her to create Pause Mama. She teaches us how sharing our trials can help us grow to heal ourselves and others. 

Happy Mothers day! Today we wanted to talk about what really defines motherhood. It's not the housekeeping, the amount of time spent at home, the quality of food we cook, or the hundreds of other to dos and expectations we give ourselves. Its not even about having a baby. Motherhood is the divine relationship we have with other people. It's our potential and ability to touch others lives and change the world through love and caring for others. 

The last year has been unique and challenging for all of us. It has caused a lot of changes and need or new routines. We discuss the changes we have had and how being open to a reset is so beneficial to our mental health. 

We are back after spring break and we want to talk about how nobody, including us, knows what they are doing. 
It easy to get down on yourself because someone else has it all figured out. It easy to never start something because its something you have never done. The trick is realizing that at one point that person who is doing so well had no clue either!
Also, being humble enough to say, "I don't have all the answers" opens us up to having deeper conversations with people who have different views and opinions than us. We discuss changing the way we talk to others and finding space for all thoughts, feelings, and opinions, including our own. 

In this week's episode we talk all about body positivity.  We talk about our personal struggles with body positivity and the shaming surrounded around bodies.  Body positivity refers to the assertion that all people deserve to have a positive body image, regardless of how society and popular culture view ideal shape, size, and appearance. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

We are beyond excited to talk to Dr. Julie Hanks @drjuliehanks about gender roles and patriarchy. We need to change up how we look at responsibly in and outside the home and let go of the idea of "women's work and men's work".  We also talk about how to change this dynamic for our children and help them embrace whatever role they choose for themselves.

We had Tess @the.ennegram.mom join us to explain what The Enneagram is. She gives us a run down of each type, how to find your number, and why this personality assessment is so important. 
We believe that the Enneagram is the most important personality test you can take. It gives you the power to unlock who you have always been and who you are meant to be. Through understanding Enneagrams you not only will understand yourself but will also be able to understand everyone around you at a deeper level. 
If you know your Enneagram number let us know in the comments! 

We read the self help book "Fear is my Homeboy" by Judi Holler. 
Join us as we highlight our favorite stories and tips from the book. If you have read this book tell us what you think! 

So you've had a baby! Now what? This week, we talk about what they didn't tell us about what happens after delivery. We discuss our top favorite items that you really need at the hospital, and different tip we have found truly helpful after the delivery of your baby. 

Do you ever feel like your  relationship with God doesn't measure up? Do you feel like there is a near impossible checklist list of spiritual tasks that must be complete to have the right relationship with Him? We have both felt that way and wanted to let you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Also, God loves you right now, the way you are in this moment. 

Join us as we discuss some different ways we grow our relationship with God and heads up,  many of them are a little out of the box. God is not just for Sunday, but for every day of our messy, crazy, busy lives. Sometimes we just need to be a little creative in how we connect with Him. 

Please comment and let us know your unique ways that you grow your relationship with God.
