“Self-love is dynamic; it grows through actions that mature us.”  For the rest of the month of February I am going to explore this idea of self love.  In this episode I talk about developing more self - love and trust through keeping commitments we make to ourselves.  I share some ideas on ways we can take small steps and really decide what we want, not what we think we should be doing. Finally at the end making sure we put our own twist on the commitment, goal or habit so we can really take ownership of what we want to accomplish.  It's amazing how the little things can make all the difference.

“I miss my mom’s encouragement to do significant and impactful things.”  Since my Mom’s birthday is coming up I am indulging a bit and sharing 10 things that I miss (as well as some of my family too) about my mom.  Things like, going on walks or going shopping to having her come and clean my house.  It is funny the things I miss and today I appreciate a lot of the things she did that I probably didn’t before.  So bear with me today as I feel some feels and share some thoughts about my mom and a few things I miss about her now that it’s been 6 months since she passed away.

“You can’t measure your worth by someone else’s results.  That is powerless.  What my kids ultimately choose is really out of my control.”  What does it mean to be a good mom?  It is a question many moms and parents ask all the time myself included.  In this episode I share some thoughts and new revelations I have learned about how you even measure that idea.  I also tell some stories of when I think I have been a good mom or bad mom depending on what my kids have done.  Ultimately my message is that your worth as a mom should depend on what you do, not what your kids decide to do.
