Her Pursuit - Motherhood, Habits, and Intentional Living

Yep, you read that right! Grab you ear buds, mama, it's story time.
Have you ever thought, "I wish I could just get away for a night or two and hang out with some girlfriends or even just be alone!"? In today's episode I'm sharing why I decided to get away for a weekend... alone *gasp* and why you should give yourself permission to do the same.

Motherhood can be a lot. t can sometimes be overwhelming and heavy and draining. And while it's important to make small pockets of alone time a regular thing, sometimes life happens, and those things aren't always a regular occurrence.

What would happen if you took a weekend trip alone? Make sure you're in the community group! I have a feeling these discussions are going to be good. And if you've taken a trip away with friends or alone, come on in and tell us all about your experience! Join us here.

Listen to episode 22 here on time blocking. 

Today is part 1 of a February series I'm calling "Loving You". Each week we will talk about a topic on how to love YOURSELF well. And what better topic to kick off this series than the ever popular "self care". We've all heard it said, "self care isn't selfish", but do we actually believe that we're worth making ourselves a priority? And if so, HOW do we actually do that?

Today we're talking about all things self care as moms who often feel stretched too thin and prioritize ourselves last. We've all heard about it and pretty much know what it is. But have we lost sight of the importance of actually living it out in our lives as busy moms? Is there a spiritual significance for the Christian mom? It's easy to hear about something so many times that we eventually aren't even phased - it goes in one ear and out the other. But, today I want to discuss what self care actually is, how you can practically make more time for yourself within your week, and why it matters as a mama of faith.

PLEASE NOTE **  At the 9:10 mark when I say "refer you to 'him' in prayer", I am obviously talking about going to God in prayer. Not Paul. But the way I worded it sounds kind of confusing.

At 13:50 mark when I'm discussing the Proverbs 31 woman, I want to add that while yes, she is a woman of trade, with her own business dealings, I absolutely do not think there is anything wrong with being a "stay at home mom". I don't think this passage is telling us that we have to be a "mompreneur" but from the reading we can take away that she was. There is absolutely purpose to be walked out as stay at home mamas and listening back I don’t feel I did a good job of explaining that! I apologize. As always I want to encourage you to go straight to scripture to see what God shows YOU about this passage!***

In today’s episode, we’re talking all things mindset. Do you struggle with mindset or negative thoughts? Do you ever feel like the mean girl in your mind bosses you around or even bullies you? What would it look like to take control of your thoughts and begin to tell your thoughts what to think? How is this possible and where do you even start? Today I’m giving some practical advice for getting back in the driver’s seat and taking control of your thoughts and mindset. 

If you feel stuck in a negative mindset or tend to take a glass half empty approach, then this episode is for you. You have a choice and you have the power to stand up to the negative thoughts that try to consume you and boss you around. Just because you think it doesn’t make it true, so let that empower you, mama! 

There are so many good truth bombs in this episode, like why you should start to question the narrative you may have had on repeat for majority of your life and reminding you that YOU get to decide what you believe about yourself and those around you. What story will you tell yourself about who you are and your life?

Let’s rewrite your narrative, friend. Because you only get one life. You only get one shot at motherhood. Don’t let it pass you by just barely surviving each day. You can thrive in motherhood and life right now, right where you are if you can learn to master your mindset. There is so much freedom and abundance waiting for you to step into. These practical tips will encourage you and get you started! And I promise it’s much simpler than you think!

Becoming a mom is one of the most difficult transitions we make as women. Whether you struggled from the beginning or had a hard time transitioning from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3, adjusting to mom life is HARD. Motherhood can consume you quick, fast, and in a hurry, but you don’t have to stay in that place of survival. Today we’re talking about how to find yourself after becoming a mom. If you ever look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourself, this episode will encourage and inspire you to find yourself again (through baby steps, of course!). I’ll give you 5 very practical, very simple things you can do to find yourself in motherhood. After my first delivery ended in an emergency c-section, I felt like my life had been uprooted, thrown around, and spit out into a million pieces. I was completely lost and had no idea who I was. Struggling with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety, I spiraled for nearly a year before asking for help and doing the work to find myself again. I hope today's episode encourages you and reminds you that YOU matter, friend!
