Mama Needs More

Welcome to Season 3 of Mama Needs More! We're back with a new lineup of shows starting with today's episode on learning to set boundaries. This is such an important topic for overwhelmed moms. Learning to set boundaries helps you protect your energy, lowers stress, models positive behaviours for your children, increases your self-worth, and so much more.

In the episode, I start by explaining what boundaries are. This is because before you can work on the how you need to know the what. I offer strategies to know the difference between a hell yes and a hell no, and tips on how to deal with those pesky boundary pushers, and any feelings of guilt.

So pop those headphones in and click play!

Key Topics

• Get clarity on what the word boundaries really means. (04:35)
• Discovering what your boundaries are. You need the what before you can tackle the how. (08:18)
• How to implement boundaries starting with understanding the difference between a HELL YES and a HELL NO. (14:45)
• Going deep on boundary setting with these 5 key steps. (19:50)

In today's episode, I dig into the topic of the inner child and how to reparent her. We all have an inner child. She doesn't live in the past. Many of the emotions you feel today as an adult – positive and negative – are what she felt and learned growing up. This means she is very present.

It's the negative emotions I focus on in today's show. When you're triggered by your children, you might feel enraged or very frustrated. It may be that you feel unseen, unheard, misunderstood, not good enough or all of the above. It's likely you felt this way as a child as well. In the present, these emotions come bubbling up to the surface when your kids don't listen to you.

These are not the only times your inner child might show up. She can also pop up when you feel you don't belong or you feel the need to prove yourself to others, for example.

Overall, I talk about how you can reparent her, heal past wounds and move forward to better support your development and that of your kids.

Key Topics

• What is the inner child? (03:16)
• Why your inner child might come up and what she really needs. (09:24)
• Steps to reparent your inner child, heal your wounds and move forward with your life. (11:46)

Today's episode takes a slightly different approach compared to my shows. This is because of the amount of information coming out about the negative impact screen time can have on our brains. And by our brains, I'm not just talking about the adult brain, but also our kids. Areas that are hit the most are important things like sleep, mental health, education, resilience, perseverance and creativity.

But like you, I struggle to cut my kids off completely. Screen time often feels like a moment of self-care when everyone is calm and quiet in the house. How wonderful! Yet, I feel it's only fair for you to hear about the downside of parking you or your little ones and teens in front of the shiny boxes.

In the show, I dive into what the research is saying, offer some examples of what the tech gurus do with screen time and their kids and share ways you can counter the effects of screen time.

Key Topics:

• The negative impact screen time has on mental health, education and sleep. (08:36)
• How to counter effects screen time. (18:06)

In today's short and sweet episode, I discuss a quote I needed to hear to get me out of my head. Do you ever have this? You're watching TV or listening to music and you hear something that feels like it was meant specifically for you. This is exactly what I felt. In this case, it's about snapping at your kids, beating yourself up because you've been working so hard on yourself, and then wondering how this is possible after all your hard work.

The quote reminded me that no matter how much personal growth you've been doing, it's normal to fall back sometimes. We're all a work in progress. The key is to go easy on yourself.

Key Topics

• The quote and the whole purpose of this episode. (1:51)

In today's episode, I talk about an experience where I quickly judged another parent. His daughter was feeling emotionally overwhelmed (a.k.a. having a temper tantrum) and oh, I had some judgment going on about his response. In the show, I explain the story and my realization at that moment that I am also an imperfect parent, which is ok.
Perfection is not what we're aiming for as parents, and we shouldn't even try. Good is great and good enough!

When it comes to understanding our emotions and those of our kids, it can be hard, especially if you never received proper tools and support when you were a child. To help with getting out of emotional overwhelm, I provide some strategies that can be used by you and your child, including a teenager.

Key Topics

• The story of what happened that resulted in me quickly judging another parent. (6:00)
• When I realized I am also an imperfect parent. (8:15)
• Strategies to help your kids get out of feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Tip: Many of these work for you and your teens too. (15:03)
• Why kids might feel emotionally overwhelmed. (22:30)

This episode is a vulnerable one where I share my recent experience facing my fear... public speaking. In the episode, I talk about an opportunity I had to speak in front of hundreds of people.

Instead of sinking deeper into a black hole, I turned to lessons learned. I share these lessons along with tips for how you can step out of your negative thoughts and move forward knowing you've got this!

As great as it would be to have a miracle way to know exactly what you're purpose is, it doesn't work like this for most people. In today's episode, I share some no-BS info on the hype that is finding your purpose, while offering you 10 steps to discover yours.

One thing I point out is that you do not need to have a flashy purpose for all to see. A purpose is about what fills you up most of the time, whether it's big or small. Remember, if you're a mom, you already have one massively important purpose.

Key Topics

• Discovering your purpose requires you to believe you have a purpose in the first place. (3:30)
• The first 9 steps to finding your purpose (9:31)
• The 10th, most important step and the key to discovering who you are and what your purpose is. (14:34)
