Today, on the Mission Motherhood Podcast, we're talking all about boundaries and how to confidently set them with our children (without the guilt.) 

Boundary setting is extremely important for many different reasons. However, we often let distorted messages in society as well as this unnecessary mom-guilt stop us from setting necessary boundaries with our children. This leaves mothers feeling more overwhelmed, touched out, and frustrated than necessary. This allows mothers to feel like their own boundaries and limitations no longer matter because they are mothers, which just isn't true. This can also lead to children not learning the importance of respecting other people's boundaries AND the importance of setting and respecting their own boundaries. 

As you can see, boundaries are a big deal, and that's why we're talking about it on today's episode. 

In this episode you will learn: 

1) Why boundaries are extremely important 

2) How to stop feeling guilty around setting boundaries 

3) 5 practical ways to set boundaries with confidence

In today's episode of the Mission Motherhood Podcast, I'm laying out my entire daily routine for you. A to Z. Soup to nuts. All the tea.

Many of you have asked me to do this for a while so I’m super excited for you to listen to this episode and get a very realistic idea of how I manage our daily routine that includes homeschooling, running my business, incorporating my self-care, partnering with my husband, managing my health, and more.

This episode answers everything.

How I use anchor times to keep me on track throughout the day

How I maintain the mindest of flexible, yet structured when it comes to our routine

How I make time to effectively run my business as a busy, homeschooling, work from home mama

How I partner with my husband to get things done

Areas of weakness with my own routine that I’m currently working on

How I created my routine based on what works best for me and my family and not what works for someone else

And more…

What would happen if it became the norm for mothers to love being with their kids? I mean, like, full time being with their kids. What if that were the norm? What if the cultural norm of doing life apart from our children and even our spouses more often than we’re together was completely changed? What do you think that world would look like? 

We answer these questions and more in this episode of the Mission Motherhood Podcast. We dive deep into what God is really communicating to us during these unprecedented times and how we, as mothers and believers, can use this opportunity to show the world that THIS is how we are supposed to do life: WITH our families MORE that we are APART from them.
