Mama Introverts Unite! 

I'm talking all things self care during Halloween week on this episode of the Mom Boss Tribe Podcast.  

Here's why:

Halloween is ENERGETICALLY DEMANDING on our energy.  Feeling rushed, being around tons of people, splitting attention between kids and adults, and being *on* all day during Halloween drains our energy DRY. 

So...I want me make sure we give ourselves some good old self care early in the week and ALL WEEK LONG and even AFTER Halloween is over to recharge that energy, mmmkay?

So that YOU can enjoy this whole Halloween thing a bit more, mama.  So that YOU feel good in the process.

I would LOVE your thoughts on this episode AND all things introvertedness inside the Mom Boss Tribe Community >>https://www.facebook.com/groups/MomBossTribe1/

 

If you loved this episode, the biggest compliment you could give me is to share it in Instagram or Facebook, pass it along to another mama, and also to leave me a review.  This helps me get my content into the hands of good hearted (and introverted) mamas just like YOU!  

Mama, this episode is FIRE today, so listen up, mmmmkay?

 

Here's the deal, there are FIVE reasons why mothers should start with strength training before ANYTHING ELSE for workouts.  

Four of these are ACTUALLY why I strength train and coach mothers through this process, and the fifth, well....is a solid reason BUT it is more of a perk for me and not (right now) an actual reason why I do it, lol.

I'm leaving you the episode resources linked up below that I mentioned inside the episode:

Today, I'm sharing my four tools that I lean on to clear overwhelm + the dreaded mom anxiety, mama.

ONE of these tools is a damn superpower.

We need to talk about what happens when you feel like you are going to pee your pants during your workouts, mama.

Yeah, this episode is real talk mama.  REAL TALK.

I'm sharing two examples here on when I give in to mom guilt and when I don't. 

I'm sharing how you can go through the cost of this all when you give in to mom guilt and when you don't, and how to determine FOR YOURSELF what is the best way to handle your mom guilt for YOU.

I invite you to Moving Through Mom Guilt, the FREE No BS Self Care Action Plan I have waiting for you inside the Mom Boss Tribe Free Community.  The entire month of October is dedicated to taking care of YOU even through mom guilt.  You can grab your plan from the files section of the Mom Boss Tribe Community --> https://www.facebook.com/groups/MomBossTribe1/

Mama, 

WOAH.  I wish mothers BEFORE me had written a book on mom guilt to prepare me for what I was about to experience emotionally as soon as I birthed a baby.  

And what I was likely going to feel paralyzed by.

And the thing that was going to daily make me feel like a shitty mom for having needs or wants or other interests other than motherhood.

We had the most fabulous discussion inside the Mom Boss Tribe Community today on Mom Guilt.  Mamas shared how ridiculous it gets to keep NOT doing things for themselves when mom guilt shows up.  

I also share how I deal with mom guilt.  A tool that I use (that actually makes me feel like a nutball) that helps me put that mom guilt on a shelf for a hot second so I can leave, get away, and *usually* come back feeling like myself again - like I like myself, like I'm loving being a mom, like I love my family again.  

Use my tip, mama, and jump into the Mom Boss Tribe Community and share how it unfolds for you!  Use the community as a sounding board when you are in the throes of Mom Guilt and you are going to ACT ON YOU anyway.  

Also, Mom Boss Lifestyle is NOW ENROLLING, mama!  Shelf your mom guilt for 30 minutes twice per week and get inside your body and FEEL GOOD again :) Mom Boss Lifestyle --> amandafishercoaching.com/lifestyle

First off, mama.  My recording of this episode took a dive when I messed up my mic and needed to pull the audio from video.  So my apologies at the extra 2 minutes of talk time here before we ever get into this episode :)  I'm not a tech guru, and don't know how to cut and split, nor do I want to learn, lol.

I digress.  Let's get into exactly HOW to still choose YOU even on the shitshowiest of days.  No matter if you self created the shit show OR the shit show OR the shit show just ended up in your lap some how some way.  

I'm going to walk you through this process....it's four steps, but really only THREE, and the first two are what most mamas SKIP, but you aren't most mamas ;-)

So, can I ask you....what was YOUR last shit show?  Was it self created, or was it one that just freaking ended up in your lap when you least expected it?

Share your shit show with me!  Either inside the MBT Community, or tag me on Instagram :)

Welcome back, mama!

This episode, mama, is all about getting YOU communicating your self care needs, even when you feel absolutely silly telling your partner that you need these things.  

This episode is DEFINITELY for you if you've given your partner the silent treatment for four hours followed by one word answers, and then wonder why you still feel shitty after you've "made him pay."

We get so in our heads sometimes, and just assume that we should be able to handle everything seamlessly without acknowledging that life is A LOT. 

So the first step in the communication process is actually communicating with OURSELVES.  Admitting that holy shit, we are overwhelmed (and who can blame us....there is A SHIT TON to this whole mom life thing).  

Then we need to actually figure out what we need.

AND THEN we communicate those needs in a way that doesn't feel to our partner like we are blaming or keeping score.  So we BOTH win, right?  

Jump into the MBT Community, mama, and share how this episode hit home for you.  

Also, actually ditching your overwhelm is another process entirely.  If you REPEATEDLY lose your shit, feel resentful at all the things always ending up on your plate, well then......it is time to ditch that shit and Thrive Like A Boss.

Thrive Like A Boss is $77 through September 12!  Enroll in this kick ass 28 day course here --> https://amanda-fisher-coaching.teachable.com/p/thrive-like-a-boss/

Mama, today we are talking about how we trip ourselves up when we WANT something, but feel that it's wrong/bad that we want it or that we can't have it because someone told us that once.  

Listen up during this one, because it is POWERFUL AF when it comes time to dropping the freaking struggle around food and what we want combined with our health and enjoyment.....our Satisfied AF factor.  

This is a deep dive answer to a mama inside the Mom Boss Tribe Community when she was feeling wrong for ending her meals with something sweet, like a square of dark chocolate.  Guess what?  Perhaps she wasn't wrong after all for this craving....but I'm helping her feel that out every day/meal with this episode.  

So, if you have struggles around food, and you WANT to feel good about food but DAMN sometimes it's just getting hard and weird and chaotic and feels heavy, join us for Satisfied AF Month!  We will help you reframe YOUR food mindset from fear to love and care --> Join Satisfied AF --> http://amandafishercoaching.com/satisfied/

Do you eat the same thing at the dinner table that your family eats, mama?  

Or do you make yourself a less carb version, a low calorie version, a guilt free version?

I'm talking about what happens at the dinner table when it is spaghetti night, and you are thinking the noodles are off limits.  

I'm walking you through TWO DIFFERENT MINDSETS today during this episode.  And how to let yourself be where you are WHILE starting to reflect a little on why you do things the way that you do on spaghetti night.  

Some questions to answer as you begin your thought process about spaghetti night and food in general.....

 - what is your thought process behind your decision?    - is that decision from a fearful place or a loving place?    - does it FEEL good to you, honestly good... not good because you are scared to say it doesn't feel good if it doesn't because you don't want to let yourself down?    - I'm about YOU feeling good, and you are the expert of your children, but think about it.  When you are coming from the funky mindset, what message does that send to your kids?  That moms never eat the same things?  Is that the message you want to send?   Jump into the Mom Boss Tribe Community and share your thoughts on this episode!     And, if you are ready to work through this in a safe and supportive space, check out Satisfied AF --> amandafishercoaching.com/satisfied
