When you become EMPOWERED as a mom, THAT is when you are free to truly ENJOY being a mom. This is something you’ll find me saying often - and not just because I’ve seen it be true in my own life, but because I’ve seen it be true in the lives of the women I work with. So much of the joy and freedom we most long for in our lives really does start with our MINDSET and CONFIDENCE!

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through FIVE daily practices designed to help you feel more empowered in your everyday motherhood:

1. Speaking declarations

2. Listing your options

3. Confident, creative communication

4. Nurturing your body, mind, and soul

5. Taking consistent baby steps in the right direction

Let’s be real: Sometimes the holidays can be more stressful than fun. So what can we do this year to not feel so overwhelmed by the pressures we face, whether those pressures are from our extended families, the product of social media and the culture we live in today, or even our own high standards? In today’s podcast episode, I break down what it means to be EMPOWERED around the holidays and offer up practical tips for cultivating a more fun and peaceful Christmas for your family. It’s time to stop letting others choose Christmas FOR us and instead learn how to choose Christmas for ourselves!
