Mom on Purpose

Ep 24 Creating a Successful Family Schedule

If you struggle with planning a sustainable schedule for your family, this episode shows you how  to revolutionize how you see your relationship with time, by offering a new way to use it with a series of quadrants that compliment your personal style.

You'll get clear on which one you fall into, and how to play with other quadrants so you can understand which ones each of your family members thrives in.

You'll know this episode if for you if ...

• Creating a schedule for your family leaves a really bad taste in your mouth
• When you do make a schedule, you feel like you're suffocating
• You shame yourself for not being more productive
• You LOVE creating a schedule but HATE that your family doesn't follow it
• When you block your time, you never complete what you wanted to
• You find the perfect planner and think, "this is it ... now it will be different!"

If you're not clear on what your relationship is with time, or how you function with it, then it can become a challenge when you multiply that by the number of people in your family because they all have their own relationships with time.

Learn how to understand everyone's unique quadrant so you can create harmony in your household. :)

Ep 23 Letting Go of Doing It Right

Sometimes God and the Universe has a funny way of poo poo-ing our plans, and that's okay.  Yes, you may have created a plan, and maybe it didn't go the way you had hoped, but there's one guarantee: life will give you an opportunity to let go of your plan whether you like it or not, that's when the magic begins to happen. 

What you'll learn in this episode:  

• Trust that whatever path is happening for you now is the right one
• Lara shares how she let go during her pregnancy to enlist the help of others 
• The more we trust, the more the universe provides exactly what we need
• When we can handle any emotion, we remain open to receive the lesson
• When things go "wrong" maybe it means we have to practice feeling certain emotions so we can uncover why they are there.

What's a guarantee in life, is that we will definitely feel emotions we don't like. Instead of spiraling into a shame vortex, we can cultivate peace and a deep level of trust through our willingness to turn adversity into magical gifts!

Ep 22 Creating Growth from Inside Your Comfort Zone

There's a big myth that a lot of us come across at some point when we're reaching our dreams, and that is the saying, "there's no growth in the comfort zone." This is not always always true or useful to believe. 

In this episode, you'll learn about the 3 different comfort zones,  so you can avoid stalling your goals, and keep the ball rolling towards your dreams. 

This episode is for you if ...

• You're discouraged about the goals you're trying to achieve
• You're telling yourself that you're not good enough
• Trying to reach your goals suddenly feels like an uphill battle 
• You have a fear of failure or perfectionism 

You'll also discover questions you can ask yourself to see where you fall into the "3 comfort zones" so you can move forward and create the things that you want in your life.

Bonus Episode: Busy Moms' Book Club : Quiet, the Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking  by Susan McCain.

If you identify as an introvert, you're in good company with  Eleanor Roosevelt, Gandhi and Rosa Parks and Warren Buffet to name a few. 

Every month, The Busy Moms' Book Club meets virtually over Zoom. You do not have to read the book to join. I read the book, then will teach it to you and how to apply it.

It's the best because you can get ALL the goodness  books have to offer in an hour. Because we all know you loved Cliff Notes for your book reports as a kid ;)

You'll know this book is for you if ...

• You dislike small talk, and would rather discuss “deep” topics you care about
• You need downtime after spending time with others, even if you loved it
• You feel like the “noise” of motherhood and life is a lot for your body
• You feel like you are flawed for not being more sociable

In this book club, I will share with you the history, research, and examples of the difference between extroverts and introverts; and how harnessing your introverted superpowers can help you change the world.

In a nation of extroverts we are told to be "bold" as an individual, and that if we are not, the underlying message is that we are fundamentally flawed, and therefore not as good as someone who is more outgoing.

Instead, Quiet shows us how to honor who we are, and see that we can succeed and be happy and embrace our introversion, instead of shunning it.

Ep 21 Increase Your Capacity to Feel Joy

Part of being on this earth is to feel and experience joy. When we feel the full spectrum of emotions, including negative ones, we increase our capacity to feel more joy than we are currently feeling right now. This is the fullness of life that God wants us to experience.

This episode is for you if ...

• You find yourself pushing away  emotions that you think are silly
• You wonder when the "shoe is going to drop" because things feel really good 
• You reach a goal and immediately move to the next one without celebration
• Deep down you are uncomfortable feeling joy so you dismiss it

Learn the steps to increase your capacity to feel joy so you don't sabotage yourself from the full experience of it and see that no mater what life dishes out, you can handle the full spectrum of emotions that come your way. 

You got this :)

Ep 20 When Following Your Passions Can Ruin Your Life

Have you ever gotten burned by your passions, only to feel like you have to take time away from them?  If your passions require more than the resources you have to give, such as your time, money, or energy, then this episode is for you. 

In this episode, you will learn:

• The 5 "rocks" to help you create boundaries to enjoy guilt-free passions
• Why it's important to conserve your energy so you don't burn out  
• How keep the fire going so your passions don't fizzle
• How passions stop feeling fun when other areas of your life are suffering
• Steps for taking inventory to see if your passions still light you up or not

When these 5 "rocks" or boundaries are in place, your passions become the fuel, the mark that you leave on the world. 

They won’t over consume you to the point where you have to take off long periods of time to recover, or that you have to manage guilt because your relationships aren’t as strong as you want them to be.

If you’re ready to work on creating better boundaries so your passions continue to ignite your life, click HERE to set up a free consultation with Lara. We’ll make sure your "5 rocks" are strong and in place so that they won’t over consume you.

Ep 19 Create Gratitude by Letting Go of "Negative Gratitude" 

Do you try to "look at the brighter side" anytime you feel negative emotions? If so, you are practicing "Negative Gratitude." Instead, take a deeper dive into your positive and negative emotions so that you can create a joyful gratitude practice that honors what you feel while fueling your daily life.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The more we try to fix emotions we don't want, the more we amplify them 
• Why allowing others to be seen and heard is the most loving thing 
• "Looking at the brighter side" is not always the best advice
• Emotions are simply vibrations in our body that we label "good/bad"
• How to see feelings as waves that rise and then fall away
• Feeling an emotion we don't like does not mean something has gone wrong
• How to see emotions as cyclical and be willing to experience the full range 
• The most loving question we can ask before "spewing negative gratitude"
• How deep breathing allows you to "blow into the vibration" of feelings
• The 3 steps to create a daily "habit for living" gratitude practice

When we are willing to get in touch with the full range of negative and positive emotions, instead of trying to fix or push away,  the more able we are to experience authentic gratitude for ourselves, and hold the most loving space for others so they can do the same.
