Hey mamas! 

Welcome back to Moms Unboxed! This week, we're diving deep into something every mother knows intimately: chaos. That feeling of overwhelm, stress, and anxiety that settles in your body and can impact everything from your patience to your relationships.

Have you found yourself bickering more, feeling closed off, or struggling to soften your reactions? You're not alone.

Join me as we unbox these intense emotions and explore practical steps to navigate them with compassionate awareness. Inspired by Viktor Frankl's powerful quote about the space between stimulus and response, we'll uncover how self-awareness is the key to unlocking emotional intelligence and stronger connections.

I'll be sharing a personal story about my own neurodivergent sensitivities and how understanding my triggers transformed my interactions with my son.

And we'll delve into four actionable steps to cultivate compassionate awareness: noticing and arriving, building further awareness and allowing, investigating and processing, and finally, expressing and releasing our emotions in healthy ways.

Learn how to identify your triggers, understand the "why" behind your reactions, and shift from reactive outbursts to intentional responses.

Plus, I'll guide you through a soothing energetic breathwork technique, a remix on the triangle breath, to help you find calm and center yourself amidst the everyday storms of motherhood.

If you're ready to move beyond just reacting and step into a more centered, patient, and understanding version of yourself, this episode is for you.

Share it with a mama who could use a little more calm in her beautiful, chaotic life. Let's live liberated, sensual, and unboxed!

Honesty for Moms: How to build trust with your partner and with yourself.

On this episode of Mom's Unboxed, I challenge you to look inward and explore your own honesty. 

Are you truly being honest with yourself about your feelings and desires? And how does that impact your relationships? 

I delve into the nuances of honesty in partnerships, covering truthfulness, transparency, and the importance of creating a safe space for open communication. 

As I say, "Being honest with yourself starts with understanding your needs, wants and desires." 

Get ready for some powerful self-reflection and practical steps to cultivate deeper trust in your life through honesty. Being honest is a game-changer for building that foundation of trust that I know you want in your relationship.

Hey Mama, have you ever been there? Stuck in a relationship where you knew deep down something wasn't right? 

Maybe those little red flags started popping up, or that gut feeling was screaming, but fear or uncertainty just held you back? Trust me, you are SO not alone. 

This week on Mom's Unboxed, I'm diving deep with the amazing Jojo from the Inside Out Podcast into something so crucial: the incredible power of your intuition, especially when you're navigating those really tough, sometimes toxic, relationships.

Think about it for a second. 

Has your body ever given you a clear "no" – a knot in your stomach, a wave of anxiety – while your mind tried to rationalize things or tell you to stay? 

Jojo and I are getting real and raw, unboxing our own experiences and talking about why it can be so hard to listen to that inner wisdom.

Are you ready to finally prioritize your own well-being? 

To learn how to truly trust that gut feeling, no matter how scary stepping into the unknown might seem? 

If you've ever questioned a relationship and felt that inner conflict, then this episode is absolutely for you. Let's unbox this together.

Hello Beuties, 

Have you ever been in a relationship where trust was broken? 

Perhaps you find it difficult to trust because of your past relationship?

In this episode of Moms Unboxed, we have a very special guest, my brother Matt to discuss the intricacies of trust in relationships. Being a life coach and mother, I share my personal experiences and insights on how trust is established, eroded, and rebuilt.

The episode features Matt's story about a broken trust experience from his online dating adventures, emphasizing the importance of clear boundaries and honest communication. 

Together we explore six key foundations for building trust: honesty, integrity, boundaries, accountability, supportiveness, and the choice to trust. I also share a personal anecdote about my polyamorous relationship and the challenges I have faced.

The episode concludes with both hosts advocating for open and transparent communication as essential for maintaining trust in any relationship.

Hello Beauties, 

In this episode of Moms Unboxed, host I chat with moms on how to enhance self-leadership as mothers. 

Are you following in your parent’s footsteps? 

Perhaps you’re saying the same things your parents said that were hurtful to you as a child? 

Patterns die hard! 

I discuss you being the leader and breaking old parenting patterns, understanding personal values and triggers, and modeling healthy behaviors for your children. Because let’s face it children are like sponges, they absorb what is modeled to them.

I also emphasize the importance of self care, patience, and flexibility to create a nurturing environment. In this episode, I encourage mothers to reflect, expand patience and compassion, as you’re continuously learning to evolve your role as a mother.
