HEY Y'ALL!!! It is another week and I am ready to welcome y'all to the Burnout Hot Mess Mom Club, I am your club secretary Lindsey! HA!  We are slowly recovering from a HUGE panic attack so I thought... why not talk about nervous breakdowns!?!  Oh yeah, I was also "that" mom who forgot about early release!  BUT through everything let's focus on putting a little more serotonin back into our day to reduce this cortisol! WOO!

Hey Mother Toughers!  Welcome back to another week!  This week's episode is full of emotion because I am touching on something that happened just this week.  We are talking about kid runaways, high-conflict bio mom lying to the police, retaliation, stepping away from my step-parenting role, and finding hope.  Making the decision to step away from a step-parenting role is not easy but sometimes necessary to work on ourselves, I NEVER thought I would be making this decision.  Sit back y'all because it is story time!

HEY MOTHER TOUGHERS!  It is another week of being a tough mother!  This week we are diving into managing frustration & our households.  Teaching kids through natural consequences & tough conversations.  PLUS how I compare my home to a business & the importance of knowing your role.  
Baby Girl was super chatty this episode, so there will be A LOT of background chatter & sidebars... thanks for your understanding!

Hey Mother Toughers!  I am super excited to be introducing the FIRST episode of Tough Tidbits, where we jump right into a topic.  For this first one, we are talking about logs and compiling information for court.  Although not every step parent may be making and/or keeping logs it is good to understand this process to support our partners.  Court is so stressful but having everything in order will help take a TON of weight off of the shoulders of all of those involved.

Hey y'all!  Welcome to another week Mother Toughers!  This episode is for all the blended families out there.  We are diving (head first) into transitions and some of my top tips for heading into court.  DON'T miss out on this week's BONUS episode on Thursday for even more court prep!  The court process is definitely NOT fun but whether you are the bio parent heading into court or their support person, I have a few things I like to do to keep it simplified.  Let's not forget our amazing kiddos and the hard of transitioning, I am spilling the tea on what we have gone through and how I have tried to work to find ways to make it a little easier on our babies.  Let's tackle the tough stuff!

HEY Y'ALL, it's a mother of a Monday so let's dive into the tough stuff!  This week I am talking about my stay-at-home journeys & things I like to do to take care of myself!  Being a mother is overwhelming & overstimulating at times so we have got to take some time for ourselves.  Plus, can we just talk about how frustrating telling our kids the same thing over & over again can be?! HOLY MOLY... let's get into it MOTHER TOUGHERS!!!

It is another week Mother Toughers!  Last week, I challenged you to make a list of boundaries... this week we are diving into what boundaries we should hold onto and others we may need to push through.  Sometimes we set boundaries to protect ourselves but we also set boundaries to build walls against things we do not want to face... well, we need to face the giant.  This is also so true for our kids, we have to show them how to not surround themselves with walls while learning to set healthy boundaries for themselves.  We are also jumping into how there IS such a thing as a positive argument and learning your partner's arguing style is a HUGE step into getting to this space.

Hey Mother Toughers!  We are diving being a stepmom & the friends dynamic.  Our friends who are not stepmoms just DON'T get it and that is no fault of theirs but toxic friends are NOT what you want to surround yourself with.  I have had my fair share of friends and one in particular who just isn't the best at handing out advice.  As moms and stepmoms we need to surround ourselves with friends we can trust and that won't dish out poor advice!  Let's talk all the friend highs and lows as a stepmom!  I am also dropping all the details on how we communicate with a HIGH CONFLICT individual!!!

Welcome back Mother Toughers!  It is a new week and OMG did I have a Monday which made me realize that my brain needs some serious recalibration (possibly my routines too).  I am ready to set some goals, change some routines, and push myself to make time for myself.  This is so not easy and I think my fellow mamas can agree so let's tackle the tough together.  I am also trying to reach my inner 5-year-old to say what I need when I need it!  Let's dive into all the tough and hilarious then jump over to my Instagram @mothertougherpodcast to discuss!

This episode has a TRIGGER WARNING:  I am discussing phone safety which includes a discussion of child predators, pornography, and trafficking.  These are topics I recently had to talk about (AGAIN) with my kids because of what one of them got into.  On a lighter note, I do a mini-interview with my 5-year-old and getting him ready for kindergarten.  My support may look very different than a lot of stepmoms so I am giving the rundown of my participation in exchanges.  Be sure to jump over to my Instagram @mothertougherpodcast to discuss these topics and so many more this week!
