In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Super Working Mom - Detola Amure - a productivity coach and mama of 3 kiddos, on earth and one in heaven.

We talk about what it really looks like to hold big dreams while raising kids in the "abroad", what it actually means to “have it all” as a mum, and why relying on God’s strength changes how we see purpose, work and family.

You’ll hear us unpack:

• How to think about purpose in different seasons of motherhood, especially after big life shifts like job loss, or moving countries
• Ways to make time for your dreams through time blocking, outsourcing and saying yes to help!
• Why your relationship with God, your spouse and your children cannot be outsourced, and how everything else is up for negotiation.

We’re talking about the unknowns of Halloween, the costumes, the candy, and the confusion.

We didn’t grow up with it, so every year feels like we’re still figuring it out. From explaining it to our kids to asking why it has to be so scary, we unpack what this holiday even means for us now. 🎃

Come laugh, learn, and maybe feel a little more seen if you’re still trying to make sense of Halloween too.

We talk about Canadian Thanksgiving 🇨🇦, how quiet it feels, what “tradition” even means when you didn’t grow up with this holiday, and how we’re building our own for the kids, we think it should be simple too because it’s really the little things that become core memories.

There’s some turkey talk, a bit of nostalgia about Nigerian holidays growing up, and creating a sense of belonging for our kids in a new-ish culture.

We also share what we’re thankful for this year from good health and patient husbands to just surviving back-to-school season. 😂

Happy Thanksgiving, mama. 🧡

The days are long, but the years are short and nothing proves that more than back-to-school season year after year - it somehow drags us, but also goes by so fast. 🎒

In this episode, we chat about what that looks like for us: the scramble in the mornings, packing lunches (uggh), nailing down routines, chatting with teachers, and all the little things in between.
