Do you have a mission statement? 

Sometimes referred to as vision or purpose statement, I’ve talked about mission statements once or twice on the show. If you know me, you know I’m all about it.

So for today’s Momtra, I’m dropping from Stephen Covey “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” knowledge on ya, plus sharing my personal current mission statement.

What has your past decade looked like?

Follow along as I retrace the last 10 years of my life in 10 minutes (k, a few more minutes than that). 

Might be a cool little exercise to do for yourself as you acknowledge growth and cultivate gratitude for where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re going!

How are feeling about this new year that is upon us?

Are you more in a reflective space about the past year or are you more in a space of anticipation for the upcoming one?

This momtra episode is a reminder to stay present and to release any perceived expectation to change our old habits/mindsets/beliefs overnight and that there is any such thing as a “quick fix.”

Here’s to you, and Happy New Year!

Is it possible to be a great mom and a sexual goddess simultaneously?

For many, the two worlds seem incompatible. Which is fascinating, right?! Because sexuality is kinda the whole start of the journey of motherhood. 

This is a topic I’m very passionate about and bring up often on the show. To switch it up a bit, I thought I’d bring in someone else’s perspective to add to the pot. Today’s episode is a recorded conversation that I had with one of my dear friends and soul sisters, Chanda. It was originally intended for my Orgasmic Mama membership, but I decided that this is the space to share this. 

In this chat we cover (and this is just a taste!):

some of her personal journey to orgasmic bliss - how she experienced herself as physically (and probably more than just physically) anorgasmic for a time, and how that has shifted

being very sexual and an amazing mother

how her sexuality has fueled and supported her physical health, her creativity in music and her financial manifestation

I’m so grateful and blessed to have Chanda on BAM. I know you will adore her as I do!

Do you know what it's like to feel like an emotional doormat? Do you ever leave conversations feeling as if you've taken on the emotional weight of the other person's story?

In today's episode I’m talking about how to be empathic with people, meaning you can have compassion for where they’re at and hold a powerful space for them, and not let their stuff drag you down into the abyss of emotional depletion and despair.

I want you to be able to show up as the amazing woman you are for the people you care for in life, with boldness and compassion, standing for yourself while acknowledging others.

What are your plans for 2020?

Gonna land the job you’ve always wanted? Find or strengthen a loving bond with a partner and relationship that sustains you and brings you immeasurable joy? Revitalize your health and wellness? Make a baby??

How are you setting intentions and getting clear on what you want to create and experience?

Let’s make a word for the year! This is my 5th year doing this exercise, and 3rd sharing it on the podcast. It’s a powerful tool and I have a lot of fun doing it. I highly recommend you do it. So listen in and pick your word (and apologies for my raspy voice - thanks for hanging in there with me!).

Do you realize how amazingly awesome you are??!

In today’s Momtra, I want us to remember the beauty that lies within us. And like a genius artists sees the sculpture within the slab of stone, it’s a similar process that I experience when I’m coaching with my clients or undergoing my own healing, transformation and growth.

Are you a superhero woman who handles her sh**?!

Today’s Momtra is inspired by a quote from Liz Gilbert: 

“The women I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because shit worked out. They got that way because shit went wrong and they handled it. They handled it a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it. Those women are my superheroes.” - Liz Gilbert

So let this be an affirmation, an inspiration, a motivation to acknowledge yourself and/or other amazing women that you observe.

What are the biggest influencers in your life? Where do you have the greatest influence?

These are two questions I believe we can ask ourselves to check in on how powerful and effective we’re being in our daily lives. 

Because the reality is that in any given moment there is an exchange of influence going on -- what we allow into our environment, and then how we impact other environments. Based on this awareness, we can better choose on what to let in and what to remove.

Environments will make or break us - so let’s make sure we keep our environments high energy and in support of what we’re truly up to - being badass goddesses!

How’s your bandwidth looking?

In today’s Monday Momtra - I’m taking a lesson from Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” which, if you’ve listened to the show for a minute here, you’ll know that this book comes up often in my life and in my coaching.

So we’re talking about the balance of the responsibilities we take on and our actual ability to perform those tasks, and how that ebb and flow affects us on a daily basis and what the long term impact can be.
