Do you get stuck inside your head sometimes?

It’s like a hamster wheel - we get all caught up in the mental processing of things that it takes us away from our present and robs us of our ever-deserving joy and peace.

In today’s Momtra, I’m reminding you of some instances where you’re totally stuck in your head, and giving you some ideas on how you can get out of it and balance yourself out.

Has motherhood kicked your ass before?

Yeah, me too. But we don’t have to take those experiences and let them break us down.

Today’s Momtra episode is inspired by a conversation with my coach who shared this with me:

“Most people are driven by self-improvement and autonomy”

I decided to apply this in the realm of motherhood and see what came up. Are you developing your self-improvement and asserting your autonomy? Do you feel like you have either of those things

Listen in for thoughts and tips for both.

Ever say the following phrase: “I just don’t want that negative energy in my life”?

Chances are that’s referring to a person whom you’ve recognized as an energy suck. But then what happens when we put something like that out into the universe only to turn around and listen to, read, watch or eat a bunch of stuff that is, in keeping with the theme of the previous statement, “negative energy?”

In today’s episode, I’m talking about being aware of the energy within and around you, and why I believe this is so important for mamas.

I’m tying it in with my own personal example of watching The Real Housewives franchise and what happened for me when I stopped.

All of our choices and everything we consume - from our minds, eyes, ears and mouths - have impact. Being aware and making small shifts can make a huge difference.

Do you have standards?

You might hear the phrase “raise your standards…”

But what if there was a step before that, a crucial step that we often overlook?

I believe that step is holding your standards with yourself and aligning with what to want to experience from people and the world around you.

To quote Eleanor Roosevelt:

“It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.”

So in this week’s Momtra, think about where you could hold your standards with yourself more, and as a result have other aspects of your life meet those standards.

How do our experiences in the bedroom impact the the other areas of our lives?

Today I’m sharing 4 recent instances where I really owned my power when it comes to my sexuality. From my sexual health, maturity and pleasure, I used my awareness and voice to create some magical results.

From tracking my sex, having period sex, speaking up and using the sexual energy to reconnect and refuel, I share all of this because I know someone is going to get something out of it. It’s that knowledge that keeps me in the space of staying open, vulnerable and sharing some deeply intimate things with you. Because I believe we all win.

Are you showing your children acceptance and open-mindedness through your words and actions?

In today’s Momtra, I’m sharing a recent experience with my daughter Maya that reminded me of the incredible responsibility and opportunity that we have to normalize aspects of life and teach open-mindedness.

Whether it’s our physical body parts, family dynamics, differences in beliefs and practices, we can support our children in maintaining the fresh world view that they have when they are born, keeping an inclusive and loving essence.

Are you stuck in your comfort zone?

In today’s Momtra, I’m challenging you to identify something that you don’t want to do, something that’s outside your comfort zone and bumps up against how you know yourself to be.

When we interrupt our pattern, we create opportunity to see things differently, to solve problems, to grow and to learn. It’s also an empowerment tool, confirming our ability to own our life and be in the driver’s seat.

So listen in and find out how my own public nudity experience inspired me to share this with you.

How are you with accepting compliments?

Today’s episode is all about the tendency to take a compliment and convert it into something maladaptive. Either we don’t agree with it, create an opposite affirmation for ourselves, or in another twisted method - we create a ton of pressure and anxiety around living up to whatever acknowledgement someone gave us.

So I share some of my tips and experiences around compliments like working on your gratitude game as well as practicing affirming yourself and others.

What do you want?

Do you believe you’re allowed to have it?

In today’s Momtra I’m talking about a common theme I’m seeing - not just being afraid of failure, but being afraid of the success. Of our desires actually coming to fruition. Because then what? Stepping into our greatness and fullness might mean releasing things that we’ve been holding onto or it might mean a new level of responsibility and accountability that we don’t feel ready for. Maybe we’re even afraid to offend people or make them jealous if we experienced life at full volume.

Here are the quotes I shared in the episode:

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

-Marianne Williamson

“There is freedom waiting for you,

On the breezes of the sky,

And you ask "What if I fall?"

Oh but my darling,

What if you fly?”

-Erin Hanson
