ORGANIZE WITH GRACE | Declutter | Downsize | Move

Do you ever wish you could just press the "Easy Button" to make everyday life, well, EASIER, as a working mom? I do! 

Though I don't have this easy button or a magic wand to offer you (and myself), I have an interview with Melissa Salmeron to help you slow down, get grounded, and build good habits to gain more time in your day.

As a Certified Master Life Coach, Melissa helps other moms give themselves the space they need to defeat overwhelm, step into their power, and show up as their true selves through the power of her signature CARE Method:

C - Consciously Connected

Real Connection happens when you are grounded. Connection cannot happen in an overwhelmed state, through the introduction of different life strategies, Melissa will help you determine which are a fit for you.

A - Awareness

Discover how to prioritize life's needs.  It's not a time constraint that's been missing in your life.  It's about understanding what matters to you.  Through the CARE Method, finally let go of the guilt of what you think motherhood is supposed to look like.  You'll learn how to communicate your needs so that you can let go of the overwhelm knowing that what you are asking for is for everyone's highest good. 

R -    Re-energize

Habits

When you have the right habits in place, it's amazing how life suddenly feels easier.  You will learn more about which habits serve you and the ones you need to let go of.  

Boundaries

You may already realize that boundaries are the ultimate act of kindness and you also may be like I once was and not sure where and how to start putting them in place.  Melissa will guide you in how to implement them in your relationships and you will be blown away at the impact this will have on your life.  

E -    Empowered From Within

Responsibility

It's our job to decide how we respond to life circumstances.  Melissa will support you through understanding the role responsibility plays in your life so that you can stop reacting to life and start responding.

Choice

Life is choice.  We often feel trapped in our lives thinking that there are no choices, it's just not true, we always have a choice.  Melissa will work with you to show you how to make choices that best support you in any situation.

Mama, I see you, sitting on the sidelines, putting everyone else first, yet yearning to know when it will be “my turn” to be happy.

“I will ____ when ____”. 

“I will take that dance class when the kids are older.”

Have you uttered a statement like that when talking about something that you are interested in doing for yourself that would give you happiness and joy?  I have.  Yet, recently, I’m learning that delaying and denying have only led to resentment and overwhelm. 

In a world that overloads women with guilt, this conversation with Amber Trueblood is my guilt-free gift to you.  My hope is to give you the space to grant yourself the permission to discover what makes you smile and to just do it already!

“What’s for dinner???”  Does that question make you want to run and hide???  For a non-cook like me, the answer is an emphatic “YES!!!” It’s too easy to go to a nearby drive-thru, which I’ve done more times than I like to admit.  But what if it was possible to prepare healthy meals quickly and efficiently?

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Faith VanderMolen, whose simple yet tasty recipes give me so much hope!  Also, if you are curious about what it takes to incorporate plant-based foods into your diet or maybe even transition into a plant-based diet, this episode is for you!    

Faith has a growing YouTube channel, Conscientious Eating with Faith where she has value-packed and simple how-to videos featuring her delicious and healthy vegan meals.  She also has a recipe book available for purchase on Amazon called Plant Biased: 90+ Easy Recipes and Essential Guide for the Plant-Based Beginner.

What I appreciated most about Faith is how she encouraged me that it is possible to prepare healthy meals quickly and efficiently even if you work 40 plus hours a week. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Faith. 

More about Faith:

Faith is first and foremost a wife and mother. For the past six years, she and her husband have lived as ex-pats in various countries throughout Southeast Asia. The challenges associated with living overseas forced her to become creative with her cooking, and thus The Conscientious Eater was born, a place where she shares her passion for healthy, plant-based recipes and food photography. Now with two young kids, her focus has shifted to creating a holistic approach to not only her own diet but that of her entire family.

Have you been there before and can't seem to find your way?  Are you afraid that you've truly been burning the candle at both ends?  In this episode, I had the honor of talking with Colia Howell about a topic that I feel not many of us want to talk about:  BURNOUT! Colia shares about her personal experience with burnout and how she was able to navigate through it and come out better on the other side.

Colia works as a real estate agent and has worked in the field of social work for over 13 years.  She is doing great things in the real estate industry while being a mom of a 10 and 13-year-old.

We not only have some real talk about burnout, but we also discuss ways to take care of ourselves and rally support from others.

Join us in this episode...it's a juicy one for ya!
