September 14, 2021[152] Simple Steps to Be More Productive from the Productivity Fairy God Mother with Holly Haynes
Send me a text
Sometimes getting up and getting started with the day is a challenge. The bed feels so good and you start to think about all of the things you have to do and decide to sleep for a few more minutes. Next thing you know, you've overslept and are late for work. This leads to a spiral that can send your day down into the dumps.
Having a productive day doesn't necessarily require you to wake up super early in the morning. But there are a few things that need to happen to ensure your day goes well and you tackle the to-do list.
I brought my friends and productivity fairy godmother, Holly Haynes to share her secrets of how she stays productive. As a wife and mom of twins that work full time AND have a full-time coaching business, I think she knows a thing or two that can help us out with our productivity.
In this episode Holly shares:
How to structure your day efficiently so that you actually are able to get what you need to be done without it being overwhelming.
Why you need a morning routine and what to include in your morning routine to help you have a productive day.
Her method to determining what you need to tackle first on your to-do list
If you need a little magic from the productivity fairy godmother, make sure to check out the full episode.

ABOUT HOLLY
Holly helps female entrepreneurs take back control of their time with proven productivity techniques, systems, and structure to create a strategy that scales long term. An industry expert, host of the Crush the Rush Podcast and featured Thrive author with a 20-year business consulting background with Fortune 500 companies, Holly runs her strategic coaching business and the Crush the Rush planner company while raising her twin daughters with her husband in addition to working for a non-profit in Columbus, Ohio.

August 24, 2021[149] Having Trouble Talking to Your Teen? Communication Tips for Moms with Teens with Maria Fahrner
Send me a text
Even though my kids are young, I feel like I have a teenager (or two) sometimes. Especially, when I'm talking to my oldest and he tells me I don't listen to him when I actually listen to everything he says. That stings.
My biggest fear is my kids grow up and don't want to talk to me about their problems, issues, or struggles. Honestly, I was beginning to feel like my 8-year-old wasn't opening up to me like he used to.
Whenever I feel like I am struggling with parenting or not getting through to my kids, I always reach out to moms who have been there and done that.
I reached out to a mother and grandmother that has over 30 years of experience with working with families for this problem. My friend Maria, from The Moms I know Podcast. In the latest episode of the podcast, Maria shares:
Practical tips for communicating with your teen
The best way to respond when your teenager or big kid opens up to you
When you should leave your child alone and when to intervene
Helpful advice on communication with your teenager
One big takeaway is when my kids are talking to me about their problems, I need to listen carefully and not make fun of them or laugh at their problems.
This seems simple, but it's a reminder that everyone wants to feel validated and not judged when they are opening up.
If you have a teenager (or big kid) that you need a little help with communication with, this episode is for you.

ABOUT MARIA

Maria is an educator, mother, grandmother, and podcaster with over thirty years of experience in working with families. She is passionate about empowering moms to make conscious choices and supporting them to find joy and fulfillment in their parenting journey.
