It's Thursday. Which means it's time for another Mommy Talk Thursday. This is when I chat with you and either give you encouragement about a single topic, affirmations that will help you to be a real happy mom or inspiration to help with this journey called motherhood. Today I'm talking to Shira about fostering the love of community with your child.

I have a confession. I have an addiction to checking my email!

It's bad. I didn't realize how bad it was until I read a book that revealed some of the major time sucks in our life. Take a listen and see if you have the same or a similar addiction to your phone.

You have a dream inside of you. Or maybe it's a passion from something that you feel compelled to do every day. But life happens and you haven't made on progress with pursuing your dreams or passions.

Why? Is it because you're too busy? Or maybe it is because the kids need your attention?

Whatever the case is, you can do hard things. You are more than capable of being an awesome mom while you pursue your dreams and passions. Listen to Sloane.

Who is Sloane? Sloane is the founder of Speak Life International, a non-profit, whose mission is to help women and young girls change the world one story at a time through education, entrepreneurship, and empowerment scholarships and also the best-selling author of Beautiful Girl, You Can Do Hard Things.

In this episode Sloane talks about:

• What it means to pursue your dreams when you become a mom
• How she made a promise that she wasn't going to give up on her dreams and at the same time she gave birth to guilt
• The number one thing that prevents moms from pursuing their calling or passion
• The number one thing to do if you are in the messy part of your journey of pursuing your calling or passion
• Why you need to be celebrating the small wins
• Why you need to belong somewhere and find your people
• Why your kids are not an excuse for you to pursue your dreams but what they are instead
• Why you don't have to choose between your passion and your kids

"Why won't my kids listen to me."
"I wish my kids would listen and do what I ask for once!"
"Why I am constantly repeating myself to my kids to clean up. It's like I'm talking to myself"

If every catch yourself saying these things or have these thoughts you have to listen to this episode.

My guest is Katherine Sellery, a three-time TEDx speaker, who has taught thousands of parents in a Conscious Parenting Revolution for resilient, considerate, centered, and empowered kids who know their inner voice and honor it. Katherine has been coaching parents, children, and executives on conscious communication for over 16 years.

In this episode she shares:

• How to use a petri dish approach to our family when it comes to trying new things.
• What is an authoritative parenting style and why is not as effective as you think.
• How authoritative parenting leads to the 3 R's that are secondary problems that you don't want to deal with.
• How to use a collaborative approach with your children.
• What is means to actively listen.
• How to teach our kids to be considerate.

After listening to this episode you will be clear on how to better parent and make your child feel heard. And ultimately improve your relationship with your kids so that they feel comfortable talking to you about their problems and fears.
