Episode 204 | So many women become a mother and that's the only way they identify themselves. Who are you? "I'm a mom." Meanwhile, they are also feeling a sense of loss of purpose despite being tremendously purposeful every day, and a loss of identity including grief of no longer being the woman they were before becoming a mom. In today's episode, we dig into this a little further. I also share a list of questions that can help support you through your journey of self-discovery.

Questions to explore:

• Burnout and overwhelm can't exist in "slower and stiller." Are you comfortable with slow and still?
• What was my dream life? Am I living it? If I am, is it what I expected? Why or why not? If I'm not, is it better? Why or why not?
• If all roles and external statuses were stripped away, who am I? If I know, do I like her? If I don't know, who do I want to be?
• What would a confident, happy woman look and act like? Is she working? A mother? Single or married? Do you think you can be a confident, happy woman in your life? Why or why not?
• How do you actually want to FEEL in your life?
• What would your ideal day to day look like? Is you real day to day anywhere close? List the reasons and thoughts that come up when comparing the two.

Episode 202 | Anxiety hits and we feel helpless. No matter who we are, what we know or how we know to manage it, it becomes annoyingly humble as we realize how human we are in this state of fear, distress, nervousness and anxiety. 

No matter what I had learned along the way, when I was in an anxiety attack, I felt helpless. I couldn't remember anything and didn't know what to do for myself to make it stop. And it's isolating. We feel like a nuisance, incompetent, frustrated, angry and alone. 

This episode is giving specific ways you can support your anxiety RIGHT NOW. You can listen to it WHILE you're anxious and I also recommend listening to it when you're not. Bookmark it and save it so you can come back to it again and again when you need that support in high anxiety times. 

Here is a list of the tools that I speak about:

• A really supportive perspective on your mindset around anxiety
• Supplements
• EFT Tapping
• Essential Oils
• Movement
• Grounding
• Shock Your Senses

Episode 201 | Mom guilt is this all consuming dark cloud that so many of us have experienced. Whether it's been in moments or is just always hovering, we all know what what it feels like. 

Did you breast or bottle feed? Co-sleep or cry it out? Baby led or store bought baby food? Screen time or no screen time? Traditional school or homeschool? Working mom or stay at home mom? Family dinners or dinner on the go? Clean and tidy house or a lived in house? 

We are constantly battling with ourselves and this guilt is breaking us down. It certainly is NOT supporting us in becoming better moms. Because a better mom isn't changing HOW we are doing things, it's changing how we are BEing. It's shifting our confidence and self-esteem which is an inside out job. 

So how do we do that? In today's episode I talk about the four ways we can begin to break away from the mom guilt. 

• Label It
• Find the Source
• Challenge the Source
• Find Support

Episode 200 | I'll be the first today I have no will power. In fact in my Human Design, it actually shows that will power is nada. Ahhhh I felt so validated learning that.

I have some habits that are less than stellar and maybe even a little embarrassing, too.
