What do you need out of these holidays to consider them a success?

This is an important question if you want to make this time count. In a year of heartbreak and loss, we still have the power to create joy and magical memories in alignment with our values. 

When I sat down to think about what I want out of this season, I came up with this:

Health

Safety

Good Citizenship

Joy

Connection

Rest

Having identified this list, it was so much easier to make decisions around what is right and what is best for our family as we celebrate the holidays this year. 

In this episode I help you decide what it is that you truly want out of this holiday season and then I give you 4 simple strategies to actually getting what you want. 

While this year is anything but normal, there are still plenty of opportunities to connect and find joy & magic this holiday season. We are in this together. I got you.

Holy cow. 500 episodes. 500!!!

Part of me wants to be all exasperated, “How did that even happen? How did we get here???”

But that would diminish what I know to be true. 

500 episodes of The Shameless Mom Academy happened because I chose to show up - ALL THE WAY UP - 500 times. 

I have shown up full of joy and hope. 

I have shown up with a broken heart, in a puddle of tears.

I have shown up to teach and coach and listen and learn and share and apologize and cry and push myself and push you and model leadership and celebrate. 

I have shown up on some of the best days of my life and some of the worst days of my life.

I didn’t get to 500 episodes on accident. I got here on purpose. 

I worked hard to get here. 

Just like I encourage all of you to do, I’m going to own the heck out of this accomplishment. 

Most podcasts don’t make it past 14 episodes. 

And here we are. 

500 episodes. 

Your legacy is built on how you choose to show up over time. 

These 500 episodes are a massive part of my legacy. 

I have learned so much about the power of showing up over the last 500 episodes. I have learned exactly why it matters, exactly how it can change your life, and exactly how it can open big huge doors to your future. 

Listen in to get really inspired and totally FIRED UP to keep showing up for your life and your dreams.

There are all sorts of stories that people will tell you about procrastinators. They are lazy and lack motivation. They are ill prepared and unqualified. They just don’t have what it takes. They don’t have their shit together.

If you’re someone who struggles with procrastination, perhaps these are the things you say about yourself? You wouldn’t be alone…

The truth is that procrastination is commonly a form of perfectionism. 

Many people procrastinate because they are paralyzed by the fear of doing something wrong, making a mistake, looking foolish, not being good enough, and being stuck in analysis paralysis. This makes them feel guilty and weak and like they are not enough. This creates feelings of dread and worry and massive self doubt.

Relatable much???

Many (most?) women struggle with perfectionism because we have been conditioned to believe we must show up a certain way, on certain terms, within certain parameters. The specificity around what is acceptable and what is not is a fine line drawn with a Sharpie.

Listen in to learn more about why procrastination is not a bad thing, how to use it to your advantage, and how to release yourself from the perfectionism that comes from procrastination.

After recognizing her true passion lies in serving entrepreneurs, Kristen honed her skills as a Director of Operations. She quickly noticed that what was holding many business owners back wasn’t a lack of drive or ability, but a lack of foundational systems that could support the day-to-day operations of a scaling business. These days, she spends her time helping online coaches, copywriters, and course creators scale without the frustration that massive growth often brings.

2020 would like you to think you can’t do it, you’re not enough, you just don’t have it in you. 

I would like to suggest otherwise.

You CAN do it.

You ARE enough. 

You DO have it in you.

On any given day, at any given moment, your life is full. Full of gifts and magic. Full of hope and power. Full of everything you need to keep going and to keep growing.

Last week we did a 5 day Abundance & Gratitude Challenge with 250 Shameless Moms. Maybe you were one of them. Every day of the challenge I was blown away by all the abundance we have in our collective lives. HOT DAMN. So much goodness. 

In this episode, I walk you through 4 areas of your life that are already abundant - as long as you choose to see them that way. By the end of the episode, you’re gonna be all kinds of fired up about the gifts in your life that you perhaps have struggled to see in 2020.
