In this episode, I am sharing about the importance of using essential oil in our day to day life.  Being a mother I can understand, every mother becomes stronger when it comes to managing loads of things at a time. We Mothers are supremely good at multitasking. Feeding child same time helping with homework, cooking meals, folding clothes, cleaning, sweeping – it’s this ability to manage multiple tasks at once that makes mothers the perfect role model for how to achieve results under pressure. Even in this pandemic scenario, we are managing things are in a pretty nicer way. 

For me, it's never been so easy to manage everything at a time, but I still do and love to take care of things which is close to my heart, that’s my family. I love cooking for my daughter but those household things are a bit more for me, since we don’t have maids for long and can’t figure out when it will be available. Since I have made up my mind not having helpers around and doing work by myself. While doing this on an everyday basis, somewhere I get tired and feel so down. One evening I was casually sitting and realized if I can have a lovely smell around in my house which can be natural and light. That’s where this essential oil has come into my mind. I have never used it before, but after using it on an everyday basis, I can find so many differences around my house, even on health it gives positive effects.

 As per my experience, I would like to share how I felt and what all changes I feel in my body and mind, One of the major change we can easily make out after using this oil is 

 1.   Relaxation with Eucalyptus Oil – which has been extracted from the Eucalyptus tree, I realized after using this oil which really helps to get rid of When you have body pains and it helps to get rid of tiredness. Even I have been using it when I am suffering from Sinus issues, like mild headaches, I lit up the diffuser and when this oil started absorbing in the air, you will find yourself extremely relax. 

2.    For mother anxiety is very natural when it comes to managing loads of things at a time. We become more anxious when we try to achieve so many milestones but it's natural that a few or the other we tend to miss out and that’s where we feel anxious. But being at home you can easily feel relax using essential oils, which calms down the nerves and helps to get rid of anxiousness. Since these oils are extracting from plants, it has all-natural components to heal the body and mind.

3.  Treat Migraines: This one I strongly believe, since I have been suffering from headaches for since long and any changes in weather lead me to get headaches. But using essential oils like Lavender, Rose helps to get rid of the pain. 

 4.   Reduce Viral Infection: it's my personal experience with Eucalyptus oil and Peppermint oil, which helped us to stay away from infections at home. When you diffuse it through the diffuser, it makes the air bacteria-free. Even These Oils also helps to treat Pneumonia. 

 5.    Treat Fatigue: I have been using sandalwood oil and Citronella Oil to relax my body and mind. I have been using these oils in 02 ways, one is in a diffuser and another in Hot bath. While taking bath I pour 02-03 drops of this oil in water and then I take bath. Sitting in the bath allows the essential oil to enter the body through our skin.  

6.    Feel Positive: Being continuously at home, I have realized we are feeling monotonous and that’s where I thought to experiment with these essential oils. I have started diffusing it in the morning and evening and this helps to feel positivity in our body. My daughter loves fragrances such as sandalwood oil, lavender oil, and Mogra. Good fragrance whether it's perfume or flower energies us and uplifts our mood. In the same way, essential oils also help naturally energies our body and mind.

In this episode, I am sharing conversation with Super Mother , a Parenting Coach and a Author and her name is Wendy Vigdor-Hess. She brings awareness and healing to the dynamics present in our current parenting paradime and helps parents and children shift to a more balanced, loving and authentic connection.  Her work has been an evolution of how she can best help others having learned through my own living of life. She has worked with families since early on in her career as a registered dietitian with the WIC program and in her own private practice. She loves to learn and grow and in addition to being a certified coach,  blend multiple modalities that She has been trained in to best meet the needs of the people she work with. Since she come by this sensitive empathic kid path honestly, and waiting to become a parent myself, she didn't realize it but  was creating her program as we raised our kids. Through her own exploration and learning about being a highly sensitive empath, I also felt a drive to bring more of my experience to help other children and families. For children to be able to know and act freely as themselves from a young age and for there to be congruence between parents and children.  There can be a lot of misunderstandings that get internalized and understood differently and my intention is to help be a force for good and empower families to be the highest versions of themselves. She went to Bastyr University to continue my nutrition schooling and internship for becoming a registered dietitian.  While out there, she took part in an elimination diet where you remove certain common allergen foods and see how you feel as they are omitted and then added back in.  She was fascinated and learned so much and realized how effected I was by some of the foods.  She was readying to open my private practice and realized that my intuition was still there but had a bit “duller” quality to it when she ate certain things and wanted to be able to give my best to the new clients that would come.  So She chose to stay off of certain foods.  With that came cravings for those goodies so she started to make my own recipes of treats to bring to potlucks because she wanted a treat and wanted to feel she could have a treat too instead of  feeling “deprived” if she didn’t have one or negative about “can’t have one.”  She would bring enough to share with others and people would love the treats.  She decided to write up a little booklet type of thing for people from what She had gathered and learned and recipes and such.  It ended up turning into an book first and then a year or so later…the book it is of 404 pages!  We all crave the different tastes, with sweetness being one of them.  With sugar addiction, it can also lend itself to hiding behind other things, covering up feelings, perhaps feeling too much and wanting to “dull it” with sugar and more.  For her, she grew up loving sweets and as she got older continued with that.  Stepping into one’s journey fully, whether as a sensitive or empath/intuitive or not, is such a rewarding experience and if food and sweets is an aspect of that for any of your listeners, she welcome their questions, comments and feedback.  If you have any questions you can write to her to [email protected], and you can find her book available @amazon.in.

In this episode I am going to share about Home Made food which is beneficial and helps our Kids and family stay away from unwanted flu and infections. In this COVID scenario we have already seen the difference of not eating out and keeping ourself healthy by not doing that.

Home Made Food for Baby/Toddler/Kids are always the best option to keep them healthy and Infection Free. As per my own experience I have realized why this habit is so powerful and it can change our kids life in a better prospect.
One of the most prominent reason to offer homemade food to our kids because it has Power Packed Nutrition : When I cook food at home its completely in my hand to add as much as nutritional value in my daughter’s food. Which is completely healthy and packed with nutrition.
Second very important thing why I prefer to offer home made food to my daughter is there is No additives : Cooking meal for my daughter at home has no preservatives which can harm her and later stage can create issues in our body. This assurance we can only have when we cook at home, because ordering from restaurant might attract lots of preservatives components which is mixed in the food, and not at all healthy for kids body.
Tasty food attracts every kids tongue, even I have seen with my daughter also, if the food doesn’t look good but tasty then she loves to eat and ask for more. Cooking food at home even enhances the taste. Every food has their own taste and it remains taste effective when you cook at home. This process helps kids to develop their inhouse taste and later stage it also encourange them to induldge in homely cook food.
I can understand cooking everytime at home become tiring too for mothers, but for the wellbeing of our kids health its always fruitfull.
One more major reason why I always prefer to Choose to Cook at home because Whatever I feel I can cook for my daughter as per my wish. Changing the food plan, introducing new vegetable in my way, those all are possible only when i will cook at home. There are various vegetables and food choices which generally you can’t get in restaurant menu but when we choose to cook at home we can easily try out new recipes and offer our kids. Even with this process, we have our control over adding several additional mixtures which we use to enhance the taste. We human beings are takes time to change our Habit : but From early age if we make a habit to feed our kids homemade food, that’s become a natural practice for them in longer run and they will feel like eating home food, rather than eating out which is completely unhealthy and having poor nutrition value, Every habit starts with us and it continues as long as we want, the same way if we inculcate this practice to cook at home and eat, that will definitely become a healthy habit for the family. In this COVID scenario we can easily observe our Child behaviour where they hardly talk about eating outside food , rather they demand from Mother to cook some tasty and healthy food which they feel like eating at home. I have realized seeing my daughter everyday talking about something new to cook and offer her. 
"Change In Behaviour Can Change Our Kids Lifestyle" - Its Just the Thought Process.

In this episode I have shared about how we can cope up with kids anger. Releasing the emotions in fresh air has become a close door activity and because of the situation kids are also trying to keep themselves busy with those activities which they find interesting. That might gives us the feel of messing things around but trust me for them those are the ultimate way to relax their mind. This happened with my daughter as well. Earlier the routine has been already planned and implemented as per the daily programme. Getting up in the morning, having breakfast and then ready for school and till the time she comes back she’s already half tired. But her schedule for outdoor activities was always planned and it was a everyday routine. And once she finishes her dinner her tiredness takes her to bed. But things has changed now, there is no proper physical activity in fresh air.This happened with my daughter as well. Earlier the routine has been already planned and implemented as per the daily programme. Getting up in the morning, having breakfast and then ready for school and till the time she comes back she’s already half tired. But her schedule for outdoor activities was always planned and it was a everyday routine. And once she finishes her dinner her tiredness takes her to bed. But things has changed now, there is no proper physical activity in fresh air. Sometime my daughter become so adamant  and keeps on nagging for few things which, being a mother I try to avoid, but because of that reason her frustration level goes so high.  That’s the situation she not only feels hurt she gets really angry and out of control. And turning that situation to normal takes lots of patience for me. So when my daughter become normal, I make her understand why I was not interested to offer her that particular thing which she was behind. 

Even few of the situations which I have experienced is when my daughter is busy doing one activity such as painting or playing with her dolls, I never insist her to do some other thing which is pending or need to prioritise in that moment. Because she is already engrossed with her present activity and asking her to move and concentrate to other work will mess up her mind. That’s why I never disturb her when she is busy with such activities and happy being in that.  

“Kids concentration level also increase when they focus in one activity at a time”. 
Child psychology plays a very important role from Childhood, which I can easily sense through my daughter. Constant watching parents talking in a particular slang also attracts and encourage to change their behaviour. Parents shouting on each other or you are talking to a friend through phone call in a harsh manner, for a Child that’s the normal behaviour since they have been watching their parents on everyday basis. And after few days, we can find our Child starts imitating and behaving in the same manner. I have seen that change happen in my daughter, if I shout on her , the next reaction comes from her in same way. Because for her thats the normal way to communicate with each other and eventually its become habit for them. Hence being mother i always become cautious about my behaviour and body language in front of her. Now a day’s our life has become so busy and we prioritise those things which comes first, so somewhere our Child feels disconnected and that’s the time they need parents attention. Anger in kids dosen’t show that they are bad, it’s the only easiest way for them to express their thoughts. When our child is annoying us, our thinking process at that moment is very important. The goal is to be as objective as how can we better our behavior and our child’s behavior. i would like request you all to share your view/feedback on my email address [email protected] and please follow me for updates in insta @somathakur.mothercoach--.

In this epispode , I am Talking about Baby Constipation and how to overcome this issue with Natural Home Remedies. When my daughter was six month old, I have introduced first thing to my daughter is daal ka paani (cereal water), it was something new for her I can easily make out from her face. Then slowly started with semi solid food, and it was mix of juices, smashy fruits, Rice Cereal, and on everyday basis I have tried something new to introduce. But those food was new for her tummy and it takes time to absorb specially for 07 months old baby and definitely it takes time to digest for small babies when they move from liquid food to semi solid or solid food. When my daughter turned 10 months, I served her juicy fruits more often like Orange, Sapodila, Watermelon, Banana etc and simultaneously introduced variety of cereals which is healthy for baby’s body and helps reduce constipation. We mothers become very nervous when our baby is in pain and feeling uncomfortable, they sometime even can’t sleep at night because of the bowel movement . But mothers there is nothing to worry, with the help of homemade natural things you will be able to get out from this Constipation issue of your baby. 
Mother’s hard work and struggles while raising their kids always pays in later stage, hence I always request mothers not to feel bad or get frustrated when you are facing issues with your baby. we mothers are having inbuilt intuition which is always there with us, that’s how we are able to  manage things very easily.I would also like to request all my listeners to please share your thought/views/feedback about today’s episode and if you have any topic on which you want me to cover on my Podcast please write to me @[email protected], Would love to receive your comments.

In this episode,I am covering the topic which I think everyone is facing in today’s life and it’s become new normal to all of us. And most of the mothers including me already started to live the life with that and trying our child also to settle with this schedule, it’s none other than Covid-19. I would like to start this episode with my Story, let me share my experience when this lockdown started and how I dealt with this situation. It all started when we heard about this Corona Virus starting in January and in everyday news we used to heard about this Virus spreading in Other Parts in India and around the world. it entered completely but in starting week of March it started spreading all over India.

Because of this I think the most worried person even can be is all across the world Mothers, since we are worried because of our kids will get infected if they will go out, and mostly worried because of school. But when we mothers heard about even schools are getting closed and no need to send them, it’s a great relief for all of us. But simultaneously we mothers started thinking how to engage our kids at home and how to deal with them when they will be continue stay indoor? I think that was a question mark for everyone.

My daughter stopped going to school since then Govt has taken the step to shut down and keep complete lockdown till the time situation become normal. Initial few days are quite ok and my daughter was also enjoying her holidays. But after few days everyday becomes a normal routine and it’s become a very boring for her. Although We all have started to accept the fact that schools are shut and The thought of staying at home with kids during the Covid-19 lockdown has built up a certain level of stress and anxiety for mothers. We are already into a pandemic and if we mothers keeps on thinking about this issue, we will definitely fall sick mentally also. Hence I have decided to take this process sportingly and started engaging my daughter in various activities in fun way. 

Children are quite observant about what it is going on in their surrounding environment. Regardless of age, every kid is aware that the lifestyle has currently taken a pause and can sense that the adults around them are at unease. Set up a schedule for waking up, eating, and learning activities and fun things to do. This will help you as well as the kids to feel normalcy while also maintaining discipline.

I would like to request all my listeners to please share your thought/views/feedback about today’s episode and if you have any topic on which you want me to cover on my Podcast please write to me @[email protected]
