What is your New Year's Resolution? 

How confident are you that you'll be successful with it? 

I would love to help! Life Coaching is for people with beautiful wonderful lives like yours AND you also yearn for more. And you might feel guilty about that. You have it all. You've always wanted to be a mom and you finally are. You have a great and supportive husband. And it's still a struggle. Why? And what do you do about it. A life coach can help you answer those questions! I'd be honored to be that life coach.

Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning Peace! 

We are all about dropping the war to create more peace in our parenting here at Drop the War Life Coaching!!

Peace be with you, my friend! Especially at this Christmas time of year when we are all about Peace on Earth. And especially at this Hanukkah time of year also!!

How do we create more peace when it's just chaos of kids swirling around us all the time? That is what we explore in this episode! 

Peace be with you, my friends! Shalom that is not an absence of trials or of "negative" emotions but a Peace that comes from believing that you Are a Good Mom and that it is all part of the plan. It's all good. It's all for your good. Eternally. You are a good eternal celestial being and in order to continue to progress, we are in this mortal experience and it's all for our learning, growth, and development. It's all good. Even the bad. For me, with this perspective, I get into a Peaceful state of mind. A way of being. Shalom Peace is a calm reassurance that everything is as it should be. 

When things start getting wild, breathe in the Shalom! Acceptance. They are doing what they're doing. You are reacting the way you are reacting. It's all part of the human experience. Shalom. Acceptance. Peace. It is as it should be. It is as it is. Literally stop and breath it in. 

Breath in the Shalom for Peace, my friends! You can do it!! And of course as always, if you need help, I'm a free zoom chat away dropthewar.com/appointments

Shalom Chaverim "Goodbye and be safe my friends. Until we meet again, have peace."

Merry Christmas season, my friends!!

Today's episode is "story time" so grab your teddy and gather around on the carpet criss cross apple sauce for me to read you this great book By Melissa Sunday and Alyssa Parker "See Christ in Christmas. 12 symbols of Christmas"

In this beautiful book, Melissa and Alyssa remind us of how each symbol around us represents Jesus and helps us to see Him everywhere at this time of year. 

I love this so much and I love to see Him everywhere at all times of year and that, my friends, is how we drop the war to find more Peace in our Parenting. It is through Jesus Christ. No matter what mayhem and chaos comes with raising all these little kiddos, Peace is always still available. One breath of heaven away. 

Enjoy a peaceful Sabbath day today with love and laughter. And fighting, tantrums, and whining. ;) My wish for you today and all season is that you soak it all in deeply. It is going by so fast. No time to wallow in self pity with blame and shame. Give yourself the gift this year of dropping those wars and enjoying the peace that comes from loving your life! Love on those littles so hard. They are only little for so long. And we have the rest of eternity to look back with fondness to this magical time when we can celebrate Christmas with our small children! Don't let the stresses and task distract you from the love and joy and peace. 

I Love You, dear listeners. Thank you for being on this journey with me!

I frequently talk about your need as a Mom to fill up your cup first. You can’t pour out of an empty pitcher. And you have to put on your oxygen mask first in order to keep anyone else alive also.

So in these metaphors, what is the oxygen exactly? How do you put on that mask? How do you fill your cup? And with what?

The amazing and lovely coach Zil Eiler tells us her story today of when she was a struggling young mom who was filling her cup with the wrong juice. She loves Orange Juice and maybe she was drinking that but must have been trying to drink it from a sippy cup. Ever try to drink freshly squeezed OJ from those tiny holes? Doesn’t work! Or maybe it was milk. Are you trying to fill your cup with the wrong bev?

In modern-day slang, “juju” typically refers to a sort of positive, magnetic power — an energy, feeling, or vibe that any of us can create, give off, or experience.

I’d like to offer that we all fill our cups with our own personal form of juju juice. You have to discover what that is for you specifically. And it can change with your changing seasons. But what works for one person doesn't necessarily fill someone else. You are an individual. Your job is to learn who you are. And what fills you. 

You ARE a Good Mom! If you don't feel that, maybe you haven't discovered your flavor of jujujuice yet. But you can. Keep exploring. Keep trying. 

And know that you are worth it! You are a person also. You have talents and gifts and interests and the world needs them. You are a Mom AND you Are YOU! 

Find out who that is! Living in alignment with your inherent self is awesome!!

🚀Sky rocket your coaching business by building your confidence.

Alyssa Michaela Jaco is a People-Pleasing Expert and Health and Life Coach. She stopped waiting to be saved & became the hero of her own story.

Alyssa shares with us her journey and how coaching has helped her. She said that before coaching she never knew that she had choices.

Codependency can come into play when we are trying to control other people's emotions with our choices.

And we are all dynamic people who swing from one end of the continuum to the other all the time. We can't arrive at a static destination and stay there forever. And we don't need to identify ourselves by any certain action or trait. 

None of this work is one and done. 

That's why we all need a coach or two all the time! Cause we'll never coach ourselves out of being human. 

You ARE a Good Mom and that is not determined by how your family is feeling. Truly. Don't believe me? Let's chat! www.dropthewar.com/appointments

And be sure to follow Alyssa on instagram for more help with people pleasing and to keep your blonde hair healthy!

No spoilers here, you've got to tap into the episode for the details on how to recharge each. And seriously, this is the secret sauce, my friends! The secrets to getting the life you've always wanted. To becoming the Mom you've always desired to be. 

Listen in, this is So Good!!

My life coach, Jody Moore, taught me that what my brain is (almost always!) doing is what she calls the Shame/Blame trap.

I'll teach you what that is in this episode

AND I will teach you the quick and easy brain hack to get you out of the trap!! 

It's all quick and easy in theory and if you need help putting it into actual practice, hit me up on FB, IG, or sign up for a free zoom chat at www.dropthewar.com/appointments and we'll work through it together. I've got you! 

Let's create some more Peace on Earth this Christmas starting with Peace in yourselves and with your families!! One Good Mom at a time!!!
