"The Fruit Snacks Podcast" with Emily Wardrop, the T1D Moms Coach

Angela Adams from the "Embrace it all" podcast helps women who are struggling with anxiety understand that anxiety and overwhelm do not need to define who you are. You can embrace your hard emotions and thrive in your life. 

She is in the "empty nester" phase of Mothering and has some great advice for us as Moms of Young Kids! 

Learning how to embrace your emotions and your child's emotions is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your Mommy toolbox!

My friend Candice Noss is a shining example of the message that she teaches: You are designed for Greatness!

This is a really fun conversation with her where we can really see demonstrated the power of acknowledging our own self talk, recognizing whether those thoughts are from God or from the Adversary and intentionally choosing what thoughts we want to believe about ourselves and take on as identities. Like believing that you Are a Good Mom!

She sends out a "Thankful Thursday" email every Thursday which anyone can sign up for on her website.

Do people look at you with your "litter" of children at church and say comments like "I don't know how you do it all!" or ask you "How do you do it?!"

What is "it" exactly? 

Cause when people ask me that, my answer is that I don't do it "all". Who could? Who does? 

I don't think that anyone can or does "do it ALL"

We all have to make decisions all day long about what we are going to and not going to do. Sometimes we make those decisions unconsciously but regardless, the decisions are being made. I suggest you get intentional it and "pick your fights" where it best serves you and your kids.

And remember, if it doesn't determine whether you are a "good mom" or not, then just decide by what you want to do and not do.

You get to decide! You are the mother here now! No parenting expert on instagram or even your own mom can decide for you. You know you, you know your kids, and your desires will lead you to your best life. So start paying attention to you! You can be your own parenting expert. You have The Almighty God in your corner! He will lead you and guide you and walk beside you. He gave you the exact kids that you need and that need you for the optimal earth life experience. Trust the process. And do what you feel called to do. And drop the war on the rest! 

You've got this Momma! You don't have to do it ALL, you ARE a Good Mom no matter what. 

Still don't believe me? Or just want more support in making these deliberate decisions for yourself? I've got you! www.dropthewarlifecoach.com/believe

At "Drop the War Life Coaching" we are all about dropping power struggles with your littles to create more peace in your parenting. 

In this episode I demonstrate how I successfully did that with my 3 year old this morning before preschool. 

I am far from perfect at doing this on the regular And I am STILL a Good Mom!

And if you or someone you know has a child recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (I have two T1D daughters myself) send them to www.dropthewarlifecoach.com/t1d for more resources to help them through the mental and emotional roller coaster that that can be!

Secret Number 1: There is NO "Mommy report card"

You ARE a Good Mom and your kid is just being a kid! 

If you don't make their "misbehavior" mean that you're a terrible mom, then it doesn't have such weight. It wouldn't "drive you crazy" when they do what they do if it meant that it was just them being them. AND you are Still a Good Mom! 

You ARE a Good Mom and they ARE a Good Kid. And you both are humans doing the best you can. Now you can relax and wonder what's going on for them that is making them act this way and you can confidently handle the situation instead of feeling panic and needing them to stop asap so that you can feel better.

Try on the idea that there is no mommy report card. You are not failing if your kid is acting like a kid. (and he isn't either!)

And if you or someone you know has a child with Type 1 Diabetes, click here for the T1D Moms guide to help manage yourself while managing their diabetes. You can feel less scared, stressed, and sad and start feeling more confident, calm, and connection. 

Identity is sometimes yes or no and sometimes a little more complicated. 

Are you a Mom? Yes

Are you a good Mom? More complicated?..

It doesn't have to be. 

Try it on...

Are you a Mom? Yes

Are you a Good Mom? Yes! 

Say it with me now, "Yes! I AM a Good Mom!'

If you still don't believe it, check out www.dropthewarlifecoach.com/believe to get the free masterclass.
