What are you referring to when you think that your neighbor friend is "such a good mom"?

Or when you call yourself such a terrible mom?

What determines whether you or anyone else are worthy of this title?

What are the "Yeah But"s that come to mind when I tell you that you can believe YOU ARE a Good Mom?!

I guarantee that all the things you just thought of are works. Actions. Behaviors.

Works do NOT determine Worth!

Your worth as an eternal being is 100%. Unchanging. It just IS.

You are also a human being right now and your worth is still 100%.

Your actions are not 100% good, but your worth is still 100%.

Just try believing that for one second and see how it feels.

It's a relief, right?!

I have finally found PEACE by believing this.

Yes I am a flawed human that thinks, feels, and acts out of alignment with who I eternally AM.

AND I am STILL 100% valuable.

No matter what, even if, and especially when.

And SO ARE YOU!

And so are your kids!

And your husband, and your neighbors, and in-laws, and even the politicians!

If you are struggling to believe this, please sign up for your FREE RBC. In just a few minutes on a zoom chat, I can boost any relationship you are struggling to believe is 100%.

Worth and worthiness are a little different and we delve into that in this episode. Be sure to listen in! This belief can literally change your life. Then share it with a friend. Their life can benefit from this change also!

You are a Mom of young kids. Your life is crazy, chaotic, and busy. Everyone is pulling you in a thousand different directions all the time. You never get a break.

Day in and day out (and all through the night!) you are meeting everyone else's needs.

You are nurturing relationships with each one of your children and that takes a lot out of you.

You love your kids fiercely and you are also a person. That needs taking care of.

When and how do you take care of yourself?

My friend and fellow life coach Amanda Louder believes that one way we, as women, and as moms, can take care of ourselves is through sex.

A lot of us have been conditioned to believe that sex is for the man. And that our husbands are just one more person that we need to take care of. But if you look at the sexual differences between men and women, maybe God actually had something different in mind.

Listen in to this episode to learn more.

Amanda Louder is a Certified Sex & Marriage Coach who helps Christian men & women overcome their obstacles to create a more emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically intimate relationship.  She is also the host of the Sex for Saints Podcast that has over 1 Million Downloads.

In addition to being a coach, Amanda is also a wife to Kevin, and mom and step-mom to 5 kids, ranging in ages from 14-23.  In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching her kids play sports, fishing, and camping.

Satan is the father of lies.

He takes truth and changes it just enough so it's harder to discern that it is a lie.

We have to be aware of this.

And consciously sift through the 60,000 thoughts we have a day to find and discard the lies.

You do not have to believe every thought that crosses your mind.

A LOT of them are lies.

We need to get awareness with acceptance in order to live in alignment.

How do we know if what we're thinking is true or not?

Your body will tell you.

Thoughts all cause vibrations in the body that we refer to as emotions.

How does that thought feel?

What is the message that your feelings are trying to tell you?

Is it true?

You ARE Not your feelings.

If you are in the habit of saying "I am Angry or I am impatient", those are lies.

You ARE Good. And you FEEL all the feels. And that's ok. You don't need to IDENTIFY with the feeling. It's just an emotion. Not a label.

You also might be lying in your Action Line.

What are you doing that is out of alignment with your true self?

We may even be lying unconsciously in our actions. Our efficient brains memorize patterns of behavior that send out lies to those around us.

If we are practiced at being overwhelmed and frustrated, we are snippy with our kids and annoyed when they interrupt us, and the child will interpret our actions as the lie that we don't love them. Of course we love them! And we are feeling feels that are driving actions that are lying.

We HAVE to stop lying to ourselves and to everyone around us!

But HOW?

Through my AAA coaching framework. Awareness, Acceptance, and Alignment.

Satan doesn't have a family or a body.

So he uses ours as his centers for attack.

We frequently talk about how to protect our families with love.

How about our bodies?

Body love is a hot topic right now and I think that is awesome.

Cause our prior cultural body shaming tactic didn't work and actually caused much more harm than good.

You cannot beat yourself up better.

Love and Acceptance is the only way to change.

I am offering a new 8 week coaching package to support you in your journey of self-love, body-love, and transforming into your aligned eternal self both inside and out.

Co-Parenting is so hard.

Your brain's job is to prove itself right.

So you are right.

Which means your husband must be wrong if he doesn't agree with you.

This is not a useful function of our brain in this circumstance.

We need to manage that default setting with some intentional thoughts that will serve us and our families better.

On our T1D Moms Support Group call today we talked about how to get on the same page with our spouse.

Do you ever struggle with that?

Whether you have a child with type 1 diabetes or not, if you have a child and you have someone else who you coordinate care of that child with, this episode is for you!

I am sharing a bouquet of new thoughts for you to try on right in time for Mother's Day!

Let your husband and kids appreciate you in the best way that they know how. It won't be exactly right but they are trying.

And when you believe that you ARE a Good Mom, you will receive that love more graciously.

More about that on my upcoming Mother's Day Podcast

When I tell you that you ARE a Good Mom, what comes up for you?

All the "yeah buts"

"reasons" why you think that you are not a good mom.

But nothing you can tell me that you did, thought, or felt will convince me that you are anything but a Good Mom.

Why?

Because I know that God Loves and Accepts you.

Just as you ARE!

Even just as you are today.

In your imperfect state making all sorts of mistakes.

And when you can love and accept your flawed self, then and only then can you make improvements.

I promise that this is how it works.

If you don't believe me, just try it!
