The Hometeam Podcast

My favorite part of this episode is how honest Shannon is. Everyone knows someone or is someone who has experienced infertility or loss. If you're currently walking through a hard season, this episode will remind you that you are not alone. For those of us who aren't this episode will encourage you to listen better and be more mindful of the words we use with friends in pain. 

Join Sarah Rogers and I for a conversation about making space for the minor things that make you feel alive. Sarah offers practical tips on creating boundaries, rhythms, and space in your life. She is passionate about making time for the things that are most important to her, and in this episode, she will help you do the same. 

Welcome to the trailer for the Hometeam Podcast! 

I'm on a mission to create a Hometeam of women who can support, teach, and grow alongside one another as we navigate motherhood. My hope is that you would finish each episode feeling inspired and equipt with new strategies to help you take better care of yourself and your family. 

In this episode, we will chat about my background, the vision for the podcast, and what your can expect when you tune in each week. 

Thanks for joining the Hometeam!

Meet my dear friend, Erika Garcia. She is hands down, the most positive mom I know. It has always seemed to be like she must know something I don't about motherhood that keeps her so happy, even as hard seasons come.

In this episode, we sit down to chat about how she talks about and to her kids. What I learned is that Erika is a super intentional parent. She takes responsibility for her mood, words, and energy when she's around her kids, and she seems to know that see sets the tone for their home. 

Pay special attention to the part where she talks about verbal affirmations and apologies to her kids. I love this idea that the way she treats her kids will be what they expect in future relationships. This influence as a role model seems to empower and energize her, whereas so many moms I see feel overwhelmed by this. Throughout the episode, she also shares several tips and tricks for being more patient, honest, and intentional with kids.
