Have you heard the saying protect your peace? Is it really necessary to create boundaries to make this happen? What does time feel like for a mother with multiple children, clients to serve, and multiple business roles to attend to versus another without as many children, roles or tasks on their plate?

 Why do some of us choose to "dance on the skinny branches" and continue to challenge ourselves as Margaret Richards says instead of staying in a comfort zone?

You are likely open to evolving if you are listening to this podcast. Maybe you know someone in your family work or community circle you admire. You may also know some people that look for things to complain about because they don't have enough on their plate? Or maybe they are afraid to expand and evolve? It is easier for them to try to control their environment, which may include you. 

I have a cohort in my private mamas community I will be guiding starting very soon. The details will be revealed the end of May. You get to choose who you engage with, what you do and how you move forward. This is an invitation and opportunity to choose joy. Enter your name and email on my website listed below, to be invited to my private community where all the details and opportunities are available to you. If you are coachable, open to try new things and ready to stop spinning your wheels, feeling like you're always missing out, T.I.M.E. is for you.

In This Episode:

- Boundaries as standards for a joyful life experience, not control or division

- The feeling of experiencing time as mothers with multiple children and business roles

- Choosing new opportunities because you "Get To"

- Allowing the Holy Spirit to guide, pausing rather than reacting

-When miracles show up, notice them & feel grateful

Do you relate to being rewarded for doing more? Maybe you were noticed more at home, school or work when you pushed harder. We are all here to experience God's blessings, which doesn't mean only focusing on the outcome. Physically are not all created to work long hours or produce more. We have different gifts.

In this episode you will learn why doing more isn't always the answer. There will be examples, including elements for a strong foundation so that you are able to have better experiences without piling on more knowledge or certifications.

Have you heard someone refer to themselves as a people pleaser? They likely don't realize they are reinforcing this behavior by labeling themselves. I can deeply relate to this role of trying to avoid conflict. Do we really get to interact with the unique person when they are agreeing with everything and everyone around them? Are there people in your life that prefer others around them to stay in this role if their opinion is different than their own?

In this episode, I will give examples of people pleasing behavior and other choices that allow everyone to feel safe to have a different opinion, make our own choices and learn the lessons we are here to learn with grace for ourselves and others.

Disease is much more likely when there is constant stress and pressure. Only you can make better choices moving forward. You get to choose what people have the privilege of knowing, with what you choose to share and what type of relationship to have with others. If asking for advice, choose people with a history of integrity and an unbiased opinion in order to discern your next step.

Are you creating an example for your children that forgiveness is available and honoring better choices moving forward is possible? If each person in a relationship takes 100% responsibility, there isn't a victim. This concept allows each person to own their part leading up to, during and after a situation to move forward.

In This Episode:

-Notice patterns of consistently judging you from people and choose if you want to nurture a relationship or care for them from afar instead

-Safety, belonging and community we all crave, is possible with the choices you make

-Acknowledging 100% contribution of both people in a relationship to a situation eliminates one being a victim

-Everything is happening in this moment

Trusting yourself can be the hardest thing to follow through on in many situations. God made all of us unique and being authentic is living that individual gift to the fullest. We attract aligned relationships in all areas of our lives when we feel safe to have a point of view without being judged. Our children learn from our example with the type of relationships we choose to be available for and compassion for others, especially those that may be here to teach us a lesson.

In this episode, I will give examples you may relate to. Are people in your life for a reason, season or lifetime? One of my daughter's read the modern version on social media that read something like you never run into people again once their cycle in you life is complete. I find that so interesting, as I believe we do learn from relationships and hopefully evolve. I notice a few common traits of my current chosen relationships, including calmness, trusting, not judgmental and they don't tend to compare themselves to others in an unhealthy way.

In this episode, you will learn:

-Different people have a different point of view and can still respect each other

-Being authentic includes allowing yourself to have desires and opinions on what you want for your children, the type of work roles you create and relationships you wish to nurture 

-Integration is an option rather than choosing in your roles and what you are available for in this season

-Judgement or advice on your role as a mother or business from people without experience in these areas may include an intention that doesn't serve you

-What traits your desired relationships have in common

Do you choose a word for the year? My word of the year for 2026, Joy. Trust as the intention behind my word also allows me to release stress and instead invite more creativity. 

In this episode, I discuss words from previous years starting in 2022. I choose my word before the year starts, typically in November. Simplicity was my word that year and was the beginning of the foundation I have built moving forward. Something heavy happened just before the year started, therefore the word was perfect.

Release was my word in 2023 helping me make space for new things in 2024. This included physical and digital. Do you have a practice for decluttering throughout the year?

 Surrender for 2024 allowed me to welcome a new business idea and again helped me through some heavy things, not within my control.

Wisdom in 2025 helped me discern through chaos happening all year and find the solution to physical pain I was dealing with. What a blessing when you need to make wise decisions. Noticing who your genuine supporters really are 

In This Episode You Will Learn:

-Decades of not enough play and joy feel heavy. Balancing the scale of giving and receiving to a healthier level of both feels great. Did you know D.O.S.E.  neurotransmitters and hormones like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins are positive. Daily walks and morning meditation is helping me regularly reduce Stress hormones like Cortisol and Adrenaline.

-What ideas might light you up as a mom? I love time alone with each of my children and watching them in their individual creativity. I love shopping with my girls and golfing with my son.

-Are you surrounding yourself with reciprocal, authentic and joyful relationships in your business and personal life? Date nights with my husband, lunch or coffee with girlfriends and business relationships that inspire and gently push me in a positive direction from good examples. I have had the courage to have hard conversations and evolve in both areas. The result is more Joy.

The are different types of love. We can create space for love and choose to spread it to others creating a ripple effect. As mothers, being the example for our children of showing unconditional love is a gift extended to the many people they have contact with. Allowing them to feel that love regardless of their mistakes. God does not have conditions on the love for us and the continued grace we receive is an example we can use toward our children, friends, people in our businesses and community.

Releasing shame as humans on a journey I believe is part of this. We are living in different seasons, hopefully not reliving the past, depending on current consciousness. This allows safety, even when we disagree with others. We don't need to feel that we need to engage with everyone. If someone desires a conversation to resolve an issue, being open and honest is important. The denial of your contribution to a situation or of the present moment continues the cycle we show our children of what loving behavior is.

I share an activity to feel and share love in this episode, remembering the most loving moments you have ever experienced and feeling them again. We desire more of these moments naturally and can spread these feelings to others and then back to ourselves to fill our cups to overflow.

In This Episode:

-Different types of love, conditional and unconditional, God's love is unconditional

-Being the example for our children causes a ripple effect to many

-Love yourself in order to be loving

-Denial of the present moment or "shoulding" others is not effective, remove blocks

-Choosing to participate in authentic loving relationships attracts more 

-Spreading the love activity with a ripple effect

Are you looking for new ideas to find joy daily and craving a reset in this new season?

In this episode of The Integrative Mother Experience with Sarah Swift, I am a guest on the podcast Live A Vibrant Life. Host Kelly Tibbitts and I discuss ideas going into the new year in the winter season to create warmth, maintain a healthy lifestyle and creating spaces you crave being in. This episode is for you if you need ideas to reset during the winter months.

I previously loved the short WI summer season as my favorite, but I had a shift a couple years ago. I also just turned 51 and as a Capricorn, this season really resonates with me. I enjoy the reset after the holidays, the grounding feeling and my ability to be a vessel that is able to hold after slowing down. It helps me in creating discipline in the new year. My intentions to notice things that are joyful continue daily, regardless of the season.

My morning routine for the last few years is waking up most often very early, without an alarm clock. A dark and calm start to my day. Previous to the last five years, before my nervous system was regulated, I worked most days well into the evenings as a hairstylist. I had been doing it for over three decades and really enjoyed sleeping in. I would press the snooze for sure. Two years ago there was a big shift in that routine.

In this episode we discuss three things:

-First for warmth I have several types of winter coats to keep me warm, from my wool dress coat and cute scarf that I enjoy wearing to the salon over my dressy outfits, my iconic fuzzy casual blush coat, as my daughter's friend calls it and my extra warm winter coat that I wear when walking my dog Nora daily. We agree the warmth of a fireplace or pellet stove feels cozy and dim lighting to start the day. My morning ritual making warm coffee and warm soups or chili.

-Second for health we discuss both being gluten-free and all the new choices available. The benefits of resetting or grounding, muscle toning exercise and daily walks outside in nature with my dog Nora. 

-Third for cleaning a space the importance of lighting and dimmers. Also the intention of a space and making it feel clutter free and special for the purpose it is intended for, including the view of the lake with the addition of a well placed mirror, a refresh to a beauty area and color coding in my office.
