This is your sign to take "to be happy" off of your goal list... Happiness is a temporary state of being---not a place to live. This is critical when it comes to how we parent.  As we mentioned in the first release of this episode, research on our actions may be preventing our children from experiencing needed distress. Yes, needed. Distress is an opportunity to learn coping skills and grow as an individual. Listen to how we, as moms, work to reframe our responses...

Here is a classic and needed re-visit of our Season 2 episode, "Toxic Relationships." As we hopefully take some time to reflect while on a trip, sitting in our car enjoying a coffee or icecream, or while just finding a moment to breathe, we sometimes come to a point where we realize some relationships are no longer serving us and need to be let go with "love and light." Listen in as we hash this one out! 

Also, don't forget to hit-up our social media with suggestions for Season 4 coming this fall!

The silent battles with mental health are often cloaked in the shadows of stigma and can lead to the most tragic event of all: suicide. Our latest episode takes a heartfelt look at this issue through a moving memorial service for a woman who lost her fight. This is a difficult topic. But if we want to change the stigma surrounding one of the leading causes of death in the United States, we have to start to become comfortable with discussing the uncomfortable. We need to move towards greater empathy and understanding.   Our show is a call to action for more open conversations surrounding mental health, urging a collective approach to foster a more empathetic society in which no one suffers in silence. Help is available. Text or call 988.  There is hope. There are people who care. There are other options.

Coincidence or something bigger than this world? The Universe? God? Whatever you choose to call “IT”, have you experienced a wink from your higher power? You may pass it off as a coincidence, but oftentimes these are signs pointing us in the right direction and/or messages from loved ones. Take some time to sit and observe. Just sit and look. You might be surprised by what you see!
