I talk about mindfulness and mindful self-compassion a lot on the Mindful Mommy Doc Podcast, but today we’re going deep into what mindfulness really is and how we can all weave it into our daily lives with Carina Devi. We’ll not only be diving into how mindfulness can help us get unstuck from the mental loops we sometimes find ourselves in, help us savour the magic of motherhood, and make mindfulness a part of our lives, but Carina is also sharing a short meditation to give you a taste of what you can expect from the Mindful Mamas app.

The #1 word I hear from Mamas is: CONFLICTED

Do you know that feeling? 

If you’re great at work, you’re not the mom you want to be, if you’re focused on your kids, your work begins to suffer, and somewhere in all of this, the time you spend on your partner, friendships, relatives, chores...and (maybe you) all feel at odds with one another.

Can you relate?

As modern moms we’re skilled at juggling it all, but keeping all those balls in the air can leave us drained and burnt out.

There's a better way.

How You Ask?

The Change Happens When You Build a Life That’s: CENTERED

Come Join Me for the one-day Centered Mamas Live Retreat on January 30th. Me, along with a host of experts & thought leaders will educate you on building and achieving a Centered Life where you are spending more time on what matters most to you and freeing up time spent on tasks/household duties and chores.

We will also create YOUR very own centered life blueprint and learn how to live according to what matters most to you. 

This retreat will give you the tools and inspiration to be the kind of mom you want to be.

Do you want to know the answer to all of your vexing questions? If you answered yes, then you’ll need to check out the amazing podcast You Must Know Everything, hosted by Jeremy Smith, and his daughter, Rasa.

It is just me, Whitney, today, talking about a very personal topic, but one that you can probably relate to. Two words: mom fail. With the current pandemic situation there are so many opportunities for us as moms to feel like we’re just not doing it right, or that we’re doing all of the things but none of them well. I’m sharing a personal story of my own mom fail, and talking about how so many of those moments where we feel like we fail are really just life moments, and do not define us as moms.

Debbie Reber is a parenting activist, best-selling author, podcast host, speaker, and mother to a child who is differently wired. Before creating TiLT Parenting, Debbie spent more than fifteen years writing inspiring books for woman and teens on issues like media literacy, self-esteem, and confidence. 

When she learned that her son, Asher, was differently wired, she spent years figuring out how to best support him and recognized how incredibly difficult it is to find solid, reliable, useful, and optimistic, information for parents like her.

In 2016 she launched TiLT Parenting as a podcast and community so parents stuck in this place of frustration and not-knowing can feel connected and hopeful as they move forward in figuring out what their child needs. 

In this episode, Debbie is sharing some of the lessons she learned along her journey in parenting an atypical child, the a-ha moment she had when she realized that she wasn't showing up for her son the way he needed her to be, and she is giving some of her best advice for co-parenting when you have a differently wired child. We covered so many topics in this episode that I know will be valuable for parents of atypical and typical children alike!

It’s incredibly powerful when we learn to show up for our kids by being present with them in their good times and their more difficult times. Parental presence shapes who our kids become and how their brains get wired.
