The Momset Podcast

It was midnight on the second full day of my REVIVE Retreat that I picked up my phone, opened Instagram and instantaneously felt a dip in my electric energy and a cloud in my mental clarity. I noticed this soft thought say "please don't make me open that" and put my phone back down. I am using this episode to unpack the experience I had and why I decided for the first time EVER to take a full 10 days off of social media and how much it has served me.

I personally kept the apps on my phone and just committed to staying off of them. If the visual temptation is difficult for you or reactive out of habit, then you can delete the apps too.

It's important to make a decision and commit to it AND honor what you truly want.

There is so much goodness in your life right now and it is much easier to see it when you focus on it.

You have so much patience within you right now and it is much easier to use it when you slow things down.

I hope this episode encourages you to take a day away from social media. Just one day to get a taste and maybe you'll join me for a full 10 days in February 2024 when I do it again after my next REVIVE Retreat.

We will be opening spots for the February REVIVE Retreat on November 1, 2023 and we keep a limit of 16 attendees to ensure this event remains intimate.

Stay up to date on courses (new parenting mindset course coming sooooon), events and golden mindset goodness ⁠through email⁠.

I love you with my entirety,

Tessa Romero

Have you ever felt persecuted at a doctors office because the physician does not agree with your life choices and priorities?

How about feeling persecuted by a family member for the way you are choosing to raise your kids?

Maybe you've felt persecuted by your spouse when you expressed an opinion or desire.

The truth is, we are GOING to get persecuted in most every area of our life. The magic is in the way you handle it.

Do you become aggressive? Do you hide your hurt? Do you "one up them?"

My recent experience at a doctors office was exactly what I didn't know I needed (and certainly wouldn't have chosen for myself at the time) to help me step further into who I really am.

A wonderful woman that can feel hurt and be kind. I can show my hurt, rather than hiding it and be human and be kind. It really was so healing for me to experience that hurtful moment AND claim my opportunity.

I hope this episode inspires you to treat people differently, even if you are being persecuted.

From one mama to another, I get it. I get the tantrums, night time wake ups, craving a quiet moment to yourself and feeling overstimulated in the daily details.

I also know that even with all of that, you want to BE the mama you envisioned yourself being. You want to see progress in the intentional direction of your choosing and feel proud of who you are.

I have two steps to break down for you that will help you do that!

Along with these two steps you will find what to avoid along the way and direct examples of what this looks like in action!

I love that you are here and we get to do this work together,

Let's get started!

Tessa Romero

Start journaling to calm your mind.

Follow along on IG for daily examples and inspiration!

I feel so grateful to have friends in my life that share their unique and bold perspectives with me so that I may be blessed with them, too. That's what I want to share with you today, too.

It can feel really hard to heal when life continues to look the same way and we continue to think the same way about our experiences.

A friend of mine shared a bold perspective with me earlier this year and I believe it can help you make shifts like it did for me, too.

Consider the writing exercise at the end of this episode because pen to paper is MAGIC for your mind. Love you dearly and thank you for being here!

If I were to ask a mother who she wants to be, I would likely hear "capable" in that statement somewhere. I have been coaching my sweet mama friends like you for five years now and it's clear as day why we'd want to feel capable.

Life would be easier if we knew we were capable, right?!

I am bringing a new perspective to the party on this, after a dear client of mine who we will call "sarah" shared this exact statement with us and we were able to unpack why it was hurting her progress so much and actually taking her AWAY from who she wanted to be.

Mama, it's a beautiful thing to choose who you are and I want to help you live life like her because you deserve it. Deep breath and let's get started.

p.s. I am bringing an excited change to the podcast soon and I didn't want episodes to pause in the process, so I removed the intro for now. Stay tuned!!

Make sure you are growing your identity through daily writing using my proven alignment journaling method.

It's time we agreed on one thing, that we ARE influenced.

Who you choose to allow into your head space will influence you for better or worse and the mind is such a fascinating place. The subconscious mind has no sense of humor so all of the "dark humor of motherhood" and little gabs at spouses and "jokes" about kids, are taken literally in your mind.

I want you to intentionally choose who is in your mind. Are they living their rent free- taking up space without giving you anything in return?

Clean up your influences today and see how your mind shifts!

I've been working really hard on myself this year and I want you to have the same clarity and vision for your life to be beautiful, joyful and pleasant to be in mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Lets stay connected on IG so I can keep the mindset flowing your way!

Put pen to paper before you join me back here next week! I'll teach you step by step how to journal for lasting change.

My sweet angel five year old boy is an early riser. Really, always has been and while I will say it is MUCH better than his 4:45 am wakings of his younger years, he still starts his day between 6:00 am and 6:30 am.

Which is what it is as I have learned.

Only, I used to think it's just who he is. He wakes up early because he is a morning person and I am grateful that Liam has taught me how to become a morning person, too. There was just a HUGE part of his morning wakings that I was oblivious to until a few days ago.

Everything about his early mornings changed for me because of one simple shift in mindset.

That is what I am sharing with you today :)

You can grab your journaling course and join me in creating a BRIGHT, brilliant and loving mindset. You'll never regret time on the paper enriching your mind and I'll teach you step by step how to do it, as well as encourage you with prompts and examples every week because

we are in this together.

I love you with all I've got and I know the world needs our light and positivity NOW more than ever.

p.s. please pray, donate and support Lahaina, Maui in every way you can.

In my newbie beginner ways of doing life over here, I am thrilled to find little ways to continue to share with you and encourage you to

BE A BEGINNER and embrace the "one step at a time" point in life.

If you're in a place to change something in your life and work on yourself, (aren't we all???) then it is time to condition your mindset to support that.

This episode is full of my favorite quote, a proverb I found and how we can choose the hard we are willing to experience and endure in life, with great purpose and fulfillment.

Tessa Romero

Remember to put pen to paper if you really want to change the way you think :) I can teach you how!

Okay, I love audio books a lot AND I'm noticing my love for them actually comes from a limiting belief that "I am a slow reader" and "I am not good at reading." So, here I am. Devoted to reading everyday instead of just listening on Audible. I finished two books in the last three weeks and I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! Which brings us to this episode!

You've heard "if you don't use it, you lose it" in many examples. Think about it with muscles and playing an instrument.

Muscles need to be used if you want them to stick around, and music skills need to be practiced to keep them.

I was reading the book "Hunt, Gather, Parent" recently and there was a specific part that stood out to me about cultivating awe to help parents and children feel angry less often.

Then it hit me... if I don't spend more intentional time creating good feelings of joy, gratitude, awe, love and excitement, then it would make sense that I would lose the ease of creating them.

It makes sense why anger, frustration, irritability, shame and insecurity are so easy when we've been using them SO MUCH.

I am unpacking this shift with you in the hopes that by the end of this episode, you are clear on what you'd like to lose and how you can begin doing so.

Find the journaling course here if you'd like my help rewriting the story in your mind and increasing the ease of feeling GOOD!

Remember, God loves you and you are already forgiven. It's okay to give yourself a fresh perspective and chance at life.

With love, Tessa Romero

My coach, Natty, is a gift and the four questions she asked me as I sat puzzled with what my "next step should be" completely shifted my focus and perspective in one swift whirlwind.

I am sharing these questions with you in the hopes that you use them to gain clarity and shift focus when and where it is needed in your life.

My hope is that if you, like me, want to feel like someone that can talk to God like you hear other people do, you can. And you can use these four questions to get started.

If you're interested in one on one coaching with me, please email me at [email protected] with the subject "coaching"

It feels messy sharing about my faith here and to be honest, I am learning so much and changing my mind in an ongoing way- which feels so freeing.

You are loved.

You are forgiven.

You can move forward.

Let's keep working on the story in your mind with good ol' fashioned pen to paper journaling. There's a reason that writing is so relieving and healing and I want you to know exactly how to do it!
