Our brains are incredible - and we have so much power to use our brains as tools to get us where we want to go life. In this episode with change and neuroplasticity coach Faith Hoskins, we are addressing how we can rewire our brains for change.

• What neuroplasticity means for our brains
• The impact that pursuing our dreams and desires can have on our kids
• How to lean into desire withoutallowing limiting beliefs to hold you back

"Enjoy every moment!" We've all heard it before. And yet let's be real, not every moment of motherhood (or life for that matter) is enjoyable. And when we are led to believe that not enjoying it all means we are doing something wrong, the impact can be detrimental.

So this week, I am counteracting the narrative that we should enjoy every moment, and instead letting you know it's OK (and totally normal) to experience complex human feelings. My goal, is to help you feel more self-compassionate through it all.

The season of gratitude is upon us, but so often I find that conversations about gratitude can be surface-level and abstract. We know that gratitude can be a powerful tool, but how is it supposed to actually look in our lives?

In this episode, Holly and I talk about:

• The evidence that gratitude is more than a buzzword and can actually transform your life
• How gratitude helps break the suffer cycle
• The reason traditional gratitude practices tend to not really work
• Why a mindset of gratitude must be adopted to have a truly transformational impact
• The 4 gratitude personality types, and how each embraces gratitude differently

The holiday season is a time for peace and joy, but for moms it can often end up looking like more stress and chaos instead. It's like everything that is supposed to be magical can end up just being another something on our plate. But it doesn't have to be that way.

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed for an episode of The Executive Coach For Moms Podcast with Leanna Laskey McGrath, and the conversation was too good not to bring here to you! Leanna was gracious enough to share the episode with us, and so that is what you are hearing in this episode.

Tune in to learn how you can embrace self-care during the holidays and make this time less stressful and more magical for you.
