We’re in the middle of summer madness and it’s great and so much fun! But also, I’m wondering: Are you making time for yourself? Are you showing up every day in little ways for yourself, even though there’s a lot going on? 

Because, yes, summer can be an awesome time to hang as a family and it can mean more on your plate, less time to actually get things done, and SO MANY MEALS TO MAKE. Why do these people need to eat so very, very often?!?!

Today, we’re going to talk about how to still make time for yourself during what can be one of the busiest seasons of the year. By the end of this episode, you’ll have real, tangible tips to make sure that you are making yourself a priority in your own life. 

In this episode we talk about:

• Why you’ve gotta prioritize yourself, regardless of the season
• How I’ve learned to manage the daily, summer chaos while still making time for myself
• Why daily self-care is so essential and how you can start filling yourself back up
• Mom Guilt! Why she sucks so bad and tips for making her settle down 
• The mindset shift you’ve got to make to prioritize your own self-care
• Introducing “Fill Me-Ups” – a tried and true method to get you showing up for yourself every day
• How practicing joy and small actions can totally change your life (and practical tips to start doing it today!)

Last year, I was diagnosed with ADHD and it was a life-changing diagnosis. So many things came up with the diagnosis: grief over what I went through, relief that I wasn't broken, excitement that I had a new way of looking at myself. It was A LOT.

In this very personal episode, I break down my journey - how the diagnosis came about, what it looked like, what I’ve learned along the way, and how I’m managing it now - in the hopes that if you, or someone you know, is wondering about what a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis can look like, this can shine a light on it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What ADHD has looked like in my life and how it's shown up
• How I realized I might have ADHD and the process I went through to get diagnosed
• Ways that I've started to manage ADHD (and used what was already built into my life)
• Where ADHD trips me up and where it's really enhanced my life
• My decision to seek an official diagnosis and how I felt after
• How medication has affected my ADHD management and improved my daily life
• All sorts of messy stories about ADHD and how great it is and how complicated it can also be

Listen to the full podcast episode for an in-depth look at my journey with ADHD - the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the strategies that have helped me figure this out later in life.

And I want to hear from you! Do you have questions, thoughts, insights? Feel free to leave me a comment and I'll follow up!

Summer is here, or as I like to call it, High Mom Guilt Season. We're excited for our kids to be at home, we want to have fun with them, and we also know that it's going to be a lot because we still have to get things done.

And I don't care if you work full time, part time, or you're a stay-at-home mom, the pressures during summer are enormous: to have fun, to create memories, to keep them off the iPads all day, which is a whole thing in itself!

I don't have all the answers, but I do have some ideas so that you don't completely lose your mind and you can get a few summer memories on the books. So, get listening!

In this episode, we talk about:

• The importance of releasing your Mom guilt and learning to embracing imperfection
• Ideas for setting intentions for a memorable summer experience that aligns with your family’s values
• Ways to plan ahead so what's important shows up (and the kids aren't always telling you they're bored!)
• Why I think you gotta plan your fun too (and an easy way to do it!)
• Why it's absolutely crucial that you get support and don't do it all on your own
• The beauty of lowering summer expectations 

Ready to reclaim your summer sanity? Tune in for tangible tips and tricks to make sure you still show up in your summer and actually have a good time with your kids!

A lot of times, we think the answer to change lies in these big, seismic shifts that we believe will completely overhaul our lives. That everything will change when fill-in-the-blank happens, right? When I finally get the promotion, we move into that house, I make a million dollars, or whatever the huge goal is.

These moments can be fantastic - think about getting married, having kids, or moving to a new city. But I’ve found that true, lasting change actually happens in much smaller increments. And here's the secret: if you get really good at making small shifts on a consistent basis, you can change the trajectory of your days and, ultimately, your life.

Today, we’re going to talk about how powerful making small changes can be. Listen to the whole episode!

You'll hear about: 

• Why you can't only rely on big life changes for happiness
• The power of small, intentional shifts and how they can change your most important relationships
• How to easily implement small changes on a daily basis (with tangible examples!)
• Why consistency and gradual progress are the key to meaningful transformation
• An easy challenge that just might get things moving in the right direction
