Tough Love for Moms | Encouraging and Equipping Moms to Do Hard Things

Are you believing any of these common MYTHS around weight loss? Us mamas grew up in a time when what was deemed "healthy" was misleading and, to this day, it can still influence our beliefs and choices on our journey AND about ourselves. (With that being said, I do want to let you know some possibly triggering things around food and "skinniness" are discussed, so if that might cause unwanted distress, listen another time! xo)

Michele Scarlet is a Holistic Health Practitioner and Fitness Expert on a mission to help women feel great inside and out. She resides in Toronto, Canada with her husband and helps women with their health through her virtual studio.

So it's time to bust some myths and take control of our thoughts. In this episode, Michele addresses the most common myths women struggle with when it comes to weight loss, teaches how to simplify nutrition and shift your mindset when it comes to your journey, and encourages you with tangible advice on how to take control of your thoughts. Time to get equipped, mama!

You snoozed your alarm an hour ago, the sun is peeping through your windows, and out of nowhere you hear "MOMMY!!" and jolt out of bed, reacting to the needs of someone else immediately... and the rest of the day.

You're exhausted, feel like you can't ever catch up, and just want to start the day feeling put together instead of behind. My kids were my alarm for a LONG time and I knew getting up earlier would help me feel more joyful, more productive, and just more put together, but it felt so far off.

In this episode, I'm going to teach you 3 simple steps to finally start getting up before your kids so they no longer need to be your alarm clock and you'll learn all it will do for your mindset too!

You've heard me say it before — we have no control over that first thought that comes into our mind, but our RESPONSE is 100% a choice.

Will you entertain it and spiral? Or do you do something about it? This is not a new concept, but knowing about it IS NOT enough. There's a missing piece and it has to do with how it's affecting you on an emotional and CONFIDENCE level. So get ready to be encouraged, you need this today. True grace. Let's go.

Working out with your kids around can be... a circus (for lack of a better term.) So I'm getting REAL and RAW with you today because I'm personally in the thick of changing up my routine and involving my kids in my workouts again.

It's HARD. I know you get it. But I have some encouragement for you along with some perspective and a little tough love, as always.

If you're in the thick of trying to instill new habits in YOURSELF while having to factor in or involve your children too, this episode is for you (spoiler: we talk about PERFECTION)! Stay the course, the long term benefit outweighs the short term struggle. I promise. xo

A huge factor in stress management IS indeed fitness and nutrition, but there are tons of other factors that play in as well — our space being one of them! Especially a space that is decluttered, organized, and simple.

In today's episode, Lauren White — host of the Intentional Edit Podcast — and I dive into how to manage the "stuff" that comes with becoming a mom and the clutter that tends to follow so that mentally we don't feel as "messy." You'll learn simple, time efficient strategies that will help you stay on top of things at home even if you truly have NO extra time to purge, declutter, or organize!

Lauren is a mom and former teacher turned professional home organizer, business owner, and simplicity enthusiast who is passionate about being organized, efficient and helping families find simplicity. Her mission is to help busy, overwhelmed moms find solutions that bring simplicity to their home and life, which result in less stress and more time spent doing favorite activities with their most cherished friends and family. Time to LEARN, mama!
