Episode Summary:

So today's show is going to be a little different than my others. I think a lot of you already know that my husband Joey and I are expecting our second little boy here any day now. I basically started working on this podcast right after I found out I was pregnant, so our little guy has been a huge part of this show… he's literally been with me every second of it all. And now that his due date is approaching, I have a couple of announcements about the podcast and about the Working Parent Resource in general that I wanted to share with you.

First of all, I wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to be taking a little Summer hiatus from the podcast so I can slow down a little and get into "momma mode," which means I won't be releasing any new episodes in June or July. I'll definitely be back in August again with our normal weekly schedule, but I wanted to let you know there would be a gap in new episodes for a couple of months there. I actually have several interviews already recorded which I'm really excited to release, and I'll tell you more about some of those episodes coming up here in a few minutes. But once this baby arrives, I know there will be a lot of other things going on and I didn't want to be distracted from welcoming our little boy to the world and helping our son adjust to having a little brother and all of the other things that happen when you add a new baby to the family. So first and foremost, thanks to you all for being patient while I take this time for my family.

In the meantime, we have a pretty awesome archive of episodes that you can go back and listen to if you haven't heard them yet. And since I know there are still some new listeners, I thought today I would talk a little about my top 5 episodes so far so you can go back and listen to those while I'm on this little baby/Summer hiatus. These are all ranked by the actual download numbers. So here are my top 5 episodes of the Working Parent Resource podcast so far – counting down from 5 to 1.

Episode Summary:

Esther Littlefield is a feisty pastor's wife to her husband, Scott, and mom to her spirited daughter, KJ. They live in Maine where they enjoy as many outdoor adventures as possible in the midst of homeschooling, business, and church life. In her free time, you'd probably find her with a cup of coffee, a good friend, and a sink full of dishes. Esther writes at wellnessmomlife.com, helping moms balance marriage, motherhood, and ministry by caring for their personal, physical, spiritual, and relational wellness.

We all know how hard it can be to make our marriage a priority when a new baby joins the family. A baby puts so much pressure on a relationship, and it's not uncommon for our marriage to take a backseat when we're dealing with the everyday demands of juggling parenthood and work and everything else you have going on in your life. And children also have a funny way of magnifying whatever weaknesses we already had in our relationship too, which can just add to the stress and conflict.

Today Esther Littlefield and I have an honest and personal conversation about how to work through those really difficult moments in your marriage as a new parent, and how you can re-prioritize your relationship if you feel like things are getting off track.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Esther shares some of the most difficult challenges she faced as a new working mom and how becoming a parent almost ended her marriage.
• Some of the biggest obstacles Esther and her husband faced to move through the hardest years of their marriage.
• Specific tools and strategies Esther relied on to begin to re-prioritize her marriage and build a solid foundation for their family.

The post "WPR020: 5 Strategies to Help Late Talkers at Home with Carrie Clark" appeared first on WorkingParentResource.com.

Episode Summary:

One of the things I hear most from working parents is that they feel a tremendous amount of guilt because they aren't around their kids all week. They feel like "bad parents" because they've been led to believe that simply being physically present with their kids is what makes someone a good parent. I think logically we know this isn't true, but it can absolutely FEEL true when you have very limited time with your kids.

So today's episode is all about building a strong, healthy and loving connection with your kids, even when you work all week. We're going to talk about simple and practical strategies you can implement to increase your connection with your kids, even when you can't always be physically present. I want you to leave this episode knowing how to make the most of the time you do have with your kids, not only so you can let go of those useless feelings of guilt, but also so you can enjoy a special and strong bond with your kids that will last over time.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Surprising (and fun!) ways you can build your connection with your child.
• How our kids experience separation, and how we can minimize the meltdowns, anxiety, and acting out that can occur during our morning and evening routines.
• Our kids' underlying developmental needs, and how we can meet those needs in even just a few minutes a day.

Episode Summary:

Today we have Aubrey Mathis with us, who is the owner and creator of Today May Suck, a comfort kit gift company providing unique gifts to loved ones who are going through the suckiest of times. Aubrey is changing the way we acknowledge grief with the perfect blend of compassion and comedic relief.

I wanted to preface this conversation today by saying that I know grief and loss isn't always a topic that we want to talk about. It seems like sort of a taboo subject in modern society, at least in my experience. But it truly is a part of life, and I have personally faced situations where dear loved ones and friends were going through a terrible loss or some sort of difficult situation, and it was hard for me to know how to support them or show them I was really feeling for them in an appropriate way. I've also been the one who was struggling with something difficult, and the support I received wasn't always that helpful. So I wanted to have our guest on today to help give us a better idea of how to handle those kinds of situations. As we discuss in this episode, I really think facing tragedy in our lives can be a transformative process, but that "messy middle" period can really be debilitating if we don't feel like we have the support we need or if we feel really alone. So I hope you find some useful tips and helpful insights in this episode if you're someone you know is going through an emotional time.

One last thing before we dive in: I have a background in counseling psychology and have practiced therapy in the past, but neither Aubrey nor I are currently licensed therapists. Any advice or resources we offer here today are just from our own experience, they aren't meant to be taken as professional or medical advice. We always encourage you to reach out to a therapist or a doctor if you're struggling with depression or any other serious mental health issue. Just wanted to include that little disclaimer before we get started.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Some of the surprising reasons why we feel grief and loss, and why it can be so uncomfortable (and taboo even) to address it when our loved ones are going through something heartbreaking.
• Learn new ways to truly support the people in our lives who are struggling emotionally.
• What holds us back from understanding, processing, and discussing difficult emotions in our own lives and with our loved ones.

Episode Summary:

Today we are chatting with Rebecca Gregerson, who runs Pieces, an art and décor business. She also has a brand new organizational app out called My Proxy Fox. She is always bursting with new ideas and loves finding creative ways to bring them to life. Outside of chasing her career dreams, her heart belongs to her super supportive and all around awesome husband, two spunky and fabulous littles (and two of the sweetest fur babies in town).

Rebecca has designed an app that I think can really be a game-changer for a lot of working parents. We talk a lot about it on the podcast so I won't go into too much detail here, but I've been trying this app out recently, and it has seriously cut down on so much preparation time and has allowed me to stop re-inventing the wheel for everything I do to manage my home. Right now the app is a free resource on iTunes, but that may change in the future so I encourage you to check it out.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• We talk about a new tool created by Rebecca, My Proxy Fox, which is an app that allows anyone who helps you in your life (babysitters, housekeepers, dog-sitters… even spouses, etc.) get access to all of the important information they need when you're unavailable so things can run smoothly.
• How you can save time and gain peace of mind by having your family systems, processes, and logistics thought through clearly ahead of time, written down, and available for other people at the touch of a button.
• How to get organized in your life so you don't have to re-invent the wheel every time you leave town, have to work late, or go out on a date night.

Episode Summary:

Robin Kegerise is a Career and Life Coach with nine years of Human Resources consulting experience. She has a Master's degree in Human Resources, and is a Change Management Specialist. In this episode, we dive into a topic that I think just about every working parent can appreciate: recovering from work burnout. I don't know about you guys, but I spent most of my adult life going through a pretty unhealthy cycle of working super-hard, burning out, and then recovering before I started the whole cycle all over again.

Today Robin and I talk about how we both went through some pretty intense experiences as new working moms, and how we were able to climb out of that black hole of burnout. Robin is so thoughtful and honest, and I think the advice and insights she shares in this episode will really hit home for a lot of you.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• We chat about how Robin created a new work environment for herself to manage the levels of stress and burnout she was experiencing.
• Learn common red flags that might indicate you're experiencing burnout yourself.
• The surprising moment when Robin was able to let go of a life of overwhelm and how she started moving toward a life of balance.

The post "WPR016: Reclaiming Your Energy: Recovering from Work Burnout with Robin Kegerise" appeared first on WorkingParentResource.com.

Episode Summary:

Today I'm talking to all of you over-achievers out there. You know who you are. You're not just ambitious, you take ambition to a whole new level. You're the one who can handle everything. You're the person everyone comes to when they have a problem or need something or aren't sure what to do. You're the problem solver. You GET THINGS DONE and you get a lot of confidence from that.

But as most of you know, there can be a downside to being an overachiever that many of us don't really talk about. It can be stressful. It can be draining. We can very easily push ourselves beyond our limits and we're highly susceptible to burnout as a result.

And after we have kids, being an overachiever can get tricky really fast. So today I'm going to be talking about how to manage your inner-overachiever so you can find some peace in your life. I don't necessarily think you need to abandon that inner-drive you have. But I do think there's a way to manage it so it doesn't drive you to unhealthy levels of stress and burnout. And that's what we'll talk about today.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• The main distinctions between a "High Achiever" and an "Overachiever" and how I have learned to identify the difference in my everyday life.
• What I got out of being an overachiever. What motivated me to continue working beyond my limits, and the reasons why it took me so long to realize how much stress and anxiety my high standards were creating in my life.
• How I finally let go of being an "Overachiever" and was able to harness my inner-drive in a healthier way while increasing my energy and results.
• How you can build check-points into your life so you can avoid falling into your natural tendency to push yourself too far.

These insights and tips are specifically designed for the busy working parent, keeping in mind all of the other demands on your time, so hopefully you'll get some value out of today's interview.
