This week on the latest episode of The Abundant Mama Show, I’m talking about how acceptance and forgiveness are a part of our path as Abundant Mamas. Learning to Accept the Chaos of Motherhood This idea that we can accept our lives — embrace our lives as it is — is what every lesson, prompt and activity I offer in my coaching allows you to sink into.

During this episode, I talk about this concept of rocking joy through the lens of the book “The Book of Joy,” by his Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Author Douglas Abrams The overwhelming reaction to this book from the moms in our community was this: We create our own joy.

I want you to REVOLT against the norms of motherhood and start realizing that self-care isn't a dirty word and self-discovery isn't a guilty pleasure. It's the way home to feeling more peaceful, more playful and more energized for this life each day.

Joy is always a BIG topic for us inside The Abundant Mama Project because isn't that what we all want in life -- to feel joy? Joy in the mundane? Joy in the boredom? Joy in the chaos? Joy in marriage or parenting or that time of the month. :) Ultimately, our conversations -- and the daily practices we do as Abundant Mamas -- lead us back to this: Joy is an inside job. Period. We have to work for it. We have to do the work on ourselves before we can truly FEEL it. Listen to this conversation around joy vs. happiness on this week's Abundant Mama Show podcast.
