Redefining Balance for Working Mom Podcast by Your Life Rocks

This is our last episode in our Walking with Jesus series!  Leading up to Christmas we have been hearing the testimonies of other working moms and their stories have been so inspiring! This week we hear from Ame Clemente as she shares how her faith became real through her journey into motherhood.  Through prayer and faith, God performed miracles against all odds.  This is a story about God's power, and that even in darkness, if it's not good it's not done.  The light wins and the victory is ours!

This week we hear from Emily Will as she shares her testimony of how God answered her prayers in his own timing and in his own way.  Have you ever thought that God wasn't going to answer your prayer?  Emily saw God's faithfulness after 5 years!  By trusting God and waiting on his timing, the answered prayer was so much better because of the lessons learned and the blessings that came along with it.

Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus.  Each week leading up to Christmas we will hear a testimony of what Jesus is doing in the life of a fellowing working mom.  It’s my hope that through hearing these powerful stories, we will keep our focus on what we are really celebrating at Christmas.  This week I am joined by Marissa Poje as she shares her walk with Jesus and reminds us that we are never alone, the importance of community, and how Jesus is the ultimate healer.

Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus!  Each week until Christmas we will hear from another working mom about what Jesus has done during the journey of her life.  This week I am joined by Esther Littlefield as she shares her journey in questioning everything and deciding to choose to believe that God is good even when she doesn't understand his ways.  This is a journey about loss, love, and understanding that can only come from the Holy Spirit.

Welcome to our special holiday series!  Each week until Christmas we will hear from another working mom about what Jesus has done during the journey of her life.  This week I am joined by Jenna Allerson as she shares her experience with her first son being born, and the mental battles that came after.  This is story of triumph and the glory goes to our Lord!  

Christmas time is here!  Well, just about.  This is a wonderful time of year, but as a working mom, it can also get pretty chaotic...but it doesn't have to be that way!  In this episode, I am walking you through the free course Holiday Sanity.  You can get it inside the Your Life Rocks app or on your computer by going to Holidaysanity.com.  We are talking about how to plan your Christmas season to keep things realistic, but still totally awesome!

Hey there!  This is a special episode because it is a dual cast for Redefining Balance for Working Moms podcast and the Mom Inspired Podcast!  Join Amber Sandberg and I as we sit down and chat about the reality of being a mom and coping with the added stress and pressure of the holiday season.  We each share our ideas, thoughts, and tips to give you grace (and maybe a couple of shortcuts) to make this season awesome but simple. 

Ok, it's been a few months till school started and the year will be ending in a couple of months.  What a perfect time to check in with yourself and do a little self-coaching.  Specifically, I am going to walk you through a little assessment that you can do with your career and parenting areas of life, but really, you can use this same process with any area of your life.

Here's the thing, balance is not a place to arrive to.  It’s not an accomplishment. It is a verb.  It’s an action that we choose to take each day in our lives to be the best version of ourselves in all that God has called us to be. This week we are talking about how to get back on track when we have fallen off track.

Today’s podcast is a bit personal for me, but I wanted to share this with all of you because what I am going through right now, I know so many of you might be as well or at least will be dealing with because I hear from you all the time when you do feel this way.  I see it in other facebook groups and hear it from my friends as well. And this isn’t my first time dealing with it. I’m talking about burnout, exhaustion, and working with an empty bucket and feeling out of balance.

Yep, here we are.  Getting ready to close out 2019.  Well, not really.  Actually we still have the last quarter of the year in front of us.  How do we make the most of it so that when we are ringing in the new year we are rejoicing over the last one?  Glad you asked because that is what we are covering in this episode.  I'll be walking you through the goal-setting process so that you can finish the year strong!
