Redefining Balance for Working Mom Podcast by Your Life Rocks

I am so glad you are here because today we are talking all about creating an awesome summer for our kids.  Let me ask you a question, answer it honestly. How do you feel when you are reminded that there are only 18 summers with your kids?    Bring on the high expectations!  Man! Talk about pressure! But really, it’s pressure and high expectations that we bring to ourselves.  In this episode, I hope you find grace and encouragement and get a game plan to make it a pretty awesome summer.

We have all been there.  The constant mess and chaos of our houses can leave us with overwhelm and guilt and can make us wonder if we have what it takes to make our house our home.  But there is good news!  The state of your house does not define you!  I know, easier said than done.  In this episode, we hear how to make that so with Jenny Welsh.  She shares 3 steps of her Chaotic to Clean Method that will help you bring God back into the state of your home and feel like you have it conquered.

How much is too much screen time for your kids?  As a working mom, nothing brings on mom guilt like trying to navigate these waters.  Join us in this discussion with Child Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Maylin Griffiths.  Get answers to your questions and create a plan for your kids and their electronics this summer.

Ready to make the most of your workday?  I mean, if you are going to be there all day and give your attention and focus to it you should make it as effective as possible in reaching your goals, right? In this episode, I am giving you a sneak peek from our recent training from inside Life Balance Membership.  In the membership training, we went in deep for your career SOPs on the annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily basis. For this episode, I'm giving you all the details on daily planning. 

What if you had a place that you could go, like in your own house?  If you are looking for more rest in your life, this just might be a project to tackle.  The great thing is, you can make this process easy or complex.  Today, we are joined by Monique Horb, a professional organizer at Organizing Your Chaos.  She is going to take us through step by step just like she was right there with you cleaning your space.  This is our last part of our Spring Cleaning series, I hope you enjoy!

Parenting can be hard to navigate especially when we think of all the things that we need to teach our kids in order to raise healthy adults.  Combine that with the big job of balancing everything else and things just get complicated.  To help simplify this (and inspire us), we are joined by Dr. Maylin Griffiths who is a wife, mother, and clinical child psychologist.  In this episode, we are talking about how to teach our kids how to make healthy relationships/friendships.  

We talk a lot about weekly prep here on the show because it is one of the main systems we teach to help you create balance in your life as a working mom.  In fact, if you have not yet grabbed our free course, Weekly Success Planning, you can get it here: WeeklySuccessPlanning.com But let's face it, a large part of what we do outside of work is for our kids.  So this episode was a long time coming.  In fact, the idea for this show came from our awesome community of other working Christian moms. 

Spring is here!  With the change of seasons, I can't help but want to clean and organize my house.  To help us in this process, we are joined by professional organizer Monique Horb.  In this episode, she walks us through the step by step process of organizing our kitchen.  The kitchen is the heart of the home and you will reap the benefits of doing this as you do your weekly prep. Get all the steps she takes us through over on our website.  Click here.
