The Mother Like a Boss Podcast

Around every corner in motherhood, there seems to be another thing to be afraid of. But what would our lives look like if we stopped making our everyday decisions out of fear? Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being judged? We don't have to throw caution to the wind and live recklessly in order to enjoy a life where our decisions are based more on love than on fear.

Getting and staying organized isn't about how many storage containers or bins you have in your home. The last thing we need is more stuff to hold our stuff. Instead, I want to help you think of organization as nothing more than a system, something that can be replicated over and over again to give you ease in your life. So, how do YOU feel about getting organized?

"Take a chill pill" has quickly become my motherhood mantra. With all the distractions and decisions and fears associated with being a parent, it's easy to become frantic. Let's all take a collective breath of fresh air and make today the day that we chill out.

In a world full of devices, screens, social media and all things internet based, screen time is a hot topic. It's a common question I get, "How should I handle screen time in my home?" The truth is, I don't have all the answers. All I know is what works for us, and what works for us is setting clear boundaries and making our values clear. This episode is all about how my husband and I handle screen time in our home and what has worked for us.

I can't even describe the ways my life changed positively when I started letting go of the need to control everything in my life and started practicing the fine art of surrender. Surrendering isn't about giving up, it's about accepting what is so you can take more inspired action.

Let's all just face it: we are living with far too much stuff. Too many things, too many options, too many obligations. My guest today is on a mission to provide more for moms by showing them how to live with less. Allie Casazza, host of The Purpose Show podcast, founder of the globally-praised course Your Uncluttered home, and one of my best friends in the whole word is bringing a lot of truth and wisdom in this episode.

They say that patience is a virtue, but did "they" ever have kids? As a self-proclaimed impatient girl since childhood, I've seen the danger in living from a place of "Next, please. Hurry up!" Impatience strips us of the present moment. In this episode, I want to encourage you to take a breath and move through life with more ease and less expectation. We'd be amazed what we can enjoy and experience without the wait of expediency looming over our shoulders.

And just like that, we're at 100 episodes! Can you stand it?! Today, we're flipping the scripts and creating some fun for this special occasion. My good friend Erika Tebbens is here interviewing me and asking some of the most popularly asked questions. This is like listening in to two friends have coffee, which is what I wish I could do with every single one of you.

Today's episode is dedicated to starting the year off right, without lofty resolutions that won't be met. Instead, I want to talk about purpose and how you can achieve everything you want in your home, your life and your relationships in this brand new year.

Go shawty, it's my birthday. I'm the big 3-5 today and I couldn't be more excited. To me, getting older is a privilege not afforded to so many. I'm wiser. I'm happier. I'm richer in all areas of my life. Join me for a fun episode where I'm sharing 35 random things about me to celebrate 35 trips around the sun.

How is it possible that we're at the end of 2018 already? Didn't we just start? With the end of the year coming up fast, resolutions are all the rave. Everyone has one (or ten) to set, but inevitably, most will be completely abandoned by February 1. I've fallen victim to it myself, which is why I quit the resolution game many years ago.

Where are all my tired parents at? I know, you're probably too exhausted to even lift your hand. Sleep issues with our little ones have a profound effect on so many areas of our life as I can tell you from experience. I'm overjoyed to bring you a conversation about such a thing today with Abigail Cannon.

The best routines are about doing what works, not creating more to do. They should fit into your life, not the other way around. Let's uncomplicate the routines we have and the routines we are creating to live a more purposeful life.

It's funny to think that I've been self-employed for as long as I have been a mom and homemaker, but I've raised both my business and kiddos together. Doing either of those two things can be stressful and time consuming enough, but doing them both at the same time take a bit of strategy (and a whole lot of letting go) Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes into how I run my home as a self-employed mama with a self-employed husband as well.

Back by popular demand is the father like a boss himself, my husband Adam. Creating and leading my mission has been a joy for me, but it isn't always easy. With kids and a home to keep up with, having someone by my side that supports me, loves me and encourages me while also taking on half of the responsibility like a good partner should has been more important than anything. Join us for a fun, sometimes serious, sometimes silly chat about what it's like from the dad's point of view.
