The Empowered Mama with Lisa Druxman

Everyone loves a neat home, right? But very few are actually taught how to have a clean and tidy space. It isn't enough to say that you shouldn't be messy, because life is always going to be messy. But, is there a secret to staying organized? Today we'll learn how to de-clutter, and better organize so you can create a space that you love!

Many moms are overwhelmed. We're rushing, running late and completely stressed out. The good news is moms weren't meant to conquer motherhood alone. We all need a village. So, why do you need one and how do you find one that's right for you?

Growth doesn't always happen overnight. It can take time, especially if you have large goals. So many of us try to do too much, too fast. Why do we expect ourselves to eliminate whole food groups or completely change our exercise routine and have success? Success comes not from a quantum leap, but instead from baby steps made every day. Today, we'll explore how Kaizen philosophy can help you move more effectively towards your goals.

Let's get inspired by a fellow mom! Leah Segedie is an entreprenuer, food activist and "Mom of the Year" according to Shape Magazine! Leah shares her personal story overcoming obesity and how she has helped thousands of moms achieve health and fitness.

We say the words "yes" and "no" on a daily basis. But, have you ever stopped to realize the huge impact they can potentially have on your life? They might be the most important words in your vocabulary, as the can create new realities. Say "no" to keep out what you don’t want and to keep focused on what you do want. Say "yes" to living your life on purpose!

How do you get inspiration for your life? Living an inspired life may not be inherently in you. Perhaps you need to be more proactive about it? So, what's the secret?  

Let's talk about meditation. Now, don’t just shut this off because you are sure you don’t want to meditate. Maybe your way of meditation looks different than others. You probably like massages, right? What if we told you that meditation can help you bring on that feeling, without a massage? In this episode, we'll go a little deeper on the benefits of meditating and how you can make it work for you.  

Moms all over the world are getting ready to make their New Year's resolutions, which is great. But, are these resolutions really working for you? Most of us try to do too much, too hard and too fast to succeed. We set goals that maybe don't really mean that much to us and we rarely set out a plan to accomplish them. Intentions are not enough. You need to have a plan. So, let's create one!

Need to make a change in the foods you eat? You may have heard about the importance of easting clean, but what exactly does that mean? Today we're talking with Mareya Ibrahim about gluten, sugar, going vegan and more!

Planning is so important. And the end of the year is a great time to plan for the next year! Life is important, so don't let it just happen to you! What do you want your life to look like in the coming year? Why haven't your previous goals worked out for you? Remember, a goal without a plan is just a wish!

Let's face it, you can't work off a bad diet. And most moms seems to be on a constant ride on and off the "diet" roller coaster. How good would it feel to never diet again? What if you ate to fuel your body and not to feel deprived? Yes, it's possible.

Where does the time go? As parents, we have so many responsibilities. It's easy to get to the end of the day and wonder what happened to all your time that day. So, let's figure out how we can make the most of it (without involving a time machine).
