153 | What’s actually keeping you from a life you love?

153 | What’s actually keeping you from a life you love?

We don’t lose ourselves in motherhood, we lose ourselves in survival mode. We lose ourselves in the day to day rush. We lose ourselves in placing our value in the things we do, instead of the people we are. 

We get caught in this trap of survival mode in early motherhood, and when we don’t intentionally rebuild our lives again, we tend to get stuck in a cycle of survival. This is where we lose ourselves. 

Living a life you’re in love with means ditching the belief that you belong in survival mode. This is your sign to spread your wings and learn to fly. This is your time to rise above the crap, and remember that you are meant to bloom. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

⭐establishing your core desires and purpose 

⭐the bare minimum habit 

⭐gaining an attitude of gratitude 

⭐overcoming the fear of change and success

152 | Self love is the foundation of good mental health & a happy motherhood

152 | Self love is the foundation of good mental health & a happy motherhood

Like it or not, you’re going to have to learn to love yourself if you want any of the personal growth, mental health, or happy hacks to stick. If you’re not loving yourself, you’re not really believing you’re worthy of anything better than you’ve already got. 

It may be a controversial idea, but you cannot fully love others if you don’t first love yourself. If you’re not loving yourself, you’re not willing to accept the love others attempt to give you, and that means you’re not fully loving them to your greatest extent. 

Self love is not selfish. Self care is not selfish. They are the basic human needs you keep trying to skip over. Letting your soul run dry for the sake of putting others first is slowly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. In that version of the story, no one wins. I prefer the story where true love saves the day. That’s your story. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

⭐it’s all in vain if it’s not in love 

⭐what real self love looks and acts like 

⭐why love should be your top goal this year

151 | Becoming confident in your identity (letting go of who you thought you were)

151 | Becoming confident in your identity (letting go of who you thought you were)

You’re sitting here doubting your worth again. It’s become your comfort zone. You might be believing there’s no other way to live anymore. It can feel terrifying to step out of this comfort zone, it’s new, it’s unknown, and that’s scary. 

Letting go of who you think you are is a process. It’s a give and take. It’s a back and forth. It’s a path with peaks and valleys. 

It’s a leap of faith, stepping from your comfort zone of self doubt into the uncertainty of questioning your identity. 

If you really knew who you are, you wouldn’t doubt yourself for a second, you wouldn’t doubt anything at all. Unfortunately, we are often quick to forget after making the discovery of who we are. It’s a process, and this is just the beginning. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

⭐deconstructing what you know about yourself

⭐tearing down the walls that block joy and love 

⭐realizing who you are at the core of yourself

147 | How doing the bare minimum can help you get more done

Do you often feel like you’re running in circles, not getting anywhere? Constantly putting in energy and effort with nothing to show for it? This one’s for you! 

Today I’m sharing the tips that have been most potent in helping me to overcome the overwhelm and take pride in a day well spent.

Motherhood has its ups and downs - life has its ups and downs - and it’s important to be able to maintain the home that supports you while you’re down without the need to exert energy and time you just don’t have. Here’s how doing less has created a life of ‘more’ for me and my family.

In this episode we’re chatting about

✔️ the cure is IN the disease/problem  

✔️ what happens when you’re overworked vs empowered 

✔️ how to make room to do less

146 | Setting soul goals - becoming who you’re really meant to be.

Here’s the thing, it’s not really the new year. Today is simply the day we reset our calendars and dive into a new planner. But in nature, this is Winter. Winter is a time of rest and renewal - the time for new beginnings doesn’t happen until March. 

By all means, make a resolution for the year, set goals in that fresh new planner and put important dates on your calendar. But DO NOT get your panties in a bunch and get down on yourself for not suddenly waking up a new person today. This is literally the worst time of the natural year to try to become something you aren’t. 

Here’s what I’m doing differently. I’m choosing an intention - something to aim for in the coming months, but I’m not holding myself to any unrealistic standards. I’m not going to feel bad if I fall short on my goals to get me there. I’m not going to let guilt make me quit on who I’m meant to be. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

✔️Why your goals never seem to happen for you - spoiler: it’s because it’s not really what YOU want 

✔️How to choose goals that align with your intentions and purpose

145 | Do you feel empowered being a stay at home mom? Or does it feel like it’s all falling apart?

145 | Do you feel empowered being a stay at home mom? Or does it feel like it’s all falling apart?

I was thinking today about the difference between a stay at home mom and a homemaker. SAHM feels confining and like a death sentence. It feels like pausing your life to raise kids, instead of building a new, full life around raising kids. Some of us lose our identity when we become moms, but for some that’s where we find our identity. So what’s the right mindset to adopt? 

In this episode we’re chatting about

✔️setting our own standards

✔️what it means to be a ‘mother’ 

✔️taking control of your own life

144 | Don’t let comparison steal your joy this year - it’s a sneaky grinch.

It’s far too easy these days to play the comparison game. We fall victim to the race of keeping up with the Joneses without even realizing it anymore.

This year I’m dedicated to keeping Christmas as simple as possible and I’m taking a lot of inspiration from The Grinch. It’s not about a viral $600 tree, it’s not about having the most lights, or the best dinner party, or checking every box, or moving that dang elf every single day.

Christmas magic is already here, it’s in your heart, it’s the joy waiting to be found. You deserve to enjoy your holidays. You are the magic.  

In this episode we’re chatting about

✔️The danger of comparison in your life 

✔️Where Chrstmas magic really comes from 

✔️What your kids really need for Christmas

It’s that cozy, wonderful time of year! I am in love with Christmas and everything the season means - peace, joy and love to all! I’m not so in love with everything society and commercialism tells us we need to do, buy, be, and make in order to have a happy holiday. I’m a firm believer that the holiday season can be simple and enjoyable. I’m here to spill the beans on how Christmas happens in our family (FYI, this involves speaking about long kept secrets you may not want your kids hearing from me - headphones highly recommended around children!

142 | Moms get to have a sick day, too.

I’m tired of hearing that moms don’t get a break, a day off, and especially that we don’t get to be sick… Whether we’re talking about getting hit with the cold-bug, navigating life with a chronic illness, or battling for your sanity against a mental illness; you mama, get to have a sick day.


You’re allowed to be sick. You’re allowed to take it easy. You’re allowed to do nothing when you need that time to rest. Let’s talk about how to make that down time easier on you - because recovery doesn’t need to feel like an uphill battle. 


In this episode we’re chatting about

✔️What you’re entitled to as a human being

I know this season can be so full of chatter about gratitude, and peace, and joy, and I also know it can be full of feelings of stress, and overwhelm, and guilt. Time can feel so limited, but it’s important to take a few minutes to let your walls down and let yourself feel those good feelings. The world isn’t held together by your anxiety, it’s safe to stop worrying for a minute. It’s okay to feel happy, it’s okay to know that your life is beautiful and wonderful and whole. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of joy.

139 | How I quit being lazy and got out of my funk, again

139 | How I quit being lazy and got out of my funk, again

I’ve been called lazy many times in my life, mostly by my mom (parents just don’t understand). I tried to fight it for so long, and when I finally gave in, things started to fall into place. Let me explain this, I had it all wrong. I wore that false label while holding in my heart the truth and it caused a rift in how I viewed myself. I never felt lazy, but because I was experiencing depression, fatigue and burnout, I always felt like it was impossible to get anything done. 


I know we’ve talked about how we place an unrealistic expectation on ourselves and end up hurt that we can’t accomplish an impractical and inhuman amount of work in a day while juggling the home, the husband, the kids, and your own sanity… But today I want to take the time to discuss laziness, or our self-perceived laziness to be more specific.

138 | Knowing your self worth with Emily Louis of the Abundant Grace Podcast [REPOST]

There’s just too many different ways a woman today can be plagued by unworthiness.

I know especially as women, we are surrounded by a lot of comparisons.  In social media, advertisements, magazines, tv… And they just show you pictures of what other places look like, other homes look like, other people look and that comparison starts you thinking “I'm not that good.”

And then there’s this productivity based worthiness. There’s this unworthiness that comes from feeling like we can’t achieve it all, we can’t complete our daily to-do lists, we can’t keep everyone happy, we can’t live up to all the heavy expectations that have been placed on us whether by ourselves, our environments, our families, or our religion.

How do we begin this journey to breaking free from those chains of unworthiness? Today I have Emily Louis of Abundant Grace Podcast here to talk us through this one.

137 | How to host a simple holiday party without sacrificing your sanity

137 | How to host a simple holiday party without sacrificing your sanity

I used to have this bad habit of over planning, over spending, and over extending myself for every single family gathering. I'd spend days obsessing over the menu, the guest list, the gifts, and worst of all - cleaning every hidden area of my home that no one visiting had any business even seeing. I'm telling you this because I get a sense that maybe you're getting a little stressed out and worked up over the upcoming holidays and I have a lot to say about that in today's episode on Meant to Bloom.

I knew something had to change about the way I was handling the hosting season when I found myself crying in my bedroom during a party, yet again, while a successful event was happening outside my door. I'd done everything I needed to do, I'd planned right, the guest had shown up, the house was clean and decorated, but I couldn't hold it together long enough to finish cooking dinner all by myself. I left my husband in charge of the kitchen and took a much needed break, but I knew this was sustainable. I'd thrown a great family party but I knew I never wanted to feel that way again.

I learned more about myself - I'm an introvert - which I've known for a very long time, but I didn't know exactly what that meant. I thought for too long it meant I didn't like people, or preferred to be alone. I learned too late in my life that it simply meant I needed to take time alone to recharge so that I could fully enjoy the company of others. I long for those missed opportunities in my younger years. There's a great importance to understanding yourself and accepting who you are with grace and compassion.

I read a book that really inspired me to scale back what I was doing, rethink why I was doing it, and focus in on fewer tasks so I could actually do a good job and put the love I intended into it. In this book I learned to stop obsessing over covering every inch of my home in decor that went unappreciated and never gave it the classy, cozy feel I was going for. I learned to focus on home cooking fewer items and delegating the rest to other guests, my husband, or simply buying premade from the grocery deli. I learned how to make my home cozy and guest ready so I didn't have to drive myself insane the week of an event. I want to share everything I learned to hosting a simple holiday party without sacrificing your sanity here in today's episode.


In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸What I learned from Welcome Home by Myquilin Smith (aka The Nester) 

🌸The mindset I’m taking into the holiday dinners I’m hosting 

🌸My favorite holiday side that no one else is bringing to the party

135 | A conversation on mom-guilt & easy living with Natasha Mila of the Stay Curious Blog [REPOST]

As you may know, I’m currently in a season of letting peripheral things go or be as easy as possible in order to very peacefully prioritize my life. My focus right now is on family and I’m trying to let my actions reflect that, and be very intentional with how my time is spent. 


There’s two absolute truths: 

1. Easy isn’t always simple. & 2. Guilt is garbage. 

This last year I put a heavy focus on letting things be “easy.” I had no idea at the time that I would have to overcome so many mental roadblocks before that could really happen. 

Easy isn’t always easy - especially when it comes with guilt that you’re not “doing enough.” 

I was so blessed to have this very authentic and truth filled conversation with my new friend Natasha.

134 | The ONE phrase that will end your overwhelm and curb your anxiety

As a perpetually overwhelmed mom of 3 crazy kiddos, I have learned a thing or two about self soothing. I have dove down that rabbit hole of self help, personal growth, manifesting your dreams, productivity and goal setting and prioritizing your soul aligned life, so you don’t have to. Here’s the ONE thing I’ve found that helps me get through the most overwhelming and stressful moments in my day as a busy homemaking, homeschooling, homesteading, entrepreneur mama. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸Take time to realize how far you’ve already come 

🌸Visualization and when it isn’t helpful

132 | Still peeing your pants when you sneeze? Excellent pelvic floor advice with Pauli Hannan of Beyond the V [REPOST]

Hey mama, let’s unnormalize peeing your pants a little when you sneeze. If you’re out of the loop like me, you just found out that incontinence of any kind (even a little bit) isn’t okay and Kegels are NOT the answer. So, what the heck are we supposed to do then? 

Today I am joined by Pauli Hannan from Beyond the V, she’s a mom who understands that you don’t have a ton of time or energy to start some strict, confining regimine to fix this issue, she also knows what she’s talking about since she’s been a pelvic floor physical therapist for 12 years! 

Pauli is sharing with us the deets on knowing if you need to work on your pelvic floor (if you’ve ever birthed a child, this is probably for you), and simple solutions that work. Let’s heal this together and unnormalize maternal incontinence!

131 | The gratitude practice that really works to rewire your reactions

How cool is it that we get to choose gratitude? Welcome to November, I know how touchy and annoying the subject of gratitude can be if it doesn’t come naturally to you. Maybe you’re thinking to yourself: I made the stupid list, I tried to do it every morning, but I just don’t feel any different. I’m here to say we can change that. Gratitude is meant for you, and you are meant for it, it’s just a new feeling that you haven’t learned how to fully feel yet, or use like a super power. 


In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸We get to choose gratitude 

🌸How to journal your gratitude 

🌸Using gratitude to respond the way you want to, not the way you have been

129 | Breaking the addiction to stress & choosing to live mindfully

In a world so focused on going, doing, buying, building, earning, spending, growing… it can become very difficult to just be happy where you are right now, with what you have right now. There’s always more, more, more and complacency is often frowned upon. Even in the spiritual, self help, and personal growth industry - stopping the growth to just be comfortable existing can feel like you’re wasting time or even failing all together. 

It's okay to grow slow, it’s okay to take a break, it’s even okay to decide you’re good enough right now and don’t need to continue to improve at all. That’s the beauty in it all; your life is up to you. You get to decide your own limits. You get to decide when to let go of the stress and hustle and just be okay where you are now. You are already enough. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸How to be mindful as a mother (JOURNAL/GRATITUDE, GROUNDING, INTENTIONAL QUALITY TIME) 

🌸Stress is addictive, but it is a choice 

🌸Choosing peace over pressure

128 | Supporting your mental health with an anti-depression diet; food is medicine

128 | Supporting your mental health with an anti-depression diet; food is medicine

Food is medicine, be wise with how you use it. First off - let’s not subscribe to the theory that we shouldn’t reward ourselves with food. Food is vital. Food is life. 

Many cultures have used food to celebrate for centuries - it’s the center of every family gathering, holiday, party… Don’t discount the power of good food. 

Where it gets dangerous is when we withhold food and save it as a reward - always celebrate. Celebrate the failures, the losses, the endings - celebrate how far you’ve come, celebrate what you’ve learned, celebrate anyway. Never without food from yourself because you feel unworthy of it - it’s the medicine that holds what you need to heal, to grow, to keep on growing. 

For the most part, I've found keeping a strict diet to be counter productive in your mental health healing. Adding a new challenge to your life, something to potentially feel bad about when you miss the mark, it’s not helpful for someone who’s already struggling with self worth and motivation to do your daily life. 

Let’s keep it simple. 

In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸Intuitive eating vs diet culture 

🌸Foods you can eat today to start healing 

🌸A sample meal plan for your mental health

Irritability, short sightedness, anxiety… these are the symptoms of depression that are currently making motherhood feel a lot harder than it is.

124 | Healing your gut health, mental health and chronic illness with functional health coach, Michelle Rose of Redefine Your Wellness

Michelle Rose is an exercise physiologist turned functional health coach- living the natural minded, healing lifestyle.

She spent 15 years suffering from health struggles and an autoimmune disorder. Desperate for a positive change, she landed on gut health & knew she had found something.

The more she applied her new found knowledge of gut health and natural healing, the better she felt.

Now she has spent 7+ years learning & experiencing natural healing. She has helped support thousands of people along the way. She focuses on simple, effective solutions. Learning how to properly supplement, fuel the body, and create movement with excitement are a few of the areas she supports on. It’s all about implementing small lifestyle changes over time to equal massive results.

123 | The #1 thing you can do today to become a happier person, even through depression, burnout, and chaos in motherhood

123 | The #1 thing you can do today to become a happier person, even through depression, burnout, and chaos in motherhood

In all my years living with depression, it was the way I allowed myself to think about myself, my circumstances and my life that caused me the most damage. It was all the negative thinking, all the self-criticism, all the hatred that infested me like an infection and led me down the darkest of paths when a depression episode, burn out, or a minor inconvenience came along.  “Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.” - Proverbs 4:23 The best thing I ever did for myself and my family was to change the way I allowed myself to think. I instilled a zero tolerance policy for self-bullying and that inevitably led to a higher capacity for happiness. This is the first step to becoming a happy mom. 

Think about the way you think. Change your mind, change your life. 

“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” - Lao Tzu


In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸Rock bottom and the catalyst to my big life change 

🌸How to overcome the nasty voice of criticism 

🌸Why your word choice matters

118 | More books that healed my broken, hot-mess, mom-life [PART2]

Welcome to Meant to Bloom Podcast where we talk real life motherhood struggles and simple steps to a brighter, more abundant perspective - you can be a happy mom and I’m here to walk with you on this journey to the life you’re meant to be living full of peace, joy and love - I’m your host, Brittni Clarkson and we are meant to bloom. 

Today's books recommendations are specially selected for the woman who feels a lack of self worth, self control, and need for self preservation due to the condition of her home. You are the mess, your home means nothing about you. Mess is morally neutral - and you are wildly capable. With these 3 book recommendations you'll learn to be a leader in your life and in your home. You'll shift your mindset and find your self worth and peace of mind. You'll learn from principles that have been around for over 30=-+ years, a neurodivergent therapist and my own personal mentor and friend who taught me the importance of less and letting go.


In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸 The power of a new mindset and strong habits

🌸 The need to give yourself grace to be yourself in the process 

🌸 The importance of mentorship and community

111 | Simple tips for prioritizing your health journey when you’re already overwhelmed by life with Kelsey Bryant of FIT Christian Woman [REPOST]

As busy mamas we too often put "getting healthy" on the back burner. We plan to start a fitness program after the kids get back to school, we plan to start eating better after today, we plan to get up earlier on Monday. Start today. Start now. Kelsey is here today to give us insights and tips from her professional experience as well as her own motherhood journey to help you make healthy living an easy option - not a someday goal, not something else to put on your to-do list, but a simple lifestyle upgrade.

***********************************

Kelsey Bryant is a clinical exercise physiologist, committed to helping Christian women dominate their health. She teaches women how to build a healthy lifestyle using biblical principles supported by science. She believes we are made in God's image and God is a triune God consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Her alignment principle highlights how we too are three parts in one but we consist of body, soul, and spirit.

Kelsey's alignment principle teaches how to bring your body, soul, and spirit into true alignment under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Kelsey's podcast the FIT Christian Woman podcast has been voted one of the top 20 Christian weight loss podcasts in 2023.

109 | You get to decide what success looks like for you; happily ever after happens now!

109 | You get to decide what success looks like for you; happily ever after happens now!

Between mommy-martyrdom and busy schedules it can feel like we’re slaves to our own families. But in reality, the keys to the castle are in your hands. You hold the magic wand that turns that pumpkin into a carriage. That dream you keep dreaming, that life you wish you were living, the joy you crave - you’ve already got what it takes to get you there. But like Cinderella, you may hold the dream of going to the ball, but you’re looking at a pumpkin not realizing it’s your vehicle to the life you’re dreaming of. Set yourself free. Unsubscribe from the victim mentality. You’ve got what it takes and you are so so worthy of every dream you’re dreaming. In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸Taking an honest look at your life right now 

🌸Living your Cinderella Story (FYI, it was never about the prince)

108 | Good moms can totally suck at homemaking.

108 | Good moms can totally suck at homemaking.

How’s that secret competition with the aesthetic mom on Instagram who doesn’t know you exist going? I have yet to encounter a mom who is fully herself, fully empowered, fully happy with her life who is running the race to keep her home perfectly kept, dust free, smelling nice, decorated like it’s straight out of HGTV, attending every kid’s event, leading the PTA, and intimately fulfilled in her marriage. What are you working so hard for? Are you curating the life you really want to be living? It’s not like you can get the house perfect and then stop - it’s ongoing, there is no end game here.

107 | Easing anxiety under the threat of real danger and possible tragedy

Sometimes anxiety makes sense as our reaction to an event. It makes sense, but it doesn't help. Here's what you need to know about my 3 point method to remove anxiety when it's not totally irrational to feel that way.

106 | The books that helped me heal my broken, hot-mess mom-life [PART 1]

106 | The books that helped me heal my broken, hot-mess mom-life [PART 1]

Over the years there have been a number of books that have inspired, awakened and moldedme into the woman I am today. This is part of the books that helped me heal my broken, hot-mess mom-life. Today I’m discussing the books that stirred my soul and opened my heart to love, compassion, grace, and kindness. 


In this episode we’re chatting about

🌸The Kindness Method 

Helped me to see my unhelpful habits as addictions and overcome them with compassion and self love. When I tell you that love and grace are the root of healing and growth - this book is probably what planted the seed of that belief. 

🌸Rhythms of Renewal 

This one taught me how foundational rest is to a productive life. Stress is the new cigarette and Rebekah Lyons is helping us to quit that addiction with grace and rest.

🌸Everybody Always 

Bob Goff! Need I say more. This book challenged my soul and shook my personality. I didn’t realize I was a hateful a-hole until I read this book and saw what love your neighbor really looks like.
