EPISODE 41: How Motherhood disrupts your greatest superpower

That's right mamas! Your greatest power is your intuition, but the irony is that becoming a mama totally blocks you from this.  Why? Well think about how much you default to "experts" or others for advice on child rearing, best practices, doctors...the list goes on.  We find ourselves tuning out of our own guidance because let's face it..no one or nothing can prepare you for the massive shifts in your mental, emotional and physical well-being.  I share a few tips to reactivate this gift to better support you.

EPISODE 33: Reframing Anxiety (Part 2)

EPISODE 33: Reframing Anxiety (Part 2)

We continue the conversation surrounding an often "swept under the rug" daily feeling that naturally comes with parenting and that is anxiety and worry. This seems like a common default setting because we anticipate our kids needs and prepare for all the "what ifs" that come with the unpredictability of raising little humans. Part 1 of this series goes into this further so please do go back and listen if you missed this. Today in Part 2, we cover 3 powerful ways you can use in real time to help you regain your center, stay present and lessen the anxious energy around parenting.

EPISODE 32: Reframing Anxiety (Part 1)

EPISODE 32: Reframing Anxiety (Part 1)

Seems like feeling anxious, uneasy or just plan anxiety is often your default setting when you become a mama...but here's the kicker - this is can actually be a good thing because in this series you are going learn how to use this to your advantage.  Now if you are like most mamas, myself included, being a mama meant that motherhood naturally leads to worry and always being prepared for every worst case scenario.  Most mamas can end up spending their daily lives in the future even if that means just minutes or hours within your day.  Anticipating your kiddos' needs is natural role in parenting but doing so keeps us away from staying present (high vibe) and stuck in "future mode" which naturally results in anxiety.  This 2 part series will help you achieve more balance, peace of mind and less overwhelm in our parenting because getting out of anxiety gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to do mama life in a more empowered and inspired way.

Use this opportunity to get to know yourself at a deeper level and watch your kids become your mirror of all that is possible on the other side of fear, discomfort and the unknown.
