momplex with Scottie Durrett

The Pause That Refreshes

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:08:00 -0000

I'm going to be taking a short pause from momplex.

This has been such a special space for me, and I'm so proud of what we have created together. Right now, I'm taking some time to reset and get clear on what's next so I can continue showing up here in the best way possible. This isn't goodbye, it's just a pause. Thank you for being here, for listening and for being a part of this community. I'm so grateful for you, and I'll be back soon.

Until then, you can always find me on Instagram and you can always send me an email.

You’re Not Overreacting… You’re Time Traveling

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:40:00 -0000

I explore why I sometimes overreact to my kids and how it’s often not about them, but about my past. When something happens to my child—like a bad grade, getting benched, or being left out—it can catapult me back to my own teenage wounds. My nervous system, through neuroception, scans for danger and pulls old memories from my internal “storage unit,” reacting as if I’m still that younger version of myself.

I explain how parts of us can freeze in time during overwhelming experiences and how “protector parts” like the perfectionist, overachiever, or people-pleaser show up to keep us safe. These parts mean well, but they can lead me to control, fix, or overhelp my kids instead of letting them build resilience.

I share practical ways to pause, ground my nervous system, and ask, “How old do I feel right now?” That awareness helps me bring my adult self back to the driver’s seat, support my kids through their challenges, and tend to my own younger parts with compassion.

Why High-Functioning Moms Are So Emotionally Exhausted with Psychologist Alissa Jerud, PhD

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 07:41:00 -0000

This episode is a heartfelt conversation between me and clinical psychologist, professor, mom, and author Dr. Alissa Jerud about the emotional side of parenting that no baby book ever prepared us for. I open up about my own journey as a high-functioning, overachieving mom who thought if I just did everything “right,” my kids would be okay and my pain wouldn’t matter. Alissa shares how her book Emotion Savvy was born out of her own struggles with her daughter and how trying to change our kids is often really an attempt to escape our own discomfort—anxiety, guilt, overwhelm. We talk about over-scheduling, perfectionism, teens slamming doors, and the hard practice of not fixing everything. At the core, this episode is about learning to notice our emotions, accept them, care for ourselves, and model healthy emotional regulation so our kids feel safer being fully themselves.

Are We Even A Couple Anymore?

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 07:38:00 -0000

I get real about something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: what the heck happened to my marriage? I speak directly to moms who feel like they’re living parallel lives with their partner—amazing teammates and parents, but disconnected lovers. I share how the mental load, cognitive overload, and constant fight-or-flight nervous system state slowly push intimacy, desire, and playfulness to the bottom of the priority list. Using my own story of realizing my husband and I had slipped into “roommate” mode, I walk through how awareness—not shame—is the first step to change. I then offer five practical ways to start reigniting the spark: seeing each other again through deeper questions, ditching logistics-only conversations, rebuilding connection through touch, having brave “spicy” conversations, and creating things to look forward to together. This episode is a reminder that you’re not “just a mom”—you’re a whole woman who deserves a relationship that feels alive, loving, and deeply connected.

Here’s Scottie’s 5‑point list from the episode, ready for your show notes:

1. See each other again

Ask real questions beyond logistics:

- “What are you dreaming about lately?”

- “What do you wish we had going on in our life right now?”

- “What’s something you miss from when we first met?”

2. Ditch the logistics energy

Go on a date with a "no-kid-talk rule". Even 30–45 minutes at a local spot where you’re just two adults again—not administrators or co-CEOs of the household.

3. Touch each other a lot

Rebuild body trust and connection with casual, frequent touch:

- Hugs

- Hand-holding

- Sitting closer

- Playful brushes and booty grabs in passing

4. Have the spicy convo

Be bold and vulnerable. Send a text or start a conversation that says, “I miss you” or “I want more connection,” instead of just talking schedules and to‑dos.

5. Create something together

Make a **shared future** that’s not about the kids:

- A couples’ bucket list

- A weekend trip

- Plans for your life together after the kids leave the house

The “Good Mom” Trap That’s Draining You (and how to get yourself back)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 07:26:00 -0000

I open up about the “good mom trap” and why so many of us feel exhausted, resentful, and disconnected even though we’re doing “all the right things.” I explain that our real issue usually isn’t time, it’s permission—our nervous system has learned that constant busyness equals safety and goodness, while rest and pleasure feel selfish or even dangerous. Drawing on polyvagal theory, I share how past experiences and subconscious patterns train us to stay on the hamster wheel, chasing praise and productivity while slowly abandoning ourselves. I walk you through small, tolerable steps to show your nervous system that it’s safe to slow down and choose yourself—in five-minute breaks, moments of saying no, or doing something purely because you enjoy it. Ultimately, this isn’t just about self-care; it’s about modeling nervous system regulation for our kids and reclaiming our own joy, identity, and aliveness. You make sense, and you matter.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:53:00 -0000

Scottie Durrett and Diane Sorenson discuss the challenges of modern motherhood, focusing on boundaries, people pleasing, and the pressure to be a perfect mom. Diane shares her journey from a performance-based motherhood to embracing emotional development and relationship-based practices. She emphasizes the importance of self-connection and understanding one's true self beyond societal expectations. Diane also highlights the need for mothers to recognize and address their children's emotional needs, rather than just focusing on behavior.

I Spoke Up… and My Ovaries Restarted

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:52:00 -0000

I share a wild story about my body and my relationship with my mom. After almost two years without a period, I was convinced I was in menopause—I'd started HRT, talked about it on the podcast, and mentally moved into that next phase of life. Then I had a 49‑years‑in‑the‑making, honest, loving but unfiltered conversation with my mom where I finally said everything I’d been holding inside. The very next week, my period came back in full force.

I’m not claiming a lab-proven miracle, but the timing made me look closely at how deeply our emotions, stress, and nervous system impact our hormones and physical health. I talk about being the “good daughter” and lifelong emotional caretaker, how that chronic stress lived in my body, and how our stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, flop) shape our decisions and our health.

I share how setting a boundary—telling my mom I’m not responsible for her happiness—let my nervous system exhale, strengthened our relationship, and reminded me that our bodies are always listening.

I also referenced two old MOMPLEX episodes in this show. You can episode 44 here and 46 here.

K. Margaret Solario: Finding Calm in Chaos, The Power of Energy

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:39:00 -0000

I speak with intuitive guide, energy mentor, and author K. Margaret Solario to explore how we can bring more ease, calm, and alignment into our everyday lives as moms—without having to change our entire external world. Kay shares how COVID became her breaking point, shifting her from “holding it all together” to realizing life shouldn’t feel like constant battle armor and a race against time. Over three years, she experimented with energy, mindset, and time, eventually creating the tools she now shares in her book, Make Ease Your Vibe.

We talk about reframing our relationship with time, letting go of the belief that big dreams require huge blocks of perfect conditions. Kay shares how she wrote her first draft in just 15 focused minutes a day. We dig into mindset patterns like over-explaining, proving our worth, and arguing for our own limitations, and how shifting these creates more freedom.

She also introduces the idea of energetic clutter in our homes—how spaces hold emotional residue—and explains her Home Frequency Reset work, which she does remotely with angelic guidance. Throughout, we come back to one core truth: joy and ease aren’t luxuries for moms; they’re the point, and living that truth becomes a powerful blueprint for our kids.

Cougar Puberty: 12 WTF Signs of Perimenopause No One Warned Us About

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 08:01:00 -0000

I open up a real, unfiltered conversation about perimenopause and why so many of us feel confused, exhausted, and a little bit like we’re “losing it.” I talk directly to moms who are doing “all the right things” and still don’t feel good—physically, mentally, or emotionally. Instead of brushing symptoms off as “just getting older” or “just mom life,” I invite you to see them as messages from your body asking for attention, care, and support.

I share how shifting hormones like estrogen and progesterone impact everything from your period to your mood, sleep, skin, energy, and even your tolerance for other people’s nonsense. I reframe perimenopause as a sacred transition—not you falling apart, but you falling into alignment and meeting a new, more honest, powerful version of yourself. I walk you through simple tools like breathwork, rest, tracking symptoms, movement in micro doses, and getting real medical help so you stop suffering in silence.

Most importantly, I remind you that feeling good is your birthright. You’re not broken; you’re evolving.

The 12 signs I cover:

Unpredictable periods
Rage texting/posting
Memory/brain fog
Sore, swollen breasts
Hot/cold flashes
Crushing exhaustion
Emotional whiplash
Skin and hair changes
Rising anxiety
Heightened senses
Low tolerance for BS
3 a.m. existential spirals

Finding Your Classic Style and Embracing Who YOU are with Artist, Author and Mother, Kate Schelter

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 08:01:00 -0000

I am joined by artist, author, and creative director Kate Schelter to talk about what happens when motherhood and crisis completely crack your identity open. Kate shares how leaving New York City after twenty years, having two babies in two years, and living through COVID left her feeling stripped of her professional self and flooded with fear and anxiety—even while she was sitting in the “abundant nest” she’d always dreamed of.

We dive into how she slowly rebuilt a sense of self by fiercely advocating for her own needs, like non‑negotiable solo trips back into the city, and why doing what lights you up is essential for your kids, not selfish. Kate explains her philosophy of personal style as authentic handwriting, the danger of “snowplow parenting,” and how to model courage, creativity, and self-trust instead of martyrdom. This conversation is a love letter to ambitious moms who refuse to choose between their art, their work, and their children.

5 Humbling Lessons I’ve Learned as a Mama

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 08:57:00 -0000

I use this Momplex episode to share some of the most humbling lessons I’ve learned as a mom and to call BS on the idea that we have to be perfect. For years, I believed that every mistake meant I was failing and that everyone was judging me and my kids. I now see mistakes as feedback, not proof that I’m a bad mom. Backed by neuroplasticity and growth mindset, I talk about how our brains—and our lives—are always capable of change. I share real stories about chasing gold stars, comparing my kids to others, taking their behavior personally, and gripping so tightly to their outcomes that I missed the actual moments with them. I also admit how long I put my own life on hold. In this episode, I invite you to drop the shame, live your own life more fully, and model self-compassion and resilience for your kids.

The 5 things I talk about:

Waiting for praise – Depending on others’ validation instead of my own.
Holding my kids to someone else’s timeline – Pushing milestones instead of trusting their pace.
Taking it personally – Making their moods and meltdowns about me.
Being obsessed with their wins and losses – Treating their outcomes like a report card on my parenting.
Waiting on my life because of them – Pausing my own dreams instead of showing them what a fully lived life looks like.

When Life Breaks You Open: Grief, Survival & Finding Joy Again with Alexandra Wyman

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0000

I talk with Alexandra Wyman, a mom, author, podcast host, and pediatric occupational therapist who became a single mom after losing her husband to suicide just four days before their second wedding anniversary.

Alexandra shares how she spent years following the “checklist” for a perfect life—college, career, marriage, house, kids—and how it finally felt like everything had clicked when she met her husband and started a family. When he died by suicide, that entire vision disappeared overnight, and she was left grieving not only her husband, but the life, identity, and future she thought she was supposed to have.

We dig into what grief really looks like behind the scenes:

Feeling like a shell of a person and having almost no capacity.Letting the smallest things be enough—sometimes just getting out of bed or giving her one-year-old a bath. Finding an anchor (for her, it was her son) as a reason to keep going, even when nothing made sense.

Alexandra talks honestly about the social side of grief—how some people you expect to show up don’t, how others quietly check in with simple “thinking of you” messages that mean everything, and how little we’re taught about death, estates, and supporting someone through profound loss.

We also explore the inner work she’s done:

Untangling people-pleasing, outcome-controlling, and long-held feelings of abandonment and low self-worth.Learning she didn’t need a partner to “complete” her; her wholeness was already within her. Blending neuroscience (understanding what grief does to the brain) with spirituality (leaning on her “spirit team” and a bigger sense of purpose).

As a mom, Alexandra is now focused on raising her son to be grounded in who he is, instead of seeking validation from others. She’s shifted away from the idea that kids’ behavior defines a parent’s worth, and instead sees parenting as a mutual learning process where both parent and child are growing, regulating, and healing together.

Out of her experience, Alexandra created:

Her book, ⁠The Suicide Club: What to Do When Someone You Love Chooses Death, ⁠written as the handbook she wishes she’d had.Her podcast, ⁠Forward to Joy, where she shares tools and stories ⁠about grief, healing, and finding meaning after loss.

This conversation is for any mom whose life doesn’t look the way she thought it would, who feels like she’s rebuilding from the ground up. Alexandra reminds us that grief isn’t linear, joy isn’t off-limits, and it’s okay to move forward in baby steps—one small act of living and loving at a time.

Scottie was honored to be a guest on Alexandra Wyman’s podcast FORWARD TO JOY, continuing the conversation around grief, loss, and how moms survive, find joy and balance.

Soul Saving Mantra for 2026: "They Will Get it When They Get it"

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0000

This episode of Momplex is all about releasing the pressure of parenting by milestones and trusting our kids’ unique timelines. I share how I started Momplex in 2021 as a safe space to admit that while I adore my kids, I wasn’t always loving motherhood—and how that honesty became a movement for moms who are tired of guilt and perfectionism.

I walk you through my own anxiety when my kids didn’t “measure up” on traditional timelines—my middle son’s delayed puberty, my daughter’s late crawling and hair growth, and how those fears kept me up at night. Through personal stories and what the science actually says, I reframe milestones as ranges, not report cards.

I offer mindset shifts and practical tools to help you stop comparing, mute triggering social feeds, and trust that your child—and you—will “get it when you get it.” You’re not behind. Neither is your kid.

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

It's another honest, raw conversation. This time with Lauren Degolia, a fellow mom and the self-proclaimed Chief Expansion Officer. Together, we unpack the often-unspoken challenges of motherhood—burnout, postpartum depression, toxic work experiences, and the external pressures moms face. Lauren shares her journey, from surviving ovarian cancer to navigating a demanding corporate career and how astrology became a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing. We talk about the importance of understanding our subconscious patterns, listening to our bodies, and embracing vulnerability—sometimes even learning to ask for help. Lauren’s insights on the sun, moon, and rising signs offer a practical way for moms to check in with themselves and foster self-acceptance. Ultimately, this episode is about supporting each other, embracing our unique journeys, and committing to self-mastery. You’re not alone, Mama—together, we can grow, heal, and reclaim our confidence.

When You’re ‘Fine’: Identifying the Sneaky Triggers of Mom Burnout

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:45:00 -0000

I talk honestly about how overwhelming life can feel, especially during busy seasons like May when it seems like everything happens at once. Despite my best self-care efforts—hydrating, sleeping well, and taking supplements—I still found myself completely exhausted, wanting nothing more than to collapse on the sofa with a Diet Coke and a crime show. I share that these ups and downs aren’t isolated to certain months; as moms, we’re constantly navigating new challenges, whether just making it through the week or managing our kids at home during summer. I get real about how future-tripping in search of relief becomes an exhausting cycle, and how our overworked bodies and minds eventually demand we pay attention. One of the biggest messages I want to share is the power of self-awareness and choice. No matter what’s going on with your family, kids, or community, you have power over your responses. I introduce my favorite practice from Kabbalah—the pause and reflection—and stress that our feelings are valid, but they’re also clues about what we need. I also open up about my personal struggles—a difficult year with the sudden loss of our dog, my father-in-law’s illness, and my daughter’s tough college admissions season. Even when I appeared “fine” on the outside, I was feeling drained inside. I explain how depression doesn’t always look like sadness; sometimes it’s that sense of going through the motions without a spark. To support listeners, I break down the sneaky triggers of depression: emotional overload, nutrient deficiencies, hormones, thyroid issues, poor sleep, alcohol, loneliness, chronic pain, and low libido. I offer practical advice for each, encouraging small, manageable changes—like getting outside, calling a friend, or saying no to just one task today. Most importantly, I encourage everyone to take their feelings seriously, seek professional or community support when needed, and remember that taking care of ourselves sets an example for our kids. I’m here to help, and I invite listeners to reach out for personalized support. My mission is to empower you with tools, truth, and a reminder: you deserve to feel good and truly enjoy your life, starting with simple, intentional choices today.

Why Healing Yourself Helps Your Whole Family with Melissa Armstrong

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 08:06:00 -0000

I welcomed Melissa Armstrong, whose journey from childhood trauma to holistic healing is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Listening to Melissa recount her experiences—facing family adversity, surviving a school shooting, and enduring the devastating loss of her brother—reminded me how resilient we can be. As she described how the compassion of ICU nurses inspired her to become one herself and later transition into holistic health, I was struck by her courage to keep healing and help others do the same. We talked about the realities of “mom life,” the hidden effects of trauma, and how symptoms like brain fog and anxiety often go ignored. Melissa shared practical, accessible steps like mindful breathing and EFT tapping, which I believe will truly empower our listeners. Her reminder that healing is a choice and that we’re never alone will stay with me. I’m honored to share her story and these transformative tools.

Melissa had a chaotic and traumatic childhood that was marked by parental addiction and abuse, surviving a school shooting at 15, and witnessing her brother's tragic death at 18. These unresolved traumas manifested into severe physical symptoms, leading her to explore alternative healing methods. Over more than 20 years, she transitioned from a career in nursing to becoming a Trauma-Informed Functional Health Practitioner. Today, she empowers women and their families to heal their mind, body, and spirit with root-cause healing through the mind-body connection, somatic work, nervous system regulation, lab testing, lifestyle changes, and nutrition. She firmly believes that healing is always possible.

Choose You: Why Self-Trust Is the New Self-Improvement

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 08:19:00 -0000

I welcome you to 2026 with my mantra, "2026: I choose me," inviting moms to stop abandoning themselves and to embrace their true selves. I rejected New Year's resolutions rooted in shame and ego, urging soul-led goals and specific intentions. I shared personal stories—choosing to wear a bright pink sweater and speaking up at a holiday tea—to illustrate trusting gut over conditioned fear. I encouraged dropping over-explaining, setting simple boundaries, and allowing desires without justifying them to others. I emphasized embodiment over fixing: move from head to body, breathe, take nature walks, and practice rituals that calm the nervous system so intuition can guide action. I reminded listeners that living authentically models courage for our children, helps manifest change, and attracts the right people. I offered calibration sessions to support this work and closed with reassurance: You’re doing better than you think and you are exactly the mama your kids need.

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 08:05:00 -0000

I tuned into my higher self and spirit guides to share five guiding themes for the year ahead.

Feeling Like Sh*t Isn’t Normal: How to Get Healthier, Happier & Hotter with Functional Practitioner Layne VanLieshout

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 08:28:00 -0000

I chatted with functional practitioner Layne Vanlieshout about reclaiming health as a mom. I opened up about how exhaustion, brain fog, bloating, and being dismissed by doctors had become normalized — and Lane shared her own turning point of panic attacks and mysterious symptoms that conventional care didn’t resolve. She explained a gut-first, root-cause approach: nourish the body, prioritize regular meals (especially breakfast), support the microbiome, and reduce physical stressors so hormones, digestion, and energy can rebalance. We talked practical steps — add colorful plant foods, protein, fermented foods, and bone broth — and when targeted labs like a GI‑MAP can clarify underlying issues. Lane offers deep one‑on‑one work and a self‑paced 12‑week reset for busy moms. The episode’s core message: normal isn’t optimal. Listening to your body and investing in sustainable, foundational changes can restore energy, mood, and confidence so you can be the mom you want to be.

What Healthy Boundaries Actually Look Like at the Holidays

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 08:11:00 -0000

As a mom, I know the holiday season can be overwhelming. We're constantly juggling expectations from family, social media, and our own hearts, trying to create the perfect experience. In this episode, I share my journey of learning to set boundaries and protect my energy. I've realized that people-pleasing and trying to make everyone happy only leads to resentment and burnout.

I want to help moms understand that it's okay to prioritize themselves. Setting boundaries isn't about being difficult; it's about clarity and self-respect. Whether it's limiting event time, choosing what conversations to engage in, or saying no to peer pressure, these small steps can transform the holiday experience.

The most important lesson? By taking care of myself, I'm not just helping myself - I'm modeling healthy behavior for my children and breaking generational patterns of self-sacrifice.

The Hardest Help: A Story of Alcoholism, Loss & Hope with Holly Thorton

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 14:16:00 -0000

I wanted to create a space for Holly to share her vulnerable story about losing her husband to alcoholism at just 36 years old. Through our conversation, we explored the complex journey of supporting a loved one struggling with addiction, the importance of trusting your instincts, and how moms can find strength even in their most challenging moments.

Holly's story is a testament to resilience - showing how we can navigate incredibly difficult circumstances while trying to hold our families together. We discussed the subtle red flags of addiction, the challenges of setting boundaries, and the critical importance of supporting oneself through impossible situations. My goal was to create an episode that would make listeners feel seen, supported, and hopeful, even when life feels overwhelming.

Holly Thornton is a writer and advocate dedicated to helping people coping with loved ones’ alcoholism. (The Hardest Help) After tragically losing her husband Steve to alcoholism, she drew on personal experience — and recognized the lack of practical guidance available — to write The Hardest Help. Rather than offering a memoir or purely clinical manual, her book serves as a hands-on guide: blending lived experience with actionable tools, scripts, exercises, and advice rooted in evidence-based methods.

Through her writing and outreach (on social media and other platforms), Holly seeks to equip families and loved ones with real-world strategies to support someone struggling with addiction — transforming helpless concern into informed, compassionate action.

The Mom’s Guide to Reclaiming Joy in Motherhood with Whitney Baker

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 08:11:00 -0000

I brought Whitney Baker on to explore a critical issue for moms: how we lose ourselves in the chaos of motherhood. We dove deep into the ways moms run on autopilot, constantly doing for everyone else while neglecting their own needs. Whitney helped me articulate something I've felt deeply - that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish, it's actually the most generous thing we can do for our families.

Whitney Baker is the founder of Electric Ideas, a movement helping modern women—especially moms—wake back up to themselves and reclaim the spark they’ve lost in the noise of roles and responsibilities.

Protecting Your Peace: Scottie’s Guide to Authentic Living

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 08:21:00 -0000

I share a personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of trusting myself. After experiencing a friend's devastating loss, I realized life is too short to chase external validation through Instagram followers or perfect holiday performances. I've learned that what truly matters is being present, listening to my body, and honoring my own feelings.

The pressure to be a perfect mom, to say yes to everything, and to meet society's expectations is exhausting. Instead, I'm choosing to protect my peace, redefine success on my terms, and show my kids that it's okay to prioritize your own joy. Every "no" creates space for a meaningful "yes," and by taking care of myself, I'm teaching my children the most important lesson: you are enough, just as you are.

How To Say No and Keep The Peace This Holiday

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 23:33:00 -0000

I'm diving deep into the art of saying no during the holiday season. As a mom who's been a chronic people-pleaser, I've learned that saying yes when you mean no only leads to resentment and exhaustion. I share my personal journey of trying to make everyone happy during my parents' divorce, and how it left me stressed and disconnected.

The key is to prioritize your family's needs first. I recommend sitting down together and discussing what everyone truly wants from the holidays. Learning to set boundaries isn't about rejecting others – it's about protecting your peace and showing up authentically. By saying no with love and clarity, we can create more meaningful connections and teach our children the importance of self-care and honest communication.

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 07:18:00 -0000

I'm uncovering the toxic world of mom reels on social media. You know those hilarious videos of moms in messy kitchens making jokes about never peeing alone? I'm calling them out.

I'll share how I escaped feeling invisible and overwhelmed by making small, intentional choices that brought my joy and energy back.

Maxed Out? It’s Not You—It’s the “I Can’t” Lie

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 07:14:00 -0000

I dive deep into the reality of burnout for modern moms. I challenge the dangerous "I can't" mindset that keeps us stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from ourselves. Drawing from my personal experience of feeling overwhelmed while standing in a messy kitchen late one night, I expose how burnout isn't just about being tired—it's about losing our identity and living on autopilot.

I share startling statistics: nearly 70% of working parents are burned out, and only a quarter of moms report excellent mental health. But here's the truth: burnout is optional. I offer practical strategies to break free, like taking micro-pauses, saying no to draining commitments, and asking for help.

My message is clear: you're not broken, you're a badass. Stop waiting for "someday" and start reclaiming your life now. Thriving is available, and you absolutely deserve it.

21 Years of Marriage… and the One Thing I’ve Learned After Kids

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 08:05:00 -0000

I want to share my insights on maintaining a strong marriage after having kids. Marriage is like a team sport, and the key is remembering you're on the same team. In my 21-year marriage, I've learned that small moments matter more than grand gestures. Flirting, supporting each other, and recognizing each other's efforts are crucial.

I've experienced the challenges of parallel lives after having children - feeling disconnected, exhausted, and struggling to maintain intimacy. But I've discovered that redefining romance, embracing micro-moments of connection, and letting each other be imperfect can keep the relationship alive.

My message is simple: choose each other every day. Whether it's a quick hug, a flirty text, or helping with household chores, these small acts of teamwork can reignite your connection and remind you why you fell in love in the first place.

September Is a Mom’s Hunger Games — Here’s How to Win

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 08:05:00 -0000

I know how overwhelming it can feel to juggle school, sports, work, and family life. In this episode, I share my own experiences—like dropping my daughter at college while my boys started school without me—and the realization that simply pushing through isn’t sustainable. I want you to thrive, not just survive, so I offer five sanity moves:

Here are the five “sanity moves” from the episode:

1. Lower the bar – Give yourself permission to not do everything perfectly. Focus on what you have the bandwidth for and let go of unnecessary expectations.
2. The 15-second reset – When stress hits, pause for 15 seconds (or even just five), take a deep breath, and reset before responding.
3. Say one brave “No” – Protect your energy by saying no to at least one thing that drains you this week.
4. Borrow your calm – Your kids mirror your vibe. Take a grounding breath, step outside, or pause before responding to help set a calm tone for your family.
5. Anchor in the joy – Schedule one non-negotiable joyful activity for yourself this month and protect it like an important meeting.

Why Are There So Many Freaking Apps for Sports?

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0000

As a mom navigating the chaotic world of youth sports, I'm overwhelmed by the endless apps, group chats, and logistical nightmares. Managing my kids' sports schedules feels like running a Fortune 500 company from my car, with nothing but a team hat as compensation. I've found myself drowning in multiple sports apps like TeamSnap and SportsEngine, constantly worried about missing crucial information about uniforms, practice times, and tournament availability. To maintain my sanity, I've implemented some game-changing strategies: a color-coded wall calendar, limiting group chat responses, and most importantly, delegating responsibilities to my kids. I'm teaching them to take ownership of their sports commitments, just like I did when I played sports without smartphones. The key is simplifying the chaos, staying calm, and remembering that we moms don't have to carry the entire load. We're in this together, surviving on iced coffee and the hope that someday, coaches will unite and use just one app.

Tips:

1. Wall Calendar Strategy

Get a large white erase board
Color-code by kid, sport, and life activities
Put everything in one visible spot
Update at the beginning of each month

2. Text Chain Management

Stop replying to every group chat
Catch up with parents in person at tournaments
Reduce digital communication stress

3. Delegate to Kids

Have kids ask coaches about practice times
Encourage kids to write their own schedules
Make kids responsible for uniform preparation
Let them manage team expectation

4. Simplification Techniques

Give some responsibilities to kids
Ask partners to help with app management
Reduce digital overwhelm
Focus on personal communication

5. Mindset Shifts

Take radical responsibility for personal wellness
Practice deep breathing to manage anxiety
Recognize you don't have to do everything
Understand that your calm is contagious to kids

6. Practical Tips

Prepare uniforms the night before
Communicate directly with coaches
Keep a backup of all uniforms in a bag
Stay organized and proactive

Stop Calling It 'Just Mom Life' — It’s Slowly Killing You

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 16:43:00 -0000

As a mom and host of the Momplex Podcast, I’m passionate about helping other mothers rediscover their joy and confidence. In this episode, I call out the myth that feeling exhausted and overwhelmed is just “mom life.” I share my own struggles with burnout, brain fog, and constant stress, and how I learned to listen to my body’s signals. By regulating my nervous system through conscious breathing, movement, grounding, and self-care, I transformed my health and mindset. I encourage you to notice your symptoms, join my free 7-Day Nervous System Reset Challenge, and reach out with what you’re experiencing. You don’t have to accept feeling drained—healing is possible, and when you prioritize yourself, you set a powerful example for your kids. Let’s break the cycle of burnout together and step into our most energized, confident, and joyful lives.

I know I gave a few "lists" in this episode but I have shared them with you here.

1. Symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system:
- Chronic exhaustion (tired even after sleep) - Brain fog (forgetfulness, confusion) - Mood swings (loss of interest, irritability) - Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, appetite changes) - Sleep struggles (trouble falling/staying asleep, no dreams, waking at 3am) - Anxiety (constant worry, expecting bad news) - Frequent sickness (catching colds easily, slow recovery) - Physical tension (tight jaw, headaches, tense neck/shoulders) - Hormonal shifts (perimenopause effects, feeling weaker)

2. Tips to regulate your nervous system:
- Conscious breathing (deep, belly breaths, habit-stacked into daily routines) - Movement (not just exercise—walking, shaking out limbs, dancing, moving during calls) - Grounding (noticing senses: 5 things you see, 4 feel, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste) - Singing and humming (using your voice for regulation) - Pausing before reacting (hand on chest, deep breath, ask how you want to respond)

3. "Nervous system triggered mom moments" (examples of signs you might be dysregulated):
- Snack rage (irritation when kids ask for snacks) - Forgetting why you entered a room - Freezing when someone calls "mom" - Anxiety from email/phone notifications - Invisible mental load (remembering everyone’s needs, forgetting your own) - Late-night Netflix/revenge procrastination (staying up for alone time) - Overreaction regret (snapping at family, then feeling guilty) - Super stressed shoulders/neck pain - Digestion issues (bloating, unexplained changes) - Waking up at 3am, frequent illness

How to Talk to Your Kids About Loss—When the World Feels Scary and Sad

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 07:15:00 -0000

As a mom and host of the Momplex Podcast, I know how heavy grief can feel, especially when it touches our children. In this episode, I share my own journey navigating loss and offer practical ways to help our kids process grief. I believe in being honest with our children—using clear, simple words like “death” and “died,” rather than vague phrases that can confuse or scare them. I encourage letting kids ask questions and expressing that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Modeling healthy ways to process emotions, like crying or journaling, shows our kids that feelings are safe and normal. Most importantly, I remind them—and myself—that they are loved and safe, and that we’ll figure things out together. Supporting our children through grief not only helps them build resilience, but also heals parts of ourselves. We are the exact parents our kids need, right now.

How to Offer Comfort to Those Who Are Hurting (Without Making It About Us)

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 07:58:00 -0000

This is about the challenging topic of grief and supporting loved ones through loss. I share insights on how to genuinely help friends and family experiencing profound sadness, emphasizing the importance of showing up consistently and authentically. I offer practical advice like saying the loved one's name, providing specific help, and being present long after the initial mourning period. I also discuss how to help children navigate grief, teaching them compassion and emotional awareness. My message is clear: grief is a lifelong journey, and we shouldn't shy away from supporting those in pain. I stress that it's not about saying the perfect thing, but about making people feel loved, seen, and supported. By leaning in during difficult times, we create a compassionate environment that helps people heal. My goal is to provide tools and understanding for moms dealing with loss and supporting others through their grief.

Together, we explore what grief really is, how it affects our bodies and minds, and why it’s so important to give ourselves and our children space to process these heavy emotions. You will hear gentle, practical ways to move through grief—like deep breathing, journaling, and reaching out to others. I also touch on how to talk to kids about loss with honesty and compassion. My hope is that this episode provides comfort, support, and a sense of community as we navigate the hard, beautiful work of healing.

The Power of Trying New Things as a Mom

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 08:02:00 -0000

After feeling disconnected and overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, I embarked on a six-month certification journey, learning NLP, EFT, hypnotherapy, and coaching techniques. I candidly discuss how I was neglecting myself, carrying stress, and losing my identity amidst the chaos of raising three kids, running a business, and navigating perimenopause.

My message is powerful: moms don't have to live on autopilot or sacrifice their dreams. By understanding the language of our body, heart, and soul, women can heal, grow, and thrive. I encourage listeners to become beginners again, try new things, and let their children witness their personal growth and resilience.

The episode is a passionate call to action for mothers to prioritize self-care, challenge limiting beliefs, and create space for joy, learning, and personal transformation. My raw honesty and practical insights offer hope and inspiration for moms feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

In this episode of Momplex, I open up about the real, unspoken truths of motherhood—the exhaustion, the guilt, and the journey to rediscovering myself as my kids grow up. Joined by Matt Cundill, we dive deep into the generational expectations placed on moms, the constant companion of guilt, and the importance of prioritizing our own well-being. I share my personal “laundry basket epiphany,” the challenges of maintaining relationships while raising kids, and practical tips for self-care, communication, and planning family vacations that work for everyone.

Mastering Communication with Your Kids

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Once again I dive into the deep end of parenting as our kids grow and push boundaries. I share my own experiences and mistakes, emphasizing the importance of open communication and not taking our children’s behavior personally. I discuss how our approach must evolve as our kids mature, and how their pushback is often a sign of growth, not failure. I talk about the need to stay calm, regulate our own emotions, and set clear, consistent boundaries. I encourage connecting with our children before correcting them, and being curious about what their behavior is really communicating. I remind listeners that our kids’ actions are not a reflection of our worth as parents, but an opportunity to guide and support them. Ultimately, I hope to empower moms to trust themselves, grow alongside their children, and foster stronger, more respectful relationships at home.

Traveling with Kids: How to Love & Embrace it at any stage!

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 08:49:00 -0000

I dive deep into the realities of traveling with kids—from toddlers to grown children—and how these trips can be both chaotic and magical. I share my own experiences and honest truths about the challenges moms face, like packing for toddlers, managing expectations, and finding moments of self-care and joy amidst the chaos. I talk about the importance of keeping routines for little ones, giving older kids choices, and letting teens have autonomy (and sleep!). I also get real about maintaining intimacy with your partner on family trips and why it’s essential to prioritize yourself, not just your family.

Throughout the episode, I encourage you to reframe your mindset around family travel, set clear intentions for your trips, and remember that the best memories often come from imperfect moments. I remind you that you deserve to feel good, rest, and have fun on your family adventures.

How to Embrace the Summer Slowdown (summer series 3)

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 07:02:00 -0000

As a mom, navigating the end of the school year and the start of summer, I'm sharing my insights on how we can avoid burnout and truly enjoy this season. In this episode,, I dive deep into the importance of slowing down and giving ourselves and our kids a much-needed break. Summer isn't about constant activity, but about rest, connection, and healing. I challenge moms to let go of the pressure to create perfect memories and instead embrace unstructured time, boredom, and spontaneity. By normalizing mess, creating buffer zones in our day, and speaking kindly to ourselves, we can teach our children (and ourselves) how to regulate our nervous systems. The key is to listen to our bodies, allow for flexibility, and remember that presence matters more than perfection. This episode is a soul challenge to let summer be messy, real, and wonderfully imperfect.

Breaking the Busy Cycle: A Mom's Guide (smr detox part 2)

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 07:02:00 -0000

A deep dive into the culture of busyness and its impact on our nervous system. As a mom, I've struggled with the addiction to being constantly productive, believing my worth was tied to my to-do list. I share my personal journey of realizing how chronic stress and the need to always be doing something was harming my mental and physical health.

I explore how our subconscious mind equates busyness with safety and significance, and offer practical tips for breaking this cycle. By creating micro-moments of stillness, redefining what "enough" means, and practicing rest without guilt, we can heal our nervous system and reclaim our sense of self.

The message is simple: We are not machines, but souls who need space to breathe and heal. By modeling rest for our children and ourselves, we can transform our relationship with productivity and find true peace.

Embracing Boredom: A Summer Guide for Parents (summer detox series part 1)

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 07:02:00 -0000

Summer break is here, and I'm diving deep into the magic of boredom! As a mom, I used to panic every time my kids said they were bored, rushing to fill every moment with activities. But I've learned something powerful: boredom isn't the enemy—it's actually medicine for our souls.

Why It’s Totally Normal to Be Sad AND Excited That School’s Out

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 15:15:00 -0000

As a mom navigating the end of the school year, I'm feeling every emotion possible right now. June has arrived, and I'm simultaneously exhausted and overwhelmed. My nervous system is completely fried from the chaos of May - field days, final projects, teacher gifts, and endless schedules. I'm processing so many feelings about my kids growing up. My oldest is graduating and heading to college, my sophomore is becoming more independent, and my youngest is finishing sixth grade. Each of them is in a different emotional space, and I'm trying to support them while managing my own complex emotions. The key is giving myself grace. I'm recognizing that grief and joy can coexist. It's okay to cry in the carpool line and be excited about summer. I don't need a perfect Pinterest summer - boredom is healing for my kids and me. This transition is big, and I deserve space to feel all of it.

I’m a Bad MFer & Other Mantras I’m Giving My Kids

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 07:30:00 -0000

As a mom and life coach, I'm passionate about understanding the power of our subconscious mind. I've learned that 95% of our thoughts, actions, and feelings are controlled by our subconscious, which means we're essentially living out a script written long ago. By changing our internal dialogue and beliefs, we can transform our reality. I teach this to my kids and myself daily - using positive affirmations, visualization, and understanding that we're both the problem and the solution. Our thoughts are chemical messengers that can trigger stress or healing. By speaking to ourselves with kindness and belief, we can literally rewire our brain and create the life we want.

If you’re ready to break cycles, boost your confidence, and raise empowered, emotionally intelligent kids, this one is for you. Let’s rewire your thoughts and raise the next generation with some serious inner power.

Beyond Burnout: Prioritizing Your Mental Health (and Teaching Your Kids to Do the Same)

Tue, 13 May 2025 07:16:00 -0000

As a mom navigating the complex journey of motherhood, I'm passionate about breaking the silence around mental health. In this episode of the Momplex Podcast, I share my personal struggles with burnout, postpartum depression, and the importance of self-care. I discuss how our mental health isn't just about us, but about the example we set for our children. Drawing from my own experiences, I highlight the critical signs of maternal burnout and the need to listen to our body's signals. I encourage moms to check in with themselves, seek support, and understand that asking for help isn't a weakness—it's strength. With one in five teens facing mental health challenges, I believe we must model emotional resilience and self-compassion. By sharing our stories openly, we can normalize mental health conversations and create a supportive environment for ourselves and our children. This episode is a raw, honest call to prioritize our mental well-being.

Tapping on Anxiety: A Gentle Practice to Calm Your Nervous System

Tue, 06 May 2025 06:00:00 -0000

I delve into the transformative practice of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), commonly known as tapping. Initially skeptical, I discovered tapping as a gentle yet powerful tool to manage anxiety and stress, especially amidst the chaos of motherhood. Tapping combines elements of acupuncture and emotional acknowledgment, allowing us to soothe our nervous systems through simple, self-administered techniques. During the episode, I guide listeners through a step-by-step tapping sequence, encouraging them to voice their feelings and embrace their emotions without judgment. This practice isn't about eliminating anxiety but about recognizing and nurturing ourselves through it.

Whether you're overwhelmed or just seeking a moment of calm, tapping offers a path back to self-connection. Join me as we breathe, tap, and journey together towards emotional freedom.

The Health Hack ALL Mamas Need to Know: Why Blood Sugar Is the Secret Sauce for Every Mom

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 06:00:00 -0000

I’m sharing two powerful (and totally free!) hacks that my naturopath reminded me of — sunshine and mental vacations — plus the one unexpected factor that has completely rocked my world and helped me finally start feeling like myself again: blood sugar balance.

Yep. Blood sugar. I know, it doesn't sound sexy. But if you’re snapping at your kids, crashing mid-afternoon, living off coffee, or staring in the mirror wondering who the hell that tired woman is — it might be the missing link. I'm breaking it all down mama-style, explaining what blood sugar actually does in your body, why it's messing with your mood, cravings, energy, and sleep, and how to start balancing it with simple shifts — no diets, no shame, no “wellness” overwhelm.

I talk about what’s really going on when you feel blah even though you're "doing all the things," why cereal for dinner is totally fine (sometimes), and how starting your day with protein and fat might just change your entire week. This is about nourishing your body in a way that makes you feel strong, calm, focused, and energized — and yes, still eating pizza.

This episode is for the moms who are done feeling like crap, and ready to start feeling good again — without overhauling your life. It’s honest, empowering, and filled with tangible, realistic things you can do TODAY. Because you deserve to feel good in your body. Every damn day.

In this episode, I talk about:

The moment I told my naturopath “I feel blah” — and what she said
Why sunlight might be just as important as your green smoothie
What a “mental vacation” really looks like (spoiler: it's not a retreat)
How blood sugar impacts your mood, energy, cravings, sleep, and stress
The food and habit shifts that made me feel like ME again
Why this isn’t about dieting — it’s about understanding your biology
How to start making one intentional choice at a time

Managing your blood sugar = managing your life, mama.

If you’ve ever felt like your mood swings, energy crashes, or cravings are running the show—this episode is your reset.

“I Learned from Watching You”

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 06:00:00 -0000

I’m opening up about a powerful message that’s been lurking in my heart: Our kids are learning how to be human by watching us. Inspired by that unforgettable 90s commercial—"I learned it from watching you"—I dive into how our behavior, not just our words, shapes our children’s values, confidence, and ability to navigate today’s overwhelming world.

I share personal stories, insights from neuroscience, and real-life client moments that highlight how much influence we truly have—even when it doesn’t feel like it. From screen time to self-esteem, eating disorders to emotional health, I unpack how our actions create the emotional blueprint for our kids.

This episode isn’t about perfection—it's about awareness and intention. If they’re learning from watching us, let’s give them something worth copying. And in doing so, we benefit too.

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 06:00:00 -0000

This week, I dive deep into the critical topic of burnout for mothers. I share some personal experiences and insights about recognizing burnout's subtle signs, which include irritability, decision fatigue, emotional numbness, physical symptoms, and persistent exhaustion. I also offer practical strategies for mothers to address burnout, emphasizing that self-care isn't selfish but essential. If you're struggling with burnout, I encourage you to take small, manageable steps like five-minute breath work, reducing daily decisions, finding joy in small moments, and listening to their body's signals. The episode aims to help mothers break the cycle of survival mode, rediscover their spark, and create a more balanced, fulfilling motherhood experience.

You Go First as the MOM (How to Do This & Why It Matters More Than You Think)

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 06:00:00 -0000

This week, I get real about what it means to go first as a mom. I share my personal journey from total burnout—when I felt invisible in my own life—to a place of clarity, strength, and self-respect. I realized that waiting for the perfect time to take care of myself meant I was teaching my kids to wait on themselves, too. So I stopped waiting. I started choosing myself, not just for me, but for them. I talk about how one powerful moment with my daughter showed me just how much our kids absorb—not what we say, but how we live. I offer simple, doable ways to reconnect with yourself daily, even in the chaos. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing one thing that brings your energy back to you. Because when I go first, my whole family benefits. And Mama, the same is true for you.

Making Decisions With, Not For, Your Kids

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 08:18:00 -0000

Today, I talk about the transformative impact of involving children in decision-making, emphasizing how it fosters connection, reduces resistance, and builds confidence. I share a personal story about my youngest child's request to be consulted on family plans, which led me to incorporate his input. I highlight developmental research showing that children as young as three can express preferences, nurturing their autonomy and emotional regulation. I suggest offering simple choices for younger kids and involving older children in more complex decisions. Ultimately, I stress the importance of making children feel valued and heard, which strengthens trust and emotional safety within the family.

297. You Are Her: Embracing Your Unique Motherhood Journey

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 20:59:00 -0000

Scottie Durrett delivers a heartfelt message to mothers struggling with the pressures of parenting. She candidly shares her own journey of early motherhood, marked by anxiety and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Scottie challenges the societal narrative that mothers must have all the answers, emphasizing that motherhood is an "inside job" where confidence and strength come from within.

The episode explores the importance of self-trust and authenticity in parenting. Durrett argues that mothers often lose themselves by constantly seeking external validation and trying to emulate an idealized version of motherhood. She encourages listeners to embrace their unique parenting style, reminding them that their children chose them specifically.

Mistakes are not failures, but opportunities for growth. Scottie uses the metaphor of hurdle training to illustrate that life's challenges are feedback, not roadblocks. She advocates for showing children how to handle setbacks with grace and resilience.

This episode champions a compassionate approach to motherhood. By letting go of perfectionism, trusting themselves, and modeling self-acceptance, mothers can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and create deeper connections with their children.

131. 5 Reasons to STOP saying "I am fine!"

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 10:00:00 -0000

It’s okay to not be fine and to need help. This habitual narrative of saying you’re fine, when you, in fact are not, is limiting your happiness. I personally have done this, and it didn’t allow anyone to truly engage with the real me, and I also wasn’t allowing myself to live an extraordinary life. It’s time to stop lowering our expectations of ourselves, because this habit that is so common in motherhood can consume our identity. In today’s episode, I share 5 reasons to make the choice to tell people how you are really feeling instead, and change your habits for a more fulfilled, fun, and rewarding life. Tune in to hear:

127. I don't yell at my kids anymore & here's how! 5 tips to help you today.

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:00:00 -0000

It’s time to change the conversation that we have with ourselves, with other moms, and also with our kids. This listener requested topic is a great one, because not too long ago, I deemed myself a champion yeller, and yet I have stopped yelling at my kids, and it’s freaking beautiful. I have found that when we, as moms, are able to take care of ourselves, we are aware of our health and happiness, and can then show up for our kids the way in which they need us, and be the mom they will respect the most. So if you’re ready to also change the conversation, dive in as I peel back the five things that I have put into practice that are allowing me to yell less, laugh more, and be way more fun. You can easily put these into practice and quickly see the benefits. You’ve got this! Tune in to hear:

Why our energy matters in the morning
Stop yelling for ordinary things
How to show up in a way that feels good to you
The importance of giving your kid the respect & space that they need
Having awareness about your trigger points

Cait first shares how becoming a mother served as the catapult to her journey into entrepreneurship yet surrounded by guilt from every angle, then the importance of being willing to show others the imperfections of life, with no filter, although it can be scary to open yourself up for judgment from others, and lastly shares how she practices self love and self talk. You’ll walk away from this episode feeling encouraged to drop the comparison and give yourself the grace you deserve so well. In this episode, we cover:

The importance of flexibility as a mom
Mindset work and motivation
The importance of willing to be imperfect
How to take responsibility for your own happiness
Self love and self respect
Letting go of the comparison

103. How to Face Your Fears to FINALLY Achieve Your Dreams

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 11:07:00 -0000

With the start of the new year, comes New Year's Resolutions and goals. I love plans, goals, and setting intentions but I absolutely hate New Year's resolutions, largely because it’s often setting us up for failure. For the most part, goals aren’t achieved because we wake up on January 1st and become a new person, rather they are achieved by actually creating new habits and adopting a mindset shift. In this episode, I talk more about ways to handle the new year by setting intentions, facing your fears, and what steps you need to take to actually make your dreams come true. In this episode, we cover:

You are not a new person on January 1st [1:05]
Getting your beliefs behind your intentions [3:45]
Tackling fear and excitement [7:40]
Writing down your concerns and what you’re afraid of [12:39]
Talk your fears out loud [15:23]
Using your fear as motivation [18:05]
The embodiment of fear [21:04]

93. You Living By Default or By Design?

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Today’s topic is really big for me because I truly subscribed to this way of thinking, which is living a default life. At the time I didn’t know that this is what I was doing but when I realized what was happening it was eye-opening. Time is flying by and before you know it, you’re going to be old and grey which is totally fine but it’s important to make the most of what you have on this earth. During the episode, I talk more about how I am just on the cusp of figuring out more about who I am and what I want, whether or not you are actually living to your fullest and how to balance motherhood with your own identity.

Living to your fullest or living for others? [6:24]

91. What is REALLY stopping you from reaching your goals

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0000

There is so much we have to deal with as moms, that even though we try as hard as we can, there is very little we can do to control the things we cannot predict. Which brings up a really important question that we as moms need to ask ourselves - how do we handle adversity and our reactions to the things we cannot control? In today’s episode, I want to dive deeper into this topic and share more about how this manifests when it comes to achieving our goals. I talk about the psychology of fear, my issue with arbitrary dates for goal setting, and what is really stopping you from reaching your goals. In this episode, we cover:

Sometimes this can show up in parenting, for example, if your spouse was brought up a certain way, they may want to do the same thing for your kids and you might not want to. During the episode, I share my thoughts on the issue of imposing our own views on our kids, how to talk to your kids without an ego and why you should let your kids create their own experiences. In this episode, we cover:

We don’t always have to do things the way others have done it [2:22]
The issue with the “my way or the highway” approach [6:04]
Know your audience and how your kids want to learn [11:05]
How to talk to your kids without your ego [16:00]
Let your kids create their own experiences and stay curious [22:10]

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0000

All I keep hearing from moms like me is how overwhelmed, busy, and buried they are with their responsibilities, to the point that they cannot get to everything on their to-do list and they feel like they are at their wit's end.

69. They're growing up! How to handle this bittersweet transition as a parent

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 10:00:12 -0000

Watching our kids grow up is so exciting, but it’s also very hard for many of us. I have found that the older my kids get, the harder it is on me. Obviously, we want what’s best for our kids, but in order to do that, we need to trust that we have given them a good foundation and that they are able to make decisions on their own. These transitions require unconditional support. We never want to feel like we are interfering with their journey. I want to help so that you can cope and manage some of these huge transitions in a way that feels good to you. Today, I am sharing why we need to trust the decisions our kids are making, accepting how we feel during each transition of their lives, and letting them live their lives without having to worry about disappointing us. In this episode, we cover:

Taking responsibility for how we feel during each transition [1:53]
We can’t make what happens with our kids a reflection of us [8:14]
We need to trust our kids with the choices they are making and give them unconditional support [13:33]
Letting our kids live their lives without guilt [19:38]
There is only one person responsible for your happiness, and that’s you [24:37]
The bittersweet feeling of watching your kids grow up [30:41]

63. Are You a People Pleaser? I Have the Why & How to End the Need to Please!

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 10:00:55 -0000

All feelings and emotions serve a purpose for us. When we allow the feeling to process and give us the information that we need, then we can use it to head in the direction we're meant to be going. It can feel really uncomfortable to feel emotions that make us uncomfortable - but that’s only because we allow it to make us feel that way. Instead, we really need to center in on what that emotion is telling us and why. So when it comes to people pleasing, what is that emotion really trying to say? In this episode, I talk about the power of processing rather than burying our emotions, my own experience with people pleasing, why people pleasing is a habitual act, how science defines people pleasing and why you need to learn to love yourself first before you can start loving others. In this episode, we cover:

Let your emotions speak for themselves [0:40]
People pleasing affects all humans [7:14]
Sidelining your needs to serve others becomes habitual [12:25]
What is people pleasing? [17:12]
Learn to love yourself and then love others [23:49]
How to address chronic people pleasing [32:46]
Build up your confidence [37:36]

61. Moms, Can We Give Each Other a Break & Stop the Judging?

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 10:00:49 -0000

As moms, one thing we face on the daily is that we second guess ourselves constantly. We have this set of self imposed rules, we use to really judge ourselves, largely because we have our own level of perfectionism that we're trying to hit. It seems like most of our actions are based on trying to be a certain way, for ourselves and for our family, and for everybody that's looking on us. But another thing we also face is criticism from others, especially moms who are constantly judging the actions of other moms. In this episode, I want to talk about why we as moms need to give each other a break already and stop the judging! I share how judgment is a learned and nurtured behaviour, the constant barrage of choices and second guessing we deal with as moms, turning judgment into empathy and why we need to stop creating further divisions amongst moms. In this episode, we cover:

Facing judgment from other moms [0:52]
How do you become a judgmental person? [6:29]
Turn judgment into empathy 20:12]
When you love yourself you don’t compare yourself to others [30:05]
What to do the next time you judge a mom [39:41]

As women, there is immense pressure to look a certain way, no matter our age. In fact, aging isn’t even in the equation! We shouldn’t look like moms but we should act like them, we shouldn’t age but we shouldn’t dress too young, we should be smart but also shouldn’t let our physical appearance slide. I mean the list goes on - and after a while, that list becomes something normal that we process as gospel truth. Internalizing this idea of appearance equals self-worth and value is really harmful, but I understand it's really tough to let it go overnight. In today’s episode, I talk about being accountable for your own happiness and why you shouldn’t base your self-worth on your appearance. I share my thoughts on the harm behind comments on someone’s appearance, the pressure to be physically perfect and the impact it has on your mental state, and how to be mindful about social media, filters, and the illusion of perfection. In this episode, we cover:

Stop the pity party and start being accountable for your own happiness [1:20]
Your self-worth isn’t based on your appearance [7:43]
Commenting on someone's physical appearance can be harmful [14:19]
The pressure to be perfect on the outside while you crumble on the inside [19:34]
How we can speak up for ourselves and protect our wellness [27:09]
You are more than your physical appearance [32:27]

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 10:00:46 -0000

The main point of my platform and my purpose is to help you to stop turning outward for validation and self-worth. My goal is to help you filter out some of the external noise so that at the end of the day, the voice you hear and the one you trust the most, is your own. In today’s episode, I am talking about how to stop worrying about what others think about you! It’s easier said than done, but trust me when I say most people are more worried about their own selves than they are about you. During the episode, I share the importance of tuning into your own self, how caring about what others think really limits you, and moving beyond the comfort zone of relying on others to increase your self-worth. In this episode, we cover:

Not worrying about what others think [1:23]
Learning to trust yourself [4:59]
Basing your own mood on what others think of you [10:05]

55. Parent Denial Hurts Them More than Helps Them!

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 10:00:46 -0000

This episode is inspired by a story that really demonstrates a very common behaviour pattern amongst parents. This isn't about shaming parents at all, but I think it’s great to shed light on this behavior and really be honest and ask ourselves how does this actually benefit our kids? In today’s episode, I am talking about how we handle accusations that our children are involved in bullying. I get it, no parent wants to hear that their kid messed up. No parent wants to hear that their kid has behaved badly or gotten in trouble, but it's likely going to happen at some point, and when it does, how do you want to handle it? I explain the power of denial that often comes up in parenting, how honesty with yourself helps you face your own child’s poor choices and In this episode, we cover:

Denying our child’s bullying actions [2:17]
The power of denial [6:14]
Denial impacts your kids more than you think [11:15]
Getting comfortable with your own truths helps you face your children’s truths even better [16:49]
Perfection is an illusion so don’t aim for it [20:58]
Kids know they should face the consequences of their actions so teach them accordingly [25:59]

48. Your Inner Voice: Cheerleader or Sabotager?

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 10:00:04 -0000

The biggest dilemma a lot of moms face is asking for what you want and getting it. We’re told that’s exactly what we should do, but how do you do that? How do you tap into what really matters to you, and get the confidence to face your fear and actually ask for what you want? It can be really hard to do that when your own inner voice and inner monologue is stopping you at every single corner. In today’s episode I talk about how to harness your inner voice to become your cheerleader and not your sabotager. I share why our inner voice can be our own worst enemy, why trusting your gut directs you to the path of success and how you need to prioritize yourself and heal your inner voice. In this episode, we cover:

Being your own worst enemy [1:37]
Our inner voice was formed at a young age to impact the rest of your life [5:52]

40. You Have One Life, How You Gonna Live It?

Tue, 17 May 2022 10:00:39 -0000

I have a confession to make. On this podcast, I have always preached authenticity and finding the why behind what you do. In the past, I have explained what has motivated me to start a podcast but in reality, I have been holding back a little bit. I have been filtering my voice and I realize it’s not only doing a disservice to myself, it also isn’t fair to you! In today’s episode, I really want to deep dive into the idea of fear and filtering yourself. Moms have so much to offer and sometimes it can be really hard to show up as our most authentic and unfiltered version. I talk about why your happiness is your responsibility, why prioritizing your own needs helps others respect you better, ad why you didn't become a mom to silence your voice and be a victim. In this episode, we cover:

You can ask for everything you want and not have to hold back [3:36]
Take a day off whenever [8:06]
Your happiness is an inside job [13:19]
Prioritizing yourself means others respect you [20:15]
You are not a victim! [22:50]
You are here on this earth to have more than one day off [32:59]
You don’t have to justify the way you want to live your life [38:51]

38. The Working Mom/SAHM Battle That No One Is Winning!

Tue, 10 May 2022 10:00:20 -0000

It’s crazy how in 2022 we are still having this completely nonsensical battle between stay-at-home moms versus working moms. I mean it blows my mind! Why do we as moms find every reason to battle each other when we are already dealing with so many other battles? In today’s episode, I really want to deep dive into this heated topic between stay-at-home moms and working moms. I don’t need to tell you that I think both equally have merit, but this discussion needs to be had. I share why you should instead turn inward and determine why other mom’s choices make you feel uncomfortable, how no mom know’s it all and why you should focus on supporting other moms instead. In this episode, we cover:

Why are we battling each other? [1:46]
Judgment during covid, vaccines, and going back to school [9:52]
Ask yourself why do other mom’s choices make you feel uncomfortable [14:51]
There is no mom that knows it all [21:14]
Focus on support and curiosity [24:45]
Is the battle with other moms or within yourself? [27:52]

36. How You Speak to Yourself Matters & How It Creates Your Results!

Tue, 03 May 2022 10:00:51 -0000

I'm talking to you, the human, the woman, the person, not the mom, when I am asking if you feel connected to yourself. Because when it comes to the relationship you have with yourself, this is paramount. This is where you start everything, and it’s the origin for all of your thoughts, all of your behaviors, all of your actions, and ultimately, all of the results that take place in your life. In today’s episode, I am talking about one of the most important subjects ever - our inner dialogue and the way we talk to ourselves, because let’s face it, the inner voice that goes on in our head actually has a huge impact on our sense of self and identity. I share why we need to reframe the language we use in our day-to-day thoughts, why it’s important to step outside your zone of comfort, and how you can create the life you want by just changing the thoughts in your head. In this episode, we cover:

Our life and everything that follows starts with the stories we have in our heads [2:03]
Changing the language of fear and failure [7:02]
Aligning the stories in our head with the person we want to become [14:01]
It’s easy to stay in the zone of comfort, but it’s not always helpful [20:23]
Tuning into your emotions and how it connects to your internal story [28:45]
The impact of long term stress [34:09]
You have control over your story [42:14]

34. Confessions of a Former Mommy Martyr

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 10:00:37 -0000

Confessions of a shopaholic - move over, there’s a new kid on the block and she’s running out of steam. Mommy martyrdom is rife in today’s world, but is it really helpful? Spoiler alert -it’s not, and I am pretty vocal on the podcast as to why this practice needs to stop. Really the crux of my mission with the podcast is to create a platform where I'm able to show up for you and provide you as much support as I can, and help you feel seen and heard. One big topic is mommy martyrdom - a mindset where we are where one believes that self-sacrificing is so necessary, and it is expected. In today’s episode, I talk about why mommy martyrdom is a hoax. I share the power of showing up for yourself first in order to help others, why boundaries matter, and why your identity is more than just being a mom. In this episode, we cover:

What is mommy martyrdom [2:35]
Prioritize yourself first [6:41]
You have the power to make the change [16:32]
A loving relationship with yourself means a loving relationship with your kids [22:47]
Motherhood is changing and gives more space for you to have an identity outside of being a mom [31:45]
Working mom or stay at home - you all matter [37:11]
The paradox of motherhood and how to fix it [41:36]

32. Multitasking Mom is NOT the Name of a Superhero!

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 10:00:55 -0000

When I think about a typical mom, I picture a woman running out the door, her hair in a bun, she's got a kid on a hip, four bags in her hand, she probably has earbuds in, and she's doing 35 things at once. And guess what? She's getting it all done. Amazing right? Yes! But is this multitasking supermom really sustainable? In today’s episode, I talk about why being a multitasking mom is not a desirable superhero trait. I share all the reasons why you need to reevaluate being a multitasking mom because in the long run it’s not realistic to ask that of ourselves, it's not helpful in the long run, it's really not sustainable and it’s not the example we want to set for our kids. In this episode, we cover:

Being a multi-tasking supermom isn’t fun [0:48]
Multitasking moms are just layering everyone's stuff on top of their own [6:46]
This new normal isn’t actually optimal [12:24]
We are capable of multitasking but we need to put boundaries around it [16:50]
You might be missing out on the important needs of your family [20:32]
Multitasking is not an easy habit to break but you need to prioritize [24:40]

In today’s episode, I talk about how to handle your child’s puberty journey and how to best support your child as they go through this intense journey. I share why it’s important not to make the puberty journey about you the parent, how these new experiences can be frightening to your child, why you need to be transparent with your child about their changing bodies, and why your role is to be supportive at the end of the day. In this episode, we cover:

Dealing with puberty [2:50]
Your child is dealing with changes and confusion and fear is natural [7:58]

30. The Participation Trophy & How It Works (or doesn't)!

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:00:52 -0000

You are in the driver’s seat of your life and that means you need to lead the way. Now it can be tough as moms, especially, since we have a million and one things to do and not enough time to do any of it. How can we possibly sit in the driver’s seat of our own life when we have to help everyone else in their own life - especially our children? In today’s episode, I talk about the infamous participation trophy when it comes to children. Bottom line is that your child’s life is on them and they are the one that makes decisions every single day. And the harsh truth is that no one really cares about your except for you and obviously.

28. De-cluttering and Why It’s the Best Self-Care!

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Marie Kondo sparked a global movement for a reason! There is something not only helpful but incredibly cathartic about decluttering. Decluttering doesn’t even have to be physical items, it can also mean clearing up whatever junk we have occupying precious mental real estate. As moms, we have a lot on our plate including caring for the household, our partner’s needs, our children’s needs, professional ambitions, and finally ourselves. If reading that sentence tired you out, you’re not alone. It is tiring to do all of this, and despite being supermoms, decluttering is imperative, and honestly is an act of self-care! In today’s episode, I am talking about the power of decluttering your physical environment and your mindset. I share the best tips for decluttering, why physical objects should not have power over you, and the power a decluttered space has on your mind. In this episode, we cover:

Decluttering is spring cleaning for the mind soul and body [2:52]
Start doing it now, don’t save it for later [8:09]
Do not give physical objects all the power [13:34]
Prioritize decluttering your space and time [18:59]
Make a weekly recurring ritual for self-care [28:32]
Clear your mental real estate [35:05]

Remember when we were in our early 20s and we could pull 3 back to back all-nighters and make time for weekend shenanigans, only to repeat the whole cycle all over again? Oh to be young and full of infinite energy. Fast forward some odd years later and energy is the last thing most of us mama’s can even think of let alone even dream of pulling an all-nighter.

25. I Let My Daughter Pierce Her Nose, Here's Why!

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 10:00:39 -0000

Earlier this March my baby girl turned 15 and with this came the opportunity to pierce her nose. Yes, I let my daughter pierce her nose. Honestly, I thought she’d outgrow this request but she was very adamant and continued to advocate for the piercing and ultimately I gave in. On our drive up I started to realize, like many mamas out there, that my baby is growing up. I could either stop her and resist this growth or I could just enjoy the journey. Guess which path works out better? In today’s episode, I am talking about accepting that our kids are going to grow up. I discuss how we as parents need to give them space and guidance as they test their boundaries, know that our job description changes as our kids change, and accept that our kids are going to make mistakes but we have to let them know we are going to be there for them no matter what. In this episode, we cover:

Our kids are growing into their own skin [2:14]
As parents, we need to give our kids grace and space [5:35]
Kids are testing their boundaries, you have to guide them but allow them to also make their own choice [10:58]
At the end of the day, kids are going to do what they want [16:06]
The job description of mom changes as the kid changes kids [20:28]
You have to adjust your parenting rules and have that ongoing discussion [29:25]
We need to support our kids and know they are trying their best [34:04]
Your kids are going to mess up and that’s okay [39:19]

22. How I got here!

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 11:00:02 -0000

Anything that you want to make happen in your life is a choice. You can choose to take the trip, you can choose to stay home, you can choose to attend the party and accept the invitation, you can choose to say no, you can choose to adopt a new habit, or you can choose to stay exactly where you are. It goes the same for everything and anything in life. Where you are right now at this exact moment is a combination of your upbringing, the things that happen that you have no control over, and the choices that you've made. Essentially any new habits, any new choices, and any new changes that you want to make are possible but you have to make space for it. In today’s episode, I want to share why I believe we all have choices, even as mamas, and more specifically I want to talk about my own choices! I discuss how all your choices have a ripple effect, how I decided to show up in the world on my own terms and conditions, why striking a balance was so important to me and why I was the best investment I could make for myself. In this episode, we cover:

Your choices have lead you to where you are today [3:12]
All your choices have a ripple effect [8:15]
I am just a regular mama (trust me) [12:14]
My working and academic background, and the desire to strike a balance [17:58]
I chose to invest in my potential [25:15]
Why not waiting was the best thing to do [32:02]
Reconnecting with myself allowed me to show up for others [39:43]

21. You Know What You Need to Do but You Won't!

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 11:00:10 -0000

Anytime you have a new thing to do, whether that’s a new start of a new school year, or a new phase with your kid or a new job or a new home, any new adjustment in life, there's always a transition phase where you figure things out and try to balance it all. This period of change can be hard, but you just have to figure out how to manage your time and shift your mindset. But what happens when you don’t even know where to begin or you feel like you just can’t adapt to the change? In today’s episode, I talk about the adjustment period that happens right before something new takes place in your life. I explain why change isn’t easy but it has to happen, why you need to figure out what you want to in that moment in order to overcome obstacles, and why being tired is a perfectly valid excuse when it comes to struggling with change. In this episode, we cover:

The thrill and stress of the adjustment periods in life [3:25]
Change isn’t easy [7:02]
Having the right mindset to make and sustain change [12:12]
Common mommy mindsets you might be adopting [17:25]
You cannot overcome change alone (even if you think you can!) [22:45]
Why being too tired is a valid excuse [30:04]
A positive mindset is not a magic wand [35:50]

20. What's the Rush?

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 11:00:20 -0000

What is the rush? I'm serious. Why are you rushing today and where are you rushing to? Even if you're listening to this podcast right now, I know you're probably doing one, two, maybe three other things at the same time. I see you, Mama, you know why? I am the exact same way. I'm always rushing minute to minute to minute, but I want to ask us why. What's the rush? We're not on some deadline and there's nobody clocking us or keeping scorekeeping pace, right. Really the only race we’re in is the one against ourselves and let me tell you, this race is not worth it. In today’s episode, I talk about how this personal rat race is not going to benefit us in the long run. I speak on why doing a million things at once actually puts you at risk for not being a safe mom, rethinking what busy actually looks like, you actually have more control over your time than you think and why joyful should be the default not stressful. In this episode, we cover:

What are we rushing for? [2:10]
A rushed mom is not a safe mom or a sane mom [7:56]
Rethinking what busy, rushed, and accomplished looks like [12:59]
We do have more control over the moments in our day than we want to admit to ourselves. [21:25]
Making each moment connected, present and thoughtful [30:59]
Break the either-or mentality in your head [38:01]

19. Joy Called Shotgun!

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 11:00:41 -0000

It can be easy to push aside our thoughts and table them for another day. Better yet as a mom we can completely ignore them and pretend they don’t exist right? Wrong. Because while it may seem easy at first, sooner or later those emotions are going to catch up to you, and you're going to have to have an honest conversation about them and your feelings. In today’s episode, I talk about how we can use every single feeling that we have running through us to help us in everything that we are doing. I share why it’s time to make sure that joy calls shotgun - that means joy comes first! I speak on why our emotions all have a positive purpose, the mindset you need to adopt when it comes to emotions and how our joy makes us a better parents to our kids. In this episode, we cover:

Joy calls shotgun! [4:11] (quote by @lenahaill)
When we open up our eyes and ears to our feelings, we learn a whole lot about ourselves [8:26]
How to shift our mindset when it comes to analyzing our emotions [15:12]
When we dial up our joy, we can dial up our kids joy and this is how you can do it [19:41]
The thoughts that you have on repeat are just habits, they are not the truth [24:44]
Our desires keep us alive! [29:32]

18. Leave Your Ego at the Door!

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 11:00:16 -0000

Being a mom does not require your ego. What is actually required is your heart. As a parent, it is our love, our loyalty, our support, our trust, and our confidence in our kiddos that matters most. Raising children is about reminding them that we think they're phenomenal - that is what we owe them and nothing else. When we allow ego to be an influence on how we're parenting, we focus less on helping them become the best version of them and instead prioritize them being a mini version of us- and let me tell you, that doesn't ever work out. In today’s episode, I talk about ego and what ego does when we're trying to raise our kids. The mom + ego + raising kids is an equation we must discuss, and we have to pay attention to it. I discuss why your kids have their own identities, why your job is to trust them so they can learn to trust themselves, and how you can actually learn a lot from your kids when you let your ego go. In this episode, we cover:

Ego has no place in the parenting equation [0:53]
Our kids are forming their own identity that started the moment they were born [6:51]
Your job is to appreciate and support your kids [11:47]
What your kids don’t need and what you’re doing wrong when you’re parenting [20:24]
When you trust your kids, they learn to trust themselves [29:06]
Cultivate a space for your kids to let their own dreams and curiosities shine [36:20]
What would happen if you stepped back a bit from hands-on parenting? [43:01]

17. May You Be Happy

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 11:00:00 -0000

I have attempted meditation a few times before in my life, but I always ended up quitting because honestly, I wasn't really ready and open to it, so it was hard to commit, making quitting was easy. I have embarked on this rinse and repeat cycle for many things, because I just never felt ready to commit to anything more and I have naturally felt the burden of life's stresses that have impacted my own energy. But now, I have reached a point in my life where things like mediation matter to me, therefore I'm making time for it. In today’s episode, I discuss why we make time for what matters to us, but it’s just about figuring out what that thing is. I speak on my experience with meditation and how it has transformed my life. Stress can never go away but you can create habits that bring you joy and a sense of feeling centered and why you need to exercise your habit muscles! In this episode, we cover:

We make time for what matters for us, and how mediation has changed my life [2:41]
You can’t completely avoid stress but you can practice habits that help you recover from stress [8:32]
Judgment, finger pointing, and online trolls have their impact [14:11]
Kindness meditation has transformed my life and it’ll transform yours [21:02]
We have become so comfortable with stress that it is now part of our identity as a mom [28:01]
You deserve an environment of peace and so do your children [35:51]

13. It's Time to Be Selfish, You Willing?

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 11:00:00 -0000

When was the last time you stopped to consider your own needs without worrying about someone else? I bet I know the answer, and it's precisely why I'm sitting here on the floor in my makeshift podcast studio to talk about this important subject. As a mom, it can be hard to even consider putting your needs first because it almost sounds selfish, but I want to change this mindset in you and me (because I struggle with it too). In today’s episode, I’m sharing the reasons why you need to take a moment to put yourself first. I explain how when you neglect your own needs you’re sending a signal that you value yourself less, and why if you don’t share what you’re feeling no one is going to understand because they cannot read your mind. Being a selfish mom is the best thing you can do for yourself and your kids to be the best mom ever, and in this episode, I explain why it matters and what you can do! In this episode, we cover:

When was the last time you put yourself first? [0:50]
Neglecting your needs means you value yourself less, but self-love is rewarding [4:42]
It’s okay if you don’t know what to do with your free time it takes time to get comfortable with relearning what you love [13:45]
The day you become a selfish mom is the day you become a better mom. Here’s what you need to do [22:56]
Feeling sorry for yourself isn’t the best way to get the attention and validation you seek [31:29]
If you don't share what you're feeling, no one will understand they cannot read your mind [38:44]

12. Sorry, Not Sorry!

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 11:00:00 -0000

It’s second nature to apologize, whether we bump into someone on the street or we hurt a loved one unintentionally. As women especially we tend to say sorry more than our male counterparts, in fact, according to a psychological study conducted in 2011, women apologize more than men only because what men consider as “offensive” varies drastically from women. In other words, we as women feel the need to apologize for every little thing because we think we owe an apology, not necessarily because we want to apologize. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the reasons why you need to stop needlessly apologizing. Listen a genuine apology is important and necessary, but it’s when it becomes part of your daily vocabulary that it needs to change. I explain what got me thinking about this “sorry” phenomenon, especially as moms, why you don’t always need to say sorry, and how as mom’s we feel the need to tread lightly and deflect tension by just saying sorry. I get real in this podcast and you know what? Sorry, not sorry! In this episode, we cover:

Sorry is just part of our vocab but you don’t need to apologize [1:03]
Mom’s apologize for things that we want when we should accept that we want and need things [7:39]
It can be annoying when you say sorry too much [15:59]
Do you know when you need to apologize? [21:28]
Over apologizing is an act of self-sabotage and justifies our limiting beliefs [28:24]
Be self-aware of when you’re apologizing [35:22]

While you might feel like stress is just part of the package, in reality, it does not help at all. What stress ultimately ends up doing is working against us rather than working with us. I talk about how we can help manage our stress, be better prepared for it, and how we can not dread this whole holiday season. In this episode, we cover:

Self-care is the key to managing stress [5:37]
Holiday stress + mom stress is a recipe for disaster [9:50]
You deserve your ideal holiday scene you just need to believe that you deserve it [14:26]
Start setting, establishing and communicating your boundaries and limits [18:08]
You are not responsible for managing everything and everyone [21:55]
This holiday is not about obligations, it is about enjoyment and enjoyment starts with you [26:11]
You have a responsibility to manage stress, don’t let the minor details overwhelm you and take away from the actual joy of being present with your family [31:24]

10. My Kid Messed up, Now What?

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:00:00 -0000

Mistakes make us human, right? Yet for some reason, it seems much worse when our kids make a mistake, maybe because we think their mistakes are a reflection of our parenting. Kids are just like us, they're humans and they're trying to see what works in this crazy life that they're living. They're trying to figure out what doesn't feel good and what does feel good. As a mom It's okay to not think that your kids are acting perfectly all the time because you know they are human, they have mood swings, and they are unpredictable. In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to handle your children’s mistakes, especially when they messed up big time. I discuss how the best thing you can do for your child (even when they mess up), is to help them process the new emotions they are experiencing. In this episode, we cover:

All the emotions you feel when your kid messes up are the same emotions they will feel [2:57]
The new emotions kids will experience as they grow up can be difficult. As a mom you can help them process their emotions. [8:08]
Society’s many labels for kids - are they helpful or problematic? [19:32]
Being responsive to the situation not reactive when it comes to meltdowns and tantrums [28:30]
Pick your battles and choose what is really important to hold them accountable [34:01]

9. How Not to Lose Your Shit

Tue, 23 Nov 2021 12:00:00 -0000

The holidays are coming, and while it is supposed to be a joyful time of year, it is also that time of year that is the most stressful. Planning for the holidays means you have to factor in all your mom duties and add all the holiday duties on top of it. While you may be a supermom, it’s pretty easy to lose your cool and freak out during this time of year (we’ve all been there). In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to keep your cool and not lose your mind during the holiday season, and during all the other times of the year. I share why mom rage happens and how to set boundaries and voice what you need to feel supported. There’s no shame in losing your cool but there are better ways of handling it so that everyone feels heard, supported and loved. In this episode, we cover:

How to deal with triggers, not feel attacked and not lose your cool during some challenging moments. Why does mom rage happen? [3:53]
Acknowledging mom rage means that you’re able to handle it better the next time a situation arises [13:10]
Take care of yourself by setting boundaries that prioritize yourself and your own care [18:36]
How to prioritize self care when you feel there aren’t enough minutes in the day [22:46]
Setting boundaries and expectations for the whole family to ensure the whole environment is healthy and moves smoothly [29:31]
Try to see and hear yourself from the perspective of your kids. Are you effectively communicating how you truly feel so that you are able to understand each other? [33:16]

8. Life Happens Through You

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 11:00:00 -0000

Have you ever found yourself wishing that the universe would stop having it out for you, and would start working with you? What happens if I told you that this wishful thinking isn't going to solve anything. Instead, you need to understand that life happens through you, not to you. Let that phrase sink in for a moment. What happens when you take the time to fully understand that? Because what this phrase really means is life is happening in response to you, because of you. When you make that little word switch you shift from having a victim’s mindset to one where you understand that you have control over most of the situations in your life. In today’s episode, I’m talking about why having a victim’s mindset when it comes to life is not going to serve you. When you have a victim mentality, you feel that things are happening to you, no matter what you do and the universe is literally purposely working against you, when in reality that is not true! I share how you can overcome this mindset, deal with rejection, and how your approach to life impacts your children’s behavior and mindset. In this episode, we cover:

Life is happening through you, not to you [1:36]
Why seeking outward validation won’t help to deal with rejection, and what you should really do instead [6:11]
How the victim mentality mindset can impact your kids [11:07]
It is important to let go of this notion of perfection in all aspects of your life, including motherhood [23:25]
All the decisions that you make, the actions you take, the behaviors you mimic, the beliefs you hold on to are all causing the life you’re experiencing at this moment [28:55]
It’s time to imagine yourself in a world where you are enough and you are capable [35:59]

7. Perfection Ain't Happening so Stop Trying!

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 11:00:00 -0000

There’s no such thing as perfect, so why do we constantly feel like it’s something we need to strive for and achieve? It’s almost insidious how we believe we have to be perfect, and as mom’s that pressure only doubles. But let’s be real, especially as we move into the holiday season, can you actually be the perfect supermom? I am sorry to break it to you, mama, it just ain’t possible. In today’s episode, I’m talking about why perfection ain’t going to happen so you have to stop trying. That doesn’t mean giving up altogether, it just means you need to give yourself some grace and space! I cover how you stop celebrating the unique gifts you have, you forget your own superpowers and wins, and how you’ll always be in a state of comparison if you continue to aim for perfection. This time around, instead of aiming for perfection, ask yourself how you can show up for others and for your own self in the most authentic manner possible. Remember the world needs your uniqueness and your specialness! In this episode, we cover:

It’s time to admit it - perfection is not possible and the more you aim for it, you start to miss out on the unique gifts you have within [1:25]
Perfectionism prevents us from showing up as our most authentic selves [4:58]
If your goal is perfection you are setting yourself up for failure [9:32]
Downplaying our accomplishments because they don’t feel “special” or “unique ”[13:08]
Strive for excellence, not perfection. Excellence gives your permission to stay curious, to evolve, and to be okay with failure - even when it comes to motherhood [17:46]
As a mom when you allow room for error, you are teaching your children that they can make mistakes as well. Being perfect robs us of so many things and holds us back from achieving more [26:01]
How to start moving forward away from the perfectionist narrative [31:03]

6. Stop Giving FOMO All The Power

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 11:00:00 -0000

It’s nearly the weekend and you have what seems like a million social obligations coming up that all overlap. In hindsight, you overbooked yourself but you didn’t want to miss out but now you’re mentally rearranging your calendar to make things work. I hear you mama, FOMO is real, and it’s not new - whether you’re a mom or not as humans it is totally normal to feel jealous, envious, or even fearful of not being part of a social message. In today’s episode, I’m talking about FOMO - fear of missing out. What is it, where does it stem from and why do we constantly feel like if we say no or if we opt out we’re going to miss out on some life-changing event or not be like other moms? I cover how these perceptions can lead to thoughts of uneasiness and stress which in the long term won’t benefit you. As moms we already go through so much, we don’t need to fall for these false beliefs that we are missing out on anything. In this episode, we cover:

What is FOMO and why does it stress you out so much? [1:24]
Jealousy comes from feeling unsafe, insecure and rejected [5:07]
Social media is fuel to the FOMO fire - what impact does it have on moms? [7:59]
We’re projecting our insecurities and teaching our kids that FOMO is okay [15:53]
Why FOMO has way more power than it deserves and downplaying the power of being a mom [21:36]
Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter. It’s time to be proud of you [26:15]

5. Why Elle Woods & I are BFFs

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 18:30:58 -0000

In this episode you’ll hear:

How self-care has taken a back seat once her professional life got busy. However, she explains how she realized self-care should not be an occasional indulgence but a lifestyle we practice and what she’s doing to bring it back (0:47)
The importance of working out on our mental health and cognitive capacities. You might not think this, but Elle Woods is the perfect example of living happily, confidently, and unapologetically. (4:11)
How Scottie used to be a long-distance runner and how this cathartic act made her feel. While she is unable to do it now, she shares ways she finds a physical connection with herself and why it’s important not only for yourself but as a mom as well (8:41)
Why exercise should be as common and habitual in your life as brushing your teeth. As a mom, it feels easier to find valid excuses to not work out, but it shouldn’t be an excuse to avoid self-care altogether (13:22)
You can find the many mom reasons to not work out, but Scottie reminds you why you have to start appreciating and taking care of the body you have now. Prioritizing your physical health is a non-negotiable (19:12)
Setting up a physical health routine is the best way to set a great example for your own family and kids. It demonstrates that you have boundaries and respect for yourself and in turn, they realize that they to can have their own boundaries and care for themselves. This creates an environment of mutual respect where everyone is happy and healthy (23:40)
Life is too short, you are too much in demand and you are too special to be living unhealthily. You need to take back your life, stop projecting, and stop blaming others for you not making yourself a real priority. There is so much benefit to working out and prioritizing self care (28:33)

4. Badge of Exhaustion

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:00:00 -0000

In this episode you’ll hear:

Scottie talks about something near and dear to her heart - the incredible moms out there that function on autopilot. Speaking from experience Scottie shares how this “badge of exhaustion” is not something to brag about and why we need to rethink this approach. Boasting about who is more tired, exhausted, and busy isn’t really the type of competition you want to be part of, but why do we feel the need to compete? (1:28)
You cannot be a functional human being, let alone a good mom, on lack of sleep. Scottie talks about how things like technology, constant streaming and even being “on” and available 24/7 is what is leading to this epidemic of sleep deprivation (5:35)
Competing with our friends is a major reason why we, as moms, tend to overschedule ourselves with the mindset that we are living fulfilled lives (10:26)
As new moms, and even as experienced moms, we throw things to the wall hoping that they stick but completely overlooking how anything affects us emotionally or physically. Scottie shares a personal anecdote of being a new mom and being told when things would be “worth it” (15:35)
Instead of trying to prove to somebody that you're a great mom because of how tired you are, we should be figuring out how can we still crush motherhood thing and take care of ourselves at the same time (19:54)
You can choose to change your life, readjust your schedule, and prioritize sleep because it is a basic life necessity. Scottie shares why this lifestyle change is imperative to not only being a good mom but a healthy and happy person. She explains why sleep deprivation is more dangerous than we think (23:29)

3. Mommy Martyrdom is Over!

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 16:35:45 -0000

In this episode you’ll hear: Scottie talks about Mommy Martyrdom, an endemic that impacts moms all over! She shares why it’s problematic and how it negatively impacts your ability to be a good mom (0:50)
Societal norms around motherhood focus on mothers being selfless, but this means there is an expectation for a mom to sacrifice her own needs, desires, and even health for the sake of “being a good mom.” Scottie shares her thoughts about Mommy Martyrdom and her own experiences of being a mom (3:57)
We are human and we form our own opinions which is normal until these opinions pass off as judgment calls. Scottie discusses how judgment (both internal and external) play into the Mommy Martyrdom complex and her own experiences with comparison and this desire to be “perfect” (7:05)
Why do we feel the need to judge other moms for the same experiences we’ve been through or are going through? Scottie shares the different ways mom judgment can pop up in day to day life (11:51)
To be the very best mom you can be we end up torturing ourselves in the name of motherhood and as a form of competition with other moms. Scottie talks about this supermom complex and why is self-sacrificing equated with good motherhood? (18:32)
Rather than judging other moms, Scottie makes a point about how we should actually learn from other moms and their experiences (25:15)
Why Mommy Martyrdom is actually an active choice rather than a forced obligation (29:25)

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 16:33:21 -0000

In this episode you’ll hear:

After having a glass of milk spill into her lap on a long-haul flight by her daughter, Scottie explains how motherhood changes you. You go from being a single individual to an individual who has to care for and adapt to others. Scottie shares her thoughts about this gradual evolution from the “old” her to the current person she is as a mom today (5:34)
These transformations can happen really quickly, and oftentimes as moms, we begin to neglect our own selves.

Motherhood is difficult, and often you end up living in auto-pilot mode. Scottie discusses why she made the decision to live more mindfully as a mom and how it helps her as she navigates a new chapter in her life as a person and as a mom (27:57)

Scottie gets candid and explains how for a long time she was neglecting herself, and her own needs, dedicating herself entirely to her children. While her family is the most important thing in the world to her, over time Scottie realized she was becoming a serial people pleaser and this was starting to impact her negatively. She explains the catalyst that brought her to this realization (4:53)
After dedicating her life to her kids, Scottie explains how the pandemic forced her to face her own self as an individual. Deep down she’d lost herself, and she knows this is common amongst many moms! She discusses how she got out of this rut and why it is important to be a person, outside of being a mom (9:15)
