Get Your Shift Together

Do you wish that your partner would do everything with you -- be there for your needs, your wants, your dreams, desires... Wouldn't it just be so nice and convenient if you could have your cheerleader with you, cheering you on and supporting you through all the things in life. You'd travel together, eat together, watch movies and read together, laugh together, cry together, breathe togethe...

Of course knowing what we want sometimes is fuckin hard. What if you NEVER ever had the opportunity or were ever asked, "What do you want?" OR maybe you've been asked and you get so overwhelmed by the question because it's one you've never had to think about.  In this episode, I talk about slowing down enough to figure out what we want so that we can ASK for what we need in relation to those...

Mom rage is real. Most moms have experienced it in their lives... the out of body experience of intense, explosive anger that isn't quite anger but something MORE than that. The primal noises, the shouting, the outbursts at the slightest provocations.  Feeling shame and guilt after is often quite common. Like "whoa, who was that just now... I can't believe I [insert a horrible thing you did h...

You ever feel like you're doing all the things so your mind just gets jumbled with all these thoughts racing faster than the speed of light?

Do you make room to allow yourself to just be? When we take on a healing journey, the number one tip I have for anyone taking that journey: INTEGRATE.  Integration is the piece that ensures the sustainability of all the work and progress made towards any kind of achievement. And the reason why that’s important is because our whole life doesn’t simply come down to the things we did — after all...

The greatest lie we've been told is that there isn't enough love to go around. We begin looking for love wherever we can get it which typically is outside of ourselves. You may long for more because you think what you have isn't enough, but what if you've been misled? There must be more to this than what I’ve accepted. There must be more to life and love. Have you heard these phrases? Yes, there i...

I came out in my marriage as first queer, and then recently bisexual, and I have never felt more free. I thought that by putting labels on what or who I am, it would confine me or put me in a box, but I was so wrong. I feel liberated. I'm a queer, bisexual, homeschooling, adhd, nerodivergent momma, and I've never felt more free about calling myself all these things ever.  Follow me on socials:  ww...

Boundaries has become a bit of a buzz word in the self development world, but they are necessary to uplevel your relationships to yourself and others because essentially, you won't have all your energy leaking from you! Think of boundaries as patching up the holes in a cup so that when you fill your cup, it stays filled. You're able to poor from a full cup, and you feel good doing it rather than w...

The core beliefs I received growing up was that I was not good enough. I was not smart, I was not innovative, I was not creative, and while I wasn't necessarily TOLD these things, it didn't stop me from receiving these messages through body language and actions of my caregivers or teachers. I share some of the things in my life that are pointing me in the direction of noticing that I may have ADHD...

I talk about why I think I have ADHD, how that might be a very beautiful thing. 

Some honest story telling about what's been happening in this season of life. Single mom life while daddy's away for work, the house going to shit, the kids running a muck. Also, the book recommendation I have for this episode is How to Keep House while Drowning by K C Davis. She also has a Ted Talk on how to do your laundry while depressed which was really awesome.  While, I'm at it I'm thin...

Distractions are not a bad thing, and you're not a horrible human being when you distract yourself. What are you distracted from?! To lose traction means you have to have gained traction -- so what are you losing traction on, and maybe that's not such a bad thing. Losing traction on your commitment to fighting? NOT A BAD THING. Losing traction on violent communication. NOT A BAD THING!  So wh...

Key Points Power struggles occur when we are battling for power in our relationships.  Power struggles can stem from unresolved childhood memories or events about being powerless.  Getting empowered in your relationship helps to restore balance of power.  When you claim your power, you no longer need to demonstrate your power in relationship.  Claiming our power helps us to see...
