The Tuned-In Mom Show (formerly The Inspired Weekly Podcast)

Maybe you’ve heard this before but it’s powerful when you write things down. Just the simple act alone makes a dream more than a thought or an idea, it becomes a reality. It’s like transferring all of those thoughts, ideas, and actions to store them on something more permanent. In a notebook, you can refer back to. Or a recording you can listen to when you need to remember something from that podc...

Uniting women as one---to collaborate, to share, and to learn from each other. We all have lived separate lives---but the more we talk---the more I realize how similar we are than different. Especially working moms, who I built this community around. A place where every momma has a seat at the table, she feels safe to share what’s on her heart, and she can learn to build a business that thrives.

Our brains believe us. And it’s our thoughts like that, that cause the unnecessary pain and suffering. Because we know that our brain will give us evidence to back up all of those thoughts and it goes on believing they’re true. The brain loves being right my friend! So one little thought you have about what should be different, becomes a downward spiral of all the things in your life that haven’t...

I believe that how we spend our days IS how we spend our lives. This means that each and every little thing we do, no matter how long it takes us, will have a direct impact on how our life feels going forward. So often we feel like we’re just crossing out another thing on our list, and life is just zooming past. Maybe we don’t realize how much of our time is being spent planning too much for the f...

I don’t know why I never thought about this alternative before now, but my family and I started implementing this in our night time routine over a year ago! It’s something that just stuck with us. It’s been an amazing tradition for when we tuck our son into bed. We each go around and ask “what was the highlight of your day?  And it really gives us insight on each other’s daily life. I think b...

We all have the power to choose our thoughts on purpose and with intention in order to create a life that feels better.  We get to decide what to think and believe based on what our brain offers to us, and how we allow those thoughts to shape our life experience. In other words, what it means to be human. Which we know, encompasses feeling everything from happiness and joy to sadness and hear...

Because it hurts to hurt. It hurts to let go of someone. But it hurts more to hold onto feelings that no longer serve us.  It’s not a good feeling that I’m just going through the motions each day and life is passing me by.  No, not at all. When we move into forgiveness, it brings us back to the present moment. Allows us to focus on what’s happening right in front of us. And I read a quot...

It isn’t getting the degree, expensive car, a bigger house, or what the number on the scale says. What it comes down to is really how much we know, like, and trust ourselves to get to the next destination on our journey. That’s part of how we grow. Maybe you’ve heard of know like, and, trust factor as a marketing strategy, but... What if we see that in a whole new light? Because... It’s important...

It’s never too late. You can always take an opportunity to reflect on the past year, of where and who you’ve been,  where you are going, and who you are becoming. As we move forward into the last quarter of the year, it’s only natural to want to think about what’s coming next in our lives, and how we want to live differently.

I feel like this year we've been collectively holding on, anticipating what’s to come. I hear so many of you talking, that it feels like you’ve been in the same spot for months, and that you should be making more progress. Tired of going through the motions every day, checking off the to-do list, and seemingly going nowhere---even though you want to move forward in life. And the biggest challenge...

Circumstances happen in the blink of an eye, totally out of our control. And we’re left wishing it was easier than it is. And that there must be another way. Why does change have to be so hard, we wonder? 

In previous shows, I mentioned that thoughts create our feelings, feelings influence the action we take or don’t take, and the action produces the result. Todd Kashdan of George Mason University says, “What we know from science is that our greatest regrets don’t come from trying, and failing, but not approaching at all. That inaction bothers us more.” In other words, it’s much better to come from...

So many of us get stressed out thinking of the unknown, of the future.

Not a single one of us is the same as we were yesterday. And that is the best news. Who we are today---isn’t who we’ll be tomorrow. We are constantly evolving, changing, progressing, and growing into who we will become. Something so very powerful happens when we can see that all of our life experiences, mistakes, events, and all the things we’ve been through have shaped us into who we are right no...

I want you to think for a second how it makes you feel---or what comes up for you when I mention the idea of saying no. Kinda cringy, maybe? OR Oh, gosh, I could never! Just know that you are not alone. In our never-ending pursuit to make everyone around us happy, we say yes to so many, but we forget to say yes to ourselves. We fail to see just how life-changing saying no can be. Today, I want to...

When was the last time you reconnected and recharged when you had no energy left to give? How often do you face exhaustion in your day? One of the main benefits of creating enough white space in our day’s help with just that. We can disconnect and unplug from what’s going on outside of us. And reconnect and recharge with our inside world. The true you. Your heart, mind, and body. It’s no wonder we...

Today, we are going to briefly discuss the benefits and go into more detail the different ways of creating white space and margin in our days. More breathing room for the moments that matter. Live with less overwhelm and understand that meeting ourselves where we are now---is important. Not only for the wellbeing of ourselves but to our family.

Life shifted in many ways as a result of the pandemic.  It may have been five months ago we thought the situation would be temporary. But we all know it’s still so fresh and prevalent in our daily lives. So, how do we work on our business, school at home, and resume normal day-to-day things? Well, first off it isn’t going to be the same ole’ same ole’. What it looks like for me may not be wha...

We need to stop believing the thoughts that we have to get it all done, and there’s too much to do and too little time to do it.

It’s interesting how our past can influence present-day decisions. Which is why thought work is soooo important. Without understanding why we think what we think. And feel what we feel---our self-doubt will always paralyze us. And we stay right where we are because we are too uncomfortable. But, that’s fear, my friend. While yes, fear is valuable and has its place in certain situations. It also li...

We’re taught from a young age that negative feelings and emotions are bad. That we are supposed to push them aside. That happiness is a way of life and it’s normal. That she looks happy over there in her life, so why not try it on for ourselves. The billionaire over here seems happy with his job, so maybe I’ll see what happens. I believe this to be partly true. In our culture, whether we read a se...

Living intentionally is knowing how we intend to live and doing it with purpose.  We live in a world that is constantly pushing us to do more and have more---hurry to do this and be busy or we aren’t viewed as successful. We live our lives focused on the “should’s” or “have to’s” instead of what matters to us the most. When we take a deeper look into how we live every day, we need to ask ours...

It’s an auto-response. We were taught at an early age. I’m sure we can all remember this from our first English classes, that “I’m good” is a courteous way to answer the question, “How are you?”  These words are a part of us that is preprogrammed. It's like being on auto-pilot---we don’t have to think about it long, we almost always say it instantly. What this “polite'' response does though,...

One thing I find empowering is to know why you do things, being curious about why you have certain thoughts, recognize your triggers, and then have clarity about what’s going on in your heart and mind. I came to terms with the fact that it’s okay to be in a still learning space. To not be perfect. To not have all the answers. To not worry so much about how the past or future will affect me. And le...
