Emotionally Uncomfortable

Point: FINE is not ok.  It's just. Stop trying to justify it. You were created for more. Stop avoiding your soul's signs that something needs to change.    Point: Stop hitting your inner snooze alarm.  Use activation energy to get yourself moving. You're going to need to do it eventually so why not now?    Point: Your brain has two sides: auto pilot & emergency break. Learn how to use them.  Liste...

  POINT: Go where you feel GOOD (where you feel ALIVE).  If you don't feel welcome somewhere, leave and don't return. Find the people that make you feel good and find more of them. We all have our people. Where are yours?    It's a deep rooted human need to be in connection with others.    POINT: Create what you want to be a part of.  If it's not out their and you want it. Create it. That's what I...

Point: Don’t settle for good, achieve greatness.  Happiness comes when we are diving into our soul desires. Good is average, greatness is becoming who you were born to become.    Point: Become what you most desire your children to be.    We can not expect anything from others, if we are not willing to do it ourselves. Period.      Point: Have hard conversations.    This is where the magic happens....

Take one small step to feel more in control of how you want to show up everyda...

Today is a very special topic. As a coach and former Social Worker I've seen and witnessed many miracles happen with women and families all around the world.  But their is one trend that I've started to notice.  Change doesn't happen unless you believe it's possible and change won't happen unless you think you're worthy of change.  This is a big problem because for so many who are struggling to ma...

022: If you’re not controlling your time, time will control you.    Today on the podcast I’ve listed things to do NOW that will allow you to feel in control of your time. I'm starting here because we both know if YOU feel out of control -- you won't be able to be present to support your children's needs or creating the life you want.  Step 1: Get clear on how you want to feel on a daily basis. Ste...

I'm struggling to hit 'send' on this episode.  Today is a very unique podcast episode. I actually debated on if I should share it. Giving a voice to this experience made me realize it impacted me more than I realized. Listen to the latest Mom Is In Control podcast episode here. In this episode I discuss: * My journey though training and running my first marathon race. * Why this training made me a...

  Today on the podcast I’m talking about fear.    We all have it, so how do we control it?    How can we co create the life we DO want, while living with fear?  How can we teach and support our children through their big emotions as well?    This is a near and dear subject my heart because I witness so many children who struggle greatly with fear, anxiety and overwhelm that are not being taught ho...

I have officially turned on the ‘explicit’ label on all my podcasts. This was inspired by Karen Osburn and her new podcast Women Wanting More. Click it out here.    Those who know me, know my biggest pet peeve is lying and BS. I can’t stand it. I can smell it a mile away. I crave real, raw and honest conversations  with real humans beings. Vulnerability is the way I like to live myself.    If you’...

    We are celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving over here. Unfortunately mine includes a head cold. Which means cooking with a cold. Don’t be jealous :)    On today’s podcast episode I interview Kiva Leatherman from the WISE Women Network. I love Kiva’s real deal perspective on life, business and parenting so I wanted to ask her a few questions about what it’s like to go for you want AND be a conscio...

017: Did the school call you today?    Not too many people talk about parenting as a spiritual practice - let alone how we grow as individuals once our children start school.    I mean that seems to be when the ‘real world’ problems come to life, right?    What do you do when your child has severe social anxiety?    What do you do if your child has low self esteem and/or bullied?    What if you’re...

  So…. for the first time ever on the podcast I’m talking about how I shift my energy and make sh!+ happen on the days I don’t want to be a mom. On the days when I’ve put too much pressure on myself to do it all.    A lot of people think because I teach others about parenting and feeling in control that I’m a perfect parent. That’s so far from the truth. I’m human too don’t forget.      In today’s...

  Today’s episode is all about what it really takes to create emotional freedom.    I talk a lot about emotional freedom because I believe it’s the foundation of happiness and success AND  it's possible for anyone. Yes, anyone.    If we/or our children do not have the tools and roles models to guide them towards feeling in control of their big emotions (anger, anxiety, fear and negative thoughts)...

If you’re wasting time,  you’re wasting your life. Being diagnosis with cancer taught me this.    I get it, we’re all busy. Kids, work, errands… who has time for sex or self care? I will tell ya who. People who create the life they want.     Have you ever wondered how the average successful (not burnt out) business woman and mother is able to have time for herself and cultivate deep relationships...

  Have you ever caught yourself in a situation when a child or someone you know is having a meltdown or trantrum and thought, now what?    Have you ever wondered what to do in the midst of a meltdown when your child (or someone you know) is in the RED zone?    How do you let them process these emotions without losing your cool?  Or taking away their pain?    In this episode, I discuss:    What to...

Personal development can become addictive, especially when you come to believe you can't move on until you are fixed or the problem is solved. I see women do this a lot and spend years in therapy. Perfectionism hits hard. Especially when it comes to their kids.  NOTE: I'm a huge fan of therapy but there comes a time when you need to move on to the next level.    LINKS FOR THE SHOW: Keep your ears...

POINT 1: Prioritize and get clear on what matters to YOU and your business.  Being true to yourself and run your business and life in a way that feels good to you.  POINT 2: Get rid of the overwhelm in your business.  Make it a priority to put systems in place that save your sanity. Get real with what you can handle and follow through with making the process easier.  POINT 3: Eliminate life stress...

POINT 1: Get clear on your values and lead from that place.    I see so many women lead from a place of fear and never truly feel in alignment in their lives. They value honesty and yet they are never honest with themselves.    When you’re clear on how you want to raise your children, show up in your marriage, feel when you work — you can start to take actions that align with your values.    POINT...

POINT 1: The circle of I’m not good enough.    Unconscious belief —> Thoughts —> Action —> Reality (want you want/what you don't want).    POINT 2: Talk to your fear.    What is your fear trying to tell you?  Connect to your fear. Write fear a letter.    Example: Dear fear… Why are you here? What are you trying to tell me? What do you need from me?      POINT 3: Disrupt the system by taking differ...

POINT 1: Do what you need to do to make shit happen!   The shame, blame and guilt game are easy to play. Try taking action instead of judging someone else for not doing something that didn’t meet your expectations.      POINT 2: Your children’s successes are not yours. Their failures are not yours.    It’s easy to forget that our children are on their own spiritual journey, with their own script....

006: Feel In Control Of Your Overwhelm.    POINT 1: Stop what you’re doing and feel the overwhelm.  Being stuck in overwhelm doesn't serve you. You spin and use your precious energy on being stuck. So stop what you’re doing and use that energy to focus on what you DO want.    POINT 2: Write it all out. Brain dump.  Dump it all out of your brain. Get rid of it. Everything. Pen to paper or write it...

They get louder as time goes on, until the discomfort becomes painful.  POINT 2: Ignite Passion In Your Life.  Get clean on how you want to feel and start cultivating these feelings throughout your day, you will start to feel more connected to yourself, your children and life in general.  POINT 3: Be intentional...
