Today I have 9 ways to boost our well-being as Moms (or anyone really), but since my focus is on Moms, these are my thoughts for us! 1. Get Sick- say what?! 2. Physical Touch- hugs, kisses 3. Exercise/Move Your Body 4. Eat/Drink well 5. Get Outside 6. Sleep 7. Meditation/Prayer/Silence 8. Pets 9. SMILE BONUS... listen in to hear the bonus boost! Even if you only adopt one of these little things, y...

Standing for something. Standing for what you believe. We all need to take a stand for what we believe is right or true. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary and that’s what we are exploring on  today's episode.  I have been shy to stand my ground and to speak up about a lot of things that mean a lot to me. In the last episode, I opened up about some of those things and I want to expand upon tha...

After having a conversation with an amazing new friend yesterday I decided to rant (with no notes or actual outline, so it's messy and a little all over the place) about some things that I have been hesitant to put out there. I am one of those people to sit on the sidelines and listen, learn, and observe things and internalize it all because I don't know exactly who I can talk with about...

Are you aware that your brain automatically attaches meanings to situations, actions, events? How about, did you know that you can switch the trajectory of life by changing the meanings we attach to things? This is the topic of today's episode- the meaning we attach to things. We all attach meanings to things and events often times right away these meanings can be negative. Our brain defaults...

Life is all about choices. The choice to be a follower, to be a leader, to be crabby, to be happy, to be an optimist, to be a pessimist, to be joyful… it’s all a choice. Many people feel that life happens TO them… I believe that life happens FOR us and what happens depends on the choices we make.  I am not here to tell you what to think, believe, or what to do. I am an encourager and a cheerleader...

Today I'm looking back at a time when things seemed to be pretty "normal" and in the time it took to receive a phone call, the world went wonky! It's been a doozy, hasn't it!? Do you have questions about what's been happening for the past 365+ days? Do some things maybe just feel a little bit off? A year ago, would you have thought we would be where we are today? I su...

So today I am coming at you with something that I have been working on, thinking about, and stressing over for a long time.  I am super excited to share something that I’ve designed and created for Moms to inspire us to get through those not so easy days. I am not an expert at "Motherhood". I am an expert in optimism and cheering for others. I especially love to support other Moms and Mo...

Today I want to talk about how it is basically impossible to do parenting “right”... someone will always judge you, call you out for something, and try to make you feel as though you are doing it wrong! It's rough to be a parent and now with social media and the like, there is a lot of judgement and people telling you that you are doing it wrong and should be doing it this way or that way. Ug...

How do you feel about social media? How about as far as your kids go? Do you allow them on social media or do they have a phone? Today I wanted to share my thoughts- especially after watching a disturbing documentary. We all want to be a part of the social media scene, but it can be a dangerous and scary rabbit hole to go down. These apps track you and curate information specifically to what you s...

Do you ask for help? If not, you should! I am totally guilty of not asking for help, so today I wanted to dive in and give you permission to ask!! How will we ever get anywhere when we aren't willing to ask for help? Most of my life I've been afraid to ask the questions or seek guidance because I don't want to put people out or feel stupid, so I muddle along on my own and figure it...

Do you ever see the saying “I Am Not For Everyone” on shirts and sweatshirts? I see it all the time and I am drawn to it. I think I finally figured out why so today I thought I would share my thoughts. I am optimistic, happy, talkative, loud laughing, open-minded, and non-confrontational and that makes some people uncomfortable. I realize that I am not everyone's cup of tea and I'm guess...

Today's Jenn's Joy is Meditation. I've been consistently meditating for about 4 years and it has changed my life for the better. Meditation isn’t tied to any particular religion or idealogy. It is just a simple time to dig in to your own consciousness, feel connected to yourself and with everyone else, and to the Universe, God, Source. To get connected with the present moment and in...

Sometimes it’s hard to be grateful for things when it seems like the world is turned upside down, but from what I have experienced and what I have learned, the best and most productive thing we can do is to be grateful and to express that gratitude consistently. Today I want to share a few things that I am incredibly grateful for- one of which is YOU for being a part of this journey and listening...

Are you living in a state of reaction? Are you allowing your feelings to be dictated by the behaviors and actions of other people? Let’s unpack this a little bit today!  Personal power is something that I have been thinking a lot about in the last many months. Emotional health has also been heavy on my mind. I feel like with all of the insanity going on in the world and being cooped up in our hous...

Do you ever think about your vision or your passion or what you are on earth to do? I do all the time! I have some big ideas bouncing around in my head and my guess is that you do as well. Today I want to dive into vision and passions and unpack what it means to have both and what to do about it. I would love to add interviews into this podcast. Got any peeps you would love to hear from on here? I...

What is perfection? In my opinion, perfect doesn’t exist. Perfectionism is an impossibility that we all attempt to achieve at one point or another- especially as Moms. We want the perfect house, the perfect clothes, the perfectly behaved children... There is no definition of perfect or perfection to which everyone can adhere. My version is different than your version and every dictionary has a sli...

Today I want to chat about something that weighs heavily on my mind, may be a little controversial, and is the trend that seems to be rampant these days. The blatant banning or blocking of alternative health methods and alternative practitioners across the board is incredibly concerning. As someone who likes to research health related subjects, I want all of the information, not just what a certai...
