Recently, I had an experience with my daughter where my initial reaction was to get scared and then so angry I wanted to yell at her. But I didn't.

Have you ever noticed how quick people are to assume the worst in others? Maybe you've even recognized this tendency in yourself. When we assume the worst in others, it negatively impacts our experience of life, our mood, and especially our relationships. How often are you assuming the worst intentions from your own kids? This episode is full of examples that every mom can relate to – from kids no...

Today's episode is about changing your state; not in the sense of shifting where you physically live, but where you mentally live. Your "state" refers to your dominant way of being in the world and consists of your attitudes, perceptions, assumptions, beliefs, feelings, and actions. If you don't like the results you're creating in your life, it may be time to change your state. Tune into this epis...

When presented with an opportunity to make a change for the better or go after a goal, many moms don't take it. They choose to stay stuck. But why? In today's episode, I'm sharing my thoughts about what stops us from doing the things we KNOW will benefit us and move us forward in life, and how to get unstuck. https://lessdramamoremama.com/231

Happy New Year, mama! I hope you're having an amazing start to 2023. Did you set a resolution or goal yet? I recently read that 54% of American parents make New Year's resolutions, and while I think setting goals is amazing, why we set them and how we think about them ultimately determines whether or not we will attain them. Most of the time, I see parents set goals with the idea that they'll be h...

This week's episode is a twist on self-care that you probably haven't heard. When they think about self-care, many moms imagine bubble baths, a few minutes of quiet time (locked in the bathroom), or a warm cup of coffee before a hectic day begins. Today I'm sharing a strategy that's been a huge mood-lifter for me, and I know it can do the same for you. Plus, it's not a run-of-the-mill idea you'd f...

We've already talked about the first two pillars of the More Mama Method – Control and Connection, and this week we're talking about Competence. Do you know what to do when your kids have totally different temperaments and don't respond to the same parenting approach? Or what to do when kids are uncooperative? Or when you feel totally overwhelmed by life? This episode addresses all those things fr...

In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing a really personal story about an argument I had with my ex-husband and some of the derogatory things he said to me. The reason I'm sharing this with you is because I know almost every mom deals with disparaging remarks at some point -- whether they come from someone else or, more likely, their own mental narrative. But the story doesn't end the way you proba...

Last week, I shared the first pillar of my signature framework The More Mama Method, which is the process I take my clients through to help them create happier lives and better relationships with their kids. This week, I'm sharing the second pillar. It's a word we use often in parenting, but it has a totally different definition in my method: Control. When you hear that word, you might think about...

Since coaching so many clients over the past ten years, I've identified several common themes and obstacles moms face that I address again and again. With the help of my business coach, I thought through the exact steps I take to help moms overcome these obstacles and mapped out my unique process that I'm now referring to as "The More Mama Method." In this episode of the podcast, I'm delving into...

Do you feel overwhelmed just thinking about the amount of "stuff" your kids will get during the holidays and where to put it all? We've been conditioned (here in the U.S. especially) to believe that more is better. But where there is too much stuff, fewer things are truly valued. Attention spans are shorter. Anxiety, overwhelm, and boredom are greater. And there's a need to fill every void with –...

The holidays are approaching, and your social media accounts are about to be flooded with photos and quotes about gratitude. This year, I wanted to talk about gratitude in a way you might not have heard before.

Last week, I ran a workshop called The Secret to Raising Respectful Kids (That No One Else is Talking About) and it was amazing! Prior to the workshop, I sent an email asking those who signed up to tell me ONE THING they most wanted to know, ask, or understand by the end of the workshop.

So, why do moms have such a hard time investing in themselves? Tune into this episod...
