Mommy Couch Confessions

Hey Y'all! This weeks episode found me in the midst of regrouping after work as I satiated myself with cookies and my favorite blanket. It's amazing what happens in our minds when we still our bodies and sort through the thoughts and experiences we have. Join me for.a quick chat as I share some of the recent experiences and epiphanies I have had in this new year. Support the show

Hey Y'all! As we start the new year, I didn't want to take a full stroll down memory lane but I share my heart with how my view and vision in this new year has been influenced by last year. Still sitting with the awe that we are fresh into the first Monday of this year and I am beyond grateful for being able to share it with you. Here's to a new year of conversations on the couch......

Hey Y'all! Fall is upon us and crisp mornings are more common the past few days. As I snuggle on my couch warm and comfortable, I slow my breathing to refocus. In this season as a parent, friend and educator I recognize  the responsibility of the safe spaces I've created. When people feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and transparent, it is an honor and privilege. But it also requi...

Hey Y'all! Welcome back to the couch. Sometimes in life we all make mistakes. Shocking right!? What happens in your mind when you do? I struggle with beating myself up with the shoulda, coulda, wouldas worse than Mike Tyson in a title match. And while I can easily give grace for human error to others, I judge myself in a way that leans towards perfectionism. Join me as I share the journey I&a...

Hey Y'all! We all have moments where we find it difficult to be or stay present. Join me on the couch where I share how looking forward to the future became my coping mechanism of choice and how being present not only takes practice but brings about a different level of appreciation for life. The places we find ourselves in at any given moment are temporary, the feelings can be fleeting but t...

Hey Y'all! Today on the couch, I share a message posted to IG that grabbed my attention and my heart. The truth is, so often I find myself doing what's best or most expected by others as opposed to walking in my own truth. That burden is heavy and the outcome comes with a tired feeling that doesn't go away with naps or lazy days on the couch. It's a tired that has made me quest...

Hey Y'all This one is personal, close to my heart and heavy. This episode of the couch I discuss what I believe to be the hardest goodbye, letting go of a friendship in adulthood. Choosing to do life with people and opening ourselves up to them is beautiful and in some ways restoring. But what happens when you have to say goodbye? The intensity of the love held becomes a pain that lives in ou...

Hey Y'all! As we move through seasons of life, we can look back and see how we survived, over-achieved, fell down, worked hard to strive or gave up. On this episode of the couch, I share how I am choosing to move from the heavy burden of striving to create change to the surrender that opens up the space to thrive in God's will. Just a short and quick chat on the couch that I hope you&apo...

Hey Y'all! Welcome back to the couch. Join me for this episode where I share a story on how I was low-key suffocating myself slowly and the powerful lessons learned when I decided to release and let go. Sometimes we hold on too tight and the main person we hinder and hurt in the process is ourselves. Grab a drink, a soft blanket and lets walk through this together! Support the show

Hey Y'all! It was a night of no kiddos climbing in bed to wake me up which meant actually waking up when my 6 a.m. alarm went off. Prayers, coffee and quiet time translated to a few thoughts about love languages and what it looks like to love ourselves the way we are often told we should look to others to. Join me for this quick chat on the couch before the start of a full day! Support the sh...

Too often we see our value and worth tied directly to external validations or tangible reward. Join me as I tell you how new bedding both challenged my perspective and showed me more about how I see myself than I ever thought possible. Look forward to meeting you on the couch Support the show

Hey Y'all! We have all said and heard, "enough is enough," right? I hope you will join me on the couch to tackle the illusion of "enough" and how those six letters can keep us stuck in patterns, thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve us. I am choosing to exchange "enough" with a word that doesn't trigger my survival tactics and send me into spirals that...

Hey Y'all! **Trigger Warning** This episode, I touch on suicide, depression and mental health. If you or someone you know are struggling there is help available, please see below for resources. As we wrap the first month of the year, re-evaluating how far we have (or haven't come) on obtaining goals and meeting resolutions can be burdensome. And even though we all love a fresh start and...

Hey Y'all!  In this episode, join me on the couch as we touch on the importance of following your truth and leaving behind the path of people pleasing and self-doubt. The process of learning to trust the way that is made clear to you instead of looking for approval can be scary but so worth the work. Come grab your seat on the couch! Support the show

Hey Y'all! We made it through the holiday season and are smack dab at the start of a whole new year! So thankful to have made it this far and I look forward to all this year has in store. On the couch in the coming weeks there will be some laughs, some tears and a whole lot of truth. I hope you will join in on the conversations and bring a few friends to get comfy with us as we move through t...

Hey Y'all! There are days we all sit and wish life or some circumstances were different. We dream about how life would be different "if...". Between a pandemic, forced quarantine and finding out footing in this new season, we have to do more than just contemplate and daydream. Getting clear about what you want isn't solely about financial gain. What do you want your relationshi...

Hey Y'all! As we leave the early sunrises and late sunsets of summer and cooler temps kick in, many of us will begin spending more time inside. Much like the shifts in physical seasons, we experience similar shifts in our mental and emotional health. In a culture so bent on performance and optics, many people are struggling but too afraid to admit it. Chile, let me start by telling on myself....

Hey Y'all! Can y'all believe it's been a whole year since the very first episode of Mommy Couch Confessions went live?! I know, me either! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to create this space and to have been able to share it with so many amazing women and mothers. The journey of motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint and I hope you are gearing up to stay with me on the...

Hey Y'all! Have you ever had the hardest time getting up and moving? Has the thought of all you "have to do" make you want to not even take the first step? The heaviness of performance and idea that circumstances have to be just right can be the biggest hinderance to our progress. Join me this episode and see how I am learning to fight through perfection in order to make space for w...

**Trigger Warning** On this episode I discuss childhood trauma, assault and the process of healing that has spanned over 25 years. Trauma in any form can be painful and I am aware that we are all on different paths of healing and growth. The idea to test my healing by putting myself in environments that directly correlated with my childhood trauma proved to be more detrimental than I anticipated b...

Here we go, the first of many couch sessions where I share a few highlights and lessons from a trip that went from a "never doing that" to being the best decision of my adult life. Sometimes we don't realize that in the process of living we are looking for something. There's power in showing up, moving past trying into doing and being present as it all unfolds. Join me on the c...

Hey Y'all! After an unplanned summer hiatus we are back on the couch. This has been a summer of traveling, life lessons and personal growth. I look forward to sharing a recap with you and discussing all things healing, surrender and real life! It has been a bumpy ride at times but one worth taking and as far as I can tell so far, this ride is no where near ending. I've saved you a seat o...
