No More 'Good Girl'

Another mom life pep talk for ya today! Talking about our rhythm for staying on top of the dishes. We even did this one when we didn't have a dishwasher + our kids were young.  There is a motto I once heard from someone and it has stuck ever since with just about everything in our home... 'touch it once'  Like why carry the laundry to your room only to drop it on the bed and then have to throw it...

Simplifying my kids closets has not only helped with the laundry load, but it has helped them keep their space more organized as well.  I began noticing that my kids were wearing the same few things on repeat so I wondered why on earth I was stressing over them having options when they didn't truly want them.  So... we simplified and today I'm sharing with you my process and everything that went i...

Hello there everyone!! Finding balance in your life between being a mom and running a business and finding time for you can be so hard. I've been thinking about it a lot and so for this episode I wanted to talk about that there really is no balance, but we can ask ourselves, where can we create more flow in our lives? Allowing your life to just flow and making sure it flows in a positive direction...

Sharing this empowered mom tip with you today... have your kids put their own clothes away!  Yep, I sure did have to let go of a lot of perfectionism, but now that my two youngest are 7 and 9, they do a pretty dang good job!  I started having my kids put their own clothes away around 5 years old. One of my biggest reasons was to help them be more independent and also... I didn't want to if I'm bei...

This is one of my favorite things to teach in my Mom Life Mastery program because I used to struggle hard core staying on top of laundry in our house. It was the bane of my existence and the thing about it is, it's never ALL done, but to keep it from piling up, we do one load of laundry around here and it keeps it from piling up! Are you a daily laundry doer or do you try to find time on the weeke...

Sometimes it's really hard to speak our truth. Especially when we're afraid it will hurt the other person.  But the thing is, you are also hurting yourself by tucking it away and not speaking up.  So you have a choice to make...  Speak your truth and empower yourself  OR Continue to tuck away your true desires and feelings + put yourself on the backburner.  I did this in Hawaii and boy will I tell...

What if you choose to live in the world of possibility and lean into the feeling of empowerment?  I feel like when our 3D doesn't match the vision we have for our lives, it's really easy to get discouraged. Don't get me wrong, this isn't easy, but what if instead you looked for proof in other people creating what you desire?  Use that as proof to live in what's possible for you.  I'm willing to be...

Hey there everyone! For this episode of Braving the Mountain I wanted to talk about how to let life be easy by putting rhythms in place in daily life. Finding a rhythm takes time and effort but it can make a world of difference if you can stick to it.   When I first started to invest in myself, I started small. I was just journaling every day and writing just a few things down that had happened th...

The question I have for you today is who do you need to become to get where you desire to go?  The habits, stories, and beliefs that you have held up until this point got you here, but they won't get you where you are going.   So what do you need to let go of so that you can become the person you need to be to reach those dreams and desires in your heart?  If you go back to last week's episode on...

Sometimes as moms we tend to forget ourselves. We get lost in the piles of laundry and taking care of everyone else. But I'm a believer that motherhood doesn't have to be surviving life... it's about finding YOU again and deciding what you truly want in life. I offer a few questions for you to ask yourself in this episode so that you can truly start to discover what you desire deep down + start ta...

If you want to live a better life, you need to ask yourself better questions. A lot of the time we just go about our days taking what comes our way and not putting a lot of intention behind it.  But what if you were to start with a little more intention by asking yourself more empowering questions because the brain will always search for answers to the questions you ask.  Why not find proof for wh...

Hey everyone! I'm so excited for this week's episode of braving the mountain. I want to let all my mamas know that it's time to stop 'shoulding' all over yourself and it's time to take control and OWN your life! Every parenting style is slightly different, motherhood looks different for everyone. There's this stereotype that moms are a hot mess. Walking around with stains on your shirt, wearing sw...

I am a firm believer that your home needs to be easily maintained when you are creating a life you love with kids in tow.  The thing we don't understand is the affect that clutter has on our mental health. Not only do the things we don't love take up space, but it also takes up our time and emotional energy.  If you are creating a life that you love and are looking to get more time for YOU, then y...

Hello hello! This episode of Braving the Mountain is a shorter one. I wanted to quickly get on and talk about how to stop being the "one-day mom."   I know this is something that has happened to most of us, but how many times have our kids come up to us and asked a question and we respond, "maybe one-day." I think this is a phrase we use too often, because will we actually do it one-day if we just...

If you want to live a life that truly feels good, you've gotta do it YOUR way. If you've been doing things based on past experiences or the way that you were raised but you don't want to anymore.... change it!  I get it, that fear of judgment comes in or we are afraid someone might offer up their opinion, and they might.... but what if they don't?  Perhaps it's time to get a little uncomfy and tak...

Hello hello everyone! For this week's episode of braving the mountain I wanted to talk about saying yes to the parts of you that you believe. This is an idea that keeps coming back to me throughout my life. My life took a big turn when I had my first kid at 19, and I really had to look at my life and decide what I really believed in. I had so much motivation to make my life what I wanted it to be,...
