No More 'Good Girl'

I get it... You're feeling like the to-do list is growing, there's not enough time to get everything done, and you feel like you're running around like a chicken with your head cut off.  The overwhelm creeps in and the voices start talking, telling you...  You're not good enough There's never going to be enough time You should be able to stay on top of it all Until these things are done, you'll ne...

There are a LOT of thoughts bouncing in my mind tonight as I share all of my thoughts and feeligs as of late throughout this move. It's interesting to become the observer of your thoughts, habits, and patterns as well as knowing what serves you well when emotions run high.  I share what helps me regulate my nervous system in tough situations.    Join the Mom Life Collective: http://amandaclark.biz...

When we step out of our comfort zone in BIG ways like my family and I just did, our little gangsters love to have a hay day!  Unfamiliar feels very unsafe to a lot of our parts and if you're anything like me, you might be scared when it comes to taking risks in your life.  But here's the thing... YOU CHOOSE what you focus on and I'm talking about how I shift out of the funk and the thoughts + feel...

Hey girl,  You know what I realized the other day? The reason so many amazing women like you connect with what I'm putting out there is simple:  I'm unapologetically ME, and I'm on a mission to help you be unapologetically YOU!  Real talk: Aren't you tired of dimming your light and downplaying yourself just to make other people comfy? Meeee too! I've stopped dimming a lot of myself lately and I wi...

If you're a mom who's feeling overwhelmed and trapped by the expectations society places on us, then this pep talk is for you. Today, I'm talking all about  how you being a martyr to motherhood is a choice…. And I don't say that lightly because I've been there. For a long time, I bought into the narrative that motherhood meant sacrificing everything, constantly looking disheveled, and never gettin...

The exact opposite of what I thought would happen when we picked a house happened.   Find me at: https://www.instagram.com/its.amandaclark/  

When we make decisions in our lives to do something out of our comfort zone, there are parts of us who want to run back to safety.  This 'little gangster' got REAL loud the morning we had to make a decision on a house for our family.  We are SO FAR out of our comfort zones and taking scary steps into a whole new life.  Follow along here: https://www.instagram.com/its.amandaclark/  

Selling mostly all of our stuff and moving to a new state wasn't a decision we took lightly, but as the time to move crept closer, a lot of the sh!t pops up.  But the most important thing is to come back to your WHY... Why are you doing what you are choosing to do?  I talk about all of the emotions on this journey of selling nearly everything but a few old, sturdy dressers and our clothes to chase...

A lot of feelings running through me today. Tomorrow is day one of the new me as I drive away from the place we've called home for the past 6 years.  We have lived in Cedar City for 8 years total now and have made the decision to head to a new state to build an even bigger life!  We are selling almost everything + moving to a new state to change our lives! This is the update on the two homes we ar...

Do you have your back? Like really have your back? For those of you who have been following my journey for a while know that our house is currently under contract and we have to be out in about 3 and a half weeks at the time of this recording…. About 5 days from today! EEEKKK!!! And going through this process has taught me a lot. The thing is, what you focus on in your life, you will create more o...

Let's get real for a second. I feel that a lot of us women often sacrifice ourselves for the happiness of others. The good ol' cycle of people pleasing amiright?   I used to be that person and I've learned that all it does is lead you to burnout. I used to think that if I did 'enough' for my hubs + kids, they'd be happy and everything would be rainbows and unicorns. I learned that was BS and what...

Day three of getting ready to move to a new state after selling nearly everything to start fresh + create our lives.  This is honestly the scariest thing I've ever done and I can't wait to see how it goes!  I'm ready to hit the ground running and grow this biz of mine!   Follow along here: https://www.instagram.com/its.amandaclark/

This one is for my people-pleasers! Where you at?! Haha Gosh, I feel this episode so deeply because I've lived a lot of my life picking up other people's sh!t.  And by this I mean that when I say or do something that upsets someone… I try to make it 'better' or 'solve the problem' which truly doesn't exist.  How often do  you find yourself a little nervous when other people have big reactions to s...

As women and moms, we often think it's our job to take care of everything else while our partners are the ones making the money. This dynamic is great if it works for you, but if you're like a lot of moms out there, you feel that this can work differently. I'm here to tell you that it most certainly can! This morning I was feeling a little stressed while getting our house ready for a showing. I ha...

You create the energy in your home as a mom. Do you get that? Maybe you've heard the saying, "if mama ain't happy…" and there is some truth to that. Because if we as moms hold the dominant energy in the home, then how are we choosing to show up? Are we letting our own frustration and overwhelm be taken out on those around us? This is what I used to do. I was so overwhelmed and frustrated in life t...

Getting the support you need expands you in so many ways. As a mom your energy is the dominant energy in your home. If you are constantly overwhelmed, frazzled, and running around like a chicken with your head cut off, what do you think those around you will pick up on? Our kids pick up on the energy we bring into the home and not to sound cliche, but have you heard the song, "If mama ain't happy?...
