I’m guessing someone at some point told you something like, “If you take good care of yourself, you’ll be so much more able to take good care of others.”   Can we just call BS on this?!?   First of all, you are allowed to take good care of yourself because you damn well deserve it, not because you need to serve others better.    AND…   When is the last time anyone ever told a dude to take good car...

There are so many things I want to scream out of rage and disillusionment right now. But that is not what is most productive. What is most productive is being an intentional part of the solution.  The solution is to dismantle rape culture. And it starts HERE.  It starts with how we are raising our boys.  Now. Today. It starts with the conversations you’re having with your sons and the behavior you...

Every now and then I get an email from a Shameless Mom that just blows me away. A couple weeks ago I got one such email – detailing a mama’s struggle with her current relationship with an addict and her past decision to terminate a pregnancy.  What was so overwhelmingly touching about this email was that a lot of the email was about how HAPPY this mama is. That 96.34% of the time she is extremely...

There is a saying that goes something like, “A goal without a deadline is just a dream.” I couldn’t agree more. Don’t get me wrong - dreams are nice.  But a goal with a deadline is much more likely to dramatically change your life. An early mentor of mine used to always say, “Cut your deadlines in half.” His purpose in giving this advice is that if you could accomplish something in half the time y...

Last week I tore my heart out and left in a kindergarten classroom in the pocket of my sweet Vinnie. It was a journey to get to that day, and just when I thought I had won the day by not having a monumental meltdown, Vinnie had a monumental meltdown on the way home from school and I was reminded that my work here will never be done. Which is a relief in this time of transition… Even if you aren’t...

I only recently realized anxiety has been a part of my life for almost my entire life. When worry has been your gift for as long as you can remember, you don’t really think about it being anything other than normal.  A few years ago a sleep doctor asked me for how much of my life I had been hyper-vigilant. Me? Hyper-vigilant? Huh…. I had never thought about myself or my worry this way. I sat quiet...

I’ll be honest, boundaries are tricky for me. I’m a people pleaser for sure. But I’m also acutely aware of my (shamelessly selfish) needs. Over the last few years, I have gotten so much better at practicing what I preach and now I really embrace certain boundaries and 100% OWN them.  Getting clarity around boundaries is so freeing. It has allowed me to have an immediate go-to responses to things t...

One of the things I am most convinced of in life is our ability to control our outcomes by controlling our thoughts. If you think positive and powerful thoughts, you will do positive and powerful things. If your thoughts are filled with self-doubt and harsh judgment of your abilities, you will likely find yourself stuck in a place you don’t know how to move out of.  This isn’t to say changing your...

It’s easy for us to underestimate our own power. Giving birth is the single most powerful a woman can do. I chose to do it unmedicated. I don’t think this is necessarily the best way, but it’s the way I chose. And my low-risk pregnancy allowed me to do this at home.  I learned through my home birth experience that I can do really hard things. That said, I would not opt for another unmedicated birt...

I’m going to be a little controversial here and tell you that if you feel you don’t have enough time in your day, it’s your own fault.  I don’t say this because I doubt you are super busy. I know you have a lot of balls in the air. I totally get it. But I also know that the constant overwhelm of busyness is usually due to two things: Taking on too many things and not being clear on what you need t...

Last month, we found ourselves in the middle of a string of traumatic lies at the hands of someone we trusted on the most vulnerable level. Managing that kind of deceit was overwhelming. It took some time to figure out how to move forward. When someone breaks your trust in a big way, it’s easy for your mind to go to dark places. It’s easy to give into fear. It’s easy to make up stories in your hea...
