In the adulting Olympics, moms would be the juggling champions, hands-down (wouldn't it be great if that were an actual Olympic sport?!) Moms are master jugglers and pride themselves on doing all the things, but is doing all the things the right thing? Mommy burnout is a hot topic these days and what I've found is there is a lot of blame going around. So let's have a real conversation about mommy...

This is a common one, mamas and it's worth an honest conversation. Living in a house you aren't super jazzed about can affect how you feel about your home overall. Our houses are dwellings, but our homes are a feeling. We carry them with us wherever we go. How do we go about loving our homes when we don't exactly love the dwellings we're in?

Progress over perfection is a beautiful and powerful quote and mindset shift. Perfection is an unattainable goal and reaching for it wastes heaps of time, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for less. Embracing a life of imperfect effort and imperfect moments is not the same as settling for less than you truly desire. Want more from this episode? Head over to www.motherlikeaboss.com/podcast/2...

We have another Q&A episode comin' atcha today and this one as is deep as it is popular in the MLAB space. What happens when you start to change, start to uplevel, start to see improvements, but you're spouse isn't? How do we navigate the feeling of "leaving people behind" that come up as we change?

Someone once asked me, "What does your perfect day look like?" and my response was "I looks like an imperfect day because I can't create a perfect day." The word "optimal" has been popping up in my life lately and while I usually teach about how to create your ideal day, I've started to shift a bit. What if we thought about creating a framework for our days around what is optimal, what is best? Wh...

The nurturing soul of a mother is full of compassion for her children, but how much warmth and understanding do you extend to yourself? We're conditioned to be hard on ourselves because the mindset of perfectionism runs deep.

Moms are nurturers by nature and nothing feels more nurturing than providing our kids with happy lives. However, in my never-ending quest in the self-development world, I've realized that fostering happiness is not the same as constantly trying to force happiness onto my children. We are not responsible for the emotions of others and micromanaging the feelings of our kiddos is exhausting and prett...

Remember the days when you didn't know everyone's opinion about everything and they didn't know your opinion about everything either? The good old days. Opinions are great because they make us all different, but being sanctimonious in the way we show up with those opinions can be damaging to the confidence level of us all, moms included. Everywhere you turn, it seems like the sanctimommies have ta...

Times may be changing, but homemaking is still important. Why? Because your home is more than the cleaning, the cooking, the momming. A home is what happens inside and outside the walls, separate from the material world. Our homes are intangible, a feeling more than anything. That never stops being important. So what does that mean for modern moms and reluctant homemakers alike? Today is a discuss...

Vulnerable. That's what this episode is. In my motherhood communities, we get a lot of questions about step, or bonus parenting. I may not be a stepparents, but I am a stepchild and have been since I was 3. I wanted to open up on this episode and give a unique perspective from the viewpoint of a "bonus kid." Sometimes, the best ways to approach difficult situations are by putting yourself in the o...

It's official: I'm the mother of a teenager daughter. Someone catch me as I fall over in disbelief. I am uninterested in typecasting her in the role of "moody teen" and instead plan to let her forge her own path, emotions and all. We thought it would be a great way to celebrate the birth of my first born by doing an insightful and honest Q&A session with her. Our listeners (and their teens!) asked...

Being an overachiever was a badge of honor for much of my life. Achieving gave me purpose and accolades made me feel worthy, but at what cost? There is a trap that's easy to fall into as a go-getter, an overachiever in life and it's time we discuss what price we pay in motherhood for falling into this trap. The gold-star mentality can be costly when no one is handing us gold stars anymore. Don't f...
