The Mother Like a Boss Podcast

It is such a joy that I get to bring back on-air coaching calls to the podcast. These discussions with real moms and real students are filled with truth and helpful to so many other struggling mamas out there. Today, I'm welcoming Lisa Prieto, a homeschooling and entrepreneur mama of 2 with a lot on her plate. This conversations gets honest and real, as we discuss fear of failure and the overwhelm...

Around every corner in motherhood, there seems to be another thing to be afraid of. But what would our lives look like if we stopped making our everyday decisions out of fear? Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being judged? We don't have to throw caution to the wind and live recklessly in order to enjoy a life where our decisions are based more on love than on fear. Wa...

Getting and staying organized isn't about how many storage containers or bins you have in your home. The last thing we need is more stuff to hold our stuff. Instead, I want to help you think of organization as nothing more than a system, something that can be replicated over and over again to give you ease in your life. So, how do YOU feel about getting organized? Want more from this episode? Head...

In a world full of devices, screens, social media and all things internet based, screen time is a hot topic. It's a common question I get, "How should I handle screen time in my home?" The truth is, I don't have all the answers. All I know is what works for us, and what works for us is setting clear boundaries and making our values clear. This episode is all about how my husband and I handle scree...

I can't even describe the ways my life positively changed when I started letting go of the need to control everything in my life and started practicing the fine art of surrender. Surrendering isn't about giving up, it's about accepting what is so you can take more inspired action. I know how easy it is to want to white-knuckle our way through motherhood, trying to control every aspect of our child...

Let's all just face it: we are living with far too much stuff. Too many things, too many options, too many obligations. My guest today is on a mission to provide more for moms by showing them how to live with less. Allie Casazza, host of The Purpose Show podcast, founder of the globally-praised course Your Uncluttered home, and one of my best friends in the whole word is bringing a lot of truth an...

They say that patience is a virtue, but did "they" ever have kids? As a self-proclaimed impatient girl since childhood, I've seen the danger in living from a place of "Next, please. Hurry up!" Impatience strips us of the present moment. In this episode, I want to encourage you to take a breath and move through life with more ease and less expectation. We'd be amazed what we can enjoy and experienc...

It's a new year, mamas and that means it's time to reflect on the last 365 days and make plans for the time ahead of us. I'm not into resolutions (as heard in a previous episode.) I concentrate on intentional goals and creating a word of the year that sparks purpose in my life. Today's episode is dedicated to starting the year off right, without lofty resolutions that won't be met. Instead, I want...

Go shawty, it's my birthday. I'm the big 3-5 today and I couldn't be more excited. To me, getting older is a privilege not afforded to so many. I'm wiser. I'm happier.

How is it possible that we're at the end of 2018 already? Didn't we just start? With the end of the year coming up fast, resolutions are all the rave. Everyone has one (or ten) to set, but inevitably, most will be completely abandoned by February 1. I've fallen victim to it myself, which is why I quit the resolution game many years ago. I'm a goal oriented person and love to challenge myself to im...

Where are all my tired parents at? I know, you're probably too exhausted to even lift your hand. Sleep issues with our little ones have a profound effect on so many areas of our life as I can tell you from experience. I'm overjoyed to bring you a conversation about such a thing today with Abigail Cannon. Abigail is the founder of ABCs of Sleep and believes in creating positive sleep habits for bot...

The best routines are about doing what works, not creating more to do. They should fit into your life, not the other way around.

It's funny to think that I've been self-employed for as long as I have been a mom and homemaker, but I've raised both my business and kiddos together. Doing either of those two things can be stressful and time consuming enough, but doing them both at the same time take a bit of strategy (and a whole lot of letting go) Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes into how I run my home as a self-employe...

Back by popular demand is the father like a boss himself, my husband Adam. Creating and leading my mission has been a joy for me, but it isn't always easy. With kids and a home to keep up with, having someone by my side that supports me, loves me and encourages me while also taking on half of the responsibility like a good partner should has been more important than anything. Join us for a fun, so...

To balance, by definition, means to distribute weight evenly or keep in a steady position so it doesn't fall. That doesn't sound like the kind of carefree and exciting way I want to run my business, run my home or mother my children. I've heard so much about "work/life balance" since I became a mother and entrepreneur and quite honestly, I don't practice it. Whether you're trying to do it all and...

If it isn't bringing you happiness, why is it still in your life? We hold onto things, physical and otherwise for too long. What doesn't serve us is taking up space in our home, our relationships and our souls. Time to let go of what isn't serving us. Want more from this episode?

When I started Mother Like a Boss, I knew there was one area that I wasn't going to pretend to be an expert in: parenting. While I've learned a lot over the years, I wanted to bring positive parenting experts to my audience that are teaching parenting from a place of positivity and happiness. Today, I'm so thrilled to introduce you to Rachel Bailey of Redefining Perfect Parenting. This interview i...

Your children need you to be your best for them, because only you can be the mom they need.

There is a heartbreaking trend I am seeing: Moms who don't take the time to live their best lives because they are two wrapped up in helping others live theirs. You are deserving of a beautiful year and an even more beautiful life, but no one is going to do it for you. It takes dreaming, and declaration, and action. So today, I'm making a special announcement for the moms out there that are ready...

With the holiday season and cooler weather (at least where I live) comes the runny noses and scratchy throats. But no matter what time of year it is, being sick or caring for someone in your home that's sick is no fun. A "sick kit" should really be called a "well kit" because that's the goal. The goal of a sick kit is to keep the things on hand that we'll need to get well, so we're not making thos...
