The Mother Like a Boss Podcast

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.

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...

Today, I'm so thrilled to introduce you to Rachel Bailey of Redefining Perfect Parenting. This interview i...

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...

It's beginning to look a lot like…stress?

I'm not perfect and to be honest, I don't want to be. Running a home and a business simultaneously means there's a whole lot of room for error and I welcome that. Mistakes are the lessons that allow me to be better, to do better and to teach better. I've come a long way and homemaking is much easier now than it's ever been before (thank you routines) but I'm still a work in progress. In the spirit...

I have a pretty strict philosophy in my home: if it can be done at night rather than in the morning, I'm doing it. I love my nighttime routine with all my heart because it allows me to go to bed, set up for success for the next day before it even begins. I want to make future me proud of present me and not grumpy for having to start the morning off in chaos. Today, we're talking not only about the...
