The Purpose Show

I absolutely love technology. I have a business that is ran through technology. I can capture memories with my family through the camera on my phone. I can connect with people all around the world whenever I want. But it can get out of hand. It can become a distraction from what really matters and from what is actually going on. Our phones are playing a huge role in absent-minded motherhood (you k...

Our family has gone through all kinds of seasons when it comes to room sharing. From putting all the boys together to turning our master bedroom into a room shared with 4 kids … we experienced it all! Room sharing fosters closeness. And you will find joy in watching them grow closer. One of my favorite things is listening to the kids giggle every night before bed. No matter how much they bickered...

Running a business with your spouse is like an amped up version of being married. You are together all the time. You are having business meetings together, eating 3 meals a day together, watching the kids together, planning new content together. You do all of it together . And when you are used to being on your own it is weird to, all of the sudden, be doing it together. We are getting ready to ce...

Robin Long is the founder of The Balanced Life, which started as an online platform for her to teach Pilates but has grown to much more than that. She is a well of wisdom when it comes to living in the balance of food + exercise. We often get into the mindset that "exercise equals all of these hard things, so I can't exercise" or "well, if I licked a donut, then I might as well just eat burgers, f...

Surprise! Today is the very first episode of bonus episodes I will be sharing!  Every rare once-in-a-while, I will put out a Bonus Episode that was just too good to wait. Or it could be a message that I really had on my heart for you guys. In this episode, I am sharing all about homeschooling - how it works for us, the curriculum we are using, our typical schedule, and what I think about it. I kno...

Being busy is either a badge of honor or something that is seen as really negative in our culture today. Like if you don't have a ton of whitespace on your calendar you are focused on the wrong things and you are too busy to really enjoy your life. Or some people won't even say the word busy or I hear them say they don't really like the word busy . I think that both ends of the spectrum and both v...

You know the items you have laying around taking up space, but are too sentimental to throw away? Or the boxes full of toys your kids don't play with anymore? What about the mountains of paperwork that are too important to get rid of? And the never ending rack of clothes that you don't wear, or wear that often? Oh, and don't get me started on the piles of stuff husbands leave around the house! If...

As busy mom's, we are in the hardest season when it comes to sex. We are exhausted majority of the time, we don't feel sexy because things are leaking, we are being pulled on all day, and if we are being honest, sex isn't our priority. We want it, but our bodies are too tired to do it. But sex isn't just going to happen if we are waiting for it to happen. It has to be something that we start looki...

There's this perfectionism that Pinterest and Instagram have brought into our society. And from that, there is this idea that if you change your mind, it looks like you are a mess. But, life is so crazy. Things are so stressful. Things change and flow all of the time. Seasons ebb and flow which means how you operate in those seasons sometimes changes. It is about saying "no" to what isn't working...

Have you ever wondered why we chose to have our kids so close in age or how we create boundaries with technology? If you said yes, then this is an episode you don't want to miss! And even if you said no, I believe you will still enjoy this episode, as I sit down + answer some of the top questions I get asked all the time. So grab a cup of coffee + enjoy! Everything I talk about in this episode can...

Although Prioritizing Date Night seems like an episode that might be helpful before Valentine's Day, I purposely waited until after because I believe date night is all of the time.  It shouldn't be something that is focused on once a year. Date night is an investment. And what you choose to invest in is important. Being busy, having kids, and not being able to get away are not excuses. Choose to p...

As moms, specifically SAHM moms, are we doing full hair & makeup every single day?  No, not necessarily.  But we can get in better rhythms and habits and make ourselves our priority.  Because if we are making ourselves a priority and making ourselves up a little bit, we will feel better about ourselves. It may seem a bit silly talking about hair and makeup for yourself.  But it makes a huge differ...

Allie is joined by her husband, Brian to discuss Cultivating Friendship in Your Marriage. Any couple can cultivate a friendship with a little work. Marriage is already work, so why not focus on working to be friends with your spouse. How do friends act? What do they do for each other? How are they with each other?  They go out for coffee. They talk about their day with one another. They intentiona...

Taking Care of Yourself is talked about a lot in our culture today, but I don't think we are truly taking action on it. I think it is hard for us to do that. We are taking care of so many other people all the time that we forget that we matter. Our tanks get low, close to empty. We get snarky, cranky, fussy. It's because your well is empty. You can not pull up fresh, hydrating water that your fami...

Being an Action Taking Problem Solving mom is about identifying the problems and taking action on them. It is writing out the issues and finding solutions for them.   Louise Hay says, "I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking, then my problems fix themselves." When something is a problem in my life and I notice it is consistently a problem, I won't just leave it. I won't just wish that it would...

In this episode, Brian joins Allie to talk about how they remain so close and keep intimacy alive, even with one thousand children. With February, the month of love, right around the corner, the topic will largely circle around love, intimacy and marriage. However, this particular episode comes from the many questions Allie receives from her followers. People often ask how Allie and Brian remain t...

On today's episode of The Purpose Show, we have Jenn Baxter, the founder of Live a F.A.S.T. Life , and author of a new book called Live a F.A.S.T. Life . Jenn's mission to live a F.a.s.t. (F.a.s.t. = Fabulous, Abundant, Simple, and Tiny) life began after her mom past away back in 2013. Her mom was a worrier by trade, and spent the better part of her 73 years holding back in life because of fear. J...

Creating a family mission statement is a really great way to lay the foundation for what your purpose is as a family. It outlines the things you stand for and things you don't. A family mission statement is exactly what it sounds like, an intentional statement that you make together with your family. It encapsulates your priorities and your goals as a family. When parenting gets tricky, and your k...

Today's topic is something that I've been asked a lot about, but it's something that I've always struggled to share. I am opening the door for the first time on a very vulnerable, difficult and now, exciting part of me and Brian's story. It's something that I needed to get to a certain place in my life and heart, before I was really ready to open up and share. I've been feeling, for a few months,...

I get asked about capsule wardrobes A LOT. People watch my Instagram Stories or see photos of me on the blog and say things like, "I see you wearing lots of different things. It seems like you have a lot of clothes. How do you deal with that?" So, I just wanted to address it directly! I am a person who loves getting dressed. I love clothes, my wardrobe and having options. Being creative in this wa...

Words can be an incredible way of bringing positivity into your life and the life of your children. I've always been drawn to words. I can remember as a child and now as an adult looking back and realizing how special this was. I literally had a relationship with words. I'd make up stories. I'd take classic fairy tales and rewrite them into my own versions, I just loved being surrounded by words....

Having a morning ritual can completely change the flow of your day. Some morning rituals are all about productivity, getting things done before the kids wake-up, and others are more about self-care. There is no right or wrong when you create your routine, it all depends on what season of life that you are in. My morning ritual began when my husband was still working outside the home, as a way to b...

In today's episode, we're going to go deep into how we can treat our body with more love and gratitude. It is common for many moms to not even acknowledge or care for themselves, and I believe we need to change that. We need to be grateful for all of the things ours amazing bodies can do. The size of our bodies is unimportant, what matters is that you are caring for it in a way that makes you feel...

Happy New Year! In this episode, I'm taking you deep inside the exact goal setting process that I use to make and achieve massive goals. I frequently get asked how I am able to achieve so much in such a short amount of time, but there's no secret. Anybody can make their dreams a reality, you just need to set goals the "right way." Then, begin taking action to achieve whatever it is you want, by be...
