You Are Worth The Work

Hey Busy Moms! Are you feeling like your tech is more of a distraction than a tool? I'm diving deep into how our digital devices might be swiping valuable time from our lives.

Welcome y'all to the great debate! Lead is better because you don't have to look at a screen! Digital is better because you can sync multiple calendars...even have events added when you buy your tickets because of "add to your calendar" options. But what if I told you you could do both? I went to bat for team paper and I went to bat for team digital. Depending on your life and le...

Tis the season to get burnt out. With the “holiday hustle” upon us, it’s easy to feel spread too thin. This is the time of the year when co workers may be taking extra time off, kids will be out of school but you still have to work, and it goes up a notch if you are hosting a get together. No worries, Sis… I got you! In this episode I want to encourage all the women out there to call a spade a spa...

Be boring! Repetition is boring but you are worth it. When you continue to do the same thing it's like you are paving a road in your brain, so that pretty soon you are just on autopilot. I was recently asked by my boss for feedback and I got to thinking about my best way of learning which is repetition. I work with a lot of people who are wanting change. How do you make change happen? Repetiti...

What could go wrong when you drive across state in an electric car? Lots, but this time, nothing. I decided to attend a convention for parents of multiples. I have the good guys (currently 8-year-old boy twins.) And I have finally warmed up to being in large groups of people which equates to chaos to me. So, I convinced my friend who also has twins to join me! We drove my electric car and I shared...

PTO...prepare the others, LOL. When you take your PTO (paid time off) you usually prepare your co-workers for your absence. Ok, so now you are home...now what? It's so weird, right? That time to yourself to do whatever you want or need to do. Do you feel guilty? I know I normally do! Well in this episode I tell you all the other things you can be doing with your time, other than feeling guilty...

I'm looking forward to reading the new murder mystery book I picked up. When was the last time you selected a book to read, a book you planned to read for fun? I'm challenging myself to read more for pleasure because I want to and because I want to be an example to The Good Guys, my twin boys. I want them to know the relaxing pleasure of reading, not for work, to learn, or for school. Ther...

"My healthy swap was yogurt with, you know, 56g of sugar!" LOL Shelby, a Certified Strength Coach (CSCS) and nutrition coach (PN), joked this with me as she shared how she went from working in a restaurant, being a heavy drinker and smoker to a popular blogger talking all things health. There was no specific pivotal moment she simply wanted to be healthier. Whatever that meant, just heal...

Mama's now is your time! I want you to think about what you said, over the summer, that you wanted to do once the kids were back in school. Hopefully, you have established or practiced what the school day morning will look like now that some schools are and some are getting ready to be back in session. I shared how we did it and maybe it can help you. But I also pointed out that when you have...

Think about this...You have to know you are worthy of love before you can begin to give yourself love. You won't prioritize most of these chilling out tactics when you don't think you are worthy of a break, a self-care day, a new plant, or whatever self-love and care look like to you. Angela D Coleman shared lots of ways to chill out including her favorite - a scheduled break. She loves to...

It probably comes as no surprise that the book “The Art of Chilling Out” was born, not conceived, but born during Covid. Like many others, Angela D. Coleman was using chilling out techniques to de-stress. And wouldn’t you know it, she finally had time to get pen to paper. There are 100+ ways to chill out in this book. You don't want to miss Angela sharing how to incorporate multiple practices...

"Mommy you should talk about spending time with us because you are always in our room," said one of my sons. But the more I thought about it, he was right! I try to be intentional and spend time with my sons. I have tried my best to create a safe space where they can talk to me and I can get to know them better. I want you to create these special pockets of time where you too can intenti...

Y'all in the thick of tournament season? Or do you know what I am referring to in the sport your kids participate? I'm thankful for this last tournament but I am ready to be done too! I love the benefits the good guys glean from being a part of sports but mama needs a break, LOL. It's so important, as we show up to the hotels and/fields, to remember to extend ourselves grace. I wanted...

We continued our conversation about finding yourself again in your wardrobe, in your style. Amber is a styling specialist and appreciates how as mamas we just throw on a t-shirt and go on with our days because to some extent we start to feel invisible. Like, what does it matter what I wear? But as mamas, we have to remember we are people too, that had an identity before becoming mamas. Rediscover...

Ever thought of meeting new friends as a Blind Date? Well, that's exactly how I met Amber. A mutual friend of ours set us up. It's the best blind friend date we've ever been on. We connected instantly and have been doing life along side each other ever since. We take care of each other, inspire and encourage one another. We are the loudest cheerleaders as we each try our hands at side...
