oh this episode is sweeet, and I am hopeful that this is a practical approach that can change the way you parent and feel as a mother! I get it. That "no" that rushes to your mind when your kids ask a question like "can we buy this toy" or "mom, will you come swim?" Our mind loves to do what is easy and somewhere along the way, "no" has become the easy answer. Is it really easier though? Is it easier to say "no" or "yes?" This episode is unpacking how it IS (well, can be if you let it) easier to...

Have you ever thought that you need to provide heavy consequences and take things away in order to see better behavior in your kids? Me too! I also think that you have had some initial negative thoughts spouting off in your mind when you're witnessing that poor behavior, just like I have. Rest assured that I am here to share some mindset goodness in this episode by sharing a story that had one mama asking me "what about rewarding negative behavior? I feel like I need to have consequences and mak...

We are still going strong with this and (just yesterday) we were on a 7 hour flight with all three boys and only used a movie for 30 minutes!!! Can you even believe that because it is still blowing my dang mind. This is my personal preference and there is absolutely zero judgment for when and how you choose to give your kids screens. I noticed that I didn't like how often I was using it and there was difficult behavior coming up more often AND my kids were frequently asking to watch something. I...

Grab a pen and piece of paper and get really HONEST. Hold yourself accountable to who you are saying people are. Who do you say your husband, kids, in-laws, neighbors and friends ARE? What if they could only ever be who you say they are, would you change what you say to and about them. Remember the power of those "you are" statements and take the next step to building a world you want to see. I am proud of you! www.alignmentjournaling.com

oh my mama friend! I was facing heaps of natural consequences for myself last night after choosing the things I wanted to do over the things I needed to do. I did a 20 min workout at 8:30 pm and was journaling at 11:15 pm and stayed up connecting with my husband after he got home from his trip until 2:00 am! NOT MY NORMAL or my ideal, I am a in bed by 9:00 am kind of girl. However, I think it is very valuable to allow myself to experience natural consequences and hold myself accountable to doing...

Use this as your sign to step fully into your role as the leader of your life. Grateful that I got to create this life changing course for you to see the progress you want for yourself in life!...

I only do what I want to do each day. Even when doing the things I "need" to do before the things I "want" to do... I view it all as what I want to do and SO CAN YOU!! This is not a mindset that only works for "lucky people" and "perfect circumstances." This mindset will help you become empowered to show up and do the things you say you're going to do in your life, because you are now focusing on what you really want. It's January 11 and my first real day in my morning routine that I want for my...

A couple nights ago was a WOWZA kind of night in our home. Luke hit Liams let so Liam kicked Luke in the face, while I am cooking dinner, Marcus was cleaning the enormous silly string mess and we were "behind" our schedule.

Have you ever pulled weeds? I actually REALLY enjoy this task now but I used to short cut it when I was a kid. Makes sense why I struggled with my mindset and ACTUALLY healing! lol Anyway, when you pull weeds we know it is NOT effective to just pull off a leaf. It is also ineffective to cut the stem of a weed. What do we need to do to actually get rid of a weed? Get the wholllllle dang root out of there, which is the same as negative thought patters.

Your mindset matters and what you tell yourself is directly correlated to how you feel. "I am the default parent" and constantly seeing that everywhere... is it helping you? Maybe this "I am the default parent" mentality is actually strengthening the victim mentality that you are working so hard to overcome. This episode is designed to help shift your perspective on the "default parent." As always, I hope this serves you! You can join my waitlist to get the first details and enrollment opportuni...

The mental load of motherhood IS a real thing and I believe we all experience a version of it. You are so, so valid to feel the way you do right this second. However, as I have found a million descriptions of the "mental load of motherhood" and what it is... I haven't see tips, tools and strategies being shared about how to help ourselves through it. If anything I have noticed the constant push of descriptions and "relatable posts" to be littered with negative language that can describe the way ...

Lots of ideas added in for examples and pumping up YOUR empowerment to know you are never stuck. Love you dearly friends!

I know this story can be resonated with on how sometimes we need to "look again." Mindset applies to everything because you have thoughts about everything, and marriage is no exception! I personally apply mindset in my marriage just as intentionally as I do in motherhood and it is the only way I am truly able to be th...
