Mom Boss Tribe

Hey again, mama!   Excited to have you back this week...first podcast of 2019! I'm helping you deep dive today.  This episode if for you if you feel stuck, in a funk, overwhelmed, or in a rut.  Maybe you've felt that way before, or maybe you have even followed a pattern. I help you begin to understand what your thoughts and internal dialogue might be having to do with your funk, and if you see a pattern unfolding of feeling in a funk, do things to get out of a funk, feel better temporarily, feel back down in a funk, rinse, and repeat all the live long day.   In today's episode, I'm helping you uncover WHY you might be in a funk, and how to begin sorting it out, mmmmkay?  I'll touch more on this in the very near future.   But for now, today we deep dive:  - on WHY the funk is there  - on WHY maybe what you've done so far isn't getting you anywhere permanently  - on WHY you will want to start asking better questions of yourself to unfunkify  Resources outlined in the podcast:  - Mom Boss Tribe private group (de

Hey mama! On this episode, I'm sharing what things fell by the wayside a bit in 2018 and why I'm picking them back up in 2019.   Fair warning - this is a little more convo than structure.  That felt good to me today, to just let it flow versus try to structure the shit out of this episode :) I share how I have THREE things I'm focusing on in 2019 (and well, I started early), and then deep dive on ONE focus and how I'm breaking it into specific actionable steps.   I would LOVE to hear what your focus is!  Tell me!  We are all ears inside the Mom Boss Tribe! Also...I have ONE spot left for 1:1 coaching in January!  This you?  More about it here.

Ever find yourself quitting on it all in December, and throwing all your eggs into the New Year basket? Yeah...... This episode is ALL ABOUT my lessons of 2018, the ones I didn't know I needed to learn but ultimately DID learn, and the pep talk I'm giving you because of it.   Don't quit on yourself, mama!  We have TWO WHOLE WEEKS left of 2018 to prioritize our wellbeing, our intention, our emotions, our self care.  Let's finish out the year ON OUR TERMS and start 2019 ON OUR TERMS.

Hey mama! I'm sharing one not so glamorous piece of self care today.  Rather, how I use journaling to see patterns - so I can see how I'm growing internally, and well, if I find I'm writing out the same busted shit month after month....it's time to figure out where I'm not owning my shit.   So today's episode is all about: 1) How you got where you are 2) How we typically avoid feeling like we are feeling or facing what we are feeling 3) How we change what we need to change out of it I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this episode! Resources mentioned inside this episode: Thrive Like A Boss - my self paced "how to self care" online course 1:1 coaching with me, the mama who was been there, felt there, and changed her mindset, and ultimately, her bullshit stories  - DM me on Instagram if this is for you before I tell the rest of the world later this week!

You know when you are in a FUNK and feeling like life is happening to you, and you are reacting to everything and just.....a little 'meh' about it all? Here's what I would do, mama.  Check your thoughts. Did you know that the things you are thinking becoming the things you are saying eventually?  And did you know the things you say become your reality? So, if you don't like your currently reality, where is a good place to start?!?!  The beginning!  Start with your thoughts! In this episode, I'm sharing the single biggest helper I use to change thoughts - the What If statement.  Special thanks to Mom Boss Michelle for sharing how she is What-If'd herself from feeling overwhelmed and like workouts were impossible to fit in to moving 20 minutes a day and feeling great! Share this episode with a mama who needs to get herself out of her funk!   Oh, and drop me a review if you wouldn't mind!   And, if you aren't in the Mom Boss Tribe Facebook group, what are you waiting for, mama?

Mamas! I'm so freaking excited to help you start a self care practice if you haven't already done so!   However "woo" self care sounds, it's been the catalyst for me trusting myself, feeling confident, and taking action on things I would have never taken action on....if I didn't self care.  How cool!

We are talking cycles, today, mama!  Get excited, lol!! So, ever wonder why you feel superhuman sometimes and like you literally can't even sometimes?   I love nerding out on how I feel physically and mentally based on my cycle.  Seriously.  Here's how it goes down... Day 1-3/4 SUPERHUMAN.  Can move mountains - literally and figuratively.   Day 3-14.  Confident, even keel.  Have energy and it's stable.   Day 10-14.  Dreamy, creative, can create super intricate and amazing things. Day 15-28.  A mix of I'm doing alright and holy shit, I literally can't even.   What about you?   So this episode is all about how I self care during these phases of my cycle, and helping you figure out what it might look like for YOU based on where you are.   Oh, and if you have not checked out the Mom Boss Tribe FREE Resource Library....what are you even doing with your life?!?!  Ha!  

The mamas in the Mom Boss Tribe private group voted, and they wanted this episode up STAT.   So, I've been chatting about self care a ton in the Mom Boss Tribe and on the podcast.  Self care seems to be this elusive thing, where it's all rose petaled bubble baths by candlelight (and sometimes, it actually is those things), but it's so much more than that.   In this episode, I'm sharing how I set unscheduled time for our family, which was basically family self care.  But I also talk about how to do it for yourself, and even how to know WHEN you need to make the executive decision and do something like this.   I also talk about the two biggies that I learned from "making the executive decision" on this one - learning how to BE FLEXIBLE with it (so you don't get stressed out and pissed off from this act of self care, lol), and also learning how to COMMUNICATE IT (IE - don't assume people can read your mind like I did).   I'm ALL EARS on if you do this one, mama, and what that looks like FOR YOU!  Talk to me!   O

Ever heard the term Mom Bod? I did a few years ago, through a fitness ad basically trying to sell me on the fact that my body, which grew and carried my kid, now needed to be fixed because it had tummy skin, cellulite, body fat, and stretch marks....the markers of a supposedly broken "mom bod." You know I don't subscribe to that shit.  And my biggest belief is that we mamas have a tendency to feel like we are in need of fixing when.... We feel icky about our bodies or something about our bodies. Or feel betrayed by our body or out of touch with our body when.... We feel beaten down mentally. Our self worth or self confidence is in the tank. Our body doesn't FUNCTION like it used to.   Here's the thing, mama.  Only identifying with an icky body with cellulite or a poor functioning body that leaks....IS NOT YOUR IDENTIFY.  It's only a characteristic. And digging a bit under the hood and figuring out WHY things feel and are the way they are?  BIGGEST MOST BADASS THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF!   In this episode I

Feeling like a anxious stress bucket, mama?   Yeah....in today's episode, I'm sharing all about how I'm a recovering mama control freak (will ALWAYS be in the process of recovering), and one silly piece of control I let go of (or try to let go of) that helped me be a little happier and a little more present. We shall see, by the end of today's episode, you will either be like ME TOO, or.....I will have pissed you off, ha!   I would LOVE to hear how you've let go of control, even if it's a teensy bit, and how it made you feel AND what you learned in the process.  Share inside the Mom Boss Tribe private group?  

Hey mama!  Welcome back! You know when you are living and breathing taking care of kids, and sometimes you just need to stop and reflect on what ACTUALLY matters? Yup, I polled some mamas with big kids and grown kids last week in the #MomBossTribe Facebook group on what advice they would share to those of us going through the early stages of motherhood right now. They swooped in and shared their wisdom, and cut right through the bullshit.  It was amazing.  Their advice?  RELAX.  Embrace the crazy.  RELAX.   There is so much wisdom to share in motherhood.  Us in the early stages can feel like we are just lost in it all, but there are moms who have survived, lol....and KNOW that there is important stuff to REALLY focus on.  I'm so happy they shared it.  If you want to see the exact outpouring of this awesome advice, you can find it here.   If you aren't already, join us inside the #MomBossTribe. We are REAL moms.  And we are here to support YOU.

Hey Mama! I'm jokingly calling today's episode "How To Eat Like A Mom Boss" because, well....it seems the world is obsessed with eating in a way that has to have a name. AKA...I'm doing Herbalife, I'm doing Keto, I'm gluten free, I can't eat that because that's not Whole30 approved. We are SO WRAPPED UP in calling our eating something, or eating a certain way....AND TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT IT because it  makes me feel better for taking charge of my health.   But really, is't that a TRAP?  Aren't we now giving all of our credit for hard work to some diet, meal plan, or whatever? Here's your homework: 1) Listen to the episode 2) Tell me where YOU are at in your eating journey inside the #MomBossTribe private group!  I'm ALL ears! 3) Grab #20under20 - my FREE meal system that gets you 20 healthy in tasty recipes in under 20 minutes! 4) Stay tuned.  Mind Body Boss enrollment opening is happening Thursday for my email tribe.  Be on the watch in your email inbox on THURSDAY, mama :)

In this episode, I'm diving into protein shakes.  Do I hate them?  Do I love them?   HAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm gonna outline exactly why I always say "it depends" when it comes to supplementing with protein.   By the way, just because you drink a protein shake doesn't guarantee that you are healthy.  AND, if you DON'T drink a protein shake, it doesn't mean you are missing out.  So let's talk through this and get to the nitty gritty! Check out my #20under20 FREE meal idea guide if you need some help putting together quick, healthy, AND tasty meals that contain protein!   Oh, and join us inside the #MomBossTribe private group to dive deeper on troubleshooting your protein intake this week :) And hey, mama....if you would be so kind as to drop me a review on my podcast, I'd be grateful FOREVA.

This episode was a request from a mamas inside the Mom Boss Tribe private FB group (join us!  it's free!). Having ZERO personal experience with the Keto Diet, I reached out to two mamas inside the group who DID, and they shared their stories.   Here is their account of keto, and some things to think about along the way.   Also, here are two helpful resources I mention in the episode: Precision Nutrition's article on Keto My #20Under20 Meal Guide Hey mama, would you be so kind to leave me a review on this episode AND share it with a mama in your life who might need to hear about keto?  I'd very much appreciate that.  It helps me help OTHER mamas out there.  

Hey Mama! Ummmmmm food and fitness used to be a slippery slope for me.  I was the queen of wanting to beast in the gym, but eat like a bird....300 calories or less, yo, or I felt like hell about eating it.   Can you relate?  In this episode, I'm talking all about how women (including mothers) sabotage their fitness with food, and don't even realize they are doing it.   I would LOVE your thoughts on this episode!  Leave me a review!  Also, be sure and join us in the #MomBossTribe private group so we can chat about this very thing :)

Hey Mama! This week I'm sharing how I used to sabotage my fitness (AKA, make it REALLY FREAKING HARD) with the "shoulds."    - I SHOULD burn 1000 calories or this doesn't count.  - I SHOULD workout 6x per week or it's freaking pointless. Uh, the shoulds make fitness MISERABLE. What say YOU?  How is fitness for you right now?  Pop into the #MomBossTribe private group and chat with us about it!
