Midnight Mama

Unprotected

This episode was heavy on my heart and could be triggering for some individuals.  Talk about suicide and homicide relative to the postpartum period for moms in response to the woman in Boston who allegedly strangled her children.  The podcast focuses on enhanced services, an angry mother, and our failure to protect one another.

Stuck in the Mud

Motherhood has its moments when we can feel like we are stuck in the mud. No matter how fast we spin our tires we aren't moving forward and we're becoming exhausted.  What if we were able to use these moments to our advantage and be able to spot the mud ahead of time?  Tune in and find out what I mean.

I’m Broken

I cannot tell you how many times I have felt this way, or worked with individuals who felt like this.  We often look at the breaking as something bad or limiting.  I challenge you to shift that train of thought using positive language to shape the way you look at these events.  The breaks HAVE to happen, and when they do, you can put yourself back together however you want.

The Wrong Directions

We are all guilty of seeking advice and direction from the wrong people at some point in life.  In motherhood, we always want to hear about a mom's experience before we embark on the journey, but we are selective in who we seek it from.  In this episode I talk to you about getting the right directions from the right people, and why that matters more than where you are headed.  

The Mental Load

We understand that becoming a mother requires a lot of work. It is going to physically exhaust us several times on our journey.  However, a little preparation for the mental load would have been much appreciated.  The unseen challenges and weight that we carry mentally, each day requires their own level of strength.  I will no longer justify WHY I am so tired at the end of each day and encourage you to follow suit.

Self-Awareness

As women, it seems we are always on the go.  Whether we are career-driven, family-focused, or something else, we rarely stop to rest, reflect, and recalibrate when needed.  In this episode I talk about possessing self-awareness and the ability to recognize where I am, both physically and mentally, to ensure I am getting the most out of myself.  

How They See You

In all of the seasons of life, we get wrapped up in wondering if we are doing a good job if our boss is happy if our kids are happy if our spouse is happy.  We lose sight of the fact that they don't see us the way we perceive, and if we started to recognize that sooner, we would put less pressure on ourselves to show up in ways that challenge us.  

Going Towards it

We have become conditioned to wait for opportunities or change to come to us, and in doing so we risk missing these chances or having them taken from us.  What if we learned to move towards what was coming to us in an effort to secure it sooner with more motivation?  Listen here and find out.

I was robbed

Have you ever felt like the experience you had with something wasn't what you thought it would be?  Did it make you feel as though you were robbed of something? Yea, me too.  Listen here to get the full story and some ways to offset those feelings and turn it into a well learned lesson.

Are you the challenge?

When things become frustrating or challenging, our knee-jerk reaction is to point blame and find who is at fault for our current situation.  In this episode, I talk about the possibility that you are the challenge that is preventing you from excelling.  Join along and learn how to identify this, and what you can put in place to maneuver out of the way of your happiness and success.
