Fourteen Months in American Bastiles by HOWARD, Fr

"We are very good judges for the mistakes of others and very good defense lawyers for our own mistakes." -Nicky Gumble We live in a very judgmental mom culture, where there is always someone to let you know you're making a mistake or the wrong choice. Mommy judgement is alive and well, but what about also discussing our own judgements of others and ourselves? Today, I want to have an honest and open discussion about judgement. What it really means, where it really comes from and how we can start to pull away from people in our lives that have nothing but judgmental things to say to us on the regular.

Would you consider yourself a worrier? I used to be and call myself a recovering worrier now. After years of deep work, I know now that my worry was caused not by anxiety, but rather the opposite was occurring: my need to control situations was the cause of the anxiety I felt. Motherhood is a never-ending story of possible worry and overthinking about what could go wrong, but I've found that no amount of that overthinking makes it any easier and rarely do our worst thoughts even come true. Today's episode is my story and a vulnerable look into how it feels to live inside your own head even when you know logically how ridiculous it is. Want more from this episode?

Self-care is a hot issue right now in the motherhood community and rightfully so. Moms, more than any other, are often left feeling depleted as we care for those around us and make excuses for why we can't care for ourselves. No more. Today, I want to give you an honest and raw look at what I do everyday to care for myself above anyone else. When I'm at my best, I'm able to give my best. Although my family is my world, I will be with myself until the end and it's important that I care for my needs first so I can truly and without resentment care for others.

I can't even describe the ways my life positively changed when I started letting go of the need to control everything in my life and started practicing the fine art of surrender. Surrendering isn't about giving up, it's about accepting what is so you can take more inspired action. I know how easy it is to want to white-knuckle our way through motherhood, trying to control every aspect of our children and home, but if we can let go just for a moment, we will see the beauty in surrender and ease of true beingness.

Let's all just face it: we are living with far too much stuff. Too many things, too many options, too many obligations. My guest today is on a mission to provide more for moms by showing them how to live with less.

They say that patience is a virtue, but did "they" ever have kids? As a self-proclaimed impatient girl since childhood, I've seen the danger in living from a place of "Next, please. Hurry up!" Impatience strips us of the present moment. In this episode, I want to encourage you to take a breath and move through life with more ease and less expectation. We'd be amazed what we can enjoy and experience without the wait of expediency looming over our shoulders. Want more from this episode?
