You are BOSS at getting things done and checking the boxes. You make things happen, often with ease, at least from the outside looking in. Cool as a cucumber…as long as things are going according to plan…YOUR plan. But when those strong willed kids of yours butt up against your carefully crafted plan and vision for how things will go, that’s when the meltdowns start…theirs and yours…as anxiety rises, your heart starts to race, and you feel OUT OF CONTROL.
Join us today on the Joyful Mamahood podcast as we chat about control, practicing the pause, and how slowing down saves time. I’m also sharing 6 tips you can try the next time your kiddo is having a meltdown.

No rest for the weary…
What if that’s the problem? What if we are weary because we see rest as a luxury and not as a necessity.
Rest = Restoration.
As ambitious moms, who want to do everything with excellence, the belief that we have to be doing something runs deep.
We constantly rush from one thing to another and back again, priding ourselves on our ability to multitask, but wondering why we are exhausted and our to-do list is never done.
What if there is another way?
What if the way to get more done more efficiently without compromising a job well done is actually found in rest?
And what if more time, more energy, and more present, connected relationships is a side effect of that rest.
Join me as we explore the concept of rest as restoration and the benefits that come with prioritizing that.

Keeping our kids safe in a world that can seem incredibly scary at times while also letting them be kids is a top priority for every parent. In this episode, Kim sits down with Carrie Conran of Beating Disaster to talk about effective prevention methods to keep our kids safe without instilling a spirit of fear of unnecessary anxiety in them (or in us).
We talked about how to let our kids be kids without being helicopter moms, how to make them a hard target, so they are undesirable to the people we don’t want wanting them, the importance of not “scaring our kids straight, playtime as a powerful tool for teaching kids about boundaries, safety, and self-protection, and what to do when your kids are exposed to inappropriate content online.
We dug into how common parenting methods, while well-intended, could inadvertently make kids more vulnerable and what to do instead, and how being fully present and caring for ourselves as moms contributes to the overall safety and well-being of our kids.
You may want to pop you ear buds in for this episode. There is nothing inappropriate, but we do talk about some things that could create a spirit of fear in little listeners.
Let’s get started!

Grow up. Stop playing around. Act your age. Stop being so silly. From the time we were little, we’ve been inundated with messages that have conditioned the playfulness out of most of us.
Then you throw in the serious business of raising kids, keeping them alive, making sure they are well fed, respect their elders, make good choices, don’t get hurt, are kind to others, get good grades, do their chores, pick up their messes, all while we rush around to get them where they need to be, care for our homes, and try to balance work, volunteering, our marriages, and a social life, while barely being able to care for our basic needs is enough to snuff out whatever ember of playfulness might still be left, hiding deep inside.
It's no wonder we feel uptight. In this episode of the Joyful Mamahood podcast, we are rekindling that little light within you that longs for things to feel lighter and more fun as we cultivate a spirit of fun within ourselves and our families.

Your kids resist cleaning up after themselves, putting away their laundry, getting ready for bed, and a whole host of other responsibilities.
You get frustrated, thinking this is something that is SO simple and they should just be able to do it without you even asking, but at least with just a gentle prod.
Instead, they resist and resist and resist, so you nag, threaten, or punish. What if there were a different way?
In this episode I walk you through getting down to the root of the resistance, so everyone gets their needs met and the job gets done and share what that looked like in action in my family recently.

We all know how it feels to juggle numerous roles as moms, from caretakers to professionals, multitaskers, mom taxis, chefs, cleaners, chaos coordinators, household managers, homework finders, boo-boo kissers, and calendar keepers.
In this fast-paced world, chock full of societal and familial conditioning, as well as external and internal expectations, it's easy to overlook our own needs and well-being because we just don't have time.The truth is, you have time for everything that is a priority to you, but as moms, we're often caught up in a cycle of constantly saying 'yes' to everyone and everything, spreading ourselves thin in the process.
In this episode, we continue the conversation around boundaries, shifting into one of the most important boundaries busy moms need to create more peaceful, connected, and harmonious homes.
Boundaries around our time.I'll be sharing 3 reasons moms struggle with not having enough time, 5 steps to align how you spend your time with your values and priorities, and revealing how creating (and honoring) healthy boundaries helps us reclaim our time for the activities that nourish our souls and ensure that we have time for everything that is a priority for us.

Do you walk into a room and find yourself completely overwhelmed with the amount of stuff in it? Piles on the counter, dishes in the sink, toys on the floor.
From cluttered closets to overflowing garages, our possessions often have a way of encroaching upon our mental and physical spaces. It makes us feel edgy, irritable, and overwhelmed and adds to the already heavy mental load we carry as moms.
We end up at a place where we don’t even want t be at home, so we go to a place that makes us feel better.
We go to Target, grab a Starbucks, and walk around, avoiding the stuff that needs to be done, thinking about how behind we are, but this is self-care, right? We deserve that "me time" after all.
We put things in our carts for a dopamine hit that makes us feel really, really good in the moment, but then we bring that stuff home and we just add to the chaos and the clutter.
That new toy we thought was going to make our kid happy is tossed aside 5 minutes later and the new body wash that you got because it smelled so good, is now in your shower and the other one that is only ¾ of the way done is now sitting on your already cluttered counters because there is no room for it in your overflowing cabinets, but it's too much to just throw away.
In this second episode of our series about boundaries, we will uncover the secrets to transforming our relationship with stuff, reclaiming our space, and finding the freedom that comes from establishing healthy boundaries.
