In this episode, we’re diving deep into the powerful phrase “They watch them, they study me” and what it means for moms striving to strengthen their mindset and hold themselves accountable as role models for their children. While outside influences—peers, media, and even family members—may play a role in shaping our kids, it’s our actions, attitudes, and reactions that leave the most lasting impact.
Join me as we explore how to embrace this truth, even when it feels overwhelming, and how to use it as a guiding principle to set a strong, positive example for your kids.
Understanding that while peers and media might capture their attention, your example shapes their character. How to focus on what you can control and let go of what you can’t. Using the phrase “They watch them, they study me” as a grounding mantra to respond with intention. Kids may watch others around them, but it’s your actions they truly study and emulate.Ready to Strengthen Your Mindset?
Tune in now to hear how “They watch them, they study me” can empower you to show up as the mom you want to be—even in a world full of strong influences.Let’s Stay Connected:

What to appreciate: Practical examples to notice and honor what your spouse is doing right.

In this episode, I share a raw and honest moment we commonly find ourselves in as moms.
I talk about a challenging experience where I put myself in a dark room to help my baby fall asleep, only to find myself overwhelmed by the situation. As I reflect, I realize how I resisted help, even when it’s offered, and how the victim mindset took me under for a few moments.
Explore the importance of recognizing when we’re stuck, learning to regulate our emotions, and accepting support when we need it. Join me as I talk about the power of resetting, self-compassion, and the choices we can make to empower ourselves on this journey of motherhood and personal growth.

When you choose to view all that is happening as something that you need, you start learning A LOT very quickly.
I completely thought I was in labor and called our family 2.5 hours away so they could be there for it, only to have every contraction stop by 11:00 pm! I felt so disappointed and like I had let everyone down or wasted their time... which is NOT how I want to spend the last bit of my pregnancy.
Fortunately, I have more tools and landed on three refreshing perspectives that lifted me up by the very next morning. I'm opening up and sharing those with you here so that people pleasing tendencies are something you can actively work on overcoming too!

I don't want my first thoughts to be negative and swimming in the "happening to me..." mentality. Yet, sometimes they are.
Here's a question I ask myself that lifts me up and out of that victim mentality and sets me on the high road of being who I WANT to be, no matter where I go or who I am with.
This one might feel challenging to take in so know
1. I LOVE YOU and all people in your life and mine.
2. We are meant to be challenged.
3. If it feels hard it's probably because you need to do it.

It seems a bit odd to me that when I share about serving seamlessly, the biggest objections that come up against it are fear based thoughts around "doing too much."
Doing too much for our kids, spouse and others.
Seamless service is not about doing everything for someone else. It is taking opportunities to serve others well when and how you can. To see a need and fill it with the same attitude you want your kids to have when they see a need to fill.
We need the right attitude married to our behaviors!
Enjoy this episode to nudge your perspective into new open territory that breathes life and change into your attitude.

How will I get my kids to listen.
How will I get them to get along with each other.
How will they be okay in the world we have today?
How will I know I did right by them?
Trying to control "how" and "when" will leave you swimming against a raging current of negative thoughts. It's completely hopeless and exhausting.
Today we are unpacking the faithful thought "Trust that it will rain." As well as what it would look like as a journaling prompt with several examples.
Truly, this fresh perspective has been shedding layers of fear and anxiety for me and I know this sweet relief is too good to keep to myself.

On a recent family trip I got to take the role of "that mom" on an airplane. The one that holds a screaming baby while battling the negative thoughts in her head, swimming in the victim mentality and even making a snarky comment to her husband.
That was me AND I didn't let it end there.
I'm sharing the mindset I used to practically realize where my thoughts were at and what I needed to do instead so I could be who I want to be no matter where I am or who I am with.
This is completely possible for you, too!
If you're noticing a lot of negative thoughts in your mind then you need to use Alignment Journaling to set them straight on a proactive and consistent basis!

Have you ever had a "I'm going to spray him with the hose! That'll teach him..." kind of moment where you feel so, so frustrated at the choice your child made and the reaction is to do something that could be pretty mean?!
I have, that's what I'm sharing here today.
The mean and negative thoughts that swirled my mind.
The complete urge to grab my son and spray him down.
The clear display of anger on my face.
All of that going on and what I chose to do instead that I hope plants a seed in your mind and more hope in your heart for what is possible for YOU and YOUR motherhood.
This is good work we are doing.
If you need MORE help getting your mindset into a place that can slow the moments down and see your actions aligned with the mother you want to be, then you need to journal.
Use the Alignment Journaling Course to start a daily 5 minute practice that equips you to do better than before.
All my best,

My youngest son recently burnt his hand to the point of second degree burns covering his palms and fingertips, and I immediately knew it was something I could have prevented. The mom guilt was intense and the night was long for us.
