Imposter syndrome is the FALSE belief that your normal human feelings of anxiety, doubts, etc are because there is something wrong with you. Not true. You're fine. It's the belief that you're not already good enough that is the imposter. Not you.
Tune in this week to learn the simple strategies to break the mental habit of feeling like you're not good enough so that you can feel more confident, quit proofreading your emails multiple times, start speaking up, and enjoying your many accomplishments.

The truth of the matter is that, as a Mom, I worked myself out of a job.
They will always need my love. And I theirs. But they don’t need me. And there is a grief there that is true. Over the loss of identity.
I don’t regret building my life around them. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. But it's time to both acknowledge the impact I've had on my kids and to pick a new focus.
Sign up for my list here. You'll be the first to know about Project Joy and other great stuff.

I'm a big fan of maternal intuition (Mom's wisdom). But when are you being guided by intuition and when is it just a brain fart? An old story or unconscious bias? Tune in this week to learn a quick test to sort out when you're getting information that is helpful vs. following an unconscious bias that will hold you back.
We spring clean our houses. Empty our closets and sort out things that no longer fit. So let's give our brain the same opportunity to start the spring by letting go of old grudges, stories about our past mistakes and habits that we are ready to change.

We live in a world that is more conducive to anxiety than play. So play won’t necessarily feel good enough to entice you away from work until you rewire your brain for more joy.
Your brain will say "oh you can go do that when you send that email...finish the dishes..." (get your work done)
But your brain is a liar. She's a snake oil salesman. Your work will never be done. It will expand to fit your available time.
Tune in this week to find out why play doesn't feel more enticing and what to do about that.
Wanna play more? Need help with those pesky, joy-stealing thoughts?

You can give what you don't have. Moms do it all the time.
You read news stories of moms lifting hundreds of pounds when their kid is trapped. Or Ben Carson's mom making Ben and his brother write 2 book reports a week for her, even though she couldn't read!We moms are resourceful and I love that about us.
But all that giving causes us to go into a kind of Mom debt. This week, I'll unpack what that is and how to not let Mom Debt spin out of control.

My family had a recent "hiccup" that turns out is very common mishap with the young adult crowd. And it showed me how far we've come.
So often parents come to me thinking that I'm going to take their problems away.
Nope. I would if I could but that's not real life.
I'm going to teach you how to stay connected to your own wisdom so that you can do what YOU know needs to be done. Sounds worse, but I promise it's better.

How can you tell, before you click, if an article is going to be helpful to you? Or will it just leave you feeling worse?
Listen this week as I deconstruct 2 articles in real time that purport to answer the same question - Why do kids of good parents struggle? Both articles leave their reader worse off but in completely different ways.
By deconstructing them, I'll show you the tricks they use to get you to click, lull you into a sense of safety and then gut-punch you with guilt.
