    In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Marie Martin, the inspiring author of Get Your Spark Back and creator of the popular Finding Joy website. Rachel shares her journey as a lifelong entrepreneur, mother, and a woman who has overcome significant life challenges, including raising a child with celiac disease and navigating a divorce.

    We discuss the life-changing perspective that comes when your child is diagnosed with a serious illness, the concept of time wasters from her latest book, and how she built a successful business despite her struggles. Rachel also opens up about teaching her children the value of money and responsibility, and why she believes it’s so important for women to know they are never alone, especially during times of reinvention and finding new friendships.

    Rachel’s story is a heartfelt reminder that no matter the struggles, you can always find your spark again and thrive.

    We all have them - Goals! However, sometimes people can get caught up in a hustle culture trying to achieve their goals. Which in the end, leads to unhappiness.

    Today we are talking about:

    What happens once you achieve your goals? What is arrival fallacy?What is wrong with S.M.A.R.T. goals?

    One of the most important things that I want you to take away from today's episode is, don't tie your self worth to your goals. Happiness and self worthiness are not on the other side of goal achievement, so stop the hustle culture and achieve goals in a healthy manner.

    Today we are talking about the last phase in our Slow Parenting Series, the adult years and estrangement.

    Estrangement happens later in life when a family member cuts off another family member. This could be an adult child deciding to distant themselves from a parent or relative. Many times it is because the adult child is attempting to protect themselves.

    So... how do you keep your children from becoming estranged from you?

    Clinical psychologist Lindsay C. Gibson wrote the book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" where she talks about the four types of difficult parents. I am sharing with you more detail on these parenting types and how they can lead to estrangement in the adult childhood years.

    The emotional parentThe driven parentThe passive parentThe rejecting parent

    There are many ways to prevent them from becoming estranged, one of the most simple is having good communication. Say your sorry, show humility, and really work on yourself!

    Learn more about the four types of parents from Lindsay C. Gibson in her book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.

    The definition of disappointment is when your expectations don't meet the reality and this happens a lot of the time. Many times it happens when we have reached our capacity limit.

    Day to day your capacity can change, depending on many variables that you can't control.

    You are not a computer or a cell phone -- you're a human and "recharging" your battery isn't always super simple.

    Within this episode we talk about what you can do to recharge yourself and how to protect your boundaries from others who may be draining.

    I also talk about a "Bucket Filling" book that my children read in school -- and one that is a great metaphor for life.

    At the end of the day, you can really only rely on and control yourself.

    So go slow and Simply. Look. Only. Within.

  • This this episode of our Slow Parenting Series we are talking about emotional regulation and how we can teach this to our children.

    To be able to teach emotional regulation to your kids you need to be able to self regulate your own emotions. It is not healthy for children to be in an environment that their caretakers lash out in ways that they can't expect. So you need to take a minute a look within! Where you are is where you are, where you are is not where you want to be and where you want to go. Slow living is about taking steps to get to where you want to go.

    How do you teach emotional regulation to your kids if your not emotionally regulated yourself?

    How to implement in your own family?

  • As we continue through the Slow Parenting Series, let's take a pause and go back to the basics. The purpose of slow parenting is to slow down and thoughtfully and purposefully plan what is next. Today we are talking about school age readiness! Here are some key points that I want you to take away from this episode:

    You can go into things with a plan but also be prepared for those plans to changeSometimes what is best is to unplug from researching and just be presentKeep the end in sight, you are not raising children but you are raising adults

    I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and child psychology and have spent my entire adult life working with children and families.

    In this episode I share some ideas on how to best prepare your child for the academic, social, emotional, and physical aspects of full day school.

    For more information on school age readiness, you may enjoy reading some ideas I have on "afterschool homeschooling," here.

  • What does it mean to have a minimal mindset? We are talking about simple and actionable steps to get you there.

    My favorite acronym for SLOW is Simply Look Only Within and I use this in everything I do. In fact, it goes right along with my daily journaling guide that I am sharing with you today! In the journal, I talk about something called the Peace Pyramid which is comprised of 6 parts.

    When you are surrounded by clutter it affects how you feel on a daily basis. However, organization can give you instant relief and rescue from the overwhelm. Creating a daily schedule can also help you achieve your to do list in a more simpler way. These are all topics we are talking about in today's episode!

    Just remember, move forward with intention.

    Are you ready to create your own minimal mindset?
