My kids are headed back to school soon, and they will be doing all sorts of assessments to see how they're doing in math and reading and writing. And this got me thinking: I need to do a series of mini-podcast episodes during this back-to-school season for moms to assess how they are doing, not with balancing equations or diagramming sentences (because I have a feeling most of us would fail those assessments 🥴), but to assess something way more important: our own levels of emotional wellbeing.Just like last week, this week, Monday-Friday, I will be publishing a mini-episode to introduce you to each of the principles I teach in my Self-Assured Motherhood course, a framework I created for overwhelmed moms. Each principle is an important part of emotional well-being and can help you in your personal assessment of how you're doing. Today's principle is Pursue Your Purpose. As you go along with this mini-series, you can use this self-assessment I've created to visually assess how you're doing in each of the principles we discuss. I hope you find this mini-series helpful as you take time to consider your own emotional well-being. I'm rooting for you! ***Announcements:Self-Assessment for Moms: Click here to download my FREE self-assessment to go along with each of the 9 principles we'll be discussing through the mini-series. **Everyone who downloads this assessment will receive a special discount for SAM!

Get ready for a thoughtful journey as moms are encouraged to assess their emotional well-being by voicing their values. Discover how understanding what truly matters can strengthen relationships with partners and children. Engage with personal anecdotes that highlight the transformative power of articulating values. Plus, a self-assessment tool is introduced to help moms evaluate their alignment with their core beliefs. This series is all about prioritizing well-being while navigating the back-to-school chaos!

The mental load of motherhood is heavy, and I am always on the lookout for ways to lighten it. Can you relate? A surprising discovery I’ve made throughout the years is how dramatic a difference knowing and voicing our values can make in lightening our mental load as moms. When we know ourselves well enough to know our core values, we are able to decrease stress and pressure and build up the structure and support that we need. Knowing our core values is key to avoiding mom burnout! I was really grateful to have the opportunity to discuss this at the Happy Mom Summit with JoAnn Crohn. In the interview, I discussed 3 ways knowing our values can help lighten our mental load, and I’m so excited to share them with you today. I absolutely loved being part of the Happy Mom Summit. I hope you find these takeaways helpful in lightening the mental load of motherhood! ***Announcement:Values Guide Workbook: Discover your personal values with my helpful and FREE Values Guide Workbook!

Values-based budgeting is the key to approaching personal finances without shame and guilt. Did you even think that was possible?! 🤯Money is one of those topics that brings up a lot of emotion - usually negative. Guilt, shame, stress, anxiety, frustration… It’s exhausting! We feel guilt and anxiety if we spend. We feel shame if we’re “too stingy.” We feel frustration at ourselves or our situations. Does this sound at all familiar? I can imagine you nodding in solidarity. If you’re struggling with the burden of all of these emotions, you’re going to love what Jen Smith has to say. Jen is a personal finance expert and co-host of the top-rated Frugal Friends Podcast. She is also the best-selling author of The No-Spend Challenge Guide and Pay Off Your Debt for Good.

Are you frustrated trying to figure out how to teach your kids to work?

How do I find the right balance!!??Thankfully, I was able to interview Danielle Porter. Danielle is a mother of six and someone I admire deeply because she's so careful and intentional in everything she does.
