187. Parenting Strong Willed Kids: Chores, Messy Rooms & Letting Go of "The Bad Guy" Role with Kirk Martin - Part 3
Hi Mamas,
We’re wrapping up our incredible 3-part series with Calm Parenting Podcast host Kirk Martin, and today we’re tackling the big challenges… chores, messy rooms, and why strong-willed kids seem immune to consequences. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your kids to pitch in around the house without constant battles, this episode is for you. Kirk shares why nagging doesn’t work, how strong-willed kids will always find a loophole, and why their messy rooms don’t predict their future success. We also dive into how to stop feeling like the “bad guy” in parenting and shift your mindset so you can guide your kids instead of battling them. The truth is, strong-willed kids are built to lead and create… they just want to do it on their terms. So take a deep breath… your child is going to be just fine.

184. Mindset Reset: How to Be the Calm in the Chaos: Parenting Without Power Struggles
Hi Mamas,
🚧Grab my FREE Boundaries Made Simple guide here!! 🚧
Parenting is full of unpredictable moments… meltdowns, defiance, and big emotions. But how we respond in those moments makes all the difference. This week’s episode is all about shifting from reaction to regulation—because when we meet chaos with calm, we teach our kids emotional resilience.
We’re breaking down one of my favorite quotes from L.R. Knost:
✨ “When our little people get overwhelmed by big emotions, it is our job to share our calm, not join their chaos.” ✨
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✔️ The #1 mistake parents make when handling big emotions (and how to fix it)
✔️ How to pause, regulate your own frustration, and set the tone for your child
✔️ Why validating emotions (instead of shutting them down) helps kids calm faster
✔️ How modeling emotional control teaches kids how to self-regulate
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is:
Practice one moment of calm when your child is overwhelmed. Instead of reacting, pause… breathe… and choose to be the calm in their storm. Then, reflect on how it changed the moment. Did they calm down faster? Did you feel more in control? Pay attention to the shift.
🔹 And get ready, because this week, we’re bringing in Kirk Martin from the Calm Parenting Podcast for a 3-part series on how to:
✨ Handle kids who don’t listen—without power struggles
✨ Get kids to take responsibility—without constant nagging
✨ Set boundaries and actually get cooperation—without yelling
This is a series you won’t want to miss!
I'd love to here what you learn from this challenge! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it… and maybe it will help inspire other moms, just like you.

183. The Secret To A Happier Marriage - Throwback!
Hi Mamas,
Grab my Boundaries Made Simple guide here!!
When we talk about work-life balance, we usually focus on time management, juggling work and kids, and keeping all the balls in the air. But what about our marriages?
If you're in a relationship, your marriage is the foundation of everything else. A strong, connected partnership doesn’t just make life easier—it creates balance in ways you might not even realize. When your relationship is thriving, parenting feels more manageable, work stress feels lighter, and your overall happiness improves.
But let’s be honest—nurturing your marriage often falls to the bottom of the priority list because there’s always an excuse:
❌ We’re too busy.
❌ We don’t have a babysitter.
❌ We’re exhausted by the end of the day.
❌ We can’t afford date nights.
But here’s the truth: You DO have the time. You DON’T need a fancy night out to reconnect. You just need to understand how your partner receives love and make small, intentional efforts to strengthen your relationship.
That’s exactly what today’s episode is about—how to show love in a way that actually resonates with your partner. We’re diving into the 5 different ways people express and experience love, and why this simple concept can completely transform the way you and your partner connect.
In This Episode, We’ll Cover:
✔️ Why marriage is a key part of work-life balance (even if you don’t realize it)
✔️ How to stop making excuses for not prioritizing your relationship
✔️ The 5 ways people give and receive love—and why they matter
✔️ How to figure out the way you want to receive love AND your partner’s
✔️ Small, free and easy ways to start showing love in a way that actually lands
Your Homework This Week:
I want you to take some time to figure out your love language and your partner’s. If you don’t know, make it a fun conversation—maybe even grab Dr. Chapman’s book as a last-minute Valentine’s gift!
And if you feel like you don’t have the time to nurture your marriage, let’s change that. I help busy moms like you find the time in their schedules for what truly matters. book a FREE discovery call and let’s chat!

181. Mindset Reset: Blessings or Lessons? How to Identify the People Who Lift You Up vs. Drain Your Energy
Hi Mamas,
Grab my Boundaries Made Simple guide here!!
Have you ever met someone who completely changed your life... either by lifting you up or by challenging you in ways you didn’t ask for? The truth is, every person we encounter is either a blessing or a lesson… and as busy working moms, we don’t have time to waste on relationships that drain us.
In today’s episode, we’re breaking down this quote that I heard while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie... yep, that's right!
“People come into our lives as a blessing or a lesson, and it’s up to us to figure out which is which.”
Let’s be real... some people bring nothing but love and joy, while others test our patience, challenge our boundaries, or even push us to grow in ways we never expected. But here’s the key: both types serve a purpose in our lives.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Blessings: The people who lift us up, support us, and bring joy to our lives
✔️ Lessons: The people who challenge us, test our patience, and help us grow
✔️ How to identify who belongs in each category and how to nurture or release those relationships
✔️ How to set boundaries with ‘lesson’ people (because not everyone deserves unlimited access to your energy!)
✔️ Why some people can be both a blessing and a lesson at different stages of life
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is:
Step 1: Take 10 minutes to list the people in your life right now.
Step 2: Separate them into two categories: Blessings and Lessons.
Step 3: For your blessings, show them gratitude this week—send a text, make a call, or simply say thank you. For your lessons, reflect on what they’re teaching you. Is it time to set boundaries? Let go?
I'd love to here what you learn from this challenge! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it… and maybe it will help inspire other moms, just like you.
