You are BOSS at getting things done and checking the boxes. You make things happen, often with ease, at least from the outside looking in. Cool as a cucumber…as long as things are going according to plan…YOUR plan. But when those strong willed kids of yours butt up against your carefully crafted plan and vision for how things will go, that’s when the meltdowns start…theirs and yours…as anxiety rises, your heart starts to race, and you feel OUT OF CONTROL.

Join us today on the Joyful Mamahood podcast as we chat about control, practicing the pause, and how slowing down saves time. I’m also sharing 6 tips you can try the next time your kiddo is having a meltdown.

No rest for the weary…

What if that’s the problem? What if we are weary because we see rest as a luxury and not as a necessity. 

Rest = Restoration.

As ambitious moms, who want to do everything with excellence, the belief that we have to be doing something runs deep.

We constantly rush from one thing to another and back again, priding ourselves on our ability to multitask, but wondering why we are exhausted and our to-do list is never done.

What if there is another way? 

What if the way to get more done more efficiently without compromising a job well done is actually found in rest? 

And what if more time, more energy, and more present, connected relationships is a side effect of that rest.

Join me as we explore the concept of rest as restoration and the benefits that come with prioritizing that.

Keeping our kids safe in a world that can seem incredibly scary at times while also letting them be kids is a top priority for every parent. In this episode, Kim sits down with Carrie Conran of Beating Disaster to talk about effective prevention methods to keep our kids safe without instilling a spirit of fear of unnecessary anxiety in them (or in us).

We talked about how to let our kids be kids without being helicopter moms, how to make them a hard target, so they are undesirable to the people we don’t want wanting them, the importance of not “scaring our kids straight, playtime as a powerful tool for teaching kids about boundaries, safety, and self-protection, and what to do when your kids are exposed to inappropriate content online.

We dug into how common parenting methods, while well-intended, could inadvertently make kids more vulnerable and what to do instead, and how being fully present and caring for ourselves as moms contributes to the overall safety and well-being of our kids.

You may want to pop you ear buds in for this episode. There is nothing inappropriate, but we do talk about some things that could create a spirit of fear in little listeners.

Let’s get started!
