Hello hello!

Thanks for being here everyone. Truly glad to have you back to listening to another episode of Mama, You're Okay podcast. If you are new here, welcome. I love sharing my journey and experiences as a mom, and the different tools and tricks that have helped me navigate the craziness of it all. 

Making vision boards was something that I didn't think I had in me to do, but now I truly love doing. In this episode, I talk about why I started, how I do it, when do I do it, the different ways to do them, and the benefits of manifestation and visualization. I am a visual person, so if I see something, I am more prone to act on it. Vision board time became my treasured time where I could sit down, relax, and just let inspiration gather around me. I hope you find a version that works for you. If you feel inspired, please share yours with me on the social media page @Mama_You're_Okay  on instagram, or Mama, You're Okay Facebook page.

Thank you, again, for being here, and mamas, remember, you are okay. 

Love

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Mama, you're okay! I am so glad to see you all back for another season of our podcast. If you are new, thank you so much for stopping by. The people who listen to my episodes are fun and lovely parents who are also tired and needing a place of reprieve and laughter to get through the day. Listen in and join me as I ramble on about things that I've gone through, have seen, and what I've learned. 

Today's episode is about Holidays, 2022. Wow, the 2 months flew but dragged at the same time. November and December felt like a never ending revolving door of sickness and appointments and holiday parties. But, we survived. You can laugh with me at ridiculousness and craze of the holidays, and, too, listen to me dissect my own toxic trait of why I was perpetually sick during it all and how I learned to escape it. If you relate to this, I hope you give yourself the grace to breathe and know you did your best. We can only learn and be the best we can be. 

I am sending all of the love and joy to you all as we start 2023. It's going to be a great one, I can feel it in my bones. Manifest with me: 2023 is going to bring joy, prosperity, and love to all. We will bring joy and love to all. We will bring joy and love to ourselves. 

Love, 

Ilyana 

Hi everyone!

Wow, as I typed those words into the title, it really hits me that I have been a parent for 3 years. My son celebrated his birthday recently, and as much as it is a mark of his existence, it is also the celebration of the parents for their growth and journey into this new life. Stephen, my husband, joins me in talking about our past 3 years: what we have learned, what we have enjoyed about each stage of our lives, and also an insight to the birthday parties we threw for our son. We also have a debate halfway through the episode about whether I was right or Stephen (I know there's team Ilyana's out there!) 

Needless to say, we had fun talking about our lives and how much it had changed. We love being parents, even though it is exhausting and trying sometimes. As I say in the beginning, I love being my son's mother, but being a mother can be hard. I have also learned to let go of the guilt, the guilt that I should be loving motherhood, by giving myself grace when I don't. That I am going through a hard phase right now and it too shall pass. If you are there with me, mamas, you are not alone and you are doing great!. 

Much love,

Ilyana
