When I saw this quote from Eckhart Tolle that I opened the podcast with, it really hit me. It hit me so hard that it inspired thoughts to spew out of me that I felt would be very pertinent to so many. It is so important to remember that we are not our emotions. I realized that a couple of weeks ago, I fell prey to personifying the way I was feeling. I began to identify with it. I felt like it was part of me. I had forgotten that f...

We know how important it is to teach emotional regulation to our children. But parents, you better know how to emotionally regulate before you can teach it to your own children. Remember, so much more is caught than taught in our parenting world. Here is the link I promised to follow along with: https://cls.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3019/2016/06/Chain-Analysis-Worksheet.pdf I have decided to do a series on emotional regul...

This podcast is for the self-help junkie. I have definitely been there. That hit of dopamine every time you hear the latest and greatest strategy is exquisite. So, you seek more and more and more. You've got the latest audiobook and 3 others queued and ready to go. You've got your ticket to a couple of retreats, and your nose in a few self-help books. But, is there true growth? Is there improvement? Is all the "trying" getting yo...

In this podcast I talk about how difficult communication is between anyone who seems to be the cause of pain for you. What would happen if you were asked to give a speech and while you were walking up about to deliver it, you totally stubbed your toe? Would you be able to talk right away? Would you have the senses to say everything as planned? Not at all...you'd definitely need some time to compose yourself. Same goes for our emo...

To all my single moms out there, this message is for you. Single dads, just substitute dad for mom and listen on father's day. :) :) * Why does Mother's Day shortly after a divorce feel weird or different? I hope it doesn't for you, but just in case, I shared my perspective which I believe many share. * It is interesting that once divorced, you fall into the category of Single Mom. Isn't that nice that society has a new na...

I've got a little secret to share in this podcast that you might not be ready to hear. So, when you're ready...go listen! You won't regret it. * This podcast actually stems from a time in my life when I was struggling and I kept asking my mom for advice. "Tell me your secrets!" I'd say. "I want to know." She would keep telling me I wasn't in the right frame of mind to hear it yet and kept putting me off and putting me off. ...

This is truly the come back kid story. If you feel a lack of motivation or continuation or cultivation or any -ation, come listen to this interview I have with my friend, Jordan Keith (@jordandkeith). * We are talking fitness, health, physical journey today folks, and boy this guy has had one...and a few.

In this podcast, I interview Noelle McBride, @c.noellemcbride author of "Beauty for Ashes: Divorce and the Latter-Day Saint Woman." I believe this is the first book of its kind!

The struggle ...

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? You just have lost your passion and vision. You may still feel happy, but things are just meh. That emoji is getting used more and more by you. Haha * I found myself here and then did something to break out of it that has been life changing. Yeah, yeah, sounds cliche and life coachy. I get it. But, hey, it worked for me big time and it will work for you, too. * Hop on the podcast t...

In this podcast I interview my oldest daughter Izzy. I thought it could be beneficial to go to the source and ask how her experience has been with going between two households. * I can imagine that having four parents might feel a little much at times, but Izzy handles it great. She's a wonderful oldest sister to all her siblings and is a great example. * I love how she explains having two houses as such a great way of livi...

You guys ready to hear more about setting goals? Ok, ok, we all know how to set them. Start broad, narrow them down, make them actionable and doable. * But...HOW DO WE MAKE THEM LAST? There's some statistic going around that says in 2 weeks from the beginning of the year 90% of us stop following our goals. Ok, so that number grows every time I hear the statistic. Whatever it is, that is lame! We are better than this. * ...

Nobody likes to bring up tough subjects. If you are anything like me, you'd rather throw dirt in your eyes. But there really is a much much easier way to go about engaging in one. * What about offering apologies? Is it awkward or actually empowering. How about receiving apologies? * Whether we're trying to communicate in marriage, coparenting, or whatever the case may be, I've come across some little communication hacks tha...

In this podcast I share what I feel are the top TEN things people forget to include in their divorce decrees. When writing a parenting plan, it's hard to look into the future and have things laid out especially when your kids are young. * You're probably not thinking about cell phones, extra curricular activities let alone college. How does this all play out as the years go by? * Tune in and find out what you might be missi...

What do you do if one parent will not give permission for your child to be baptized?

Having the Gift of the Holy Ghost is probably life's most precious gift. We sometimes forget we even have it, though. We have GOOGLE where we can get all our answers, so we forget we have the greatest direction ever! * Our world is obsessed with self help books, diets, blogs, smoothies, gurus, podcasts (um ya, that's me). Everywhere you turn someone has the answer or strategy you need to feel better, be better, look better, dr...

This podcast is for all my self-helpers out there. The green smoothie drinking, morning routiners, goal setting, self-improving friends. Sometimes we all get into funks where our usual strategies don't seem to be working. At those types of moments, I ask (in my best Chandler from Friends voice) "Could it BE more simple?" * With so much content and self help in the world, we can miss the mark. We make things more complicated, ...
