How do I stay motivated locked at home?

Welcome back, I'm sorry I've been away so long - there was not peace and quiet during lockdown to share a podcast.

This one is still a little rough and ready - no more introduction and music - so I hope that you still enjoy!

I've also changed the name of my podcast from the 'Problem corner' to 'Turning Lemons into lemonade' - my theme will be about how to more gracefully navigate the ups and downs of life without being turned sour by the difficult days.

Over the coming months I will be interviewing other mums for their stories of how they turned Lemons into Lemonade and also be here to answer any of your questions - feel free to contact me on facebook or email Lisa@MummyWhisperer.com

Today I talk about the importance of celebrating when you feel sparkly as well as not resisting when you feel sad - it's so important for our well being to be more honest with how we feel.

I've created a free 'Stress and Anxiety' toolkit in my free facebook community.  We look at moving from Overwhelm, into being upset and emotional, from there into supporting our bodies more and then taking action.

This meditation is all part of the steps to calming ourselves when we are really upset.  First we listen to our emotions, then we dig deeper with journalling.  This healing meditation then helps us to let them go, so that we can move on - thus freeing us up to create our new reality.

Please do come and join the community and use this stress toolkit as often as you need it - unfortunately, it's likely to be more than once - but fortunately, by using this method, you'll be able to quickly transform how you feel and move forwards.

It's not just me available to support you in this group, but also several other businesses who specialise in helping Mums - like a one stop shop for mums, to help make your lives easier and less stressful.

I've talked to a lot of mums who are genuinely worried, because 2 months into lockdown in the UK and they still don't have a 'structure' or schedule and even more than usual are finding that the 'chores' are not getting done!

Well this is a positive spin on it - yes structure can relieve tension.  But from tension comes change ....

So many of us Mums are STILL beating ourselves up about not necessarily enjoying being 'locked in' with our kids & partners and not being the perfect 'Insta-Mum' - listen to this episode for a little swearing and a BIG reality check.

This episode is for those struggling with feeling totally overwhelmed and in a very dark place.

I explain that you need some external assistance, in order to move to the next 'stage' where we can look at your emotions.

So many mums have talked to me this week about the pressure of making the most of this 'opportunity' of having the kids home, and it's driving everyone crazy.

Frankly at the beginning of the week, it was driving ME crazy!

I include some tips on how to make sure it doesn't drive you crazy and lots more stuff that is on the way for you on my facebook page:

So i've had several mums reach out to me because they are overwhelmed by how much is now needed for them to grasp on the internet or social media.

Even more so are the small business owner mums looking to adjust or move their business online - but there seems to be so much and it all seems so difficult - email lists, zoom, online course platforms, facebook lives, which social media - argh!

So i'm sharing my tips on how to not be overwhelmed by it all and come out winning - plus my own personal story of how I ended up so technical - I was not a natural by any means!

For Small Business owner mums listening, you might be interested in my Business Club - there is more information here, but basically it will give you everything you need to adjust and come out of this challenge more resilient - and ONLY £4.50 per week, which is an incredible opportunity!

I'm always a big fan of having a very strong USP (unique selling proposition) for just ONE thing, aimed at just ONE market.

It's really important when you start a business, so that there is clarity for your potential clients/customers, so that they recognise you can help them.  But it's even more important at the moment with the current challenge, because there is so much going on, your USP has to be even clearer, and your life is so full that you yourself need your business to be more streamlined.

But how to do it?

Listen in to this podcast where I tell you how to do this from both the perspective of what will work for you and what will attract clients.

I also announce my new 'Mummy Whisperer's Business Clinic' - everything you need to be able to adjust your business and become more resilient, in ONE place - to save you time and money.  There is a quick into to the club here :

I had a chat with a worried mum recently, who was sure that she had let her children down in the past, as was still not doing a good job due to her fatigue and depression.

But do you know what - we are all worried at the moment that we aren't up to the job, as the job has got so much larger!  The reality is that we will get some bits wrong - and that's OK.

So in this podcast I talk about 2 really important secrets, what's not so perfect about me, what wasn't so perfect about my own mum and what IS out priority.

This question came from a Mum of an 8yo - now at home full time, her part-time job is over for the time being and all her simple fun ideas and holiday plans have been taken away from her.  So how does she stay motivated?
