True Presence: Helping Overwhelmed Catholic Moms Find Focus, Clarity, and Connection | a Catholic Podcast

Have your kids been complaining about boredom?  What's the best response?

We're making two bold claims today:  First that boredom is good for your kids, and second, that with just a little empathy and coaching, they can figure out what to do with their time and learn to handle boredom on their own.

Introduction:
In this episode, we discuss the importance of teaching kids how to handle boredom, fostering their creativity, and why it's essential for their development. Join us as we dive into the research on the benefits of boredom and explore practical ways to guide your children in finding their own solutions.

 Episode Highlights:

1. Boredom: Not a Bad Thing After All
   - Discover how boredom can be beneficial for children's self-directed learning and curiosity.
   - Learn why summer vacations without structured schedules can be challenging for kids who are used to constant direction and entertainment.

2. Teaching Kids to Be Self-Directed
   - Understand why it's crucial to give kids opportunities to practice handling boredom regularly.
   - Embrace the discomfort of hearing "I'm bored" and see it as an opportunity to raise resilient problem solvers.

3. Empowering Kids to Make Decisions
   - Learn how to respond to your child's boredom with curiosity instead of providing immediate solutions.
   - Discover the importance of sparking your child's thinking process without giving them direct answers.

4. Building Confidence in Creativity
   - Explore the power of open-ended activities, like playing with a cardboard box, in fostering creativity.
   - Find out how being real and hands-off can help build your child's confidence in their creative abilities.

5. Nudging Kids in the Right Direction
   - Understand the value of asking open-ended brainstorming questions to help your child discover their interests.
   - Learn to be patient and empathetic as your child explores their options and finds their own solutions.

Conclusion:
Boredom can be a valuable teacher for Catholic kids, helping them develop self-directed learning and creativity. As Catholic parents, our role is not to entertain them constantly but to guide them in finding their own solutions. By responding to their boredom with curiosity and asking open-ended questions, we can empower them to take ownership of their time and explore their interests. So the next time your child says, "I'm bored," embrace the opportunity to help them become self-sufficient, creative problem solvers.

What do you do if your doctor tries to push you to do something that goes against your faith?  What about your kids?  Nurse Coach Nichole Haugen is on the podcast today to share all about how to navigate the world of health care as a catholic.  We're covering how to know your rights as a patient and parent, the language to use and listen for, and how to prepare your children for medical decisions.  Check out her webinars for nurses HERE

 Introduction:
In this enlightening podcast episode, Kelsey and Nichole Haugen, a Catholic nurse coach and mother of six, discuss the current healthcare atmosphere and its intersection with Theology of the Body and the dignity of the person. As healthcare workers face burnout and cultural shifts, Catholic parents grapple with questions about their parental rights and ethical decisions, including issues surrounding birth control and abortion. Nichole offers valuable insights and advice to empower Catholic moms in making informed healthcare choices.

Key Points:
1. Understanding the Current Healthcare Atmosphere: Nichole highlights the burnout and stress faced by healthcare workers post-pandemic, leading to various challenges, including issues concerning parental rights.

2. Know Your Parental Rights: As a Catholic mom, it is crucial to be aware of your parental rights in your state. You have the right to refuse treatments and services for your children, ensuring they receive the care that aligns with your values.

3. Asserting Yourself Gracefully: In countercultural situations, it can be challenging to assert your beliefs without feeling judged. Nichole advises using respectful language and having go-to phrases to confidently communicate your decisions without the need for extensive explanations.

4. Recognizing Disguised Terminology: In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, some terms may be used to downplay the ethical implications of certain treatments. Nichole warns about how terms like "conception" have been redefined and how that may hide the abortifacient nature of treatments like the morning after pill, and encourages asking questions and seeking advice when uncertain.

5. Educating Children about Ethical Healthcare: As a mom, Nichole emphasizes the importance of educating children about their bodies and healthcare choices. Honest discussions about the Church's teachings and using informative resources help prepare them for future medical decisions.

Conclusion:
This podcast sheds light on the challenges faced by Catholic moms in navigating the healthcare system, preserving their parental rights, and making ethical decisions. Nichole's insights and advice provide valuable guidance for Catholic parents to confidently advocate for their children's well-being while remaining true to their faith.

In this episode, host Kelsey interviews Janna Kerr, a health coach with expertise in Integrative Nutrition. They discuss how to nourish the body and maintain energy levels amidst the challenges of motherhood. Janna shares valuable insights on primary and secondary food, habits, and the importance of awareness. Through her practical approach, she helps moms find balance in their lives and develop a positive relationship with food. Here are the key takeaways:

**Introduction to Integrative Nutrition**  
Janna explains that Integrative Nutrition focuses not only on the food we eat but also on primary foods, which include spirituality, career, finances, physical activity, relationships, and more. These aspects can nourish or deplete us even more than the food we consume.

**Building Awareness and Establishing Healthy Habits**  
Janna emphasizes the importance of being aware of our daily routines and habits. By recognizing areas that need improvement, moms can make positive changes that contribute to overall well-being. Developing healthy habits that fit into their busy schedules is key to sustainable progress.

**Bio Individuality and Personalized Nutrition**  
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. Janna encourages moms to experiment and discover what foods and eating patterns work best for their unique bodies. She helps them tune into their bodies' signals and requirements, taking into account factors like blood type, preferences, and lifestyle.

**Overcoming Guilt and Diet Culture Pressure**  
Janna addresses the guilt many moms feel about their food choices and body image. She emphasizes self-compassion and advises moms to focus on nourishing their bodies with wholesome foods while allowing themselves occasional treats without judgment.

**Embracing Holy Curiosity**  
Instead of fixating on strict rules or diets, Janna advises moms to approach their nutrition journey with "holy curiosity." This mindset fosters openness to learning, experimenting, and finding what truly nourishes their bodies and souls.

**Upcoming Program: The Exhausted Mom Solution**  
Janna is launching a new 12-week program called "The Exhausted Mom Solution," which focuses on helping moms regain energy, balance, and overall well-being. The program addresses various aspects of daily life, from bedtime routines to breakfast choices, and empowers moms to make sustainable changes.

**Conclusion**  
By paying attention to their body's signals and being open to experimentation, Catholic moms can cultivate a nourishing relationship with food and lifestyle. Janna Kerr's approach emphasizes self-compassion and balance, guiding moms towards a more energized and fulfilling life.

“This is a beautiful course for Catholic moms, and especially helpful for moms who are busy, overwhelmed, or struggling.

As a homeschool homesteading mom of 6 children under 9yrs, this course helped me step out of the chaos to reevaluate what I'm doing each day. Putting my life work into perspective and redirecting me through faith and prayer to the truly important things.

It helps not only with prioritizing and organizing tasks and duties, but also managing energy and mental load. Working through the modules you build a framework for a way of life. You compose a routine that puts your priorities in order and helps manage all the roles and duties of a mothers life. I loved all the practical tips on daily productivity, home management and planning.

Kelsey gives wonderful advice on getting things accomplished with children, making time for mom's needs and dealing with suffering, as well as simple ways to get healthy meals planned and on the table.  This is a true treasure trove and guide to nourish mind, soul and body as well as connection with God and family."

Mama, first of all, you are doing great.  And second of all, we don't necessarily need to play with our kids.  We need to have a relationship with them.  And this episode is all about how to build that relationship whether or not you do it through play.

Have you ever heard of Cycle syncing?  Basically, it's the idea that, unlike men who are the same energy every day, women's energy and effectiveness shifts from one type to another throughout her menstrual phases. Cycle syncing work and productivity or cycle syncing workouts and physical ambitions can give you that extra ooomph you were looking for--without the burnout!

Megan Faller of the Aligned Cycle is joining us this week to discuss how Catholic Moms can manage our energy levels and productivity by working with our fertility cycle instead of against it.  Join us as we more deeply embrace God's unique and beautiful design for women.
