exhausted mom

Do birthday celebrations STRESS you OUT, when you just want to create joy? 

Birthday parties are one of those times that we want so badly to create a good memory for our kids. But, it's JUST not possible all the time. 

When we have a busy homeschool life, we are exhausted, overwhelmed, we have kids with higher needs, we are driving to and from therapy or extracurriculars, and it can just be TOO.MUCH. 

Yet, there's this pressure that birthdays have to be perfect.

Today we share our ideas, to get your wheels turning for how you can make birthdays a time of real celebration DESPITE the life chaos. So you can create a time of joy and memory making, just like you dreamed of (even if it looks slightly different than you expected). 

Grab a warm basket of laundry, pop in your ear buds, and LET’s CHASE JOY! 

XOXO, 
Katie

Question For The Podcast?
https://www.speakpipe.com/Katie

Moms feel frustrated at times by the invisible emotional labor of motherhood; weighed down by a heaviness that comes with managing the emotions of other people in their family along with performing hundreds of tiny tasks and chores that keep the household running.

This kind of repetitive, under-acknowledged labor can be as simple as noticing when the dishwasher needs emptying or remembering to buy your child's favorite kind of peanut butter because you saw the jar was nearly empty.

It can be recognizing that your child is exhausted or had a hard day, and needs to talk about it on the drive home from school.

It might look like breaking up an argument between two siblings and mediating between them; but then needing to manage your own emotions later in the evening because you're exhausted after dealing with their big emotions all day.

In this week's podcast episode, host and certified life coach Andrea Morton digs into this important topic and then provides several concrete, actionable strategies to help parents lift & balance the weight of their emotional labor.

Go behind the scenes and listen in to a conversation and an impromptu coaching session during a monthly Momma's Morning Cup coffee chat.
Before I took some time off, I held the monthly coffee chat inside of Momma’s Morning Cup Facebook Group. During this chat, we talked about boundaries. So good. Although I wish I could give you the inside of the whole chat, to respect the privacy of the attendees and with their permission, I want to share an excerpt from me coaching an attendee. Consider this as an inside scoop of a coaching session with me.

Topics of discussion

• Establishing boundaries
• Self-Affirmation
• Transactional relationships
• Owning Your Peace
• Ask for help when you need it and not on someone else’s terms.
• Losing your individuality when you don’t have healthy boundaries. 
• Building walls as a sense of protection when things constantly change. 
• Starting your plan of setting boundaries.

Welcome to Season 3 of Holistic Health Hub with me Chelsey Holm! 

We celebrate and help our babies take their first steps, but what about us taking those small steps in our own health, wellness, and lives? 
Enter: MommySteps!! What if instead of waking up with certainty that you're exhausted, you woke up every day with certainty that you would have energy, alignment, mission, and more!!!! All moving you in the direction that you really want to go?! What if you could take small steps that would lead to even bigger steps over time...but to never burn out or get overwhelmed? Sustainable growth is what I'm talking about. 

Here's the thing, I've been sitting and feeling exactly where you are right now, mama! I know what it's like to want more but to feel completely defeated, isolated, overwhelmed and exhausted ALL THE FREAKING TIME. To feel that "should". Shoulding all over yourself. But lacking the energy to change a dang thing. To feel guilty for wanting more. To feel like you should be the happiest mama ever, and yet...something is missing. Always thinking about yourself and wondering how people are perceiving you, judging you, thinking about you... It drives you crazy! You can't get out of your own head to actually enjoy your life filled with blessing!!

I see you. I hear you. I relate to you. I was you! And YOU can feel and be exactly as that little lingering glimpse of hope that is deep inside you right now!! Let's take actual sustainable action to bring it out and unleash on this world. The world needs your voice, your story, your power!!!!  Are you in? Are you with me?! 

New episode dropping every Sunday!

Veggies are good for us so many reasons:
1. Big volume, low calories
2. Fiber to keep us feeling full longer, scrub our guts
3. Micronutrients, all those vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function optimally
4. Antioxidants, helping our bodies reverse the ill-effects of oxidation, which lead to inflammation, disease, etc
5. Water! Literally eating our hydration.

You might think you hate veggies, but really you only dislike the way you've had them prepared (canned veggies, I'm looking at you, gag!). Learn new ways to prepare them like grilling, roasting, or even hiding them that you enjoy.

So much goodness packed into their episode, just like the goodness packed into veggies! Enjoy!
