If you find yourself comparing yourself with moms or other parents more than you’d like to admit, this episode’s for you.
Comparison is a trap and, if we’re not careful, it can lead us to doubting who we are as mothers and whether or not we’re doing enough for our kids faster than Taylor Swift can write her next album.
So, if that’s you, don’t feel bad…I promise you we’ve all been there and that we all still struggle with it at times.
But, if you’re ready to let it go, focus on your amazingness as a mom and help other moms see the same in themselves, this episode is for you.
Let’s go.
P.S. Help a girl out and share with a friend!

Why We Need to Stop Telling Our Kids to Calm Down
Has anytime someone told you to “Calm down” made you feel better or did it make you feel LESS calm?
That’s what I thought.
While sometimes hearing those words can help, most of the time it doesn’t and the same rings true for our kids.
In this episode, I’m going to tell you why saying “Calm down” doesn’t actually have the effect we want it to, the message our kids may actually be hearing, instead, and how slightly changing our delivery can make a huge difference in how we respond to and connect with our kids.

Learning to Listen More Than We Speak
Listening to our kids is so, so important and speaking less is so, so hard. However, it can be done with patience, practice and God’s help.
Listen in (no pun intended 😉) as I discuss how we can become better listeners and really hear what our children are saying so we can develop the deep and connected relationships we desire with them.

How We Can Create Peaceful Homes for Us and Our Kids
It all starts with us.
When we find peace within ourselves, we’re able to create an atmosphere of peace in our homes that make our kids feel safe, comfortable and peaceful.
We need more peace in our world and in our lives, but it all starts in the home and it all starts with Him.
Let’s go.

Parenting is hard, but being a focused, intentional and conscious parent is even harder. Being there for your kids and trying to teach them all they need to know while also being attuned to yourself is no easy feat, but it can be done and is so worth the time and effort it takes. I not only want to help you be authentic to yourself, but in your parenting, as well. Listen each week as I offer advice, share stories and lot and lots of thoughts on how we can all be self-aware and self-assured in our parenting to be the best parents we want to be and our children need us to be each and every day.
