I'm Afraid They're Going to Be Mad At Me
Are you ever afraid to say what you'd really prefer to, because you're worried the other person will be mad at you?
Maybe it's how you'd prefer to follow through with your kids when they don't finish their work or chores.
Maybe it's what you wish you could say to your husband about how he parents the children.
Maybe it's what you wish you could say to friends, but don't want to drive them away with your hot-messiness.
Listen, this is a NORMAL human reaction and it's all based in fear.
Fear that keeps you stuck and keeps your family from living into the potential of what God is dreaming for each of your lives.
In today's podcast I'm going to share how this has been coming up in coaching lately and what you need to do to get unstuck from the fear...
...and start feeling more authentically you.
The you whom God created exactly the way He meant to, for a reason, for a purpose in this world.
So please grab your earbuds and something cozy and let's talk about when you're afraid of someone else's reactions...especially if you're afraid of them being mad at you.
P.S. Do you desire an authentic Catholic community of homeschooling mamas who GET you?
Who GET your life and what you're going through? Who will never question your commitment to homeschooling or suggest you 'just send your kids to school,' when you're having a hard day?
If so, please join the BEST place on the internet to be an authentically Catholic homeschooling mother and not feel alone on the journey again: the Happy, Holy Mama Membership. If you have questions before you join, just hit reply to this, or any, email I send you and I'll get back to you shortly. You are not alone mama. Don't stay stuck! All you have to do is reach out. -
Masterclass: How to Get More Time Back in Your Day!
If you're a Catholic homeschooling mama you ARE, factually, very busy!
However, if you are FEELING busy, but not feeling PRODUCTIVE, I can help.
Last weekend I recorded a free public masterclass called: How to Get More Time Back in Your Day and it was SO lifegiving, affirming, and USEFUL for those who came, I decided to put the audio of the class so that it can serve you, too!
In the class I shared my story of what my life was like when I felt like I had no space or time for myself, being buried under babies, toddlers, and tantrums.
I shared insight about our to-do lists as moms and what might be going on, if we feel like there isn't enough time to do everything there is to do in a given day.
I also gave the over 120 women who signed up for the class my #1 process to create space interally so they could get more time and LIFE back in their day.
I'd be honored to share this class with you now, so please grab your earbuds to take my masterclass: How to Get More Time Back in Your Day!

How to Lead by Example (Even When You Don't Want To)
It’s the most infuriating experience to want to do better yourself, but feel like your own behavior is contingent on what someone else does. Especially if that someone else is your own child and should know better.
And then you end up feeling like a bad mom because you can’t seem to get yourself under control.
Guilt is almost always followed by shame and that one-two punch just makes you want to run and hide from your kids…which of course doesn’t teach them how to change their own behavior, either.
In today’s episode I’m going to give you my one simple strategy to come back from a mistake. And when you are willing to do this one thing, then you begin to lead by example.
You become the adult you want them to be someday, even after a mess up.
They learn the best things from you, which was the whole point behind homeschooling in the first place.

Productive Waiting
Have you ever noticed what you spend your time on while you wait for something?
A doctor's appointment, a child to go to the bathroom, a pot of water to boil?
What about what you're choosing to do while you wait for your children to grow up, wait for them to grasp a new concept, or learn a new skill?
What you focus on in the moments of waiting matters because it directly influences how you react or respond to those around you.
And right now, during Holy Week, what you focus on while you wait for the resurrection of Jesus will directly impact the way you and your family experience the Easter weekend, and beyond.
This week I have a short and sweet podcast episode for you that will help you refocus your attention during this time of waiting so that it becomes more productive.
Not just for your homeschooling efforts, but for the kingdom of God.
Grab your earbuds and let's talk about making the time that you spend waiting more productive.

Have a More Lifegiving Marriage
It's way too easy to go about your day feeling frustrated about the kids, homeschooling, and the house and then take it out on your hubby the next time you interact with him.

Today's episode will help you Improve Your Relationships and put your life in Right Order, starting with your marriage.
Because when your marriage is feeling stuck and even a bit painful, then everything else feels stuck and painful, too. Including your relationships with your kids and your homeschooling.
So today let's start digging into this vital relationship that can help your whole life feel more life-giving when you intentionally support it today.
Grab your earbuds and let's talk about how to: Have a Lifegiving Marriage

What You Lead With
Homeschooling (and Time Management are 80% mindset and 20% strategy.
You’re probably just trying to do it the other way around, which is why it can feel so frustrating, even infuriating, to want to manage your time better and feel like you just can’t.
Or like all the pieces of your life are actively working against your best efforts to accomplish all the things on your to-do list, including homeschooling!
It can feel like a losing battle, unless you understand what’s going on in your brain.
In this week’s podcast episode, I am going into the brain science, the mindset, behind great time management skills. I’ll give you some powerful insight into why it feels so hard to do what you really want to do and end up doing the things you’d prefer not to.
And I'll give you a few reflection questions to take this deeper with the Lord and what He is calling you to focus on right now.
