Aligned Motherhood
01/23/20 • 47 min
This week I sit down with my friend Vanessa: a homeschooling, minimalist, plant based, positive parenting mom.
Vanessa is a US veteran, military wife, and carries a long list of qualifications including YTT, Master's degree in exercise science, certifications in life coaching and group exercise, and more. She is the embodiment of health and wellness.
We sit down and talk about taking the “easy” route vs. sticking by values, balancing business, homeschooling, parenting, and personal goals, Vanessa's morning routine, how she manages to always be intentional with her time, why homeschool and how to get started, Waldorf education and why we both chose it for our children, how Vanessa started her homeschool co-ops, the importance of connecting with other parents, dealing with pressure to conform, how to practice positive parenting, and so much more.
If you've ever considered homeschooling or are looking to learn more about minimalism, taking the road less traveled, or positive parenting, take a listen now!

Balancing Babies and Business
Aligned Motherhood
01/17/20 • 28 min
Raising children, running the home, maintaining relationships, taking care of myself, AND running a business is no joke.
In this episode, I share about how I juggle it all and more importantly WHY I choose to.
I talk about how I think balance is a myth, setting boundaries around my time, energy, and emotions, using my knowledge of Human Design to optimize how I work and live...and so much more.
This is just me, being real with you about how I manage my crazy life.

Aligned Motherhood

Real talk, I'm not a big New Years resolutions kinda girl, BUT I do believe in the power of intentions and the specific, actionable goals behind them.
I learned a lot of lessons in 2019, and my goals will reflect that. I studied Human Design and manifestation in 2019, and my goals will reflect that too.
In this episode I break down my process for goal setting, and actually share what my goals are for every area of my life. If you're looking for some inspiration or direction for your own intention and goal setting, take a listen in!

My Daughter's Human Design Chart and What It Means
Aligned Motherhood
11/27/19 • 38 min
What if you could predict that your child might have trouble settling down at night? What if you knew at birth that your child needs to talk things out in order to make correct decisions? Or that she amplifies the emotions of others in the room? What if you knew all of this at birth and you could tailor your parenting to match what your unique child actually needs? If you could meet her exactly where she is and help her maintain a relationship with her higher self so she doesn't have to go through years of therapy and inner work like you've had to?
Human Design can offer insights like this, and I've already been using it to parent my son in a way that serves his highest good and help my clients do the same. In this episode I take you through a mini-analysis of my daughter's chart, what it means for her, and how I can use it to tailor the way we parent her.

Coco: A Birth Story
Aligned Motherhood
11/21/19 • 31 min
If you don’t know, now you know: our daughter Corinne (“Coco”) was born almost six weeks ago (but like how has it been six weeks already?!).
Anyway, like most of the plans I make, my birth plan was basically shot to hell. The plan was to have a magical home birth. 6 hours tops of beautiful labor aided by crystal healing sound bowls and candles and all the things. Birthing her into the tub with my partner and my son by my side, maybe with some Stevie Nicks playing softly in the background because that’s just how I roll. No complications, no delays, no crises.
Take a listen to this episode for the deets on what ACTUALLY went down. Hint: my daughter is clearly here to teach me all the lessons and force me to face all of my fears!

Setting Healthy Boundaries
Aligned Motherhood
08/22/19 • 26 min
Do you always put the needs of your family before your own? Do you struggle to make time for yourself? Do you ever feel frustrated, burned out, even resentful?
In this episode I share my recent self-discovery process and how it's led me to setting clearer boundaries with myself and my loved ones.
I talk about Human Design: how my aura and defined/undefined energy centers operate and are affected by the people around me. I also touch on how I've changed the way I communicate with my partner according to his and my energy types.
I give solid, practical examples of how I've implemented this new knowledge into my life to ease resistance and live more in alignment with my higher Self. Because taking care of our own needs is NOT selfish! If we aren't showing up at 100% for ourselves, we aren't showing up 100% for our families either.
