Balancing Teaching, Working Out, Love and Motherhood with Jennifer O’Shea

08/31/20 • 23 min

When becoming a mother, your schedule may go out of control and sometimes it’s hard to find a balance between your own personal life and taking care of your child at the same time. Today’s guest, Jennifer O’Shea, knows exactly how that feels and that’s why she created her own blog called “Teach.Workout.Love,” a Working Mom Blog Community for all busy moms and milspouses. Jennifer wanted to create an outlet for moms to share their creativity and inspiration on balancing life, motherhood stories, and staying healthy and fit.
Highlights:

As a military spouse, Jennifer had to move from New York to Washington: when she did so, she realized that she had to make new friends. That’s how she started blogging and connecting with other mothers in order to figure out how to bear with motherhood all together.
When it comes to receiving advice from people online, especially if it’s about health-related concerns, Jennifer thinks it’s best to first ask your doctor, and then be open to other suggestions.
Although it may sound crazy, Jennifer has actually made real friends online and she has even founded a business with one of them!
Balancing your mother persona and working persona requires a lot of time management. Inevitably, some things may overlap but it’s good to manage a schedule in order to avoid that.
Jennifer gives some useful tips on finding inspiration to write in blogs
When having to make a review on your blog about a product that you don’t really like, it’s best to talk to the company and be honest.

Most people don’t realize that pleasure and connection are aspects of our sexuality that we cannot leave out of our lives. This is what today’s guest, Shannon Chavez, strongly believes. Shannon is a sexual health and wellness specialist who specializes in “all things sexuality," including help for men, women, LGBTQIA, and couples. If you are looking for a safe and judgement-free zone, this is it!
Highlights:

Shannon explains how, even as a little kid, she always felt curious about the concept of sex since it used to be a topic thoroughly forbidden by her conservative family.
How people tend to feel either shocked or really interested in what a sexual specialist does, and how Shannon deals with the misconceptions of her profession.
Shannon explains what are some of the most common concerns or problems that people encounter in their sex lives.
The importance of realizing that our own spirituality and our conception of who we are truly affects our sex life.
Movies, TV shows, banners and billboards are constantly bombarding us with a certain image of what is considered sexy, and that often makes some insecurities come up.
Shannon details the difference between sexy and sexual: yes, they are NOT the same!
