05/14/24 • 53 min
Hi, friends; welcome to the show.
I'm so glad that you're here. Mental health and emotional wellness is something that we all want for our kids. And if our kids are struggling, if they're going through a tough time, if they're spending a lot of time in their bedrooms, and they're sad, and they are isolated and they're lonely, or you have a kid that is struggling with depression or anxiety or substance abuse.
It's heartbreaking. You feel powerless and confused; it's scary.
And the big question is, what do you do? That's what we ask ourselves. What do we do? Well, my special guest today is AnneMoss Rogers is here with answers.
In this interview, AnneMoss bravely shares her heartbreaking journey of losing her son Charles to suicide. She opens up about the challenges leading up to his tragic passing, her struggles to support him through addiction, and what she would have done differently If only she'd known at the time.
AnneMoss is a dynamic mental health advocate, educator, and speaker. She is a TEDx speaker, and her blog, Emotionally Naked, has reached millions. She is the author of the award-winning memoir Diary of a Broken Mind and the best-selling book Emotionally Naked: A Teacher’s Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Students at Risk with co-writer Dr. Kimberly O’Brien.

How To Ditch The Mom Lies and Find Your Way Back To Yourself with Heather Chauvin
Welcome to the show today, and I am so glad you're here. I want to start today by sharing something that my friend Amy sent to me yesterday. This is a meme entitled "How to be a mom in 2017. "We could actually change that to "2024" because it still applies to us today.
Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional and social needs are met. While being careful not to overstimulate, under-stimulate, and properly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free processed foods-free, GMO-free, negative energy-free, plastic-free body positive, socially conscious, egalitarian but also authoritative, nurturing, but fostering independence. Gentle but not overly permissive, pesticide-free, two-story multilingual home preferably in a cul de sac, with a backyard and 1.5 siblings spaced at least two years apart for proper development. Also, don't forget the coconut oil.
Then, it goes on to say, "How to be a mom in literally every generation before ours. Feed them sometimes."
Oh my gosh, we were having a huge conversation about how we can feel so exhausted that we can feel like we've lost ourselves as moms or feel like we're constantly abandoning our own needs.
If you are relating to this, you're going to love my special guest today Heather Chauvin. Heather has been named the next-generation thought leader in parenting and women's leadership. She's the author of Dying to Be a Good Mother and the podcast host of Emotionally Uncomfortable, and Heather's work supports women to manage their energy and time so they don't have to sacrifice their impact at work or at home with their kids. And her mission is to crack women open to their deepest potential and lead the life their soul craves.
There are so many nuggets of wisdom and goodness in this episode, so let's dive in!
