3 Steps to Enjoying Traditions that Matter to Your Family: Living the Holiday Season on Purpose with Amy Carney
Motherhood Mindset with Stephanie Pletka
12/14/21 • 24 min
- On this week's episode of Motherhood Mindset, I'm interviewing Amy Carney, author of Parent on Purpose and 100 Questions for Moms, to discuss Ways to Enjoy Traditions that Matter to Your Family, minus the hurriedness of trying to Be All & Do it All.
You're just one person. Slow down and live out these precious days on purpose.
If we are lucky, Amy reminds us that we have only 18 seasons with our kids. Would you rather focus on image, perfection, keeping up with the Jonses, or customizing your holiday season to focus on what matters most to your family?
Give yourself grace to be human. There are some seasons where you can add more traditons and items to the list, and other seasons, for example, when you're having a baby, adopting a child, starting a job, or going back to school; those seasons need a little more attention and something has to give.
Amy offers 3 actionable steps to determine what matters most to your family; and how to live a more intentional holiday season, to enjoy the goodness sitting right before you.
God is your anchor in the midst of the storm. Don't be afraid, for the Lord will go before you and will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Deut 31: 6-8
About the Show:
Hey mama, are you ready to live life to the full instead of the busy, exchanging guilt for grace? With humor and relatable stories, we’ll find goodness in the hard places. It’s time to become the person God created you to be, Yourself! Here’s to Living Your Best Life!

Navigating Difficult Family Members During the Holiday Season (Thanksgiving & Christmas)
Motherhood Mindset with Stephanie Pletka
11/17/22 • 5 min
Today we’re talking about how to handle difficult family members over the holidays. Oh, this is a good one.
Do you remember those holiday Coca Cola ads with the Norman Rockwell paintings? Rockwell perfectly captured the essence of what Christmas could be. You didn’t have the weird aunt that said: will u look at my mole to see if it had changed.
There was no fighting at the kitchen table over who ate the last piece of fried chicken. Rockwell’s paintings were the essence of perfection in American culture.
We, on the other hand, were not. Our family was more like a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation, you tell a kid, hey: take the Christmas tree box to the garage and he hears: slide down the stairwell and break out 3 banisters.
