Celebrating Self-Love on the Path to Personal Fulfillment

Refill with Reka | A place where Moms Thrive

01/25/24 • 27 min

Let's raise a glass to the transformative journey of embracing self-love; it's a celebration not just for mothers but for anyone who's ever struggled to balance the demands of life with the need for personal fulfillment. I share my own reflections on the importance of cultivating self-compassion, challenging negative self-talk, and affirming our inherent worth. The conversation revolves around recognizing our resilience and learning from our experiences, rather than focusing on our imperfections. It’s a reminder that we deserve the same kindness and empathy we so effortlessly give to others, and I'm here to champion that mission alongside you.
Rediscovering lost passions and hobbies is like rekindling a romance with your own soul, and in this chat, I explain how the Four Square method can help bring that elusive work-life harmony into clearer view. I advocate for personal growth and routines that reinforce the necessity of investing in ourselves—for when we flourish, so too do the many dimensions of our lives. By prioritizing joy and self-improvement, we encourage one another to evolve into the best versions of ourselves continually. So, cozy up and listen in as we toast to the art of self-love and the beauty of living a life that's rich with passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart.

The Power of Community, Faith, and Healing in Motherhood with Patience Tamarra

Refill with Reka | A place where Moms Thrive

08/12/23 • 33 min

Pour yourself a glass and settle in for my heart-to-heart with Patience Tamarra, a mom and intuitive healing coach with wisdom well beyond her years. Patience's journey from childhood feeling different to finding her place in the world as a mother and healer will leave you inspired and moved. She even gives a fun twist to our mom vibe check, sharing her affinity for characters from A Different World, her favorite friend group, and even her choice of old-school candy!
Remember the biblical story of Jesus feeding multitudes with two loaves and five fish? Patience parallels this story and her faith journey, where she raised $5000 for her new place, leaning heavily on the power of community. She emphasizes the strategic and intentional nature of God's promises, reflecting on the temptation to substitute divine plans for our own and the grace we can extend to ourselves when we stumble. We also have an enlightening conversation about those 'Hagar' moments of our lives - you'll have to tune in to unpack that mystery.
The healing work doesn't stop there. Patience Tamarra introduces us to the concept of inner child visualizations, an empowering tool for self-grace and healing. She reinforces the importance of open communication, resisting the urge to please people, and prioritizing our well-being. Patience invites us into her forgiveness journey, sharing how it has reshaped her relationships with her children and their father. She also shares strategies to release emotional trauma, from journaling to movement – these are conversations and insights you won't want to miss

We wrap up our heart-to-heart with an empowering call to arms for all mothers out there: to arm our children with the knowledge and communication skills needed to navigate their own mental health and personal boundaries. As we discuss the legacy we wish to leave for our little ones, it's clear that our roles as parents are not just about the example we set but also about the conversations we open up.
