So Much More
Maria & Chelsey
Our purpose for creating our podcast So Much More is to speak about real-life experiences around parenting, womanhood, being a wife, working inside and outside of the home, and so much more! There are so many elements that we are working through each day as women, and top that off with hormones, diet culture, body image culture, constant comparisons of ourselves to others, perceived judgment, and so many opinions and ways of living life among all of us – that sometimes we need to just sit down and have the conversation - we are all different but the same. We all have egos, we all have insecurities, and good days and bad days. We all have struggles and times when we feel defeated and alone. So Much More is meant to talk about the real experiences, the challenges we face, and how we get through those by practicing gratitude and staying positive through it all! To keep our perceptions of others and ourselves clear enough to see the good more than the bad.

Setting Boundaries
So Much More
09/24/24 • 44 min
Setting boundaries is meant to protect your peace. It builds expectations for others and yourself, on how you will show up and what you will or won't tolerate. For example, maybe you don't like crowded places so you choose not to involve yourself in activities that include those types of environments. The people in your life learn to expect that if a place is crowded, that's not your scene - that is a boundary. Now say you don't like crowded places, but you keep showing up to these types of events, because you don't want to disappoint someone - this is people pleasing. You and others are unintentionally pushing you out of your comfort zone. You will notice that the longer you spend outside of your comfort zone, the more drained you ultimately feel. We shouldn't be riding through life feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable, because we keep overextending ourselves. We can't help every uncomfortable situation in life of course, but for what we can control, we should communicate and set healthy and unapologetic boundaries to protect our peace. Boundaries can be set with ourselves, with family, and with friends. No one is an exception to setting healthy limits.

Vulnerability
So Much More
03/10/24 • 27 min
On today's episode of the So Much More Podcast, we discuss all about vulnerability and asking for help. Vulnerability literally means putting ourselves in a position to be attacked or judged. This creates a lot of fear, and for us human beings, we are programmed to protect ourselves. It's why we keep so much of our rawest, truest selves enclosed. Playing it safe through life, and not always communicating our emotions and personal experience. Even if we may actually benefit from putting ourselves out there without fear of judgment. Being vulnerable although intimidating, can help improve our relationship with ourselves and other people, as well as bring on opportunities for growth in other facets of our lives. Being vulnerable is essentially allowing ourselves to admit we don't have all the answers; that sometimes we do need to talk about deeper feelings going on inside of us; and acknowledge when we need help.

Overwhelm & Burnout
So Much More
04/12/24 • 42 min
Today's episode is a long one because we are talking about overwhelm and burnout, which seems to be something that is affecting so many of us in the world right now. The feeling of overwhelm comes from our desire to do it all, complete all the tasks, and look good doing it! These expectations are often unrealistic for what we can truly divide ourselves into doing, during the day. We only have so much energy and time to allocate to each task, that is where prioritizing is essential. A lot of the time these tasks are sitting in our heads; it is chaotic and disorganized. When we are thinking about what we want to achieve in a day, week, or month, it is usually a long list of so many things, from completing work tasks to meal prepping, spending more time with family, budgeting our money, etc. When we don't organize these thoughts and we allow ourselves to believe that we have to have everything completed on that day or that week, to feel accomplished, we become overwhelmed. When we push ourselves to to do everything at once to feel accomplished, while also getting pulled by everyday life situations we can't control, we get burned out! That is what we talk about today. We also talk about ways to cope and get through the overwhelm without becoming burned-out.

Consistency & Grace
So Much More
06/10/24 • 37 min
In this episode, we get into the wonderful benefits of staying consistent with those things that bring you closer to your goals and make you feel fulfilled or accomplished! We also talk about the challenges and barriers that make being consistent difficult and how this can make us feel, including dragging us down and feeding negativity. We want you to know that consistency with new habits isn't ever easy. Sometimes it feels like a breeze, and other times you just don't know what is going on, and why you can't stay on track. Life gets in the way that's why, let it! It's okay to get knocked off course, don't let that stop you from hacking through the weeds to get back on the right path for you! Perseverance and keeping that positive inner voice/cheerleader are the two key pieces in keeping that consistency train moving. Give yourself grace during the times you feel unmotivated or uncontrollable life situations come up. Trust the process, trust yourself, and never give up!

Overwhelm Continued
So Much More
05/27/24 • 35 min
In this episode of So Much More, we continue to discuss overwhelm and how that sometimes shows up in our lives. We discuss some personal experiences and how we have both navigated the signs of our overwhelm and burnout. The ways that we recognize overwhelm in ourselves and how we manage that stressor are as different and unique to us, as they will also be to you. When it comes to noticing signs of stress, overwhelm, and burnout, as well as how we handle that stress and overwhelm is not a one size fits all. The first step for anyone, however, is becoming aware and then finding ways that work for us to avoid burnout effectively. Whether that's talking it out (communication), organizing daily/weekly tasks, exercise/movement, meditation, eating healthier, etc. - it can be a combination of any of these things. It's important to recognize the source and adjust your lifestyle to reduce your stress levels as much as you possibly can, you deserve peace. Life is too short to be in survival mode all day every day!

The Morning Natters - Episode 1
So Much More
06/05/24 • 27 min
The morning natters are quick session episodes where Chelsey and I unload some thoughts and conversation about how the day or week is going, what we are or aren’t looking forward to for the present day, and just what’s going on internally with us while trying to navigate this crazy, ever-evolving, busy af, fast-paced world! Everyone’s story is different, and our life situations and routines are often very different, but still at the same time we all are very similar to each other in terms of what we might be needing emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally. We can often relate to each other and the challenges we face in life. Sometimes, however, we don’t realize how closely we can actually sympathize with one another, especially when we listen to our egos. The point of the talks Chelsey and I have and sharing them with you is to connect. We may be living different life situations and have our individual ways of doing things but sometimes it’s nice to know that we aren’t alone when riding on life’s roller coaster.

We also add a focus point to each conversation that may coincide with our So Much More episode for that week or it may deviate into another topic. Regardless, it will focus on a skill or tool that you can use to help you move closer to your goals; if you implement it into your routine.

Inner Voice
So Much More
02/18/24 • 32 min
Hello, today on So Much More, we discuss Inner voice:
How we speak to ourselves makes a major difference in how we feel throughout each day. Because of that fact it is so important to keep our inner voice positive and be kind to ourselves. Think about it this way if stress and negative self-talk can cause real harm to the body by manifesting into disease, both mentally and physically, then isn’t it possible for positive self-talk to do just the opposite? That is the conversation we get into on today’s So Much More Podcast.
