3 steps to transforming through challenge

07/10/24 • 20 min

Welcome to the Mama Brain Podcast!
In this episode I share with you the 3 steps I took to support myself through the space of grief, challenge and change and come out the other side more connected to my authenticity, more present in my mothering and even creating something exciting in my business.
If you're experiencing any of these things, here are the 3 things I offer:
1. Create a regular nervous system healing practice in your life. It doesn't have to be complicated. I recommend Sarah Tacy, who is the practitioner supporting the Relaxed Money Program (with Kate Northrup). You can find Sarah at https://sarahtacy.com
2. Connect to your vision & values. I highly recommend creating a daily embodied experience for your desired vision. I do this through a 5 senses visualization and my own personal meditation practice. If all of this is new to you, you can simply imagine your desired vision, connecting to how it looks & feels as you fall asleep at night.
3. Create small, simple, doable actions that you can perform consistently. Notice the gap between where you are now and your desired vision, and then break down pieces of that vision into the smallest, doable action. One of my examples was committing to exercise just 15 minutes a day, 4 times per week. Since my desired vision is to be healthy, vibrant and strong, I knew I needed to create a commitment around my own health that I could do, even on my the most challenging days.
I'm also excited to introduce my new Signature Program, From Surviving to Thriving! This 12-week program will be launching it's beta this fall. If you'd like to be notified of founding member enrolment or be placed on the waitlist, please email me at [email protected] with the subject line THRIVE!
If this episode resonated with you, I invite you to share it with someone you know who may also take something away and into their life.
Keep smiling~

Good-Bye Nanny - Celebrating Life, Grieving and Learning with our children

In this very special Mother's Day episode of the Mama Brain Podcast, I share with you the celebration of Nanny.
This past week, we unexpectedly lost Hayden's beloved Nanny which offered me the ability to reflect on how I wanted to show up in the space of grief for myself, as a Mama, and for my daughter.
I learned that I wanted to be present in my experience and teach Hayden to embrace grief, in a loving, supported and safe way, so that rather than fearing it, we're all able to honour the relationship we shared with this special person in our life.
Grief is also about reflecting and learning from the person we've lost and how we choose to embody that wisdom as we move forward in our own lives.
I learned so much this past week and felt that knowing Nanny and celebrating her life offered me a new perspective and an ability to become more expansive as a Mama.
I appreciate you for sharing this journey with me.
Happy Mother's Day!

Welcome to the Mama Brain Podcast!
In this episode I'm joined by my special guest Meg Muise. We discuss the life-changing experience Meg had with her firstborn that sent her on a trajectory from building businesses to creating a lifestyle that prioritizes raising and educating her children, and homesteading, (while still running multiple successful businesses).
I love Meg's truthful, authentic, down-to-Earth nature, her humour and the wisdom she shares about what it takes to be a modern day Mama.
If you find yourself considering a different path for yourself as a Mom - perhaps you're curious about homeschooling, or simply want to experience the slow, purposeful life Meg talks about, then you'll want to jump into this episode for inspiration.
Meg is a homeschooling Mom of 3 little ones aged 7, 5 and 1. She's the co-founder of two local business RIPE Juicery and Nour.ish.
A homebody at heart, Meg spends her days with her husband and littles, gardening, raising their chickens & cooking. She's about health, wellness, oat milk lattes and outdoor adventures.
