The Calm Mom - Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Mindset, Self-Care, Parenting, Work-Life Balance

Where in your life do YOU struggle with self-doubt?

Maybe it's shown up when you set a boundary. Maybe it's when you've had something to say, but the self-doubt crept in and you stayed quiet. Maybe it was a parenting decision you made and you can't stop wondering whether you made the right choice. Or maybe it’s a dream you want to chase, but your self-doubt keeps telling you that you’re not qualified.

We all face moments of self-doubt. The key is to figure out how to move past it. Because if we don’t, self-doubt will sabotage us. It'll keep us playing small. And playing small is going to prevent us from reaching our goals, friends.

Listen to this episode to learn exactly what to do when self-doubt and imposter syndrome creep in. I teach you how to stop second-guessing yourself and change your inner dialogue so you can work with your inner critic, rather than against it!

Forgiveness is such a power move! When we can teach our children that forgiveness is a gift that they give to themselves, we can help them let go of judgment, resentment, and misunderstanding. However, forgiveness is so much more than just saying the words “I forgive you.” In order for forgiveness to be effective, we must teach and allow our children to be able to embody it and feel compassion.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered if you should force your kids to forgive. We’ll discuss why it’s so important that kids forgive only when they’re ready, and I’ll help you navigate how that conversation can sound. We’ll explore how we can teach our kids that forgiveness is not about accepting, agreeing with, or condoning what happened. And finally, we’ll talk about why it’s so important for us to model forgiveness for our children.

What if you could intentionally edit out the parts of your life that feel overwhelming?

In today’s episode, we explore how the process of “editing your life” can transform your daily experience, helping you connect more deeply with yourself and those around you.

Elisabeth McKetta is an expert on creating space for what matters most. Through her “3 Es” framework, she invites us to examine, edit, and enjoy our lives in a way that brings clarity, growth, and generosity to every day.

We discuss her approach to teaching children an “edited mindset” and organizing life in “orbits”—a unique framework from her book Edit Your Life that helps us honor daily, weekly, and seasonal priorities.

Here’s what we dive into:

• Practical ways to examine your life, envision what it could be,& make edits to invite clarity and growth.
• Teaching our children to connect with their values and learn to simplify and prioritize with joy.
• How to manage your daily, weekly, and seasonal needs allowing space for the essentials without overwhelm.

Tune in to discover how Elisabeth’s approach to intentional living can help you reconnect with your own sense of awe and bring more ease, presence, and joy into every day.
