55: How to feel ENOUGH & stop trying to do EVERYTHING as mamas. With Maria Alcoke of the Engine Mom Podcast.
05/20/19 • 50 min
Enough-ness. Do you every feel enough as a mom? Do you ever take the time to pat yourself on the back and acknowledge what you've accomplished rather than what you have not? It's so easy to fill up everyone else cup before our own, or feel unworthy if we don't check off all of the "to dos" on our list. But what if we just accepted that we were already doing enough?
I’m super stoked for today’s guest. Why? Because she’s a fellow podcaster mama who candidly speaks about just this. Maria Alcoke is also is a Cross Fit Level 1 trainer who not only inspires with her physical prowess but her ability to shift gears at the drop of a hat.
Maria made the brave move to leave the corporate world to pursue her own business right before the birth of her first child. In fact, her show “The Engine Mom Podcast” is all about the gears we have to shift as busy, ambitious mamas.
Today we speak about:
- Enough-ness and when and where to create boundaries
- Making sacrifices for our dreams
- Why she doesn't feel she fits into the stay at home mom or working mom box & how that is sometimes challenging.

54: A Crohn’s disease diagnosis leads to huge life shifts. With Kayla Mangione of the Family Food Project
Mamas most certainly can find themselves burning the candle at both ends and putting everyone else health, wellness and wellbeing in front of our own. Todays guest is going to share with us a great lesson in why we should always listen to our bodies inklings. Kayla Mangione, today's guest, was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in her twenties, which resulted in major surgery. This mama of two daughters has walked quite a road to arrive where she is today as a LMFT and Art therapist as well as the founder of the Family Food Project on Instagram.
Today she shares about:
- Why our body is much smarter than we often think it is and to listen to it!
- Why it's important for mamas to have a creative outlet
- How we never know where life is going to lead us, ad how our downs often lead to our biggest successes.
Because Kayla admits she is stubborn and didn’t want to accept being on pharmaceuticals for the rest of her life, she decided to completely change her diet, which included removing gluten completely. Now she has kept this autoimmune disease at bay, through diet and health alone and has become quite passionate about health and wellness and empowering other mamas to be versed in it as well.
Her Instagram food journal is where she shares plant-focused meal ideas, parenting tips for selective eaters, and how to create healthy food relationships for kids.
