How To Start A Podcast

I don’t like the word, “I can’t”. I rather learn what is required to do something than not do anything at all because I believed that I can’t do it because of anything like financial reasons or even just a fear of trying something totally different and new.

I know there are many stay-at-home moms who are st I know there are many stay-at-home moms who are struggling with their decision to take on this role or responsibility. I know the sacrifice of even giving up the ability to earn an income while tending to the needs and well-being of your children. ⁠ ⁠ But guess what? You have made the best decision regardless, to put the well-being of your child as a top priority. Everything else this world has to offer Is futile and cannot replace the time and effort spent doing what your heart tells you to. ⁠ ⁠ Be proud of yourself and your sacrifice. Don't ever think that what you did was a waste, it wasn't. What you sew in those tough times is what you will reap for a lifetime. ⁠ ⁠ #StayAtHomeMoms #stayathomemomsrock #stayathomemomstatus #mom #momlife #stayathomemom #mommylife #momgoals #mombloggers #bestmomever #lovemymom #loveyoumom #newmommy #365homeschool⁠
Boy this kid of mine is unstoppable!!! We just sta Boy this kid of mine is unstoppable!!! We just started introducing my boys to different sports. First it was soccer and now it’s flag football. My youngest kid, in flag football, shocked us all. Were did he get this talent from? It’s beyond me because me nor dad plays any competitive sports. So I’m going to assume that it skipped some generations lol. Anyway I want to encourage you to get your kids involved with sports to help them to learn how to work as a team and to develop confidence in themselves and their abilities.

This "super mom" way of being can be so overwhelmi This "super mom" way of being can be so overwhelming when all you want to be is just present. I don't always have to have all my "ducks perfectly in a row" to feel like I'm a better mom. ⁠ ⁠ Just sometimes being present with them is good enough and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. ⁠ ⁠ Perfectionism in my parenting ways is not needed. I have to be ok with just being present. ⁠ ⁠ Have you felt the need or pressure to be something you don't desire to achieve? I know it's tough especially when you are feeling like you have to show up to everything to feel important when it's not really necessary. ⁠ ⁠ Being present with them, on the days when you get to is still good enough. ⁠ ⁠ Give yourself grace!⁠ ⁠ For more information on living life in balance click on the blog link in my bio. ⁠ ⁠ #balancedlife #balancedlifestyle #lifebalanced #balancedlifehappylife⁠ ⁠#balancedmotherhood #lifelivedinbalance #balancinglifeasamom #balancinglifewithkids
I know that many of you are probably struggling wi I know that many of you are probably struggling with life. I hear it all the time in my “motherhood circles”. I often hear that I’m tired, drained or burned out with life and everything in between. But do you know why? It’s because you’re trying to be or become someone or something that you’re not and your body’s reaction to you trying to be that is turmoil, weariness and even depression. Now I have been in both lives before to understand that what seems like the “best” life was actually not the life I desired to live afterwards. But until I was able to face my own reality and to understand that something was not working for me, it was then that I had to make the changes I needed to ensure I didn’t get to that place of dysfunction anymore. Yes I had to leave a career as a pharmacist that I spent years to achieve because it didn’t give me the life and balance that I needed to manage life, career and motherhood. But I can honestly tell you that making that pivotal adjustment in my life is the best decision I could make to save myself. How do you currently feel about your own life. Feel free to comment below. I wrote a new blog post on “How To Live A Balanced Life” to help you to also understand what creating healthy lifestyle boundaries may look like so that you can also live a life of love, joy and peace.

Sometimes the life that we may have chosen initial Sometimes the life that we may have chosen initially, may not be ideal for many of us and we tend to become, frustrated, bitter, and even resentful. ⁠ ⁠ Maybe it's the career we decided to choose or the lifestyle that we thought would bring us joy and peace, only to find out that it's not the case. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ You are, however, the author of your own story. If you feel like something is not working for you, why do you settle for less than your best? ⁠ ⁠ At the end of the day isn't life about having balance? Because when you're out of balance with life the consequences take a toll on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ If you haven't yet gotten a copy of my book A Balanced Life: Moving from a dysfunctional life to a purposeful one then please do so. ⁠ ⁠ I talk about how to transition from a dysfunctional life that may not be ideal for you into something more purposeful. ⁠ ⁠ Get a copy of my book, A Balanced Life: Moving from a dysfunctional life to a more purposeful one, to learn more about love.

I know that many of you have had a dream or passio I know that many of you have had a dream or passion to get a podcast started but you just couldn’t get it started because maybe you thought about the expense of doing it or just the fear of getting it accomplished. Whatever the reason is, don’t let it hinder you from getting it done.

What does it matter anyway, when we worry so much What does it matter anyway, when we worry so much about the future of our kids? We worry about who they will marry one day, the college they will attend and so many other things. ⁠ ⁠ But why not focus on just where they are today. We get to focus only on today and to think about the moments we have for just today. ⁠ ⁠ That to me is what matters the most. Then as the days go by, we get to see their lives unravel before our eyes. ⁠ ⁠ So remove those anxious thoughts about our kids and just be present with them today. That's good enough. You're doing well as a parent.

How many of us struggle with this simple act of se How many of us struggle with this simple act of self-care? I know I do and then I have to face the consequences of not being upright and firm in my decisions. ⁠ ⁠ In order to set healthy boundaries in your life and relationships, always consider this first. Will this affect my joy and cause me to be bitter, sad, or even resentful? If so, then if a yes is required, let it be a yes and if a no is required let it be a no. ⁠ ⁠ Anything else will steal your joy and your peace. Set healthy boundaries for yourself and your sanity.
