Mindful Moms: Recent Episodes
Amy Christensen
What if you could change your actions by just changing your thoughts? What if you could look at life and it's many situations with hope and optimism? Feel lost, stuck, and not sure what to do? We've got your back. We help faith based women find empowerment in their lives, and greater connection with themselves and in their relationships no matter the circumstance.
Today I discuss how mindfulness can help us love in the present moment. Often we fight with reality and don't like what is happening to us. At times it works in our favor. We need to ignite fight or flight. However, often we simply turn it on out of habit and we are safe and sound, just having a battle in our own minds. I outline a new practice to keep an open heart and work on loving your situations and your people and your life even when you don't think you want to. Listen now!

In this episode of Mindful Moms, we sit down with Corinne Crabtree, a life coach, master coach, and mom who lost over 100 pounds and created the No BS Weight Loss and Business programs. Corinne shares her journey of weight loss and how she discovered the tools to help herself and others succeed. We discuss the challenges of being a busy mom and managing overwhelm while trying to take care of ourselves. Join us for an inspiring conversation about finding balance, losing weight, and creating a life that supports our well-being.

In this episode, I will share with you the idea that you can change your thoughts. Not every thought that our brain offices is true, necessarily. Using thought, work and mindset tools, we can challenge our thoughts by taking a pause, and also by asking heavenly father, to direct our thoughts, and to confirm if our thoughts are true. Have you tried this for yourself? Tell me how it is working for you.

Judgements usually come from a partial thought we have about ourselves. Other times, they are rules that we or society have made up about a certain situation. We all judge. It's inherent, but sometimes those judgements can get out of hand and make us miserable. Let't take a look at a few ways we can loosen up those judgements about ourselves and make progress to feel the way we want to feel.
