When we send our kids back to school, we want them to succeed in every way. For most of us, the biggest hope we have for our kids is that they follow Jesus and bring him into all the places they go. But as they go into the world, there are other influences at work. We can't shelter them, and it's healthy for all of us to stretch and grow in our faith. So how do we support our kids to build strong faith in the face of the world?
That's what our guests for this episode are here to help us with! Janelle Alberts, and Ingrid Faro bring such insight and wisdom to this much-needed discussion.

There are a lot of things that can still our joy and one of the biggest is when we are feeling like we are behind, forgetting things, or just not able to keep up. When we talk about balance, we believe that it is possible when you put God first, live in community, and follow systems that help you stay in balance. This recipe works for balance and it also works for joy. When we look at that last one, we can struggle because it takes time to get a system in place and things are always changing. For example, I have always worked best when things are in silos. Time with the kids...silo...meaning when I am with them, I am with them and just focused on that. Same with work.
However, many of us have faced a lot of changes over the last year and a half and a lot of our silos have changed, merged, and life is not as clean cut as we maybe have enjoyed it in the past. This makes finding the right systems more difficult and sticking to systems feeling impossible.
But, have hope! I refuse to be defeated by the blessings that God has given me. Let me repeat that.
Juggling school stuff, social stuff, strengthening a marriage, taking care of my body, my home, managing my finances, and using my gifts at work are all blessings. These things can cause stress, but I don’t think that these things or the stress of trying to do all these things and more are a cause to give up on systems thus giving up on balance and joy.
So how do we manage all the chaos?
- Get clear on what success looks like to you and how you define balance
- Focus on one system at a time. The great thing with systems is that they can cover mutli areas of life. Start with something like your weekly prep.
- Put time aside for planning. This is self care. Weekly, daily is most important.
- Don’t try to change your natural planning and operating patterns. If you are a paper person, go with it. If you prefer digital, go with it. Once you get systems down, then you can improve on those systems and how you do them. Just because you heard about how someone else does stuff doesn’t mean you have to do it. Example: Asana and Sunsama, google calendar vs. hand written to do lists and a planner
- Give yourself grace. It’s all an experiment in what works. Know that what you are doing now will change when school starts. It will change again when the weather changes, and when the holidays come. It will always be changing so focus on the time you set aside and how you sort through the chaos. The details will change but the foundations of the systems don’t have to.
Do you know one way to get joy? Give joy! Yep, making an effort to make other’s day, in turn, makes yours. We are built for community and when we serve others, there is a part of us that comes alive!
But, like a lot of good things in this world, we can forget just how easy this is. We make it harder than it has to be, our own insecurities can get in the way, and well, sometimes we are just so busy that we forget to think about it.
Well, guess what? Together, we are going to remind each other of just how powerful and simple this can be.
“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.” Proverbs 11:25
So how can we make this simple and remember to do it? That is what we are going to talk about in this episode and I am so excited about the action items from this week’s action items. You can literally do a few of them while you are still listening to this podcast!
-
Watch your face
-
Reach out and text someone
-
Serve strangers like they were Jesus
“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ Matthew 25:40
-
Greet others with excitement, love, and like they are the most important person
-
Use your gifts in the small humble ways
-
Pray for the people you see. Give me your eyes by Brandon Heath. Exercise your empathy and ask God how you can serve those around you.
We all serve our families….but are we doing it in a joyful way or are we building resentment and looking to see if our husbands are doing as much as we are or even just grumble when we do laundry.
But when we don’t serve our families with joy….it just brings more non-joy feelings to our life.
Remember last week when we talked about Joy being a fruit of the spirit. When we follow the instructions for life in the bible, it moves us closer to experiencing these fruits including joy.
Again, it’s not that we are not serving our family. We are taking care of the kids, cleaning the house, prepping meals, shopping, taking care of doctor appointments, medications, school involvement and so much more. The issue isn’t doing it...it’s the spirit in which we do that can be an issue.
I know for me, I want to serve my family with joy but our intentions and reality are not always the same. I have been praying about this for a bit of time and the one thing that God showed me was this.
There are three things that keep me from experiencing joy in serving my family.
- Forgetting that this is what God created me to do. When I lose focus on the biblical principles at play, I get focused on the equality of the housework, and my own needs above the needs of my family.
- Reactive. When I plan my schedule and to-do list tightly and I get interrupted to fill a need, I lose it. There is no joy there.
- When I become a martyr and not take care of my own needs.
Can you relate to these? Let’s talk about some solutions.
- Get in the word of God. If you are in the Life Balance Membership, take the Setting Goals in God’s will Bible study...pay special attention to the parenting, marriage, and home versus. When we can make the bible personal to use and remember the instruction for our creator it makes all the difference. Life gets noisy so we have to ensure that we are tapped into the vine often and not allow the world to disconnect us.
- Ok, I am not a fan of the whole take care of yourself before you talk care of anyone movement. And here is why….it’s a slippery slope. But we do have to take care of ourselves. This is what that looks like: Remember, there is no reward for taking care of everyone else and not yourself.
- Reactive vs proactive. I don’t like to be interrupted. I find that the older I get, the more I don’t like it. I don’t see this changing anytime soon. But, when I can serve my family by being proactive about their needs it does two things...1. It focuses my heart and mind on them and what they might need from me. And 2. It allows me to show my love for them and allows them to experience that love. Give them space (treat others how you would want to be treated) which means creating white space when they are around.
Welcome to our summer joy series! The next 4 episodes are designed to help bring more joy into your life and this episode we are kicking it off by talking about what Joy is.
Joy is the silence of striving. It’s more than contentment...it’s like a mix of gratitude and contentment. It comes from the inside and is not swayed by outside circumstances. Fruit of the spirit is like real fruit. It needs to be attended to for healthy growth and it takes time. So how do you get there?
- Accept the holy spirit
- Grow in your faith by
- Reading the word of god
- Pray and have quiet time with the Lord
- Drown out the world and make God bigger
Worship and song is a great way to do this. For one, it has a big influence on our thoughts and emotions like nothing else can. If you need to renew your mind and keep your spirit in alignment with God vs the world, this a great way to do it.
When it comes to summertime, music provides such a big part of the season. I have many memories of summer concerts, driving with the windows down and the radio up, and music playing while playing in the background while we play in the water, the backyard, or camp.
Adding in an awesome summer soundtrack can have a big impact on the joy that you experience this season. The words and melody that you hear and sing along with will impact your heart and mind. This keeps you in alignment with God, growing you faith and growing in the fruit of the spirit.
Did you know that you are a leader regardless of the position that you hold at work or in the community? We all are! God created each of us to lead others and have a positive influence. So how do we grow in this area? Our guest, Dr. Artika Tyner, shares a simple strategy to help you win in leadership and become the leader that God has called you to be.

Do you ever feel like you are just flying by the seat of your pants and making it up as you go as a mom? Yep, we all do. We have goals and dreams of how we want to parent but then we meet our kids and real-life happens and it gets harder to stick to those ideals that we set. In this episode, we are joined by parenting expert and coach Teresa Vining. She is here to help us come back to those things that really matter and give us the tools to make them a reality to be the best mom we can be.

A big part of Christian life is worship. While there are many different ways that we worship our Lord, music can create such an emotional way of connecting with God. When we go through different seasons, that can be even more important to lean on God through worship. This can grow your faith in a big way and in this episode, we are joined by award-winning recording artist, Ginny Owens to dive into this topic. Ginny shares her story of how God has shown up in her life through music and how God helped bring her through a season of burnout in her career.
Ginny has a new album and an accompanying book called Singing In The Dark. If you want to grow in how you worship, this is for you!

Have you ever wondered what financial steps are best to take once you have the basics like budgeting and emergency fund in place? What about real estate investing? Real estate investing is a great way to passively add income to your family (I mean, as a working mom it's awesome to have something that doesn't add more time to your full calendar), contribute to your retirement, and it's a great way to bless others and further the kingdom of God.
We are joined by Richelle Delia to provide tips on how to get started, find out if it's right for you, and shed light on the ever-important question.....is this the right move for right now?
As working moms, we all have times in our lives when the systems that we have created for balance get interrupted. It could be for something small like a vacation, or it could be something bigger like a change in a career or even a huge schedule change during a season. We will be covering both of these scenarios in this episode and giving you the steps you need to get back on track when one of these things happens to you!

When we talk about life balance, if it’s possible, and how we define it….there is a background to it. What we teach at Your Life Rocks is biblically-based. It’s about being obedient to the word of God. When we are in alignment with his word, chaos has no standing.
Now, with our aim when it comes to balance, or setting goals, the aim is not perfection. The aim is obedience. Every time. It’s not about us, it’s about him. It’s when we allow ourselves to be less than in any area of life that we are making it about us or about our flesh. In this two-part series, we are going to the Bible to see what it says about balance and about the different areas of life (yes, all 8 are in the Bible).

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be an adult because then I didn't have to live by anyone else's rules. Like we know for our kids, rules can be a good thing. They are boundaries to keep you on the straight and arrow. But when no one is there to create rules for your life....what do you do? How about setting your own rules for living that aligns with your goals and how you want your life to be.

We are fully redeemed through Jesus, but even today there are sacrificial offerings we can give to the Lord out of love. As working moms, we often feel deeply the things we sacrifice and might feel a little negative about the word sacrifice. But when we do this for God, it really is love. This is a practical look at what the Bible calls us to do.
What does a modern sacrifice look like?
Sacrifice of praise, Sacrifice of Glory, Sacrifice of self-control

It is the new year. It’s a time of fresh renewal and beginnings. A hope for reaching goals and having a fresh start with fresh new habits and we hope for a different outcome for ourselves. But by contrast of this season that we naturally find ourselves in as we start a new calendar year, there is turmoil around us.
I normally don’t like to talk about politics or world events too much on this podcast. There are other places you can go for that. I try to stay in my lane of providing you practical tips to help you as a working mom balance your life. But right now, I feel if I just ignore the events of the world I am doing you a disservice because if you don’t address the emotions you may be feeling, it could affect your success in reaching your goals.

I think we can all agree that it's been a rough year and it has been rough on marriages. What better time to revisit this interview with our marriage lifestyle expert, Kimberly Walton. Although this was first aired in summer 2019, I think a new year is a good time to renew some promises....in fact, why wait!
Kimberly Walton is the founder of CherishedWives.com where she provides support for women in creating the marriage they desire.

Do you have your kids do chores? As a working mom, this can be a hard battle. We want the best for our kids, but our time with them is limited so how do we set up a structure for chores that make sense, is easy to manage and enforce, but also helps our kids succeed? That is what we are diving into this episode! We are joined by a mom of 10 (yep, 10 kids), Ashley Buffa and she is sharing with us about chores. Listen in as we talk about why chores are important (and how chores really can save the world), how to figure out what chores your kids should be doing, and how to not let a chore system that you implement just fall by the wayside but actually work.

We are not just talking about physical health, but mental and spiritual health too.

I think it's time to renew our minds and reclaim 2020 for the Lord. This year so far has been a doozy. But it's time for us to live by faith and not be consumed by the things of this world.
In the past when I thought of "the things of the world", I thought of things like my goals, my ambition....not they are bad but it is easy to be consumed by them. But right now it's things like the upcoming election, Covid-19, the kid's school situation, civil unrest....
These things are consuming but I am reminded that while these are big things that can have an impact on our lives, they don't change Jesus. They don't change the power of the Spirit. They don't change our salvation or the call on my life or yours according to the will of God.
So, to be renewed, we need to focus on the things that are eternal. Let's reclaim this year. Let's shift our focus and be the light for others.

When we talk about balance, regardless of how you define it, you need to have three things.
-
God first in your life
-
Community and
-
Systems that help you live in a balanced way.
This week we are focusing on number two, community. There are many components to building community, but what we are focusing on this week is all about bringing in more joy to your life (because that is what this whole 7 week series is all about) by loving on others.
When we focus on others and love on them, it's easy to forget about the little things that are weighing us down. Plus, as you live in your purpose of building up others and loving on them, you are becoming more like Christ and that kind of alignment with the Spirit naturally produces more joy. Trust me. Give it a try and get ready to see some serious shifts in your life.

Summer refresh week five is here! This week we are getting super tactical and practical. This whole 7-week series is all about bringing more joy into your life. But here is the thing, it's hard to feel joy when we are distracted by the things undone around us. Whether we think about it or not, when our environment is not in order, it can cause stress, distraction and remind us of the things that need to be done and it can silently kill your joy. We are not talking about completely cleaning the house, in this episode, we are breaking it down and making it easy...promise.

Watch your kids and think about how they are just fully living life. They don’t care if they have gunk on their faces or if the house isn’t perfect, they just find joy. They dance like no one is watching, and sometimes dress that way too. If the clothes feel good, they want to wear them. Or if it’s what they like.
Do you remember doing the same thing when you were little? What things did you do that brought you joy? Today, we are revisiting those childhood joys and giving ourselves permission to reconnect with it. Now, you might not walk around with a milk mustache and your lunch all over your face without a care in the world, but hopefully, you will find even just one thing to reintroduce to your life to spark Joy.

When you hear “let it go” I am sure that it brings up ideas, thoughts, and beliefs that you already have set for yourself about letting stuff go. Why? Because we are always told to just let it go! Stress, grudges, worry….all of it. But it’s easier said than done.
Now, this summer series is all about bringing more Joy in your life and we can’t really get Joy if we are holding onto things that distract us from the joy God has for us in this life. So today we are going to talk a little about why it’s important to let it go, but more importantly, three steps to actually let it go.

Ok, being in quarantine with our loved ones can be a blessing. But given the stress we are under with COVID-19 and limitations on activities, it can create tension in any relationship. Especially as a working mom that is trying to work from home, manage distance learning, and more. In the second part of this series with Dr. Mariam Coaster, we are looking at stress and relationships and what you can do to ensure that your relationships stay strong.
Last week, we experienced part one: Dealing with the Stress In Us. I highly encourage you to listen to it if you have not already.

As we are kicking off the beginning of our career series, I think we need to acknowledge the fact that a lot of us are facing a new reality when it comes to our careers. And with that, we might have either seen a side of our company, boss, or just what we do for a living that makes us consider a career change or realized how blessed we are and want to stay and bloom where we are planted. Either way, the lessons and recommended actions shared by our guest are great for helping us listen to God and trust in his guidance with everything.
Today we are joined by Dayna Bickham, author, speaker, and founder of The Constant Creative.

Do you wish parenting was more peaceful? What if it can be? To end out our series about helping you be the mom you want to be, let’s revisit our conversation with Jessica Kastner.
She is going to give you all the best tips along the way. Jessica is an award-winning journalist, community leader, and a full-time working mom. She’s really entertaining and has so much wisdom, so I know you are going to get so much out of what she has to share.
Life balance starts first with the Word of God! Today’s Scripture is from both Jeremiah 3:15 and Matthew 9:37.
“And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” Jer 3:15
“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;” Matt 9:37
My hope in this interview is that you will learn and have a greater understanding of who you are and what Christ has called us to do in our lives as working parents. Jessica’s wealth of knowledge and deep understanding of the struggles of parenting more than qualifies her to speak into peaceful parenting. She’s been just about every kind of mom you can be since she started out as a single mom, lived the stay-at-home life, and is now working full time. Out of these experiences of challenge, struggle, love, laughter, Jessica wrote her book, Hiding From My Kids In My Prayer Closet. Jessica says her book was written so that other moms could laugh and share in their struggles together. So often in Christian circles, there seems to be an unwritten expectation of perfection. Jessica is reminding you today that it is just a lie you tell yourself. Jesus is perfect for us, and all he asks is faith!
Are you ready to bring some peace back to your parenting? Jessica’s tips might be just what you need!

Ok working moms, I think we can agree that parenting can be exhausting. And when you consider that it's the most important job that we have but have so many other things on our plates, it can be a challenge to try to give it our best all of the time. But what if it didn't have to be that way?
In this episode, I am talking with parenting expert Rachel Bailey and she shares 3 tips on how to make parenting less exhausting while giving your kids exactly what they need.
Rachel Bailey is a Parenting Specialist who has been serving families for over a decade. Besides being a mother of two, she also has a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, a certification in Positive Discipline, and has provided services as an ADHD Coach, in-home mentor, and therapist. Currently, Rachel teaches parents practical, longterm tools for raising responsible, resilient, confident children... while reducing the stress and guilt in parents' lives.
Her tips:
- Tip 1: Shift your mindset about kids' behavior to save energy AND foster more responsible, respectful behavior
- Tip 2: Stop in-the-moment parenting; taking a few specific proactive steps will save time and increase kids' resilience and self-esteem
- Tip 3: Focus on "self-treatment" instead of "self-care." Self-treatment takes less time and has more impact on both you and your kids.
Today, we are talking about how to set up the right structures to help you be successful to reach your goals, implement systems for balance, and really keeping you moving toward where you want to go as a working mom.
We are specifically going to be talking about this as it pertains to one of my favorite systems, weekly prep.
Weekly prep is one of the key systems that we talk about in helping you achieve balance. I so totally believe in this system, that I teach you how to do it totally for free in our Weekly Success Planning course that you can find inside the Your Life Rocks app or by going to Weekly success Planning.com

I am joined by organizational change management expert and author of Oasis in Time, Marilyn Paul. She walks us through not only the importance of taking the time to stop and connect but also the steps to making this a reality for you in your life.

So, with last week ending a series and next week starting a series, we are in a week of transition. And really that is what this week has been all about….meaning the week between Christmas and New Year. It is my favorite week of the year because it is quiet, there isn’t that much going on and I can just breath, think, and be.
Every year I use this week to reflect on areas of my life, give gratitude, dream a little and just talk to God about bigger things than I normally get to on a daily basis. I go through a process that allows me better insight to setting goals and getting ready to accomplish them.
It is this exact system that I have been teaching to our Life Balance members this week. If you are not a life Balance member, you can still join us! The great thing is that we are walking through a pre-recorded course that you can start really at any time. It’s a 7-day new program that has been added to the membership and it will help you get clear on your goals in a whole new way.
In this episode, I wanted to share with you three of the principles that we teach in this program. It’s a different way of setting goals than most people do, but so highly effective.
This is our last episode in our Walking with Jesus series! Leading up to Christmas we have been hearing the testimonies of other working moms and their stories have been so inspiring!
This week we hear from Ami Clemente as she shares how her faith became real through her journey into motherhood. Through prayer and faith, God performed miracles against all odds. This is a story about God’s power, and that even in darkness, if it’s not good it’s not done. The light wins and the victory is ours!
Join us in Life Balance Membership as we get ready for the new year in a whole new way! We start live on December 26th, but you can join anytime and go through the recorded 7-day training. We will be taking an assessment of each area of life, seeking God, and setting a clear vision for the first 90-days of the new year! This new training will help you clear the fog and set you up for the best year yet! Start your free 7-day trial by clicking here.
Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus. Each week leading up to Christmas we will hear a testimony of what Jesus is doing in the life of a fellowing working mom. It's my hope that through hearing these powerful stories, we will keep our focus on what we are really celebrating at Christmas.
This week we hear from Emily Will as she shares her testimony of how God answered her prayers in his own timing and in his own way. Have you ever thought that God wasn't going to answer your prayer? Emily saw God's faithfulness after 5 years! By trusting God and waiting on his timing, the answered prayer was so much better because of the lessons learned and the blessings that came along with it.

Last week we talked about how to come back when we face burnout. This week, we are talking about the other thing that takes us away from being the best we can be...falling out of balance. More importantly, we are talking about how you can get back on track after you have fallen off your balance.
Here's the thing, balance is not a place to arrive to. It’s not an accomplishment. It is a verb. It’s an action that we choose to take each day in our lives to be the best version of ourselves in all that God has called us to be.

Well, the first month of 2019 is in the books. How was this month for you? Did you move closer to your goals? Are you living in the intentions that you set in the new year? The funny thing about life is that it moves pretty fast. We plan, we live and we move on. But the best way to really learn, grow and see what God is doing in our lives is by taking a moment to look back. In this episode of the Your Life Rocks podcast, that is what we are doing. I will walk you through the steps to take at the end of each month so you can stack the rocks and remember what God brought you through.
Main points from the show:
- Review the previous month making a list of all the substantial events
- Take time to think of each one and journal what the significance of the event was.
- Reflect on what God has done through these events
- Select 3 things that you did, decisions you made, habits you built that you are proud of and want to continue
- Select a few things (no more than 3) that God is working on in you. Like lessons, you are learning from the situations of the previous month.

It's our final week of the challenge and we are talking about a controversial topic. Is life balance possible? As working moms, we are doing the very best we can to hold it all together. Then to have someone say that balance is not possible. Something has to give. You know what will give? Your honest to goodness effort to try. And it is a slippery slope when you start to lower the bar. It will keep getting lower and lower and lower until one day, you will look up and wonder… who is this person? This is not me.
It’s not about being perfect or proving something to someone. It’s not about being in denial or being a martyr. It’s about being the best version of you for those around you. It’s about leaning on God’s strength when you don’t have strength of your own.
It’s about choosing each and every day that, that day is worth it to give it your all and believing that yes, you can do this life. The life that God called you to. The life that God blessed you with.

This week’s challenge is about cultivating your community. Yes, we have talked about this before. In fact, it is one of the pillars to having balance in your life. If you are new to the show, we believe that Life Balance is possible when you have three things. 1. You put God first in your life. Following Jesus. 2. Is community and 3 is systems.
Why is community so important? Because when you live your life in a vacuum all your problems seem bigger than they actually are. We become self-focused and self-consumed and it’s just not good. We were not designed to live that way. Plus, as a working mom, we need help. We need prayer. And we need accountability from other Godly women in our lives.
Honestly, this was the hardest thing for God to teach me. Following him, yes. All day long. I wasn’t raised a Christian so I know all too well what life feels like without him. And systems, well after I first rebelled against them, I now know that following systems is my self-care. It makes it all work.
But community? I am pretty self-reliant and independent. Plus, I am an introvert...so this was a hard one for me. Not to mention I am human and have lived. Meaning I have been hurt by people. Deeply. So why not just live on an island (metaphorically speaking) with my family and that just be enough? Well, a lot of reasons but let me give you 3 of what I believe are the top reasons.
(You gotta listen to get them!)
Life can be so cloudy. It’s hard to tell what is true, and I believe we are natural truth seekers. Think about how much chaos this can cause?
On today's show, we are taking those lies we tell ourselves, pulling them out into the light, looking them square in the eyes and telling them they are not welcome here anymore. Truth only.

Work, kids, to do list, demands, sleep, repeat. As a working mom, you are leading a very full and busy life. Like I had to tell you that, right?
On this show, we talk a lot about habits and routines because they are the key to making it all work. They are the success drivers of our lives. Without them, chaos ensues. If you have ever missed your weekly planning process, then you know. If you are currently living without any systems then you really know. Chaos can drown you. When you have systems and habits, life is easier.

Have you found a career yet? And is it fulfilling you, allowing you to use your gifts and perhaps to even further the Kingdom of God? As a working mom, it can be really hard sometimes to find career guidance from a Christian perspective. We firmly believe that you can further the kingdom of God, regardless of where you are. And that God can use you, regardless of where he has planted you.
We have an expert guest, Janine Esbrand, with us today and we will be talking all about career. I am really excited about today's interview, as I was able to ask Janine some questions about the subject of careers that I have seen come up in our community. So, on the show today, we will be tackling topics that relate to how to handle a change in career with your family, how to present the change to your family, how to figure out where your strengths lie and move through everything smoothly. Listen in to find out more.

When pursuing balance in every area of your life, you need to take a hard look at your finances. For some, sticking to a budget or saving for something special is all it will take to bring a bit more balance to that area. For others, they are looking to take their finances beyond budgeting. If you are one of those families that is ready to start investing, this episode is for you! My guest today is Susan Jeanach from Modern Suzy. She has some principles and tools that any family can start using to bring up their financial literacy about investing!
When we talk about money, we tend to get overwhelmed with investing. Susan makes these topics extremely accessible, and easy enough even for a novice like me to understand. Take some of these tools and put them into action. Ask God what He is calling you to do with your finances, and in faith take practical steps towards improving your investments.

In order to make your life as balanced as possible, you need to have good people in your life to support you. Friendship is so important for all of us, and I wanted to dedicate a whole podcast episode to it. As working moms, it can be difficult to create new friendships and maintain old ones. What can we do to help make space in our hearts for our most invaluable friendships, even in the middle of all that we have going on?
My guest today is one of my closest friends, and she has so many amazing tips and suggestions for those of us who want to cultivate friendship.
What do you do after work?
This question comes directly from our wonderful Your Life Rocks Facebook Community! It is a wonderful place to be if you would like even more encouragement from other working moms. The issue of what happens after our 9-5 is a common enough question. That time tends to go fast, and we can easily get overwhelmed by our to-do list and the needs of our families.

One of the biggest reasons working moms pursue life balance is so that their children will have an enriching and fulfilling life. Especially as children get older, it can be more and more difficult to find the time and creative ways to connect with them. That is why I am so excited to have Joy Acaso back on the podcast this week! She is going to share with us her best tips for connecting deeply with our children.

You’ve got a fantastic idea about what your Ideal Week would look like, and now you are ready to hit the ground running. Before you can dive right in, it’s important to stop and think about the mindset you need when it comes to true life balance. Let’s be real; life has a habit of not going according to plan, even the best plans! When you go into your ideal week focusing on perfection, you are going to be let down by reality. Life isn’t perfect! So what do we need to look forward to with our Ideal Week? It’s progress!

Balance looks really different for all of us—what works for me might not work for you! In order to know what is going to serve you best, you are going to need to understand what makes you tick. This way, we can work proactively with our nature instead of against it. Today, you are going to spend a little time getting to know yourself with Kelly Knowles and The Color Code. Like Meyers-Briggs and the Enneagram, the Color Code is a personality assessment that we can use to understand how we best interact and communicate with one another.

What does your ideal week look like? Not your actual week, but the one you wish you had! I am a big believer in reaching towards the ideal week, and, yes, I believe you can actually live it out. Let’s have a conversation about what makes a week ideal, and how we can take steps towards turning ideals into reality.
If we are going to talk about the ideal week, we have to talk about time management. It is time to ask ourselves: Is the way I’m using my time actually building me up to creating balance in my life? If the answer is “no,” then we need to start putting the important things down on the calendar. Don’t just put the big things down, and go ahead and add the to-do list to the calendar too! God is clear about how we are to be diligent, hardworking, and intentional, but all of our lives look quite different. By taking a good hard look at how we spend our time, we are honoring that standard God has set for our lives.

If you’ve spent any time with me in person or on this podcast, you will know that I fully believe in the power of personal development. Many people in Christian circles have a few hesitations when it comes to personal development. Shouldn’t the Bible be sufficient for us? Are you worried about false teaching? These questions are valid, and in today’s episode, you are going to hear my loving response to these reservations. Instead, I think we need to focus our attention on a different question.

How are your New Years Resolutions going? Here on the Your Life Rocks Podcast, we tend to focus more on intentions than resolutions because we want to live fully in God’s will. Intentions allow room for God to grow and challenge us. That being said, let’s check in with some of our health goals so far. Health is about far more than a certain diet or avoiding specific foods. We know that good health is found in a holistic lifestyle. After all, God doesn’t care about what size we are or the number we see on the scale. He cares more about our intention and care we are placing in our health.
When thinking about the health of your family, do you ever struggle with the dreaded “Mom Guilt?” Sometimes, preparing healthy meals can be a real struggle. That is why I love Prep Dish so much! Prep Dish is a meal service crafting beautiful, healthy dishes that are Gluten Free and Paleo! With me today is Chef Allison Schaaf, the founder of Prep Dish. She embodies the kind of commitment to an overall healthy lifestyle built on whole, nutritious foods.

Since the intention of this podcast is to help you build balance into your everyday life, I wanted to take a moment to think about the purpose behind one of my favorite systems. Weekly Prep is one of my favorite things to discuss on the show. It’s a habit that has allowed me so much freedom and breathing room throughout the week, and I know it will change your life too. Beyond just giving you the practical steps for weekly prep, I also wanted to challenge your perspective on it.
Let’s check in with our purpose today. I don’t complete my Weekly Prep to make my life easier, although it does most of the time! In fact, it’s not about me at all. As I plan my week, I use the system as an opportunity to remind my husband and my children that I am serving and caring for them. Think about it as a way to speak into the lives of the people you love. It’s a way to say, “I’ve got your back!”

Systems and Structure: I need it, but I don’t always love it. We talk a lot on this show about systems and routines that build up life-giving habits because I believe it really is the root of a balanced life. While I sometimes wish I didn’t have to stick to the system quite as closely as I do, I always miss it when it’s not there. Since taking this new opportunity in my career, I find myself longing for my old routines and habits that made life flow just a bit more easily. Today, let’s take a moment to think critically about why we need to set up routines, and where they might be most effective!

Here it is—we’ve come to the source of my Mom guilt. Baby books. My children are 10 and 8, and I still don’t have photo books for them. Yikes! For so long, I saw baby books as a task that I would never have time to do as a working mother. In my pursuit of balance, I somehow managed to overlook the importance of preserving these memories. However, 2018 is the year that I will suffer the Mom Guilt no more! This is precisely why I am thankful to have Melissa Liberman on the show today. Melissa is going to bestow on us her secrets to scrapbooking success.

In this episode, we are diving into the topic of stress. I mean, who doesn't have stress in our lives, right? We all know that it is just a part of our every day, but how can we effectively deal with it?
Luckily, we have an expert guest to help us out. Gina Poirier is a happily married mom of three, stress management coach and writer who helps overwhelmed, exhausted moms find peace and purpose in the everyday. Check out free resources for Christian moms at ginampoirier.com, where "Wiping noses for Jesus is legit!"
Gina has put together some great tips for us on this topic. I hope you have a listen as she shares her insight. Here is the outline of our conversation.
-
Create a healthy perspective about stress. Stress is not a bad thing. It was designed by God for our good. Once we can see stress in our lives from a neutral place, we can be better equipped to deal with it in a healthy way.
-
Know you can't always control stress but you can control your stress response. Let's talk about stress resiliency. As you begin to build up this up for yourself, here are the things to think about.
Physical- Taking care of your body with good nutrition, staying hydrated, exercise, and getting the right about of sleep for yourself.
Emotional/Mental- Setting boundaries, minimizing toxic self-thinking, working on better relationships, limit screen time.
Spiritual- See point three.
- Taking spiritual rest. God created us to do amazing things, but he also called us to slow down and rest. The Bible calls us to this over and over and God has set examples through nature and through his own actions as well. It's about celebration and showing gratitude. So choose your Sabbath. Pray about it and see how God would have you implement this into your life.

When we talk about the three pillars for working moms to find balance, the number one thing is to have more Jesus in your life. Specifically, turning every part of your life over to Jesus. Not holding onto any part of it in your own strength.
It's easier said than done. Listen as we dive deep into this topic and I give you some action steps to help you turn each part of your life over to God.

I talk a lot about life balance and I help working Christian moms create more balance in their lives. But why? Why not just buy into the cultural norm that says balance isn't possible? Because it's a world view, not a Biblical view. Balance is alignment with God's will for how we are to live our lives. This is a two-part episode. If you missed part 1, go back and have a listen. In this episode, we are diving into what it means to set biblical goals that set you up for balance in your parenting, home, friends/fun and career.

Here we are again, at the beginning of a high expectation season. For me, expectations equal stress, which is why this is so ironic. Summer time is supposed to be a casual, easy time. No stress.
But let’s be real. We only get a handful of summers with our kids before they are grown up. And if you are like me, we want to help them make some great memories of summer time. Plus, summer is a great time of growth for kids, both physically and otherwise.
The real cause for the stress from expectations? The comparison game. It’s strong come summer time. For me, it starts with all the summer time movies of awesome camps, cookouts, time spent at the lake, amazing Fourth of July scenes where there doesn’t seem to be a lot of crowds and everyone is having a good time. It creates a false expectation of the laid back, fun in the sun summer. Then we can add a second layer of comparison with social media.
Seeing people talk about their travel plans, fun things they are going to do, their kids dressed up in cute summertime outfits and mini sunglasses. It can stress you out. Well, it stresses me out.
But, what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could be intentional about your summer and design it...almost like a work project?
Let’s do it!
Alright, so let’s start with a goal. What is your desired outcome for the summer?
Let’s go a bit deeper here than “just have fun”. Think about coming into September and looking back on the summer and answer these questions.
- What do you want your kids to learn this summer?
- How do you want them to describe the summer?
- How do you want to describe the summer?
Now that you have a goal and a direction to go in, let’s lay out the realities of the situation.
Let’s talk timeline and budget.
First, timeline.
Pull out a calendar with your kids and count the days of summer. How many days do they have?
Next, write out all the activities that they already have planned. Summer camp, VBS, going to grandmas…..
Then, and without your kids knowing what you are doing, look at your work calendar and their activity calendar and count how many full days you have with them.
Chances are, it’s not a lot. Now there are a lot of things that you can do in the evenings and even before work. Things you can set them up with for while you are working. We can still make an impact toward the goals for them while we are working, but knowing how many full days we have will give us a reality to base activities off of to reach our overall objective.
So, how many days do you have with them?
Now that we have a clear goal and timeline, let’s look at the budget. How much money do you have to spend on summer this year? Obviously, some of your already allocated budgets can go to having an awesome summer. Things like food can make a big impact.
This is where stress can start to come in. Some of the expectations that we have for summer require a lot of time and/or money. If we don’t have the time and money to create that expectation, that is where we can have the adult version of a temper tantrum. We don’t call it that, we call it stress and guilt.
However, by being intentional about it ahead of time we can take an objective look at the situation, and choose something different.
Look at your budget and talk to your husband. How much money can you put toward summer activities and fun? Whatever the number is, you can work with it. Just like you do every day. You are creative and resourceful.
Now that we have laid the groundwork, it’s time to start planning the fun stuff!
Next up, brainstorming session. Make a family summer bucket list. This has been a tradition of our family for a while. I ask the kids what they want to do this summer. Actually, I ask them, “if we do nothing else this summer, what are the 2-3 things that you want to be sure we do? What are you must do’s?”
They give me their top 2-3 things and we write it down. Now, just for fun, we write it down on a big sheet of paper. You know the ones, easel paper with sticky note stuff on the back? I highly recommend buying one of the easel paper packs with a dry erase front to have at your home. We use it all the time for games, planning, school work. It’s only about $35 and a great tool. Click here to see what I’m talking about.
Then, I write down my 2-3 things that are my must-dos and my husband does the same.
Looking at the kid's list, you want to compare it to the calendar.
This momma, is where we need to stay in check. Often times, we want to be involved in all the special times. We plan things so that we are the center of what is going on. We gotta let that go. What is important is that the kids are getting what they need, regardless of who is giving it to them. As a working mom, you may have already overcome this. But if not, pray about it. We can’t make it about us, we have to keep it about the kids.
Ok, so look at their list and see if they are already getting some of the things from the list. For example. My son wants to go fishing. He already has a fishing trip planned with his uncle. Sweet, done. Now in truth, we will probably go fishing a lot because it’s and moves us closer to our goals of quality time outside an unplugged from electronics (that is my goal for the kids this summer). But, if we weren’t able to go more often we can still cross it off the list.
Now, let’s come back to the point I was talking about earlier….about your involvement with the list. Look at the list and pick just 1-2 things that are most important that you are there with the kids for.
For so many of my past summers, my husband was staying at home with the kids and would take them places and have fun during the day. That was his job. I can remember coming home from work and hearing about a movie that they went to go see. It was a movie that the kids were really looking forward to seeing and knew they would be talking about it a ton. And I wasn’t there to watch it with them. It wasn’t about the movie, it was about feeling like I was missing out on an inside joke. It’s the little things that can make being a working mom hard.
After that experience, I started communicating the things that were important that I was there for. That way my husband and anyone else taking care of them knew that I wanted to do those things with the kids. Making summer memories are just as much for you as it is for the kids. These are memories of your babies youth that you will carry with you as they grow. Speak up without guilt.
Now, let’s put all the pieces together. Let’s plan this summer!
I have put all the pieces that we talked about in a handing planning guide for you complete with your calendar, and many more bonuses to intentional make this summer awesome. Click here to let me know the best email to send it to.
We have to align the time available with the activity and when the budget is available. This can be a balancing act, but I know you can do it. There isn’t a lot I can tell you on this part because it will be different for each family.
Now that you have the major events planned for summer, let’s talk about the small stuff. Sometimes this is where the magic really happens. For this section, we are going to break it up into practical and the awesome.
The practical:
Let’s talk summer routines for kids. This is a bit of a hard one. Well, it can be. We will be having an expert sharing about this inside our Life Balance Membership as part of our intentional summer series. If you are not yet a member, now is a great time to join so you get all the extras and bonuses that go along with the summer series.
For me, I will be mandating a bedtime and wake up time but it will be very generous. Instead of a schedule, I am creating a checklist and using some of what Lindsay McCarthy shared a few episodes back. If you missed that episode, it was #75. She is the co-author of Miracle mornings for parents and families.
While we are talking about practical things, let's talk about your supply list. Here is a link to my recommendations from Amazon. But like my husband says, you have to have the right tool for the job. Things like Sunscreen, sing ointment, water bottles, and the fun stuff like glow sticks and sidewalk chalk. Look at your list of activities and determine what items you will need and get them ahead of time. Did you know if you click here and shop Amazon you are helping to support the Your Life Rocks podcast?
When I was growing up, my mom was not very practical. You won’t hear me talk a lot about my mom because it’s just too painful to share much about, but I will say this. She was really great at making things special and magical. I am so thankful that God gave me that through her.
This is the fun stuff. There are a lot of little inexpensive things you can do to make summer special. From building a fort out of blankets and letting your kids sleep in it to pancakes that are the shape of the sun (yes the sun is a circle and so are pancakes but it’s all in the presentation). Think of the things your kid's love, and work that in.
We have a party on the last day of school. We don’t invite people over, but we celebrate. The kids get a summer survival kit complete with flashlights, glowsticks, art supplies, and fishing gear. They love it and it makes an official launch into summer.
Any little thing like family walks after dinner, ice pops in the freezer and sparklers on evenings that aren't the fourth of July. They all work together to create memories with your kiddos, and for you.
Don’t underestimate the effect food can have. The smells and tastes of summer can be amazing, so dive in! Inside Life Balance Membership I will be sharing a few of my favorite summertime recipes. Really, don’t think these things are not important because they are. The smell of the barbecue, corn on the cob, strawberries, and crawfish bakes. They are the food of summer time for us. What food reminds you most of the summer? Ask your kids the same question and make sure you include those foods often this year.
Now that we have talked about executing project summer awesomeness, let’s talk about review your progress. Please hear me when I say, hold these plans loosely. Slow down and breath deep. Remember your intentions at the start of this process. Remember the desired outcome. Sometimes we get so attached to the tactics, the stuff in the middle. Give yourself lots of grace. Know that not everything will go as planned. Don’t stress. Be as present as a possible. Listen to the stories your kids tell. Teach them things. Laugh, skip, and splash in the water with them. Summertime is precious. Just like every other time in the year. It’s a blessing. Thank God for what he has given and pray for safety and that the kids would get a better glimpse of him as they play in the sun.

I love having time to myself to read a good devotional and go deeper in the word of God. I could spend hours reading Beth Moore, or many other Bible teachers. Those moments are precious but not many.

By now I think we all know the benefits of a great morning routine and if you have read and put in practice the Miracle Morning for yourself, then you know first hand how transformative it can be. Especially for working moms like us that so badly need that quiet time for ourselves and with Jesus. Have you ever thought about putting in a similar routine for your kids? This episode we have the co-author of the book, Miracle Mornings for Parents and Families sharing 7 tips to implement this practice with your kiddos.
Ladies, the Bible calls us to be set apart. A lot of times we think about the actions that set us apart as Christians from the rest of the world....but what about your mindset? The Bible also talks many many times about the renewing of our minds. So why do we allow our minds to be in alignment with the world? I get it. It is tough being a woman trying to find work-life balance. You have a ton on your plate and it is hard. That is where the world will tell you balance is not possible. That you can't have it all. That you should just brace yourself for the stress and chaos because there is nothing you can do about it. It might be entertaining to relate to memes on the internet or videos about ranting moms slipping in curse words....but is that who you are? Or are you the daughter of the king? Are you capable of all things because of who strengthens you?
In this episode, I share my heart on the subject of mindset, balance, and how as Christian working moms we can balance it all and walk it out in faith. Plus I share a bit about my story and how I overcame the dark places of unbalance in my life.
In this episode, I share some of the best hacks and tips for Christian working moms. Some of these tips will help you in your career, others for your marriage, home, fitness, or parenting. I hope this list of 10 hacks blesses you and helps to clear some chaos and create some balance in your life. Have more hacks that you want to share? Join us in our community, www.YourLifeRocks.com
