Today we’re talking about working from home with kiddos present. This is something I saw many more of you mamas jump into during the pandemic, a time where you may have had to work a full-time job at home while also managing your child’s online learning. I supported many moms through this season, and I do believe it has changed the way we think of working from home. I get that there are people who will criticize working from home when your kids are home. But the truth is that many moms do not have the option or the luxury of childcare to choose from. So this episode is geared toward you moms who are trying to manage work or growing a business while you have kids at home part or all of the time.

The most important ingredient for that first sale is the self-belief that there is someone out there that wants what you have to offer.
Would you love to feel more confident growing your business?
How would it feel to trust you have enough time, energy, and capacity to grow it, yes, even if you’ve got kids at home?

Welcome to episode 112 of the Fully In It Podcast. On today’s show I have a guest joining me, Sara Curto, a career coach who’s calling is to help people find their dream jobs and feel more fulfilled in life overall. Sara is one of my favorite people – she’s a mama who is raising her family with so much heart and intention, she’s a fellow entrepreneur who is following her intuition in creating a wildly successful business, a nature enthusiast and travel lover, and finally she was a long-time private client of mine. So it was a complete honor to have her on the show and share more of her story and how she moved from working in corporate to becoming an entrepreneur. We actually recorded this episode last year, but it got put on the backburner as I was dealing with a death in our family and had to put the podcast on pause. The really cool thing about it running right now, if you happen to catch this when it first comes out, is that next week, the first week of April 2023, Sara is running a 5 day training called Fix Your Job Search Coaching Week. You can find out more about it and register by heading to @sarathecareercoach on Instagram.

Welcome to the Happier in Motherhood Podcast, episode 82. Today I have a super special guest on, Sarah Bennett of Onle Organics. Sarah is a homeschooling, nomadic mama of 4 who lives part-time on 10 acres of absolute paradise in MT when she and her family aren’t roaming the US in their Airstream. Sarah and I have known each other online since about 2015 because of both of our families love of traveling full-time although we didn’t actually meet in real life until last July 2021, which we recount more of that story in this interview. In 2020, she started her business, Onle Organics, to help mamas take leadership of their family’s wellness. Her business has completely taken off and she offers education and products to support families to go from simply surviving to absolute vibrant wellness. In July 2020, Sarah and I began coaching together, and she is also a member of the current round of my group coaching program for mom entrepeneurs called Micro Mastermind. It has been such an honor to watch Sarah grow, both in her motherhood and as a business owner, and I think you are going to be so inspired her story. It’s also a very real conversation and some of this may be borderline not safe around kids. Use your best judgment . Stay tuned for the end of the episode where I share how you can connect with Sarah online and also a special invitation.

Loved this episode on the Supportive 4?
In June, I will be teaching a BONUS in-depth training on the Supportive 4 to a very limited number of mamas.
How might your life positively change if you commit to digging into the big picture for your family, overcome challenging expectations, and take action on the home and days you want?
Here's the deets:
We will spend about 4-5 hours (weekly group deep-dive video calls) tailoring the Supportive 4 to your life and needs.
Then you'll have my full attention on you during your private 45 minute coaching calls with me for the next 6 months, so that you can quickly overcome obstacles and overwhelm in real time.
Some ways you might use this method if you join me in June:
- creating a new daily routine
- organizing your home
- re-imagining your homeschool approach
- simplifying your daily schedule to create more breathing room
- bringing passion back to your marriage
- creating a self-care routine for your mind and body
- leveling-up in your business or career
The BONUS Supportive 4 training in June will be like hitting the accelerator, and I cannot wait to walk a few mamas through this method live and grow together as a tight-knit group.
It'll be the ONLY time I teach it live in 2021, and you'll get access to it, completely for free, when you sign-up for 1:1 coaching by May 31st.
(Are you a current 1:1 client? You'll get access to the video recordings in July because I LOVE you, of course.)
Coaching with me keeps getting better and better.

What I’m going to share with you today is how to create a powerfully calm parenting approach that will positively impact your relationship with your kids and with yourself. If you’ve been feeling like you’re super struggling with parenting lately, you’re feeling the guilt and the frustration, and you need a clear plan out, this episode is for you.
Today’s episode is also part of a special series of episode topics I’ll be sharing over the next several weeks as I launch my debut e-course called “5 Weeks to a Simplified Home, Calm Mind, and Connected Days.” I’ve taken everything I’ve learned over the last 10 years and through my training in the simplicity parenting method to create a very unique e-course that I truly believe can change your home life in 5 weeks.

On this podcast, I commonly share ways to overcome your own struggles, to be an example for your family, and create the change you want to see in the world in your home first. The way that I teach this is through knowing and living by your family values. In this episode, I’m going to share how the crises of 2020 are the catalyst for refining your family values and beliefs, while making sure you’re actually living by them. This is not a light episode and I will be talking about current events. But this work is necessary and so let’s jump in.
Do you ever feel like you can't get anything done because your kids, your partner, your home, or your situation is holding you back? In this episode, I share the concept of agency or the belief in yourself and your ability to take action in your days. This episode will empower you to see yourself and your situation differently.
Last week we covered what to do if you’re experiencing a problem that makes you feel stuck in your life, which I called tunnel vision. It’s the idea that you can’t see outside your situation because each day looks exactly the same. If you missed the 4 steps to overcoming tunnel vision, go back to episode 28 before listening to this one because they go together. Today, we are going to dive deep into creating a new vision for your family life. I cannot think of a better time to do this work than right now. And I mean right now. It doesn’t matter if you’re listening to this the day it comes out or in 3 years. Do this work right away. Let’s get to it.
Show notes can be found here.
Feeling stuck on the daily? Struggling with a problem you just can't seem to solve? This episode really builds on what I talked about in last week’s episode on leaving the comfort zone and what the last 18 months or so have looked like for us. What I want to talk about in this episode is what to do if you’re in a situation where you can’t see clearly where you’re going because the problems at home are creating tunnel vision.
This episode is going to really cut to the chase of what I’ve been thinking about lately and processing. It’s about getting out of the comfort zone that many of us are currently in and being brave enough to forge the path that you know you are meant for. I’m going to get a bit vulnerable and real with you, something that I don’t always do, but it needs to happen. This isn’t a parenting episode, this isn’t going to give you tips for how to create routines or anything else comforting like that. We’ve had enough of that. Let’s get real, talk truth, and jump on in.
When we think of who we truly want to be as women and mothers, habit shifts usually come to mind as the first step. I'm going to challenge the idea that you need to change yourself and instead encourage you to dig deeper into who you are called to become. This episode will not only give you the tools to change habits, but to choose the right ones for you.

I will teach you exactly how to overcome feeling vulnerable or judged by others for your choices and to feel strength and joy in becoming who you are meant to be.

If you’re tired of feeling overly busy, stretched, and wondering if this is how family life will always be, take a deep breath and join me for this episode on slow living. Notes from the episode: * a glimpse into why slow living might be a balm to your overwhelmed soul and also some thoughts on how to move in that direction even if your days remain full. * slow living is the intentional act of lessening the pace of family life to create more peace within the home, connection among the family, and space for children to enjoy their childhood. Slow living is a tiny act of rebellion, a way of carving a line in the sand of these are our values and we are choosing to live by them. * Busy living manifests through our fears, our perception of time, and cultural pressure.

What would it look like to approach your days courageously and step out of auto-pilot? Episode 17 is about facing your fears by rethinking your mindset, inviting inspiration back into your life, and creating a life of abundant courage. This episode is for anyone who wants to quit being ruled by her fear and to grow into her strength and agency as a woman and mother. Read on for more. Notes from the episode: * Joseph, the band and new album “Good Luck, Kid” * Your brain is on auto-pilot. By the time you’re 35, 95% of your thoughts create automatic actions and you have about 5% of your conscious brain to create a new path. * What would being courageous look like in your life? To feel like you have agency over your days and you can create a path for yourself and your family that excites you and brings you more joy? * Every day, wake up and ask yourself, “What thought do I need to hold about today to be successful?” * What inspires you to take action? To feel that bubble of excitement in your stomach and a lightness in your heart? * 3 ways I invite inspiration into my life: + vision board + surround myself with inspiring friends and a life coach + read motivating and challenging books and podcasts * Make yourself a list of things you want to try but you’ve been too scared to. Then start doing 1 thing a week that terrifies you. Do the mindset work beforehand to make sure you’re ready and won’t chicken out. Surround yourself with inspiration and then go for it. The more you do things that scare you, the greater in abundance your courage will grow. * You are braver than you think and stronger than your fears. Your fears do not own you or decide your life for you, you do.

Today’s episode of the Streamlined Motherhood Podcast features Kelsey Wharton, fellow podcaster, creative, and mom of 2. You may know her from the Girl Next Door Podcast with Erica Ladd, from her blog Rising*Shining or from the podcast she shares with her husband, Matrimoney. Kelsey has spent the majority of her adult years working in a full-time job outside the home as an academic science research writer and only recently quit to focus on her non-fiction book proposal. We discuss what it was like for her to experience both working outside the home and in it as well as how she prioritizes her creative work. She offers a litmus test for whether or not the work you’re doing is worth continuing and how limiting labels, such as stay at home mom or working mom, can be. Kelsey also shares time organization strategies and her favorite life hacks for making time for what matters most. We had such a fantastic conversation that I am sure Kelsey will be back on the show again in the future!

Have you ever spent some time thinking about what you really desire out of your life? What would your ideal life look like and how would you use your time? Sometimes it can feel hard to even think like this because of perceived limitations, whether real or not. Sometimes it can feel hard to think about our own dreams when we’re part of a partnership and are worried about how our partner might handle our dreams. And sometimes we might find it hard to think about our own dreams when we have so much responsibility on our shoulders, children to care for, a home to manage, and work to complete. Maybe you have a dream or idea on your mind but worry about the financial aspect of it, would it cost to much, would it use up your family’s precious resources, OR, if it’s a business idea, can I be profitable? In Episode 10, Kate shares a her journey to creating a life that she truly love and offers some practical advice for working through your own limitations.
In this episode:
- What to do if you’re feeling resistance to this topic
- Why Kate was drawn to living small, traveling, and creating a community of women thriving in motherhood and life
- Create a dream life by imagining how all of your different values and interest can work together
- Why travel isn’t enough for Kate and how she figured out what was missing from her life
- How to avoid allowing your path to be steered by an idealized view of yourself and motherhood (listen to Episode 2 for more.)
- Move beyond tidy boxes that force your identity into one side or the other; it’s okay to be unique and outside the box!
- Need help figuring out your dreams? Head here to work with Kate.
- Limiting beliefs:
-
- What if my partner isn’t supportive or it impacts our relationship?
- How can I pursue my dreams when everyone and everything is depending on me?
- I don’t have the time or money to do what I want and feel stuck.

F.lux app for Windows or Mac (this is what I use on my Macbook when working in the evenings. The only thing that I struggle to do with it is edit photos--because the colors aren’t true--so I save photo editing for mid-morning when blue light exposure is normal.) I also heard that the newest Mac update (Nov 2018) includes a blue light filter.
Twilight on Google Play (this is what I use on my phone, and it’s been a huge help! I notice a big difference if I have it turned off, and I make sure every evening around dinner time that it’s turned on.)

This is my free guide to you on the checkpoints to look for every day to make sure you are feeling your best, full of energy, and kicking butt at motherhood. I also recorded a video webinar just for you in which I go over each of my tips in more detail. Just head to www.thestreamlinedlife.com, enter your email address, and it’s all yours!
Tips for Finding Your Patience
- Slow down and connect with your child when giving direction. Touch her shoulder, hold her hand, and make eye contact.
- Take care of yourself and meet your needs regularly so you aren’t triggered by them. Some questions to ask yourself:
-
- Am I getting enough rest? Eating well? Not too hopped up on stimulants?
- Am I moving and expressing my emotions and physical needs?
- Do I get breaks to be an adult separate from my kids?
- When you’re feeling frustrated, put yourself in time-out and use that break to cool down and mentally reconnect to your child.
- Process any emotional issues, stresses, and worries separate from your child; do this so you don’t dump your negative energy on them if you find yourself losing your patience
-
- Morning pages: 3 pages or 10 minutes of stream of consciousness writing first thing in the morning. Get all that mental gunk out so you can feel mentally prepared to parent.
- Check-in regularly with a partner, friend, family member, therapist, or coach to get the emotional support you need.
-
- If you are needing someone who can support you in your motherhood journey, let’s chat! You can sign up for a free 30 minute call with me on my website at www.thestreamlinedlife.com/coaching
- Know Your Triggers
-
- Become hyper-aware of what triggers you regularly and causes you to lose your patience
- Re-frame your child’s frustrating behavior and find the NEED behind it
- Be present as much as possible with your child to avoid triggering impatience
- Hugs fix everything!
-
- Show lots of love to your child to create a deep connection that will help you weather the more trying moments.
- If you’re struggling to stay present, spend some time contemplating why you feel the need to escape? Are you unhappy about something and need additional support?
- Give yourself grace on those bad days and know that tomorrow is always a fresh chance to do better. Motherhood is not a competition to be the perfect mom. You are the mother your kiddos need, so just be there. That’s all.

Have you ever felt stuck or in between where you were and where you want to be? Have you ever wondered when life would get back to normal? In Episode 6 of the Streamlined Motherhood Podcast, Kate is talking about liminal space, or the in-betweens that naturally happen in life.
Mentioned in this episode:
Franciscian Friar Richard Rohr on liminal space: “where we are betwixt and between the familiar and the completely unknown. There alone is our old world left behind, while we are not yet sure of the new existence. That’s a good space where genuine newness can begin. Get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible…This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed. If we don’t encounter liminal space in our lives, we start idealizing normalcy. The threshold is God’s waiting room. Here we are taught openness and patience as we come to expect an appointment with the divine Doctor.”
“You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life” by Jen Sincero. This is one of my favorite books for breaking out of a rut and moving toward the future you desire.**
One of my favorite quotes by Jen Sincero says this: ”your job isn’t to know the how, it’s to know the what and to be open to discovering and receiving the how.”
Maria Montessori and the Stages of Development in Childhood: Absorbent Mind, Reasoning Mind, and the Acquisition of Culture. Read more about it here.
Kim John Payne on the concept of Soul Fever in our children. For more on the topic, read his book “Simplicity Parenting” which is one of my favorite parenting books.**
Calm bedtime practice of prayer or affirmations around a candle excerpted from Sharifa Oppenheimer’s book “Heaven on Earth: a Handbook for Parents of Young Children”.**
Sleep Meditations for Kids app by Christiane Kerr. Available on iTunes and in the Google Play store.
How to tell if you’re experiencing Liminal Space
Ask yourself:
- Have I recently made a big change to my life?
- Have I discovered a new piece of information and I’m not sure how this fits in with my values or beliefs?
- Has something traumatic or unsettling occurred that has pushed me into a new way of living that I wasn’t expecting?
Steps to Work Through Liminal Space
- Establish a gratitude practice, through visualization and meditation or journaling
- Cultivate your faith in the yet to be seen
Jen Sincero quote on faith: “Faith is having the audacity to believe in the not-yet seen. Faith is the muscle you use when you decide to blast outside of your comfort zone and transform your life into something that’s practically unrecognizable to you in your present reality. Faith smothers your fear of the unknown. Faith allows you to take risks.”

Do you ever wonder why your child does the things that they do? Have you ever worried about the impact you are having on their growth and development as a person? In this episode, Kate deep dives into what makes our kids unique, how to love and appreciate them for who they truly are, and how to support them with patience and love from infancy through childhood. This in-depth episode will leave you feeling encouraged and prepared to guide your children to become independent and amazing adults. Mentioned in this episode: * Episode 02 motherhood mission statement exercise * John Locke’s “Tabula rasa” theory on children * “the purpose of the child’s early birth is now clear. It allows for the development of independence, coordinated movement, language, and will, in relationship to an environment set in historical time. Adaptation to human circumstances and custom is therefore virtually limitless. The child is a spiritual being who asks, why am I here? What is my task, my responsibility? Adults need to recognize this search for purpose inlife as they seek to aid the child in her completion as a human being.” excerpted from: “Montessori from the Start” book by Paula Polk Lillard and Lynn Lillard Jessen. This book has been influential to the way I view infancy and toddlerhood, and I highly recommend it! * Here is an incredible interview on infant sleep with James McKenna, Director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. * “an infant always learns. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time.” quote from Magda Gerber, childhood expert and author of Your Self-Confident Baby: How to Encourage Your Child's Natural Abilities -- From the Very Start * Kim John Payne on the importance of filtering out the adult world. Read more in one of my favorite parenting books “Simplicity Parenting”. * If you enjoyed this episode, I would be beyond thrilled if you hopped over to iTunes and left me a review. It’s kinda really important with a new podcast to get reviews as it lets others know that it’s worth listening to. You can also share this episode with a friend or on social media. * Feel free to send me an email to hello@thestreamlinedlife.com and let me know how this episode impacted you; I love to hear from you all! Thank you so much for listening, and I’ll see you next time!

What would you do if your newborn baby was sick and you suspected you knew the reason? How far would you go to help your child be healthy and also use your knowledge to benefit other people? That’s the big question that my guest, Rosica Petrova, asked herself when her son was born. She was a mother on a mission, seeking answers to his problems and —when no one else could solve the problem— she did herself, ultimately leading to the founding of her company, Home of Wool. What I loved about chatting with Rosi is her passion for creating a healthy home. Rather than share platitudes, she has the real life experience and the expertise to back it up. She shares the latest research on what toxic materials you should avoid, the best choices for creating a healthy home, and one super easy step you can do today, no purchase necessary. As I mentioned in the interview, I am very passionate about creating a healthy home environment for my family, which is how I came across Rosi and her business in the first place. My family and I were looking for mattress alternatives to conventional options and her gorgeous, handmade wool mattresses were everything I had dreamed of to create a healthy and non-toxic sleep environment for my family. That was a huge step to take and there are so many other little tweaks you can make to improve your home environment. I want to help you take those steps, so make sure you're subscribed at my website, the Streamlined Life. Ready for your own Home of Wool bedding?

Thanks so much for your continued support!
Feeling like you have no “me time” to recharge? Have dreams for yourself, but think there is no place for them while mothering little ones? Listen on as Kate encourages you to first fill your own cup, so you can then better serve your family and those around you.

Motherhood Philosophy Questions:
- In an ideal world, what sort of mother would you be?
- How are outside influences, such as friends and family or even social media, impacting the way you view your motherhood?
- How were you parented and what aspects of that do you want to include in your parenting method? What do you NOT want to include?
Create your Motherhood Philosophy statement: 1-2 sentences that summarize your ideal vision of yourself, the tools and tactics you are comfortable using, and the parenting methods that do not belong in your home.
