Welcome to the highly anticipated part two of our decluttering series on the MOMmentum podcast! In this transformative episode, we continue our journey of unburdening, unwinding, and unleashing the power of decluttering alongside the incredible Corinne Morahan. Together, we'll explore the profound connection between letting go, fear, and the path to a beautiful life of freedom.

In this episode, we delve into the depths of fear and its role in our decluttering journey. Corinne and I discuss how fear often holds us back from releasing the items that no longer serve us, and we reveal strategies to overcome these fears and embrace the freedom that comes with letting go. We also explore the power of donating and the intention behind giving our possessions a new life with someone who will cherish them, creating a ripple effect of love and positive energy.

Join us as we uncover the profound truth that we can't fully experience the next level of who we are until we let go of the previous version that keeps us stuck. Together with Corinne's expert insights and our shared experiences, we'll navigate the path to a beautiful life of freedom, one decluttering step at a time.

This MOMmentum podcast episode is titled "Mother's Day: When Enough Really Is Enough (and That's More Than Enough!)" In this episode, we will talk about the pressure that mothers often face to be perfect and the feelings of inadequacy that come with it. It’s time to place the emphasis on mothers are already enough and that they do not need a fancy brunch or an expensive gift to prove their worth as a mom.

Kristi shares insight on lessons learned over the years that was key to a more joyful mother’s day for both mother and the rest of the family . Plus, you’ll hear a portion from chapter 2 of Kristi’s book, "Empty Besting," which delves into the concept of enoughness and how special occasions like Mother's Day can bring up feelings of not doing enough as a mom. When those feelings arise, this episode has three ways to celebrate enoughness on Mother's Day:

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

Enough -Embrace the Imperfect: Instead of striving for perfection, embrace the imperfections that make you who you are. Remember that you don't have to have it all together all the time to be an amazing mom.
Really Enough -Celebrate Your Accomplishments as a Mom: Take time to reflect on your accomplishments, big and small, this Mother's Day.
More Than Enough -Recognize Your Unique Qualities: Every mother is unique, and recognizing your own unique qualities can help you feel more confident in your abilities as a mom. Instead of comparing yourself to other moms, embrace your strengths and the things that make you a great mom.

Mantras in this episode

For Moms:

Enough: "I am enough, just as I am, imperfections and all."
Really Enough: " I am enough, and I trust that I have done my best and give myself credit for all that I've done.”
More than Enough: "I recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make me an amazing mom."

For Kids:

Enough: "I am enough, just as I am, and I don't need to compare myself to anyone else."
Really Enough: "" I am enough, and I trust that I have done my best and give myself credit for all that I've done.”
More than Enough: "I recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make me who I am, and I am proud to be me."

First up, create your personal prescription to help clarify your vision and goals. It's essential to have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and what steps you need to take to get there. Second, I urge you to find your guiding compass, which is based on your principles, values, and beliefs. When you're aligned with your daily compass, you'll feel more confident in your decision-making and enjoy the journey more. Finally, I remind you to listen to your heart, allowing yourself to become your own support system.

It can be tough when not everyone sees things the same way, but by creating your own unique prescription for life, you can stay focused on your goals. So, consult your guiding compass and listen to your heart to ensure you're taking steps in the right direction. Let this mini episode serve as a helpful guide for anyone looking to overcome obstacles and achieve their aspirations. Let's gain MOMmentum together!

Finding your own guiding compass and using it to align your daily actions and interactions with your goals and ambitions
The value of listening to your heart and trusting yourself to make the right decisions, even when others don't understand your vision.

This unplanned MOMmentum mini episode occurred because things weren’t going according to plan. It was a great reminder to talk about a topic that us moms face when we try to do things to better ourselves and take action toward something you want to accomplish – roadblocks and resistance ahead!

We know that we need to do some hard things to reach our goals and for personal growth and tend to focus on the end result of that hard work. Something we overlook as a part of the process is to expect and plan for what to do when we encounter resistance. In this episode I’ll share how we can overcome resistance and choose resilience to use as fuel to keep going and accomplish goals.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

How to plan for resistance and what to do when it happens
Mistakes we make when we hit resistance and what to do instead

Do you hear the term “baby steps” used so often that it doesn’t seem to hold much meaning?

As moms we celebrate our children learning to walk as a huge milestone. We cheer our child on countless times as they fall down. What if we cheered ourselves and others in the same way as we tackle something we aren’t so comfortable with?

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

How we can learn and be inspired by our children
Ways to change the channel of negative self-talk
How taking baby steps led me to write my first book

I had planned to have her on the podcast to share her perspective of what it’s like for children to have their moms go after their dreams,

BUT instead, this interview has an extra great reason for being on the MOMmentum podcast as we talk about her own unexpected motherhood surprises and the emotions and feelings that go along with it. Oh, and me about to be a first time grandmother – woah!

How embracing your own unique personality and style benefits you from childhood into adulthood

Did you experience a "loss of self" when your name became ‘Mom’? It can be easy to lose yourself when you become a mom. In today’s MOMmentum mini episode we are going to take time to rediscover who you are outside of motherhood.

Our daily lives can feel like a revolving door of food prepping, to-do lists, work, running errands and bouncing from one school activity to the next. It’s no wonder that as our daily routines revolve around our children that our sense of self gets lost. As this goes on, days turn into weeks that turn into years until you don’t remember what you want or like anymore.

What happens when we let our role as a mom serve as our identity? In today’s episode I break it down why having a clear sense of who we are not only benefits you, but everyone around you.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

How to respond to the question, “do you know who you are?”
Helpful tools to gain some quick insight to what makes you uniquely you
What to do when people try to decide who you are for you

Everyone likes to have things work out according to plan. Except, life doesn’t always work out that way. Especially in your motherhood journey – expect the unexpected. There’s no greater time to test how you handle things not going according to plan like when you become a mom.

Many of us have preconceived ideas of what life should look like as a mom. While each of our paths and stories can look different, the one thing we probably all share and have in common are moments when we realize things aren’t working out the way we wanted or planned and are left asking ourselves “now what?” and must figure out how to navigate a new path.

We have a choice if it’s going to completely derail us or leave us stuck. In this first MOMmentum mini episode we will discuss ways to work through acceptance of what is and forge a new path while not losing sight of your dreams.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

A mindset shift to try when something doesn’t go according to plan
How not to throw your dreams out the window when life throws you sideways
Using life experiences as an opportunity to learn and grow
How to embrace the change as part of the adventure
