Today’s episode is all about changing your mind about help.
Let’s start with a few questions:
What’s your definition of help?
Who do you expect it to come from: spouse/significant other, family, friends?
Mamas, you NEED help despite what you may think.
Start by:
1) Asking.
2) Be specific with what you need.
3) Find your tribe which may not be the people you initially thought would be sources of help.

I thought I was alone with how hard it felt to be a mom working in a professional career (especially male dominated) and then even more so a mom with twins.
Except I didn't discover I was not alone until I actually built up the courage to share how I was feeling with other twin moms at moms of twins club meeting.
It was actually a relief for me and for them but what stood out was that we all walk around with this secret guilt or fear that somehow we are doing this mom thing wrong.
We end up just focused on surviving through day to day instead of finding the way to thrive as professionals and mamas.
In today's episode of Twin Moms Thriving™ podcast, I let you in on the secret to how I stopped being the barely making it type of mama to the mama that is killing the career twin mama game

Many of us mamas have goals that we are actively working to achieve. Often times that comes with tremendous pressure to get things done no matter the cost.
In today's episode, Dr. Dee discusses both sides of the pressure we feel or place on ourselves to push through to get to the end goal. She outlines 3 tips to help prevent the pressure from pushing us over the edge.
- Take your own pulse
- Making your self care a daily priority
- Stop taking yourself so seriously

Hey Thrive Tribe!
You've all said at some point or another the phrase: "Now's just not the right time."
But have you ever really analyzed that to determine what makes anything the right time or not?
In this episode, Dr. Dee lays out the case for there never being any perfect timing...except for NOW!
Mama, you bust your butt doing everything at work and for your kids when it's not "the right time" but when it comes to following your own passion you're always waiting.
Time is the only commodity that we will never be able to get back. Listen to this episode to hear all the compelling reasons why it's time for you to stop waiting on perfect timing.

Hello hello Thrive Tribe!
In this episode, Dr. Dee is joined by her sister doc Dr. Zainab-Sleep Coach to talk about starting out as sleep-deprived mamas and using the power of sleep to achieve their dreams.
Many mamas think having kids means it is inevitable to be sleep deprived.
You may have even been told you better do everything you want to do before having kids because once they come, your life is over for what YOU want to do.
That is so far from the truth.
Listen in as Dr. Dee and Dr. Zainab spill all the tea so you can be free of these ridiculous thoughts and lies we are fed as mamas and use sleep to achieve your dreams.

Hey Thrive Tribe!
Have you ever stopped to think about why the airlines make such a big deal about their safety procedures and tell you to put your mask on first before helping others?
In this episode, Dr. Dee shares how applying this example to life as a twin mom opened her eyes and changed how she approached life.
She learned by making sure she was personally good ensured that her family and everyone else she wanted to help would be good as well. Focusing on self is not the same as being selfish or self absorbed.
We all become our best selves when we can serve ourselves first and allow that to spill over into excellent service to others.

In this episode, Dr. Dee shares and update to her story as a twin mom. She gives a detailed account of how being a professional mom and then twin mom shaped her career path and provides examples as to why your story is the reason you cannot give up on your goals simply because you have twins.

Hey Thrive Tribe!
Everyone always says "it's ok to not be ok" but never follows up with what you do if you're truly not OK.
In this episode, Dr. Dee discusses not being ok and how it led to regular therapy sessions.
There is a stigma, especially surrounding high achieving professionals, that therapy somehow makes them weak when the truth is we all need some kind of therapy.
Listen in to Dr. Dee's personal story and how therapy has helped change her life.

-No judging self
And when you feel your best is not good enough, remember these twins didn't come with a manual so you've always been operating on a wing and a prayer! lol

Hey Thrive Tribe! It's another powerful Monday.
I remember being a super sensitive kid and it didn't take a lot to get my feelings hurt.
My grandma used to call me a cry baby and from her perspective, she felt I should be able to move on from things and not let what people say get to me.
I grew up to understand that just because she said I should does not mean I should.
The whole point of this episode is to let you know that no one else can tell you what you should or should not do/feel about your own situation.....including motherhood.

In this episode, I spoke about setting boundaries to avoid exhaustion. Most times, we get carried away with the idea of perfection and forget to set boundaries in place for ourselves.
Key things to note:
- Learn how to use the word "No" a lot more.
- Allow others help you.
- Learn to ask for help when you need it.
- You don't have to do it all.
- You decide what kind of parent you want to be.

What's happening Thrive Tribe?
How many times have you talked to friends or family, or perhaps even posted a question in a twin mom group asking how to find more time for yourself only to get the response that you should wake up before your twins wake up?
Maybe that works for some, but if it doesn't work for you....DON'T.DO.IT.
This episode is for the mama that wants time for herself but has not found results in trying to wake up early.
Dr. Dee shares how there are multiple ways to make time for yourself without waking up early if you don't want to do that.
You can:
-put yourself on the daily schedule
-determine your optimal time that works best for you
-focus on quality not quantity

Hey Thrive Tribe!
Have you ever noticed that lately it seems that everything and everyone is filtered?
Perhaps living a time of cancel culture is highly responsible for that.

Hey Thrive Tribe!
In this episode, Dr. Dee talks about how we spend most of our lives waiting for life to really begin. Being a twin mom is no different and we wait for time to pass or for more amenable stages of motherhood.
But what if, we didn't have to wait? What if the whole time, we really are waiting on us?
Dr. Dee combats the waiting with a few tips:
-Just do it (like Nike said)
-You are the solution
-Stop thinking about what others will say

Hey hey Thrive tribe!
For some moms and twin moms alike, becoming a mom meant your life is over until the kids turn 18!
In this episode, Dr. Dee shares why she feels that is not true and why being a mom does not mean you give up everything. It's often been an expectation and a badge of honor for moms to become martyrs for their kids.
This episode discusses the mom-child relationship as Dr. Dee sees it.

Hey Hey Thrive Tribe!
In this episode, Dr. Dee gives the low down on confidence as a twin mama and woman. Strangely it is one of the things that many of us struggle with. Knowing that confidence doesn't come from what we wear or how we look helps to foster our growth and believe in ourselves which can only come from within!

October is breast cancer awareness month and Heidi Senior joins as a guest.
Heidi is a teen twin mom to boy/girl twins, veteran, former commercial real estate broker, and founder of Dear Pink Sisters.
Her story is so powerful! She shares with us how a breast cancer diagnosis allowed her to see an area of support that was needed.
During her journey of surviving breast cancer, she found that her support systems did not know how to emotionally support her.
She created Dear Pink Sisters Coaching Services to help breast cancer survivors and their support systems to emotionally heal from the diagnosis long after their physical scars have healed. She has become the answer to the prayers she had when she was walking through her journey.

Do you ever wonder what other twin moms have to say about things that affect their day to day life? Well, there was a survey on the state of motherhood conducted by the online parenting resource Motherly. Now, twin moms weren't separately polled but the results were staggering.
In this episode, Dr. Dee discusses the need for twin mamas to make a change particularly in the areas of self care, interpersonal connection, and career which will reduce the overall feeling of burnout.
We can do more to:
1. create the flexibility we want in our work (covid showed us this is absolutely possible)
2. carve out the time for ourselves consistently
3. have time to connect or reconnect with our partners
4. get creative with finding our tribe
Feel like you need help with making a change, contact Dr. Dee at twinmomdoctor@gmail.com or @TwinMomDoctor

Moms are known for being able to create things in the time of need and twin moms are certainly not excluded. Today's guest is no exception to that rule.
As a mom of 4, JaNae Castile still wanted to have fashions that spoke to her and her motherhood journey. She did not find what she was looking for and decided to create it instead. She is the founder of The Muva Brand, dedicated to providing comfy and stylish loungewear that showcases motherhood (aka muvahood) and a behavior specialist in Minnesota.

Generally speaking, there are two types of moms: 1) the perfectionist and 2) the realist.
The perfect mom is going to be on her P's and Q's while dotting those I's and crossing all the T's.
If you happen to be the first type, in the words of Elsa from Frozen just "Let it go!".
In this episode, Dr. Dee discusses how trying to be the perfect mom is actually killing you....the real you! In the job description for mom, there is nothing in it that says perfection is a requirement. So be consistent in just being your real, imperfect, full of live and love self that your kids really need.

Recognizing when to take a break or adjust your focus is truly a skill that needs much practice.
In this episode, Dr. Dee discusses the importance of pressing pause. Often times as twin moms, we are doing or trying to do it all. Dr. Dee let’s us all know that we don’t have to do all the things and it’s more than ok to press pause and regroup.
Hey #ThriveTribe!
Here's a news flash for you! Help is not a dirty little 4 letter word, though often times that is not how most of us perceive it whether consciously or subconsciously.
Let this episode free your mind a little (or maybe a lot) as Dr. Dee challenges all of us to ask for help more and stress less.

Do you sometimes think to yourself:
- It will get better when the twins/kids are older?
- I can do "that thing" once we get past this stage?
Many of us have had those thoughts and put off things that we could begin doing today. Life is too short to not live in the present moment.
This episode talks about not waiting another year, phase or step to get to "better".
