Do you feel like giving it your all in December or saying it can just wait till January?In today's episode of the Mom Inspired Show, I am talking about how it can be easy to barely hang on through December and not be intentional because it can be such a chaotic month. Not only that, it's easy to over eat and not focus on your health goals. It's easy to get caught up in the crazy schedules and not stick to your workout plans or goals. So instead of being black and white about December, what if we approach the new year in bite size steps.  Just like an on-ramp you start to pick up the pace to get on the freeway. So what if we approached December that way, so when Jan. 1 rolls around we feel prepared.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast. Podcast Road Map ( in 2019 I lost over 50lbs and kept it off so now I coach other moms to do the same) Looking to start somewhere, check out my podcast road map below:This roadmap will take you step-by-step through the TOP 10 Best & Most Effective weight loss podcast episodes.https://mominspiredshow.com/podcast-roadmap-opt-in/ If you like this episode make sure to check out the one I did about changing things up.: https://mominspiredshow.com/changing-things-up-to-lose-fat-and-build-muscle-amber-sandberg-361/

Are you consuming more than creating?In today's episode of the Mom Inspired Show, I am going to be talking about our consumption level.  From over eating, shopping, social media, Netflix, alcohol all these things are easy to consume and keep us from creating and doing the things that truly give us life.  Consuming too much keeps us from living an intentional life and instead of creating our lives we are watching others create their lives. We are watching other lives play out instead of watching what we can do with our own lives. Maybe we are over eating or over drinking to numb things out which that also keeps us from creating. We were meant to create value, so instead of hoarding recipes on Pinterest, pick one and go create and see what you can do!  Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.Podcast Road MapThis roadmap will take you step-by-step through the TOP 10 Best & Most Effective weight loss podcast episodes.https://mominspiredshow.com/podcast-roadmap-opt-in/If you liked this episode make sure to check out the one I did on why being uncomfortable will help you get to your goals:https://mominspiredshow.com/why-being-uncomfortable-will-help-you-get-to-your-goals-amber-sandberg-358/

If you have been listening to me for awhile now you will know that I didn't lose over 50lbs by calorie counting or tracking macros and I have kept it off doing it the way that I lost it and that is how I help all my coaching clients to lose weight.But as we know things change you have to adapt esp. as you age and your body changes. I started noticing my friends and clients telling me that they can't lose weight like they used too or they are gaining weight and they are not really eating different. The one thing they had in common is that they were in their late 30s or 40s possibly peri-menopause. They couldn't figure out why they were experiencing this when they were not near menopause yet.So I want to change some things up, if you are not familiar with my coaching you can listen to episode 327, its an episode I did with my client at the time she had lost over 40lbs and I am trying to remember where she is at now but it may be around 60lbs. So if you are a person that needs to hear someone else share their experience then make sure to check that out.https://mominspiredshow.com/weight-loss-success-story-crystie-fritz-327/Now I want to talk about doing something a little different.  Normally I do private one on one coaching but with this I want to open it up to group coaching. I think this would help people to be able to hear others talk about their struggles regarding weight or their body who are in the age ranges I mentioned before.So this is what I am thinking, I want it to be 20 women or less, I realize not everyone will be able to make the coaching calls so I want it to be big enough that if only a few can make it then it is still helpful.  This is more affordable then private coaching and it can be a kick starter to the new year.My hopes is we get our first call done in Nov and Dec we talk about your goals and get you excited for the possibility of changing things up and seeing results. In Jan. we will start and it will be a 3 month program.  If you are on the fence or just have no idea what to think and want more information, grab a 30 minute call with me at mominspiredshow.com/coaching or message me on IG at https://www.instagram.com/mominspiredliving/If you just want to email me you can at amber@mominspiredshow.com if you want to ask me some questions.Also I mentioned what I like to use for high quality meat that gets delivered straight to my door.Butcher Box you will get $50 off your first box, which is pretty awesome.

What area in your life do you feel like you are wanting to stay in your comfort zone?In today's episode of the Mom Inspired Show, I am going to be talking about how it's so important to push yourself to feel uncomfortable. Many times we convince ourselves that being comfortable feels the best. But if you could really think about what you are giving up by being comfortable?  If you are choosing to be comfortable and sleeping in each day when you know deep down you want to get up before the kids and have quiet time so that you feel like you can be ahead of the day instead of behind.  Maybe you are watching Netflix for a few hours a day and you know that if you could give up one of those hours and workout that you would feel so much better.

Do you look at being frugal with a negative lens?

Today I have podcaster Jen Smith on the Mom Inspired Show to talk about reframing frugality to be something you want to do rather than something your are forced to do. Jen shares with us how she paid off $78k of debt in two years and what that taught her. We talk about how scaling back might be a better option then trying to make more money and running yourself to the ground. She shares with us how she still budgets Starbucks into her spending and where she does cut back to make things more affordable. So if you have been feeling the rise of cost of living lately this is the episode for you.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did! I want to help you figure out why the weight is a symptom for something else going in your life, cause did you know, that weight gain is not usually based off of hunger issues, its not being fulfilled in other areas of life so we go for food for a quick dopamine hit or a quick fix. So, if you want to figure out how live life without worrying about what you are going to eat at the party, when you are on vacation and when you are staying in other people's homes without gaining weight then this session is for you.

How it works is you jump on a 30 min. mini coaching session with me, we come up with a plan right then and there so you can implement it the moment we get off our zoom call. If you decide that you want to work that plan with me and have that weekly accountability for several months and dive deep to figure out what is really holding you back we can do that too. But there is no pressure to do that, if you just want to jump on and chat with me and get a plan to get you started that is perfect. These mini coaching sessions are my way to give back to you guys, so I hope you take advantage of it.

So if you are interested in more details  you can DM me at Mom Inspired Living or if you know this is something you have been waiting for grab your spot at Mominspiredshow.com/coaching, if you don't see a date and time that works for you, DM me Mom Inspired Living or email me at amber@mominspiredshow.com

Make sure to follow me on IG https://www.instagram.com/mominspiredliving/ I would love to hear from you, DM me any questions or just say hi!

Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did! I want to help you figure out why the weight is a symptom for something else going in your life, cause did you know, that weight gain is not usually based off of hunger issues, its not being fulfilled in other areas of life so we go for food for a quick dopamine hit or a quick fix. So, if you want to figure out how live life without worrying about what you are going to eat at the party, when you are on vacation and when you are staying in other people's homes without gaining weight then this session is for you.

How it works is you jump on a 30 min. mini coaching session with me, we come up with a plan right then and there so you can implement it the moment we get off our zoom call. If you decide that you want to work that plan with me and have that weekly accountability for several months and dive deep to figure out what is really holding you back we can do that too. But there is no pressure to do that, if you just want to jump on and chat with me and get a plan to get you started that is perfect. These mini coaching sessions are my way to give back to you guys, so I hope you take advantage of it.

So if you are interested in more details  you can DM me at Mom Inspired Living or if you know this is something you have been waiting for grab your spot at Mominspiredshow.com/coaching, if you don't see a date and time that works for you, DM me Mom Inspired Living or email me at amber@mominspiredshow.com

What if you lost weight in a sustainable way that took a little bit longer?Today I am going to be talking about allowing yourself the time to really figure out how to lose weight so that you can keep it off.  Do you find that you are constantly in the swinging pendulum motion of going from restrictive dieting to saying screw it and eat whatever you want when you want?  What if we looked deeper to why you are eating and what caused the weight gain to begin with?  What if I could encourage you to eat in a way that nourished and healed your body vs. just trying to do whatever it takes to get the scale to go down even if that is not the best for your mental health.  Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did!

Are you being intentional with your time? Today I am going to be talking about living intentionally and not letting the world decide where your energy goes.  So many moms feel anxious after scrolling social media and I want to encourage you to start protecting your mind and time.  Are you feeling drained and weary every time you get off social media? Maybe it's time to start thinking about how long you want to be on social media daily, and also start curating your feed. What does curating your feed look like? The accounts you follow, do they bring you joy, do they leave you  better than when you started or do you feel worse? If you feel worse you ma want to consider unfollowing them, pausing or hiding their accounts. If you are feeling more anxious, jealous, bitter, sad, envious then it might be time to reconsider who you are following. Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss?

Do you find that you buffer when you are facing something difficult or uncomfortable?Today I am talking about buffering and how it can prevent you from achieving your goals. Sometimes we are trying to escape feelings that come up and we want to buffer with food, scrolling our phones or binge watching tv to name a few and I want to encourage you that if you can allow that feeling to come up and just ride the wave it normally last around 90 seconds it will then pass.  Many times we get scared that the emotion will stay forever so we eat to shove that feeling down. Unfortunately that will create a cycle because if we keep eating when we have uncomfortable feelings we will most likely gain weight and then we will have to deal with those feelings and they cycle continues.  Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss?

Are you wanting to stop white knuckling with your eating?Today, I am going to be talking about why white knuckling can feel like we are creating resistance when it comes to weight loss.  If we can allow our brains to think urges are normal then it allows for us to feel less judgmental about those urges.  If you can think about about holding a beach ball under the water that would feel like white knuckling.  With all your might you are keeping that ball under the water and all it wants to do is pop back up.  So when it comes to our thoughts with white knuckling it could look like " this shouldn't be happening" which then creates resistance.  If you could think about the beach ball and you would never say " this shouldn't be happening" to the ball wanting to pop up out of the water, you know that a beach ball is not goin to stay underwater even when we are pushing it down it wants to come back up.  Just like diet mentality, it wants to creep back in and our brain wants to go back to what we used to do in hopes that it will work this time. Many times that looks like white knuckling and just doing whatever it takes to get the weight off even if it's not sustainable. Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did!

Wondering when the best time is to go to Costa Rica with kids?I just got back from Costa Rica inspecting resorts and let me tell you, if it's not on your bucket list than you need to make sure you add it. You might be curious if Costa Rica is a good place to travel to with kids and I want to say yes. There is a caveat though, I would highly recommend that your kids are older with all the logistics and activities that Costa Rica has to offer. I share my thoughts on what ages are probably best suited for this kind of trip and what it looks like to travel through the country.  To hear about this topic and more listen to the podcast.If you want to find out more, what resort is best for you, what activities to do etc. feel free to email me at ambersandberg@hkluxurytravel.comor you can find me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mominspiredtravel/https://www.instagram.com/mominspiredliving/

I want to help you figure out why the weight is a symptom for something else going in your life, cause did you know, that weight gain is not usually based off of hunger issues, its not being fulfilled in other areas of life so we go for food for a quick dopamine hit or a quick fix. So, if you want to figure out how live life without worrying about what you are going to eat at the party, when you are on vacation and when you are staying in other people's homes without gaining weight then this session is for you.How it works is you jump on a 30 min. mini coaching session with me, we come up with a plan right then and there so you can implement it the moment we get off our zoom call.

One topic that stood out is how to teach kids how to invest in a fun way. Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did! I want to help you figure out why the weight is a symptom for something else going in your life, cause did you know, that weight gain is not usually based off of hunger issues, its not being fulfilled in other areas of life so we go for food for a quick dopamine hit or a quick fix. So, if you want to figure out how live life without worrying about what you are going to eat at the party, when you are on vacation and when you are staying in other people's homes without gaining weight then this session is for you.

How it works is you jump on a 30 min. mini coaching session with me, we come up with a plan right then and there so you can implement it the moment we get off our zoom call. If you decide that you want to work that plan with me and have that weekly accountability for several months and dive deep to figure out what is really holding you back we can do that too. But there is no pressure to do that, if you just want to jump on and chat with me and get a plan to get you started that is perfect. These mini coaching sessions are my way to give back to you guys, so I hope you take advantage of it.

So if you are interested in more details  you can DM me at Mom Inspired Living or if you know this is something you have been waiting for grab your spot at Mominspiredshow.com/coaching, if you don't see a date and time that works for you, DM me Mom Inspired Living or email me at amber@mominspiredshow.com

Today, I want to talk about finding your style as a busy mom.  You may find yourself thinking " I don't know where to start" or maybe you feel like it's not a priority as a mom.

Are you avoiding going after what you truly want because you are afraid of being uncomfortable?

Today, I am talking about what it looks like to be uncomfortable staying the same even if you think it's comfortable and why we avoid making changes because we perceive it will feel more uncomfortable.  I share my story of when I lost over 50lbs in 2019 and how I had to decide that in order to get to my goals I had to be ok with being uncomfortable. What I like to tell my coaching clients that the truth was, I was uncomfortable already where I was at. I was uncomfortable in the clothes I was wearing, not being able to wear what I wanted, not being able to move the way I was used too, being uncomfortable not feeling like myself. So I knew that I could stay uncomfortable staying the same or move in the direction I wanted too even if that brought on a different kind of uncomfortableness.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you believing the lie that you can't feel your best as you get older?

Today join me as I talk with my friend Jenny Stemmerman about the Carnivore diet and how it has changed her life for the good! She had such great information to share with us that I made it a 2-part episode, so make sure to last week's episode first.  Jenny shares with us what the difference between Keto and Carnivore is and why she no longer does Keto. If this is your first time of hearing of the Carnivore diet you might be skeptical so keep an open mind.  As she shares her journey eating this way I decided to ask her questions that I think other moms would be curious about, here are some of them:

Why don't you eat your veggies again?

How can eating red meat be good for you?

Do you take supplements anymore?

How do you get your collagen if you are not drinking it in a powder form?

Did this help your autoimmune issues?

Has this helped with your energy?

One topic that stood out to me is that she feels better now then she did when she was in her 20s'. Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find that you take your foot off the gas in the summer regarding your goals?

Today I am talking about why it's so tempting to not go after our goals in the summer. From unstructured days, later bed times, vacations, and different schedules it's easy to just throw our hard work out the window for a few months. I want to encourage you to resist putting your foot on the brakes of your goals and be intentional this summer. Not only with your own goals but also to help your kids set goals.  Summer is great because it can give us more breathing room, but with the lack of structure kids can easily get bored. If we help them set goals, they can can work toward something when they are feeling unmotivated. In this episode I discuss how to set up the goals, how to help guide your kids without deciding for them what their goals should be and some fun categories to consider as your goals.  Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind?  Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss?

Do you feel like you get paralyzed when it comes to taking action?

Today I am talking all about why we don't take action and get the results we want. Have you ever found yourself constantly busy but you're not productive?  It's so easy to get caught up in passive action, prepping to "do the thing" vs actually doing it.  Do you find yourself listening to podcasts, reading books, taking courses but not taking the time to implement what you learned? This is called passive action, if you want to start getting results we have to take massive action but many times this feels too scary so we stay in passive action and tell ourselves that we are doing the work that needs to happen to get our results. Also, I talk about being a perfectionist and how that can slow the process down or even paralyze you from even taking action.  Are you a person that just preps, and preps and preps waiting for the perfect moment to start? If you recognize yourself in any of these scenarios then this episode is for you!  Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find you start and stop your your weight loss journey?

You decide you are so over talking about your weight, and so this is going to be it, you are finally going to to do it. You buy the books, you get the food, you buy a journal to write in, you have a plan, colored pens and you are ready to go. Week two comes around the corner and you are over everything you set out to do. Maybe you have been working out hard and feel too sore and can't keep going so you want to give up.  Maybe you expected to work out really hard and lose weight and you have yet to see the scale move and you feel defeated. You are done making eggs, eating veggies and protein, you are so bored out of your mind that you can't see yourself doing this one more day.

Next thing you know, you are going through the drive through of your favorite place, telling yourself that this is too hard and it's not going to work anyway.  When we want to solve our problems with food this is where we want to start quitting.  We want to numb out, escape our feelings, and we think that our tried and true foods will help us avoid that discomfort. But what happens after we have eaten those foods to try so solve our problems is we start to feel guilt or shame for feeling like we let ourselves down which then we want to go eat more to run away from those uncomfortable feelings.  When we try to solve our problems with food, it only last for a little bit that relief before that rush of thoughts that come in and say  I can never stick to eating plans, I am never going to reach my goals.  So what makes us want to stop,  what is different from yesterday to today? Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

What could you do today that your future self would thank you for?

Today I talk all about how to envision your future self and why it's so important when it comes to achieving your goals. When you think about this question it requires us to be willing to think about it from our future self. Sometimes it's too hard for people to think too far out, so I want you to think about a time frame that stretches you a little bit but not too far out that it feels too vague. You might be wondering why do we want to live from our future self, well many times we live from out past self and it gets us stuck and we can't move forward. When you think about where you want to be in the future, you have to be careful to not let the past paralyze you. Just know living from your future self can feel uncomfortable at times, your brain is going to want to throw a fit and say this is dumb, this doesn't matter but I want to encourage you to keep showing up as your future self, change the decisions that you are making and keep showing up.

Do you find that you have no time to create white space in your life?

Today I have author Jinny Uppal on the show to talk about things we can do to create a better quality of life.  We chat about how our society is all about hustling and that social media has glamorized that behavior to make it the norm and how damaging that can be. What we don't realize is that it leaves us burnt out and running on empty.  Jinny shares with us what she learned while writing her book and taking the steps she discusses on this episode are so easy to practice, starting today. Jinny explains to us what reflective thinking is and why it's such a powerful tool in our life and once we see the benefits we won't want to stop. She describes one technique called "mind wandering" and how that looks and how it can change our brain activity and help us to be more creative in problem solving in our lives.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the advice thrown at you?

Today I am going to talk to you about taking what works and leaving the rest behind and not feeling guilty about it. With it being January there are so many programs out there especially for weight loss and you might be finding yourself completely confused on which advice you should follow. Maybe you feel like you should be doing 75 Hard like the rest of your friends but feel like it isn't the right fit for you in the season of life you are in. Does it feel like all your friends are tracking macros in order to lose weight and keeping it off? Does it seem like if you don't burn the candle at both ends that you are not hustling enough? So many people want to give us a formula and and it might just not work for us and that is okay. We are not in the same season of life as everyone so if something resonates with you then great, but if it doesn't then leave it. Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are your habits sustainable or are they unrealistic?

Today I am going to talk to you guys about setting goals that you can sustain for the long run.  With the start of the new year so many people get really motivated to start new habits, change up routines, and so on. The big problem with all these new changes is that most of the time people can't sustain these new habits. I want to encourage you to consider what habits do you want to implement into your life, and can you keep them up? If you have already started this year and feel overwhelmed or behind I want to ask you, how can you take your goals and make them something you can stick to? Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever wondered if you are living your life to your fullest potential?

Do you ever feel like you are playing too small? You see people out there doing big things and you know you have it in you to do something but you feel too scared?

Today I am going to talk to you guys about figuring out your "second act"! Sometimes it's easy to over look what your talents are, and it can leave you feeling like you don't have anything special to offer. But if you can think about the things other people compliment you on or ask for your help with that will give you some insight to what you may be good at.  It's so much easier for others to see our talents then it is for us to really see them.

Also 2021 was not as easy as most of us had hoped for.  You might feel like your progress got stalled or maybe you didn't even begin what you were hoping to start, maybe you feel like you even went backwards but I wanted to encourage you to think differently! What if we weren't "starting over", what if we were just picking back up where we left off.... wouldn't that have a different feeling to think that way?  What if we could just start saying "let's just meet ourselves where were at, right now." Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel like you have to be super restrictive to get to your goal for weight loss and money?

Today I have Germaine Foley on the show and we break down how she got herself out of 200k of debt and how I lost over 50lbs.  Not only did we accomplish those things, we did it without being super restrictive.  So, today we wanted to share with you what we teach our coaching clients so that you can start your new year feeling hopeful. One big mistake people make is that they think whenever they reach their goal, it will be better then where they were. What we want to tell you, is that you can be happy now, no matter how much money you have or how much you weigh, you have the power to choose to be happy on your way to your goals.  Many people get stuck in this cycle that they can only be happy once they achieve their goals and until then life is better there vs. here.  Also, we share our experiences and how we didn't have to give up our life to go after what we wanted. Does this sound too good to be true?  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you stressed out trying to make Christmas perfect and forgetting what Christmas is all about?

Today I have Norma Joyce Dougherty on the show and we talk about her faith and how it has changed her life.  In a season where it's so easy to get caught up in the commercial side of Christmas with parties, presents, eating yummy food, I want to steer it back to why we even celebrate Christmas.  Norma shares with us how at 44 she discovered the difference between religion and having a relationship with Christ and what a huge difference it is.  In a season where it's so normal to want to make everything perfect especially for moms, Norma talk about how relying on her faith helped her to escape perfectionism. So if you are feeling overwhelmed this Christmas season, forgetting why we even celebrate Christmas this episode is for you. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you the type to just say "oh well, I will start Jan. 1?"

Many times to get to our goals its challenging because we are so disconnected to the "end goal" because it feels so unattainable. Sometimes we need to work backwards when figuring out our goals.  So, I want to encourage you to use this December as part of your 2022 goals vs. wasting it and saying it's the last month of the year, oh well!   I want you to look back at this year and assess who you were and who you want to be?  Look for the wins, even if they are small. When did you show up the way you wanted too, when did you show up your like your future version of yourself?  I want you to look for progress even if it's  just a little bit.  Hear what I have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Does this time of year throw you off your routine?

It seems like every year starting at Halloween, one little candy turns into 10, turns into the whole bag. The next thing you know you are saying I will deal with this January 1st. I have heard so many moms say this every year, from the holidays to traveling, and let's not forget it starts to get dark and so it's very easy to let up on our routines and goals if we don't pay attention.  By no means am I perfect at this, I see myself slipping at times, letting up, and giving in to the darker colder days, but I have figured out some easy steps to get myself back track when I feel like that is happening. It doesn't have to be difficult, it doesn't have to be perfect, you just have to start taking steps and moving forward. So if you are sitting there thinking you are worried that this will be another year you put your goals to the side till the new year then make sure to listen to this episode. If you feel like you have already started to neglect your routines and what makes you feel best then you are in the right place. Hear what I have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you ready to travel internationally? Last week I traveled to Cabo for the second time and stayed at J.W. Marriott and it was truly amazing.  In today's episode I want to tell you about my Cabo experience as well as what it was like to travel internationally right now.  A few things I cover is this episode is, why it's critical to get insurance because if you get stuck you don't want to have to pay for everything out of pocket. Second, have expectations that things take longer than usual from filling out paperwork, uploading test results and delays especially if you have a layover. If you are traveling with kids make sure to leave extra time so you don't feel rushed.  Lastly, I share with you my experience at the J.W. Marriott property, a sunset cruise to the Arches of Los Cabos and some fun things to do while you are there. To hear about this topic and more listen to the podcast.

Please feel free to DM me on IG at Mom Inspired Living  or email me at ambersandberg@hkluxurytravel.com to talk about your next vacation.

Who loves to travel but stresses out when it comes to eating while maintaining their weight loss or maintenance goals?

So many women feel anxious and nervous when it comes to going on vacations. It often times steals the joy of enjoying the actual vacation. Many women don’t even believe it’s actually possible to not stress out over what you eat or don't eat, but I’m here to tell you it is possible.  Women feel like they either need to eat nothing or they say screw it and deal with everything when they get back home.

I understand this thinking because I fell into this trap for so long. Many trips in the past I felt like all the self talk happening in my brain took away from my experience and prevented me from truly enjoying myself. As moms we deserve to enjoy our family vacations, to be able to focus on what is actually important because here is the thing, our kids will grow up and we won't always have a chance to take trips with them.  We can't turn back time and get those vacations back.  When I travel now, I can be excited and enjoy the moment.  So, I am going to share with you how to best prepare yourself for your vacation, take out the "all or nothing" mentality and what to do when you get back home. Hear what I have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel like in order to lose weight you have to be perfect?

One of the most important things when you think about losing weight is to respect where you are and what is your reality.  You want to lose weight, you want stay on your plan, you want to start fresh tomorrow. You want to prove to yourself for the final time that you can create the changes in order to get the body and life that you truly want. These are all true.

What is also true is that you like being able to eat when you want to eat, you don't want to pay attention to if you are hungry or full, you push things off till Monday or the beginning of the month, you want to keep doing what you are doing. You want to numb out with food so you don't have to feel the feelings that you are running from. You want to stay comfortable and not push yourself. These too are also true.

A lot of times we have desires that are conflicting and that can often paralyze us. But if you can realize that even if you want the things that are keeping you where you are it sets you on the path to start.  If you think that all of those thoughts will just go away if you lose the weight, you are wrong, you will still have to deal with that, losing weight won't just erase all the habits you built up for decades but that doesn't mean you just don't begin your journey. Many times we judge ourselves thinking we shouldn't want to eat certain foods, and that we should be able to be perfect on our plans. We tell ourselves this shouldn't be this hard.

Sometimes we have to work on our conscious and subconscious desires and they do compete at times so we have to work on lining them up if we want to get to our goals. Our subconscious mind might be trying to protect us, maybe we are trying to numb out or find relief or we just need comfort even though our conscious mind wants to lose weight and get to our goal. So then we need to figure out those underlying desires, the subconscious ones. You don't want to just push these away, they will just resurface, take the time to figure out why you are making the decisions you are.

By doing this it allows for you to understand your choices and desires better, you can take ownership over them. Then you can start making small changes that feel doable for you. Hear what I have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever wondered what you are truly passionate about? Today I am talking with entrepreneur Samie Roberts all about figuring out your passion.  She shared with us how she got her feet wet with different careers to really hone in on what she truly loved doing.  Samie also discussed with us how she was able to find balance in regards to having a business and raising her daughter.  She mentioned that having her daughter actually helped with creating more balance because it created more structure.  I had asked her what tips does she have for moms that are working from home with kids and she said it is helpful if you can create a structure in your day and create goals.  Samie also shared with us what she has learned working with her husband and what makes things work.  One topic that stood out to me is when she said just put yourself out there or your product out there before it's even ready, don't wait for it to be perfect. Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel like you are in a rush to lose weight?

Today I am talking about losing weight and keeping it off for good.  Sometimes what that entails is going slower then we would like. I realized that women can panic about getting the weight off and they want it off by a certain event, or vacation, etc. They get overwhelmed because they feel like they need to lose the weight fast.  Which then creates anxiousness and may cause you to make decisions you wouldn't pick for the long term.  What if you took your time to lose weight, would that make you feel more calm? How do you want to show up for this process, because how you show up to lose the weight is how you will keep it off.  How would you want to move your body, what kind of foods would you want to be eating, what kind of activities would you love to incorporate into your life these are the questions you want to be asking yourself.  Lastly, I talk about maintenance and how women get so terrified of gaining all the weight back because they didn't figure out what they need to think and do while they lost their weight. Hear what I have  to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you finding that you just don't feel like yourself lately?

Today I am talking with Dyna Vink all about navigating hormones especially during perimenopause which can start as early as late 30s. Dyna shares with us her journey of going through perimenopause and how she wished she had known more information back then. She tells us why eating certain foods can help with any physical challenges you might be experiencing with hormonal fluctuations. That quality of sleep plays a huge role in weight loss and why women start having a hard time staying asleep during perimenopause. We chat about why not all exercises are good for perimenopause. That high impact workouts can sometimes be too stressful on the body and this stress can create cortisol which makes it easier to gain weight. One topic that stood out to me is when she told me about sugar and how it can cause inflammation in the brain and how that impacts our memory.  Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find it impossible to think positive about your body while wanting to lose weight?

Today I am talking all about why it's important to work on your thoughts regarding your body at its current size while losing weight. Many of us think that once we get to our goal weight that our thoughts will be what we want and that just isn't the case. It's really easy to think that if we think positively about our bodies at a size that we don't want to be at then we will end up staying there and not losing weight.  But I want to share with you that we don't have to show our body tough love in order to get to our desired goal. I want to encourage you to start working on your thoughts and your actions you take today in order to lose your weight so that when you are at goal weight it is a lot easier to maintain that weight loss. I also talk about how important it is to choose wisely how you want to lose your weight because how you lose it, is how you will maintain it. So if you are on some crazy diet to get the weight off fast you won't be able to sustain it and the weight will come back. The goal is to figure out what works best for you and what feels best for your body and own that decision. What works for your friend or what many professionals say to do doesn't always work for everyone. It may take some trial and error to figure out what path you need to take but it's so worth it so don't feel rushed to figure it out. I know this well because I have been there and I get it! Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you wondering if homeschooling would be best for your family?

Today I have mom of 8, author, and homeschooling mom Durenda Wilson on the show.  She shared with us how she became an author and how that process looked like for her to write a book. She mentioned that she  was hesitant to write a book but after several people nudging her to do it she realized that her gifting is writing.  Durenda shares with us how homeschooling is different from public school  and that home life is a great representation of the real life.  Also,  how homeschooling allows for kids to move more, get outside and be able to have order the way it fits your family the best. She found that when her boys started to provoke their sisters she knew they needed to blow off physical energy that they wouldn't be able to do in a public school setting.  She also shares with us about going at a slower pace and how that can be beneficial and that we don't learn very well under stress.  Lastly, we talk about curriculum, and how everyone wants that's golden egg that will turn their child into a prodigy or get into college, and just doesn't exist.  Also, that you have to think about the curriculum for the parent as well as for the child.

Do you feel stuck?

Today I will be interviewed on my friend Jenny Stemmerman's podcast where we talk all about changing the direction of your life. I share with her that the one of the reasons I wanted to get certified as a life coach was to help moms beyond the podcast. I know it's so easy to get stuck in a rut or feel like you don't know what your purpose is outside of running a home. Maybe you want to lose weight, or get out of debt, maybe you are struggling with self-confidence since having kids, these are just some of the things that I have been given tools for to help my clients.

Here are my 3 tips to help you move forward and create the life you want: 1. Assessing your thoughts:  Understanding where you are and what you are feeling and what is missing.  There are a lot of emotions that can come up with this….it is easier said than done.  Don’t plan on this being a short process.  A journal might help you process and track your thoughts and emotions.  This is also where a coach is so helpful because they can guide you through the process. 2. Creating different thoughts.  What changes do you want to make?  What thoughts and beliefs do you need to get there? 3. Making those thoughts into actions.

What places are on your bucket list for this year and 2022?

Today we have mom of 3 Christina Willett from Lush Experience on the show for part 2 of the travel series to share with us some amazing places we can go this year! Just like Heidi in the previous episode, she shares with us 3 different locations and 4 amazing resorts that are perfect during the pandemic. Christina really focuses on these properties that are the perfect places to go to to be able to relax, have fun and not worry about the cleanliness or having to spread out to get space.  Let's jump into where she highly recommends your next vacation to be.

Let's start with heading to Barbados, an island that is hilly, beautiful with light pink beaches.  In Barbados everything is at your fingertips, if you want to go shopping,  explore restaurants, and do activities you can leave the resort and feel safe. Sandy Lane hotel is perfect for families.  Sandy Lane has amazing beach side service. As a parent you want to make that experience as easy as possible.  Christina has never seen anything like this, the beach manager will ask if you want to be in the sun, shade, want to relax or be in the action? They will reserve your spot for the duration of your trip so you can sleep in and know you will have your spot.  They also will know what drinks you want, if the kids want popsicles etc.  There are 4 restaurants, an  amazing golf course called the Green Monkey, Tiger Woods even got married there.  They have a mega spa 40,000 square feet.  They have complimentary kids programs for ages 3-12 and offer daily activities and have theme days daily for example a "beach safari" for the kids.   In Barbados they have wildlife reserves with green monkeys, farms for wildlife, you can swim with turtles, take submarine tours, enjoy hiking, ATV and horse back riding. Sandy Lane has over 100 rooms spread over a couple buildings.  1 free standing villa that has 5 bedrooms if you are looking for more space and privacy.

Next, let's head to Grenada. This island is not built up like other islands. There are no tall buildings, and it has a slower pace and it's more quiet. Grenada is a lush island that is green and hilly. It's known as Spice Island, and Christina highly recommends walking around the open air markets to get a feel for the culture. Calabash is the hotel she highly recommends because it's a special property that is family owned and operated and local native to the island.  They are there day in and day out getting to know the guests.  Calabash has a unique environment that is spacious only 30 suites on 8 acres. There are 5 villas perfect for families that have 2-5 bedrooms in each.  Calabash is a bed and breakfast style and breakfast is included and you can have it in your room or even on the beach!  Grenada is a diving destination and even has underwater art that you can explore! They are big into water sports and even have a dormant volcano that has a lake in it and you can hike up to it and see monkey's and lizards. So if you are looking for something different this is a perfect destination for you.

Lastly we are heading to Mexico to Le Blanc a sister company that is a luxury all inclusive adult only resorts. One is located in Cancun and the other in Cabo, so depending on which one you want to go to, which one is easier for you to get to and what kind of atmosphere you are looking for will dictate which property to stay at. At Le Blanc everything is at your beck and call, food and beverage including top shelf alcohol is included in your stay as well as butler service! They have about 6-7 restaurants and a ton of  bars, you can have 24 hour room service if you wanting to stay more to yourself. It's an amazing spa destination that is huge and has lots of space.  Cabo you can check out San Jose or Cabo San Lucas, they offer two different environments to explore from off shore fishing, night life, shopping and trying out different restaurants if you want to leave property...

The world is opening back up, where do you want to go?

Today we have Heidi La Russo from Lush Experience on the show to share with us some amazing places we can go this year!  She shares with us 3 different locations and 4 amazing resorts that are perfect during the pandemic.

Eden Roc is not your typical all inclusive Dominican Republic hotel. It's privately gated located in Cap Cana.  Flying into Punta Cana is a 15 minute ride. All cars are being sanitized before and after clients. You can only go to Cap Cana if you are staying on Cap Cana and there is so much to do there. You can go to the marina for dinner, water activities, bike tours, walking tours and equestrian center to mention just a few.  Eden Roc is located directly on the beach, and on a Jack Nicklaus Signature Punta Espada golf course. It has a 30,000 sq foot spa that focuses on wellness.   The way the property is laid out is perfect for families that want to be spread out from other people, it's very spacious! The Poolside accommodation allows you to get your own private pool that is closed off ! They have an amazing kids club.

Next we are moving on to Turks and Caicos some of the bluest water in the world.  We are going to talk about two different resorts.  The Palms which is located on Grace Bay Beach and is close proximity to the airport, around 15 min.  The resort is an all suite property with 72 suites. It never feels crowded, the rooms are very spacious.  Beautiful pool where you can see the ocean. Their spa is 25, 000 sq.  but you can also do private treatments if you do not want to be near other people. They have non motorized sports like paddle boarding, tons of activities for kids even a kid counselor that sets up fun things to do like dancing, games, exercise and art and this is for kids ages 4-12. Grace Bay Beach is a wider and longer beach and water is deeper and more active. Perfect for older kids that love to do non motorized sports.

Long Bay Beach is where you can find The Shore Club, the water is calm here, perfect for little kids, the beach is shorter and water is super shallow,  300 feet out it is at your waist!  You can feel super comfortable with the kiddos in the water while relaxing.  The Shore Club is not just perfect for families, it is a great getaway for couples. This property is all suites and also has a 4, 5, and 6 bedroom villa. Perfect for big family vacations or traveling with family friends!  Each villa has it's own private pool.  At the Shore Club you can find an adults only pool, family pool and the main pool as well as 2 tennis courts and the use of non motorized sports.  You can also have spa treatments in private bungalows or in your room, whichever one you prefer!

Lastly we are going to talk about St. Barth staying at the Le Carl Gustaf. This hotel is  brand new and opens Oct 15th. If you are looking for a smaller property this is perfect for you. There are 23 accommodations, made up of 17 bungalows,  2 bedroom jr suite, 3 bedroom loft and  5 bedroom villa. All these have private pools attached to your room. They have access to the beach which is Shell Beach and it's about a 10 minute walk.  They have fantastic restaurants and you can always do in room dining.  We have not forgotten about the kids, they have sailing lessons, surf lessons, art, and tennis.  They also have babysitters on property. The spa is incredible, great treatments and you can have them done all in your room if you prefer.

One thing Heidi said that stood out to me is that seeing the world through other people's eyes and experiencing other cultures is what travel provides. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you wondered why people love going to Cabo so much?

In 2019 I went to Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Mexico and stayed at several luxury properties.  As a travel agent I wanted to go and check out why people flocked to Cabo so often.  I stayed at 5 different resorts so that I could see the difference between each of them in order to help my travel clients.  I had the best time, it felt like a mix of Scottsdale/Palm Springs and Hawaii depending on which resort you were at. If customer service is high on your list for when you travel than you will want to make sure you stay at one of these properties. If you have a big birthday or anniversary coming up and you want to feel spoiled and taken care than make sure Cabo is on your list!  For those of you that are concerned about safety in Mexico make sure to listen to this episode as I share my thoughts on this topic and how I asked locals about their feelings on safety regarding the area as well. If you wonder what fun things you can do in Cabo here are just a few popular things you can check out, whale watching, snorkeling, swimming with the whale sharks, enjoy the beautiful beaches, golfing and if you are a foodie there are so many delicious options in Cabo. To hear about this topic and more listen to the podcast.

Do you want to go to an island with the most turquoise water you will ever see?

As the world opens up it is very clear that this is the best time to start using a travel advisor, each country has their own rules and testing requirements.  So do yourself a favor and making your life easier with advisors like myself.  So, let's jump into why Turks and Caicos needs to be on your bucket list.  My stay on the island was amazing in large part because of my amazing accommodations. I stayed at The Palms and its sister property The Shore Club. These resorts were just stunning. I stayed in a one bedroom ocean front suite and it had a fully equipped kitchen that was beautiful, a master bathroom and half bathroom, dining area, living room with a pull out couch and a laundry room that is perfect for families! One of the perks of staying at these resorts is that you can get a shuttle to each resort to eat at their restaurants. Taxi's can get really expensive on the island so the fact that you can use their shuttle for free is an amazing perk. If you were to stay there for 5 days or more I highly recommend staying in each resort and doing a split stay so that you can do beach to beach. The Palms is on the famous Grace Bay Beach and The Shore Club is on Long Bay Beach and they are two very different beaches. Grace Bay Beach is large and perfect for taking long walks in the morning or in the evening. The water is amazing in this beach, you can go paddle boarding, snorkeling, and kayaking if you like. Long Bay Beach doesn't have as big of a beach but it has Palm trees and is very shallow so it's perfect if you just want to relax in the beautiful blue water and let the kids play around without having to worry it's going to get too deep. If you are adventurous you may want to give Kite Surfing a try, there are Kite Surfing schools right next to The Shore Club. It was really fun to watch people give it a try. Since the water is so shallow even further out you can easily stand out there waist deep learning how to Kite Surf. If you want to change things up a little you can check out this Tiki Bar in the middle of the water, you can do that by taking a catamaran from The Shore Club and enjoy a few hours in the beautiful turquoise water, listening to music drinking your favorite drink. If you love food, these resorts are a must, The Shore Club has The Almond Tree and it has Southern Comfort food and everything I had was delicious, not to mention the ambience is gorgeous. When staying at The Palms you have to try the fried conch, steak and mashed potatoes and both places have desserts that are to die for. Oh and if you love bread and pastries, then these resorts are for you since they have their own pastry chef that makes chocolate croissants for breakfast and tasty sourdough and focaccia for dinner. I highly recommend Turks and Caicos if you are looking for clear turquoise water, a place to have fun and chill at the same time. You can get there under an hour and a half from Miami, it's a perfect Caribbean getaway for anyone.

Did you know that you could potentially make 100k being a Virtual Assistant?

Today we have Kathy Goughenour former Fortune 500 company employee turned millionaire on the show.  At the age of 40 she asked her boss why she wasn't getting promoted? He said "you laugh and smile too much you are never serious and will never get promoted until then!"  At that point she had to decide if she was going to stay in the comfort of a job that she knew well or leave because she knew she would never make more money. So she came up with a plan so that she could quit, she turned in her resignation letter and her boss said "you will never make this much money."  It took her only 3 years to make what she made at her previous job and she kept going and started training others to be VAs and in 2020 she hit 1 million in revenue in her business.  Kathy shares with us why becoming a Virtual Assistant is a hidden gem and perfect for moms.  She talks about the following in this episode:

Top services that people are hiring for What not to do How to get started How to market yourself How much can you really earn as a Virtual Assistant?

Have you ever thought about having an Airbnb property and how much money you could make?

Today we have Ginny Townsend on the show and she talks about how she accidentally made 6-figures with her first Airbnb property.  I wanted to have Ginny on the show today because I know so many of us are trying to figure out ways to make extra money from home and you might of not considered doing a real estate investment. We chat about why her property did so well and that it wasn't actually tourists that were staying at her property and how you don't have to live in a vacation destination in order to be successful with short term rental properties.  Ginny also mentioned how moms would be so good at having a rental property and managing it because they are great at making a house feel like a home and it's all about how your property looks and feels that draw people in.  One thing that stood out to me is when she went over 5 different ways to get in to the market and how you can make it more affordable.  Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

If you don't follow me on Instagram make sure to go to https://www.instagram.com/mominspiredliving/   I posted pictures of my recent trip to Turks and Caicos. I went there for work to do site inspections for 2 properties, and it was amazing.

Did you know there is something called "menopause rage" ? Today we have Vanessa Ford back on the show to do the second episode discussing the perimenopausal/menopausal transition.  If you missed last week's episode make sure to go back and listen to that first, it's full of amazing information.  Today, Vanessa shares with us that the average age of menopause is 51 so if you can have perimenopause for 7-13 years that means you can start having symptoms in your late 30s'. Menopause technically is when you don't have a period for 12 months consecutively, so if you start your period within that timeframe that means you start all over again before you can say you are in menopause.  Vanessa who is cofounder of  Menolabs, was prompted to action when, at 44 she had a period that lasted 3 weeks! Unsatisfied with the lack of support that women experience during this stage of life, and finding the stereotypes of women in mid-life exasperating and insulting, she created MenoLabs to address what she sees as a glaring need in every woman’s life. If you are curious what products Menolab has to offer check out the link below or in the shownotes and make sure to use my discount code to get 10% off! Vanessa knew she needed to do something about this topic because there is severe lack of research into perimenopause and menopause, despite the fact that it affects all women: • 25 million women in the United States are in the menopause transition right now. • 6,000 women enter this transition in the United States every single day. • Millennials, America’s largest generation, started turning 40 last year, the prime decade for menopause symptoms to begin. • Worldwide, there will be 1 million women in menopause in the next 5 years. So if you are finding yourself not sleeping, losing hair, gaining weight, having acne, dry skin or mood swings you could possibly be experiencing perimenopause symptoms and not even realize it. One topic that really stood out to me is how important it is to make sure your gut microbiome is healthy to help reduce perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms !  Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever wondered how you could make money blogging, especially six-figures?

Today we have blogger and business coach Kate Kordsmeier on the show. Using her journalism career and paired with some health issues that she was having with PCOS she built a blog that ended up making six figures.   She then realized that people really wanted to know how to make money on blogging so she explains how she pivoted and started a brand new blog focusing on that.  Kate, mentions that when she started her blog it was very intentional, she wanted another revenue stream and she always knew she wanted it to be a business not a hobby. We talk about how blogs can still be monetized even if people think blogging is from the past. Kate told us that people say oh it's too late to start a blog it's 2021 but she said more people are online then ever before because of the pandemic and that actually more people read blogs then check email.  She did say that you have to have the right mind set if you want to make money and treat it like a business vs. treating it like a hobby. You need to be willing to invest the time, money and energy to make it a profitable business.  One thing that stood out to me is that Kate was clear when she said it's not a get rich quick scheme, there is a lot of work that goes into and you have to be patient but it's a snowball effect! Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you approaching your 40s or in your 40s and finding that your needs are changing in regards to your overall health?

Today we have Kate Turner on the show.  Having 8 years of experience in the nutrition field she has a passion for helping women feel their best. I wanted to have Kate share with us her thoughts on what women can do approaching their 40s to have optimal health.  If you are already in your 40s don't worry we have you covered as well!  So let's start with your mid to late 30s, there are few key things to focus on and even if you are in your 40s it's not too late.  Kate shares with us metabolism decreases 5-10% every decade, and that we need to make sure to eat enough, many women are restricting too much, meal skipping, and reducing their calorie intake.  Here is the kicker, if you are not consuming enough its slows your metabolism down even more,  and then your body thinks its going into starvation mode. We need to be very protective of our metabolism, it's hard to get it back if we keep doing yo-yo dieting.  Kate also explains that it's important to consume enough protein and how it helps your metabolism and muscle preservation.  She emphasizes that we can start to lose muscle mass around 40 and we want to make sure we are supporting our muscle so that we don't lose it but are still be able to gain muscle, for those of you that don't know this the more muscle you have the more you burn! So we want to be able to add muscle not only for weight loss but to keep our bodies strong. Also, adding collagen to your diet and why it's so important and how it helps joints, our skin and gut health and when our gut is healthy it helps our immune system and weight management. We talked about why sleep is so important for your health and  it helps you to reach your nutrition goals and how our hormones reset while sleeping.  One thing that stood out to me is in order to feel the most rested you need to be sleeping between 10pm-2am  because it will provide what she refers to as the "rest regenerative repair" window. So if you are going to bed at midnight, you are missing out on 2 hours of that precious regenerative time.  Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

What would you wear if you gave yourself permission to accept your current size?

Today I am talking all about tolerating clothes that just don't fit anymore. Do you find yourself squeezing into pants that just don't fit properly but you don't want to spend the money to buy a bigger size?  Are you trying to wrestle your way into tops that are two sizes too small but you feel like if you buy a bigger size it won't motivate you to lose weight?  I know what it's like to not want to be the size that I was a few years ago and avoiding spending money on clothes that would fit me at the time.  But what I found is that I deserved to have clothes that fit and made me feel good even if I wasn't planning on staying that size forever. I want to encourage you to say no to the things that are not serving you. What do you feel like you can't wear because of your size?  Did you know that you can find your personal style with the body you have right now?  So let's get you out of uncomfortable clothes and find clothes that actually fit you, your size and personal style.  So let's stop doing that wiggle dance to get your clothes on and find something that works for you!  Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Where are all my writers at, did you know you could make money writing?

Today we have copywriter, course creator Tam Henderson on the show. We chat about how as a shy person working in PR it was so hard for her personality to be in that industry.  Tam shared with us that while working for the PR company she wrote a press release and found a formula to reissue the press release by just changing the title not even the press release and it landed the client their first million dollar deal.  Tam realized that copywriting has such a huge impact and her laptop became a portal for her to be able to communicate without feeling the fear of being judged by what she was saying in person. In her late 30's she knew she wanted to pivot to do something from home because she wanted to be a mom with a flexible schedule.  Something Tam said to me that stood out is that when you are starting out doing those small jobs and getting paid for them it helps build up your confidence.  Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you been trying to figure out what kind of job you could do at home?

Today I have freelance writer and business owner Abbi Peret on the show.  She shares with us how she started her journey with becoming a freelance writer to now helping women make money writing.  Abbi has five kids, one who has special needs and another that battled cancer. During the timeframe that her son was fighting cancer, she found herself not wanting to write.  But something had happened, she realized during that time she had started helping women and they counted on her and it gave her a reason to get out of bed in the morning.  It dawned on her that she could do this and it could be a thing and that thing that was in her head is now a business.  I asked her who would make a good freelance writer, she said if you love words, love reading, you can for sure get paid.  Abbi talks about how you have to not be afraid of putting yourself out there if you want to make this work. Something Abbi said to me that stood out is when she said if you want to start a freelance business you need to have 7-10 hours to set aside where someone can watch the kids so you can really focus.  Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Does it seem like everyone is doing a better job at parenting than you?

Today I have author, speaker and radio host Ann Wilson on the show. It was such a treat to have her on today, she shared her experience raising her 3 sons and the things that she learned.  Ann started off talking about the "minivan days" ages 5-12 and how fun those ages were and how she took advantage of being in the car with her kids for so many hours. She also shared with us how they decided that when the kids were younger that they wanted their home to be the home the kids all wanted to go to and how they went about creating that space.  Ann also talked about the teen years and what she learned from that time frame and what things she would of changed.  One topic that stood out to me, that it's so easy to compare yourself to other moms that you feel like are doing it better. Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you wish you could feel more connected to your friends?

Today I have mommy blogger, podcaster and author Laura Tremaine on the show. Laura gives us some great ideas on how to stay connected with our friends and even take it to the next level.  She talks about some fun ideas on how to go about this and get the ball rolling in your next group text thread.

Laura mentioned that she has noticed over the years that women generally stop talking about friendships, either women get busy with their family and their career or maybe they have been hurt in the past and so they are afraid to put themselves out there.  Laura also brought up the topic of having an all encompassing friendship and why we don't necessarily have to have that.  That it is okay to have friends that are in one category, you don't have to feel guilty if they are not part of every aspect of your life. Lastly, we talk about why journaling should be your new habit of 2021 and why it's so beneficial not just yourself but for your relationships with others. Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you wondering if homeschooling would be best for your family?

Today I have mom of 8, author, and homeschooling mom Durenda Wilson on the show.  She shared with us how she became an author and how that process looked like for her to write a book. She mentioned that she  was hesitant to write a book but after several people nudging her to do it she realized that her gifting is writing.  Durenda shares with us how homeschooling is different from public school  and that home life is a great representation of the real life.  Also,  how homeschooling allows for kids to move more, get outside and be able to have order the way it fits your family the best. She found that when her boys started to provoke their sisters she knew they needed to blow off physical energy that they wouldn't be able to do in a public school setting.  She also shares with us about going at a slower pace and how that can be beneficial and that we don't learn very well under stress.  Lastly, we talk about curriculum, and how everyone wants that's golden egg that will turn their child into a prodigy or get into college, and just doesn't exist.  Also, that you have to think about the curriculum for the parent as well as for the child. Hear what she has to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever wondered if you are living your life to your fullest potential?

Do you ever feel like you are playing too small? You see people out there doing big things and you know you have it in you to do something but you feel too scared?

Today I am going to talk to you guys about figuring out your "second act"! Sometimes it's easy to over look what your talents are, and it can leave you feeling like you don't have anything special to offer. But if you can think about the things other people compliment you on or ask for your help with that will give you some insight to what you may be good at.  It's so much easier for others to see our talents then it is for us to really see them.

Also 2020 was challenging for most of us and you might feel like your progress got stalled or maybe you didn't even begin what you were hoping to start, maybe you feel like you even went backwards but I wanted to encourage you to think differently! What if we weren't "starting over", what if we were just picking back up where we left off.... wouldn't that have a different feeling to think that way?  What if we could just start saying "let's just meet ourselves where were at, right now." Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you a people pleaser and feel like you just can't say "no"?

Today we Whitney Caves, a licensed professional counselor on the show to talk about, people pleasing, saying "no" and setting boundaries.  Whitney shares with us that she feels like it can be destructive when we try to do everything and always say "yes".  We talked about when we actually say "no" to opportunities even if they are good opportunities it leaves space for us to say "yes" for even better opportunities.  I like how she mentioned that when we take on too much it can start to feel like an obligation.  We know that feeling, we might be saying "yes" but our gut is saying no but we don't want to let someone down or come off rude and so it's important to know we don't have to please everyone and quite frankly we can't please everyone!  One topic that stood out to me are boundaries and why they are not wrong, bad or mean and that they actually protect the people and things that matter to us the most. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you having a hard time raising your teen?

Today we have Ginger Hubbard back on the show to share with us her journey of being a rebellious teen to becoming a Christian at 18. If you listened to Ginger's last episode 148 you know that Ginger is a Christian author and speaker so to hear she was a rebellious teen was quite surprising. So when she shared her story how her parents became Christians when she was 18 it truly changed her life drastically.  Starting at the beginning of her senior year she decided to move out because she didn't want to follow the new rules that her parents were putting in place and that was just the beginning.  Instead of her parents shutting her out they kept encouraging her to come back home and kept sharing their faith with her.  Eventually after some major decisions she made in her life that she came to regret she decided to come back home.  One story that stood out to me is when  her dad came into her room and said "little girl I need to ask you for your forgiveness, I have been a failure as a father. I have tried to win your love by giving you everything you ever wanted but I have left out the most important thing and that is Jesus Christ and she said it was such a defining moment for her." Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you been struggling with maintaining your friendships during the pandemic?

Today we have Jennifer Thompson back on the show to share with us how life has been during the pandemic regarding friendships.  As we were talking about this topic she shared with us that before COVID-19 her she always enjoyed her friends from out of state coming to visit at her house a few times a month and that it has been hard to no longer connect in that way.  Also that she has noticed that she isn't reaching out to friends as often because she has been home with the kids helping them with school as most of you can relate too!  She is finding it has been hard to not be connected as she used to be to those friends!  Jennifer did mention that a few positive things have come from all of this and one of those things is that she has learned to slow down and not rush from here to there and not only has she really enjoyed it but so has her youngest child. Also, she has learned to create more space to be more present and to not feel guilty over it.  One topic that Jennifer mentioned when it comes to  friends that she tries really hard to not put a lot of expectations on others and to give them grace.  That her friends have shown her grace over the years and she wants to be able to give that to others as well. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Has it been hard for you to build community during lockdown?

Today we have Lindsay Young back on the show today to talk about building a community during a pandemic. Lindsay shares with us what it's like to move and cultivating a community before lockdown and how she would of done somethings differently if she had known what was coming.  We talked about how if she would of known that 9 months after moving that there would of been a pandemic that she would of focused less on work and more on building friendships and creating a community for when times were tough.  Lindsay shared with us that when reaching out to friends it's really good to ask specific questions, vs. just saying "how are you?", to ask "how can I pray for you?" that way it let's your friends know that you really care about their answer and that you are special to them. In the past Lindsay and I always talk about self care and so we touched on this topic again because it's super easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list when you are feeling lonely and sad.  That to take care of yourself is super important and to create routines around the basics so that you are starting off  the day the best way possible.  She likes to say it takes the negotiation out of it.  One topic that stood out to me is when Lindsay was sharing that it's always good to check on your strong friend, that many people feel like those friends are doing fine but they still need to know that you care.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you been having a hard time working through grief?

Today we have Heidi McLaughlin, an author, speaker and someone who has been widowed twice.  Heidi shares with us how this past year has looked like for her and how she learned that she really needed human connection and what she did to connect with others since she lives on her own.  One of the reasons I wanted to have her on is because she wrote a book called Fresh Joy and I just love her attitude on life. So even if you haven't lost someone this past year, maybe you are grieving the life you had prior to COVID, maybe life changed drastically for you in a way you didn't want and dealing with that grief.  Heidi talks about how she worked through her grief and how it was hard and painful but she knew she wanted to be joyful again.  She also realized that she needed not only grief counseling but needed to go to trauma counseling and how that made such a huge difference in her life.  Lastly, she mentioned that she learned she had to ask for help, and not to wait for people to connect with her that if she wanted to feel connected she took it upon herself to reach out. One topic that stood out to me is when she told us that peace is the foundation of finding joy. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Is comparison stealing joy in your life?

So Rachel Cruz's episode from 2018 is one of the most downloaded episodes for the Mom Inspired Show so I am kicking off December "Best Of" with her episode. If you missed it the first time around I know you will enjoy this. If you have already heard this episode, I find when you listen to something more than once you learn different things since you are in a different phase of life than when you first heard it!

Rachel and I discuss everything from how comparison is killing us,  and that social media makes it super easy to to feel like we don’t have enough!  Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media wishing you had a different house, maybe you feel like you are the only one that doesn’t go on vacations as much as you like or have fabulous friends?  Rachel shares with us that she too can fall into this trap. She shares a story about coming home from a vacation and then getting on social media to find someone that she follows on Instagram on vacation and feeling like she is missing out, yet she just got home from a vacation!

We also talk about saving money so that you can have the life that you truly want.  One story that stood out to me was when Rachel was talking about saving for college and how expensive it can be to send your kids.  She shares with us that college is a blessing not an entitlement and if you are not able to pay for your kids college that doesn’t make you a bad parent! Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Does perfectionism steal important moments in your life? Today we have Jaclyn Zubiena on the show to talk about enjoying more time with our family and letting go of that never ending to do list.  With the holidays just around the corner it is so easy to keep adding to our list, to the point where we feel burned out!  Jaclyn mentions that it is so important to simplify and weed out the "shoulds".  Do you find yourself saying " I should do this or I really should of done that differently?", she encourages us that we really need to clean that self talk up and show ourselves more self love and compassion.  She challenges us to shorten our to do list so we can have more time with our family and for ourselves.  She points out that if we don't keep refilling our cup we will have nothing to give to our loved ones. Jaclyn also talks about letting go of what was normal and creating new traditions.  To shift our focus from things we can't control to the things we can. One point that stood out to me was when Jaclyn said that perfectionism steals moments in our lives that we can't get back. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

What mini habits can you put in place to help you through the holidays?

Today we have Tracy Nolin Beerman on the show to talk about the daily routines that she has implemented in her life to help her feel her best! I wanted her to come on to give us some ideas on how to best set up our day to feel less frazzled!  Tracy is going to share with us 4 simple daily practices to help busy moms. The first practice is walking, not only does it do your body good but it also increases cognitive performance in the brain and reduces stress.  She shares with us how she does a 30 minute walk especially out in nature and how it does wonders.  The second one is yoga, and bare with me before you blow this off. She talks about how yoga helps connect our mind, body and soul, she has been doing it for 30 years and finds that she always returns to the mat. She shares with us that she has ADD and it helps her to be still and calm her mind.  She keeps it to a 10 minute routine, and it helps lubricate your joints. The third practice is meditation, and she calls it her mental hygiene. The practice is bringing your mind back to this moment whenever it wanders and this too helps reduce stress. Lastly is journaling and doing mind work.  She focuses on thoughts that feel good and it helps her connect with her vision. One story that stood out to me is when her son was 3 years old, he was exhibiting her least favorite character traits. She realized that he was mirroring her and reading her like a book, and that was a pivotal moment in her life and she knew she needed to change her legacy.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you wish you were better at planning in regards to the Holiday Season when it comes to your stress level?

Today we have Jenny Stemmerman back on the show to kick off our keeping our sanity during the holiday series!  I wanted to start off this series with Jenny because she has created a Holiday Sanity course that is free so she really knows how to get in the right head space for the holidays! Jenny shares with us that one of the most important things to do when it comes to helping your stress level during the holidays is to plan! Now, she doesn't mean to plan every single thing and be rigid but to have an idea of what is important to you and your family and why you want to do certain things for the holidays! She explains how planning is self-care and that it sets us up for success so that it takes the burden off of us as moms.  Jenny was also sharing with us to know our "why" when it comes to doing certain things.  Sometimes it can be very easy to just do things because everyone else is doing them or you feel pressured to do them but if you don't really care about certain things then don't keep them on your list. One thing that stood out to me is what she really loves to do during the Christmas Holidays to start her day off on the right foot.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find it hard to figure out what your personal style is now that you have had kids?

Today we have personal style coach Allison Hamilton-Rohe on the show to talk about starting a business as a mom and why she chose being a stylist! She wanted to create a process to help women figure out their personal style.  She was sharing with us that one of the biggest obstacles that many women face is that were believing that it is suppose to be effortless.   So then when it's not effortless we feel shame around the way we look and that were suppose to look a certain way and know how to do this and we are left feeling helpless.  Allison mentioned that American women tend to have bursting closets and yet feel like they have nothing to wear, who can relate to that one?  She encourages us, to let go of the things that don't look good or we don't wear and stop buying things that don't work for us.  I asked Allison if she could pick one store to shop at and why, this is what she had to say, Nordstrom. The reason why is because of their size inclusivity, value, clothes are well made as well as their amazing customer service and great price points.  She emphasized to spend a little bit more on an item that will last a few years vs. fast fashion that will only last a few wears before it starts falling apart.  I also wanted to touch on "how do we want to show up in the world via Zoom?", what can we wear to make ourselves feel great?  Also how accessories are really the key to putting an outfit over the top and feeling polished and put together.  Lastly, I asked her what her all time favorite jeans that she recommends for everyone!

Have you ever wondered if your kids like their information and pictures posted online?

Today we have psychologist Elaine Kasket on the show to talk about sharenting and online privacy and how she learned the hard way that her daughter didn't want her life documented online!  We live in a unprecedented time in technology and we have to make decisions that our parents didn't have to even think about.  If you grew up in the  80's and 90's we didn't have little computers in our pockets that we now call cell phones, we barely even had flip phones.  There was no Facebook, Instagram, Blogs, YouTube to post our information to.  When our parents wanted to share pictures they would have to carry them around in their wallet, or mail our school photo or baby photo to our family members and friends. Elaine shares with us that our kids lives are being shared online before they are even born by posting sonogram pictures.  Elaine tells us about her journey being online and how much she was sharing about her daughter from the photos to the funny things she would say. She found herself excited when people would give her positive feedback on a certain post, which then made her want to keep posting. I thought it was interesting when Elaine mentioned that she had to start questioning why she wanted to post stuff, was she feeling lonely and wanted to connect, was she simply bored, she talks about being intentional when it comes to the reasons to why you want to post information or pictures.

How many of you have all these amazing ideas and would love to see them come to life?

Today I have stay at home mom turned inventor Marcy McKenna on the show.  Marcy shares with us how moms have some of the best ideas out there and that is why she is so passionate about helping moms with making their inventions a reality! Marcy can speak from experience, she has a travel line on HSN and she has had to figure out a lot of things to get to where she is today.  Marcy mentioned to me that she ask the question "why are women not  inventing" she thinks they are afraid of the process, so it can seem scary.  Not only that it's a male dominated industry and so it can feel intimidating as well you have to worry if someone is going to steal your ideas! Marcy talks about how women can be perfectionist and so they are really good at starting a product but may not finish because they want it to turn out perfect.  She wants to help women overcome these challenges and teach them to take the risk! One topic that stood out to me is when Marcy said that many times a patent isn't necessary because it cost a lot of money.

Are you racking your brain trying to figure out where you can travel to for the rest of the year and next?

Today we have Heidi La Russo from Lush Experience on the show to share with us some amazing places we can go this year and next!  She shares with us 3 different locations and 4 amazing resorts that are perfect during the pandemic. Heidi mentions that she is starting to see bookings again and its mainly in the Caribbean.  So let's get started with some great places that are perfect for social distancing and relaxation.

Eden Roc is not your typical all inclusive Dominican Republic hotel. It's privately gated located in Cap Cana.  Flying into Punta Cana is a 15 minute ride. All cars are being sanitized before and after clients. You can only go to Cap Cana if you are staying on Cap Cana and there is so much to do there. You can go to the marina for dinner, water activities, bike tours, walking tours and equestrian center to mention just a few.  Eden Roc is located directly on the beach, and on a Jack Nicklaus Signature Punta Espada golf course. It has a 30,000 sq foot spa that focuses on wellness.   The way the property is laid out is perfect for families that want to be spread out from other people, it's very spacious! The Poolside accommodation allows you to get your own private pool that is closed off ! They have an amazing kids club.

Next we are moving on to Turks and Caicos some of the bluest water in the world.  We are going to talk about two different resorts.  The Palms which is located on Grace Bay Beach and is close proximity to the airport, around 15 min.  The resort is an all suite property with 72 suites. It never feels crowded, the rooms are very spacious.  Beautiful pool where you can see the ocean. Their spa is 25, 000 sq.  but you can also do private treatments if you do not want to be near other people. They have non motorized sports like paddle boarding, tons of activities for kids even a kid counselor that sets up fun things to do like dancing, games, exercise and art and this is for kids ages 4-12. Grace Bay Beach is a wider and longer beach and water is deeper and more active. Perfect for older kids that love to do non motorized sports.

Long Bay Beach is where you can find The Shore Club, the water is calm here, perfect for little kids, the beach is shorter and water is super shallow,  300 feet out it is at your waist!  You can feel super comfortable with the kiddos in the water while relaxing.  The Shore Club is not just perfect for families, it is a great getaway for couples. This property is all suites and also has a 4, 5, and 6 bedroom villa. Perfect for big family vacations or traveling with family friends!  Each villa has it's own private pool.  At the Shore Club you can find an adults only pool, family pool and the main pool as well as 2 tennis courts and the use of non motorized sports.  You can also have spa treatments in private bungalows or in your room, whichever one you prefer!

Lastly we are going to talk about St. Barth staying at the Le Carl Gustaf. This hotel is  brand new and opens Oct 15th. If you are looking for a smaller property this is perfect for you. There are 23 accommodations, made up of 17 bungalows,  2 bedroom jr suite, 3 bedroom loft and  5 bedroom villa. All these have private pools attached to your room. They have access to the beach which is Shell Beach and it's about a 10 minute walk.  They have fantastic restaurants and you can always do in room dining.  We have not forgotten about the kids, they have sailing lessons, surf lessons, art, and tennis.  They also have babysitters on property. The spa is incredible, great treatments and you can have them done all in your room if you prefer.

One thing Heidi said that stood out to me is that seeing the world through other people's eyes and experiencing other cultures is what travel provides. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you trying to figure out if you want to do private homeschooling vs. online learning through the public school system?

Today I have Shannon Carpenter from Heart of Homeschooling back on the show.  I wanted to talk to her about choosing curriculum's.  I know so many parents who have decided to do remote learning are trying to figure out if they want to do their own thing vs. remote learning through the school system so that they can have more flexibility.  So Shannon shared the curriculum she has used over the years.  She suggests doing a learning style assessment and factor in what personality do your kids have. Are they organized and structure or loose and flexible? Also to consider what season of life are you in and what is the personality of the mom. She shares with us that some curriculum work better if you need your kids to be more independent say you are really busy and don't have as much time to sit down with them vs. picking a different curriculum where you are more involved.  Also,  she suggested how to get involved or even create a community and co-op as well as what does testing look like for homeschool and why it depends all on your state. One story that stood out to me is how you can enroll your high school child into college courses and apply those units toward their bachelor degree and not only that high school students get a discount to take college courses!  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you considering remote learning for this school year 2020/2021, and feeling anxious on what that might look like?

Today I have mom of 7 kids Shannon Carpenter from Heart of Homeschooling on the show.  I asked her what does she recommend to moms that are considering if homeschooling is a good option for them?  Shannon also shares with us how important it is to build a community around you if you do decide to homeschool.   She also mentions why it's good to create some quiet time for yourself so you can feel rejuvenated before your day starts and take in the quiet before your kiddos wake up! I also asked her about setting up the house and the best way to organize our space for home school.  One story that stood out to me is when she mentioned that a rigid schedule for example doing 30 min segments were not working well for their family.  That loosening up the routine truly helped!  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

What do we need to do now so that our kids don't have to do this 10-30 years from now.  Angie shares her story on what is was like growing up as the first black family in her neighborhood and how that shaped her today.  I talked to her about feeling like it's easy to say the wrong things and how that could prevent people from saying anything at all.  Also, that this will not get fixed overnight and hopefully we will see all of this change in our children's generation. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Has quarantine made you think about your design choices in your home?

Today, we have Rachel from Crate and Cottage on the show to talk all about house design without breaking the bank. She shares with us that after having her first son she had postpartum, experienced a lot of depression and anxiety. So she was looking for a creative outlet that was just for herself other than being a mom and it came in the form of decorating.  I feel like for most of us being stuck at home for COVID-19 it has either made you really appreciate how you have designed your home or its made you think twice about how your home is currently set up.  Rachel shares with us her journey of building her dream farmhouse and how she is already changing the aesthetic after 3 years of living in it.  I also picked her brain about buying things online especially rugs and how to easily return them. She talks about her favorite shopping places with us from where to buy rugs, lighting and decorations for the house. Lastly, I asked her how to make an outdoor space special even if it's small and you don't have a lot of money and her answer will probably surprise you!  One tip that I thought was really interesting is when she mentioned that removing things from one room and putting it in another and how that can make a big difference without even spending money!  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have some of you enjoyed this time of quarantine, especially if you have teens?

Today, we have Ann Kaplan on the show.  Ann talks about seeing her teens more than she normally would because of quarantine and how she has actually enjoyed it!  We talk about disappointments, from not being able to travel, to hanging out with friends and how we now have to think about "how to be with other people" and what that looks like.  Ann also points out that whatever issues we are dealing with now that most likely we were dealing with them before COVID-19.  She shares with us about not white knuckling motherhood and hopefully this moment in time will actually help us to learn to not do that.

"My Favorite Things" Segment:

This is what I use on a daily and weekly basis, its a company called Remeverse, they are a local company here in Franklin TN. The reasons I love their stuff is because they are oil free, paraben free, PEG free, contains no dyes or fragrance. So it's a very clean feeling when you are using their products and I really just love that.

Sulfate free cleanser

Sulfate Free Foaming Cleanser and not only does it cleans it tones and exfoliates in one product. So it keeps it super simple by using one product to do 3 things. Because we all know as moms who has time to do an hour routine daily!

Night Nourishing Creme 

I will say I use this day and night because I need more moisture. So if you are a person who doesn't need that I would recommend the Day Creme. But for me, I can get away with using Night both day and night. There is also an Advance Creme which I did use at the beginning, but it's too much for me to use all the time, but some people may really need that for cold winters and if their skin gets really dry. Why I love this stuff is for one, it doesn't have a smell, and what it does is it helps improves skin texture, promotes natural levels of collagen, reduces the appearance of dark circles under the eyes and continually hydrates by attracting and retaining moisture.

Miracle Mask The next item I use is more on a weekly basis not daily but I wanted to mention it and let me tell you I will forget to use this and when I go back to use it, I am like why did I stop using this because it makes my skin feel and look amazing...  So this product is called the Miracle Mask by Remeverse and this mask helps  reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You only need to leave it on your face and neck for 15 minutes and you will see a difference right away. I even did it this weekend so that I could talk about it on this show, and the next day getting ready for church my skin seemed more radiant and firm.

The best part about Remeverse is they offer a 60-day, 100% money back guarantee of this product. If you aren't completely satisfied with your RemeVerse results, return any unused portion within 60 days of purchase date and they will refund your purchase 100% (less shipping charges).  Feel free to email me if you have any questions about which products are best for you!

Has this quarantine actually been a blessing in disguise for your family ?

Today, we have Laura Smith back on the show!  If you missed her last episode you can check her out on episode 172.  I wanted to have her back to share with us what it looks like to have older kids during quarantine.  We talk about that we are weathering the same storm but our experiences look different. She shares with us that the hardest part as a mom is dealing with her kids disappointments like missing prom, possibly graduation and having to come home from college abruptly and how she can't fix it.  Laura does acknowledge that there have been a lot of blessings during this time frame too.  One of the stories that really stood out to me is when she explained that there is such a renewed sense of family and that they are able to take a giant exhale.  During this time she has realized that they were all over extended and she hopes after this that they won't fall victim to do all the things they did before.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you feeling a bit stressed or worried with money right now?

Today, we have Rachel Cruze back on the show!  I had her on the show before on episode 100 where we talk about loving your life not theirs and it was so great. Make sure to check that out after this episode! So, I wanted to have her back on during this time frame because I know people have lost their jobs, or have had to take a pay cut, or just concerned that they may lose their job.  So she shares with us what to do if you have lost your job. She doesn't want you to blow through your emergency fund, she wants you to find another source of income if you can and go on unemployment to help not eat up your savings. I asked her what should people do if they are paying down credit card debt but lost their job. She also shared with us, that if you don't have 3-6 months emergency fund and currently are investing into your retirement that you need to pause that. She also wants everyone to leave their retirement alone, don't touch it, it's there for the long haul and we need to ride it out! One topic that stood out to me is when Rachel shared with us what we need to do with our stimulus check. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

I decided to do a COVID-19 series through May, yes May because honestly, I really have no idea when life will get back to normal so I wanted to bring to you other moms and their experiences during this time frame!  I am going to be having guests talk about the challenges of homeschooling, working from home, the disappointments that come during this pandemic, enjoying older kids being all under one roof, keeping your business afloat, how to navigate your finances during this time frame, keeping yourself healthy not just physically but mentally, looking at life choices during this time, and ways to make the best of this quarantine!

Today, we have my friend Melissa Sharpe back on the show. She shares with us what its like right now in Canada to be going through this. We chat about not feeling equipped to home-school our kids, esp. when they are doing math that is above our pay grade! Just saying.... Melissa tells us how people have given her "the side eye" when they see her dropping off food for people who have a compromised immune system and she is simply trying to help them and show them love. That there is a snitch line in Canada, who knew! Also, how she encourages us to help others during this time, it's so easy to just focus on ourselves during this quarantine but we can still love on people!  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

How has your prayer life been lately?

Today we have Kristen Pardue back on the show to talk all about prayer!  Kristen shares with us why it's so important to pray.  One story that she shared that I truly loved, was how she explains what it is like to pray to help her boys. She said that she tells them that it's just like talking with your best friend or Mommy.  I loved how simple she breaks it down for them so that they don't feel overwhelmed.  She mentions that elaborate prayers can feel so intimidating and it truly is just a conversation with Jesus.  Kristen shares with us that last year was really hard for her and her family that they went through a lot of trials.  That everyone has hard times even if social media doesn't show that part.  One story that I really enjoyed was how her son was healed and how God showed her in a dream what was going to happen!  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever thought about the things that you store in your house that you never use?

Today we have Stephanie Sikora back on the show for part 4 of our simplifying series! Today we will be talking about storage and the cost that comes with storing a lot of things in our homes.  Stephanie challenges us to think about how much money we paying to store stuff in our house, how much of our mortgage are we spending to just store stuff? I thought that was such a great way to think about that.  Something I want to encourage you guys on is to think about what you are storing, if you had to pay for that space is that what you would want to be spending your money on in order to hold on those things? Maybe you would rather have that space for something else, take time to think about those things. One tip that Stephanie shared with us is start with easy projects, don't tackle the most difficult thing first.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel overwhelmed with all the kid stuff?

Today we have Stephanie Sikora back on the show for part 2 of our simplifying series! Today we will be chatting all about kids stuff and how we can start minimizing the clutter. Some of the topics that I wanted to talk to Stephanie about were school photos, family photos and portraits that might be large and what in the world are we doing with them when we don't want them on the walls anymore.  Stephanie walks us through how she handles this issue with her clients and challenges us to really think about our purchases.  People are getting these huge photos and then storing them in their basesment where no one can see them. So let's be more intentional with what we bring into our space and how to manage it.  What do we do when Christmas and birthdays come around and we are bringing in a lot of stuff, do we get rid of stuff before they get more stuff.  What to do with our kids clothes, do we donate, sell, or giveaway?  One interesting topic is selling clothes and how it can then become another project that we push off. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

I thought it would be great to have her back on the show in time for Spring cleaning.  I truly believe that the more simple we can live our lives the less stressed we will feel.  Many times it can be very overwhelming or feel chaotic because there is just so much stuff in the house and that alone can feel so stressful! This week we are going to talk about paper and how can we limit what we keep vs. what we get rid of.  One topic that I really loved is when Stephanie shared with us what she does with papers that need to go back to school. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Similar to getting your house in order, you may be struggling to get your health in order.

Have you stopped dreaming big because it just feels way too scary? Today we have author and professor Beth Troy on the show and we are talking all about dreaming big even when it feels super scary! Beth shares with us how she had to learn how to live with both her dreams and life in both hands. All too often I think it's so easy to think that dreams and real life are to be kept separate and we really need to live with both of them together!  We can get so caught up in our kids lives and making sure that they are going after their dreams that we forget about dreaming for ourselves. When is the last time you thought, this is a dream I want to go after. I think it is so easy to not even think about dreaming too big because we are afraid it won't happen.  Beth shares with us her journey of making her dreams come true writing her first book and what she learned in that process.  One topic that stood out to me is when I asked Beth what her advice was on helping her kids dream big.  Hear what we have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you have food allergies, skin issues, or other concerns that could be tied to your gut health? Today we have Tina Anderson on the show and we are talking all about our gut health and what that exactly looks like! Did you know that if you have food sensitivities you could possibly have gut issues. Tina shares with us her background as a trial lawyer and then became in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company.  What she didn't realize was working in pharmaceuticals it opened her eyes and she then turned toward the field of natural health and truly found her calling helping people heal their guts by creating a probiotic that she couldn't find on the market.  One topic that really concerned me is a product that is used all the time on our foods and plants and how it destroys the good bacteria in our bodies.  Hear what we have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Does life feel hard especially at the beginning of a new year? Today we have Suzanne Banker back on the show and were talking about how the new year can sometimes feel super hard because we have such high expectations!  We talk about how easy it is to get super excited before the new year to have all of our goals and dreams written out but have it look so different when life gets in the way! Have you ever noticed that some people look like they have everything easy, and it seems like they are able to stay on top of things while being successful?  Suzanne shares with us how it's easy to just see the good things in people's lives and not really know what is truly going on behind closed doors.  She opens up about how it has been a hard start for her this year but yet people wouldn't really know that if they were to just look at her Instagram feed.  It's so easy with social media to feel like everyone has it together, but what you don't see is the hard work people are putting in day in and day out, and picking themselves back up after they have failed and keep going.   One topic that stood out to me is when she was talking about comparison and how that really can be the thief of joy.  Hear what we have to say on this topic and more on the podcast. If you liked this episode make sure to listen to the episode I did with Noelle Cordeaux on feeling lonely: Why do we feel so lonely?

She shares with us how to create a financial plan and goes over what an estate plan is and how to go about finding the right attorney in your state to help you draft a plan.  One topic that stood out to me is when she shared her story and how she wasn't really involved their family finances and how that caused problems later on. Hear what we have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you wondered if you are providing your body with the right supplements and food to achieve your goals, esp. when it comes to weight loss?

Today is part 2 of my weight loss series.  Kristen Pardue is back on the show with me to help share the products that I took during my journey to getting healthier and losing weight. Not only is she a dietitian but she cured herself of an auto immune disease with products that we are going to be talking about. She has so much knowledge and does such an amazing job at breaking things down and explaining why we need certain things in our diet to be healthier.  Some products I didn't take the whole time, some I just started not that long ago but wanted to include everything. So I put the oils and supplements at the top of the show notes and if you want to scroll to other things esp. items you can find on Amazon, make sure to scroll to the bottom of the show notes. One topic that really stood out to me is that we have so much inflammation in our bodies and people don't even realize it. To hear about this and more listen to the podcast.

If you are wanting to order anything from Doterra please email me at amber@mominspiredshow.com, the links I currently have are directing to a different Amber Sandberg in Utah.  I am in the process of getting this fixed, if you need anything please email me.

Have you ever wondered why you feel over stimulated but yet under performing?

Today we have Dr. Kristen Race on the show where we talk about balancing our brains to have a more balanced life.  She talks about how you can't live a balance life without first balancing your brain chemistry.  Kristen also shares how we can be under-performing yet overstimulated and by overstimulating our brains it impairs our attention, problem-solving and decision-making skills. One topic that really stood out to me was her tips on how to slow down, reduce stress and improve brain function.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever wondered what does hospitality really look like?

Today we have Melissa Sharpe back on the show for part 2 of our interview and we talk about why hospitality is so important. Melissa shares her personal experience on what it looks like in her daily life and she gives us tips on being a good host.  We talk about how it's so easy to think hospitality is about the house looking perfect with pinterest made recipes.  Melissa talks to us about how Jesus defines hospitality and uses the woman at the well as an example.  One topic that really stood out to me is the topic of FOMO (fear of missing out) and how feelings of comparison and jealously esp. when looking at other people's lives on social media can steal joy and our ability to be hospitable.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find that you get stressed out for the holidays vs. being excited for them?

Today, Jenny Stemmerman from Your Life Rocks and I talk about how it can be so easy to get stressed out as moms when it comes to the holidays.   This episode is more of a conversation between friends that we wanted to include you in on and just share our experiences and most likely you will be able to relate to one of us if not both.  We discuss how we try to keep things simple but special and how we have similarities but also different approaches when it comes to the holidays and what that looks like.  One topic that stood out to me is how do we prioritize other family members and what they want for their holidays.  Hear what we have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you been wanting to get away on a vacation that you feel completely pampered and stress free? Earlier this month I had the privilege to go to Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Mexico and stayed at several luxury properties.  For those of you that don't know my story, I am a travel agent with H & K Luxury Travel and earlier this Spring I got invited to a dinner here in Nashville for travel agents.  I met some amazing people that represented luxury properties in Mexico, especially in Cabo.  So, I decided to go check out these amazing places for myself so that I could come back and share with you my experience. I stayed at 5 different resorts so that I could see the difference between each of them in order to help my travel clients.  I had the best time, it felt like a mix of Scottsdale/Palm Springs and Hawaii depending on which resort you were at. If customer service is high on your list for when you travel than you will want to make sure you stay at one of these properties. If you have a big birthday or anniversary coming up and you want to feel spoiled and taken care than make sure Cabo is on your list!  For those of you that are concerned about safety in Mexico make sure to listen to this episode as I share my thoughts on this topic and how I asked locals about their feelings on safety regarding the area as well. To hear about this topic and more listen to the podcast.

Please feel free to message me on social media or email me at ambersandberg@hkluxurytravel.com to talk about your next vacation.

When do you think it's too young to talk to your kids about sex?

Birds & Bees are back and they are trying to revolutionize the topic of sex! If you missed my first episode with Megan, feel free to go back and listen to episode 72. Today, Mary Flo and I will be talking about how to bring up sex to your kids if you haven't broached the subject yet.  She talks to us about how will our kids process the idea of sex, and how we don't want to let that be in the hands of school or the culture, we need to navigate that with them.  She asks "how do we formulate the message that reflects our values. They need to hear OUR voice on this!" We also talk about being a single parent, or military spouse and having to have these talks with the opposite sex. Mary Flo gives us some ideas on how to talk to our kids even if you are holding down the fort on your own. We also discuss pornography and how it creates a very strong addictive behavior.  One thing that stood out to me is when she mentions how we need to be very careful when our kids are on ipads, smart phones and computers. Porn comes looking for them, and we need to really protect our children. She shares how pornography is so damaging. She gives us some steps on how to talk to them about this topic. It's very powerful and eye opening and you will want to share with your friends. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find yourself feeling lost when it comes to keeping your kids stuff organized?

Today we have professional organizer, Lisa Woodruff on the show for a 4-part series. I know for many moms, summers can be challenging with having the kids home and trying to keep the house from looking like a tornado went through it. So if you have been wanting to tackle your kids stuff this is the perfect series for you! Today, we are going to talk about the kids bedrooms and why Lisa likes to refer to them as their "mini apartments".  Lisa shares with us that its a good idea to give kids ownership of their bedrooms in making decisions on how it is arranged and being responsible for keeping it clean and maintained. With this said, this means that kids need to be able to say what they want to keep and what they are ready to let go of. One topic that really stood out to me was when she shared that kids will give up items in their bedroom in order to keep it clean once whey know how to clean their rooms.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you feel guilty when you carve out time just for yourself?

Today we have Jennifer Thompson back on the show for our 3- part series on mom-guilt.  Jennifer and I talk about how it can be so hard as moms to make time for ourselves.  That it's so easy to put our needs last and in the end it's not beneficial for anyone! Self-care is such a big topic these days and I think that many moms think that they have to run off on a girls-trip, or escape to a spa retreat to be able to check that box off. Were here talking about how just taking moments throughout the day to yourself can reap huge benefits.  From getting up in the morning before the kids and having a cup of coffee, or taking a nap if you have a baby instead of cleaning the kitchen to making time to work out so that you feel good not only physically but mentally.  Hear what we say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Are you in love with the Enneagram, well have you ever thought about how it could make your marriage thrive?

Today we have the Enneagram Coach, Beth McCord back on the show and we talk about her new book she wrote with her husband.  She shares with us that she couldn't find an enneagram book for married couples that resonated with her.

She gives us a glimpse of what she talks about in the book from the importance of doing our own work, and to be understanding and forgiving to our spouse by using the Enneagram. One topic that stood out to me is to not commit "assumicide" but rather ask for clarifying questions and give clarifying statements.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you find yourself struggling to start something because you want it to be perfect?

Today I am talking all about perfectionism. Do you find yourself thinking "well if I can't do it perfect then I am just not going to do it at all!"

Little by little what we do both negative or positive will eventually add up. So, if you are wanting to start something but feel too scared too, or you have been putting something off because you felt like you couldn't do it perfect, I am here to say, you just need to start!  Hear what I have to say on this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you ever feel like your life is too busy to rely on prayer?

I head the pleasure of talking with author Lindsey Renee of 45 Days of Prayer.   She shares with us why she wants to encourage  women who feel busy that prayer is really important part of our walk as Christian women. She talks about how she created this book to make it super easy to pray and even incorporate prayers with our children. We chat about how we can start a routine with our kids with their prayer life and it doesn't have to be super complicated, even if its just talking to them about what are they thankful for the day!  One story that I loved hearing was when Lindsey shared with us on how she learned the importance of prayer and witnessed first hand the power of prayer when her oldest son was born with a rare tumor disorder.  Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Do you ever find yourself easing up on your health or weight goals around Halloween every year? Do you find yourself thinking well, January 1, is just around the corner I can start then?

I head the pleasure of talking with Nutrition Coach Lindsay Young today about how we can think about food differently. I think its too easy to start slacking off with our goals if it be losing weight, maintaining weight or just keeping our healthy lifestyle with the start of Halloween.  Just a piece of candy here and another piece of candy there, next thing you know you are justifying why you are eating whatever you want from Halloween to New Years.  She talks about her own experience with food and trying to lose weight and how she finally got to the point where she is today, healthy and fit.  One story that I loved hearing was the fact that she set the bar really low in order to lose her pregnancy weight, and really keeping track of the mini successes so that she could re-build that belief in herself again! Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

You guys, I can't believe this is the 100th episode!  With that, I thought it would be great to have Rachel Cruz on the show to talk about her book Loving Your Life, Not Theirs!

Rachel and I discuss everything from how comparison is killing us,  and that social media makes it super easy to to feel like we don't have enough!  Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media wishing you had a different house, maybe you feel like you are the only one that doesn't go on vacations as much as you like or have fabulous friends?  Rachel shares with us that she too can fall into this trap. She shares a story about coming home from a vacation and then getting on social media to find someone that she follows on Instagram on vacation and feeling like she is missing out, yet she just got home from a vacation!

We also talk about saving money so that you can have the life that you truly want.  One story that stood out to me was when Rachel was talking about saving for college and how expensive it can be to send your kids.  She shares with us that college is a blessing not an entitlement and if you are not able to pay for your kids college that doesn't make you a bad parent!

If you are looking for a casual yet fun episode to listen too today, then this is the show to listen too.  One of things that I could appreciate hearing from Jenny is how it's so easy for random people to think its okay to  speak into someone else's life when they really have no clue what it's really like to walk in that mom's shoes.  Also, one part that stood out to me in this episode is when Jenny and I were talking about seasons of life and sometimes life is going to be really messy and busy and that's ok!  Hear what we say about this topic and more on the podcast.

Have you ever thought, how do I grow the money I actually have? Get ready to have your mind blown and be prepared to think outside of the box. Former News Anchor Natali Morris joins us today on the Mom Inspired Show and let me tell you, this woman knows her stuff. She decided to stay home after her second child was born even though she was struggling to go back full time to being a News Anchor.  She shares with us how moms that work full time outside of the home can possibly figure out how to quit their job and what steps that you would need to do to figure this out. One of things that I loved hearing was that she said if she wasn't going to be bringing home a regular paycheck, then she was going to get good at personal finance and make that her job.  One story that stood out to me loud and clear was that she was saying that a lot of moms are resigned to the administrator tasks in regards to money. But she wants to challenge you to learn how to expand your wealth not just budget what you have. She encourages moms to really get involved in building wealth and she shares how you can do that in the podcast. Resources mentioned in the podcast: Tax Free Wealth Tax Free Wealth on Amazon

Have you ever felt life is happening to you vs. you making life the way you want it? I had the pleasure of speaking with Lara Casey of Cultivate What Matters on the show today.  I met Lara in 2012 at one of her Making Things Happen events and I have loved her ever since.  We talk about being intentional with our lives in every aspect, how sometimes we have to say no to things that are even good things. That's right, we can't say yes to everything even if they are good! A few things stood out to me when chatting with Lara, she has 3 kids and runs multiple businesses and so she shared with me that she has to build in intentional times with her kids. I think so many of us think things will just magically happen and as we all know when you have kids, a spouse, work, family and friends you have to be very intentional with your life in order to get the outcome you hope and dream for. One of the stories that stood out to me is why Lara Casey decided to close a successful chapter of her life which was Southern Weddings Magazine after 10 years, hear why she decided to make that decision and more on the podcast.

Travel Tip of the week:

When traveling, esp. when you have kids you always want to get travel insurance. You never know if a child will get sick or something happens that prevents you from going on a trip of a lifetime. When I was younger I always thought this was not necessary but as I have gotten older and have kids, I realize something can pop up last minute and I would hate to lose all that money. If you are wanting to plan a trip of a lifetime, I would love to come alongside of you and help you make that dream a reality, you can email me at ambersandberg@hkluxurytravel

Have you ever thought about going on a Disney Cruise?

I have been on a 7 night cruise and a 4 night cruise.  I talk about is it worth the price, what makes it different then other cruises, the kids clubs, and what is the difference between going to the Disney parks vs. going on a Disney Cruise.  So, if you have never been on a cruise or you have been on different cruise lines and you have been sitting on the fence about a Disney Cruise, then you won't want to miss this episode. I share my experience from going on the Disney Dream last year when I had a 3 and 6 year old and what I would of done differently but also share the things that I really loved about it. So to hear more on this topic and my story on the podcast.   If you are wanting to go on a Disney Cruise or have any questions you can go to mominspiredshow.com/contact and send me an email!       Guest Contact Info: Amber Sandberg Website: http://mominspiredshow.com/ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Mom-Inspired-Show-181537359017063/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambersandberg/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ambersandberg/ Travel Tip of the week: Since we are chatting about Disney Cruises, if you don't have the luxury of going during high season, I would recommend going in the shoulder seasons.

Do you have a passion or dream and you just don't know where to start to make it happen?

I had the pleasure of speaking with speaker and author Christy Wright of Dave Ramsey's Business Boutique.  We discuss everything from being a traditional working mom that works outside of the house to a mom that is running her own business or wanting to start a side hustle. Christy mentioned that sometimes it's all about just raising your hand to be the right person for the job and not waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder to say you can do it. A lot of times women wait for permission to step up and it needs to be the reverse of that, you need to feel confident to say you can do this, even if you don't know if you can. You just need to be willing to try!One story that really stood out me was that Christy never set out to be a speaker, she just wanted to solve a problem. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Does it ever feel challenging to work with certain people if it be a co-worker or a client?

In this 2 part series I had Beth McCord back on the Mom Inspired Show so we could chat about using the Enneagram in the workplace. She shares with us that she loves when she can help her team thrive and have a voice.  Also, knowing more about your type will help you figure out what triggers you and will help you become a better employee, boss or business owner. One thing that stood out to me is when she said "If we just know what we can and can't do, then put the people in the right positions to take care of the things we are not good at, is a good leader."

Travel Tip of the week:

Have you ever thought about going to Europe with the kids but it feels overwhelming? Disney has something called Adventures by Disney and they have these tours in Europe. A friend of mine just got back from doing an Adventures by Disney trip to Italy and she said it made the trip so special and less stressful. They were able to do one of a kind things that no one else could do, and they had an American guide and an Italian guide to make things seamless. So if you are interested in finding out more about Adventures by Disney and all the destinations some of them are South Africa, Japan and Norway, you can email me at ambersandberg@hkluxurytravel

Have you ever wondered if you could type your child in regards to Enneagram?

In this 2 part series I had Beth McCord back on so we could chat about parenting with the Enneagram.  She shares with us that it's hard to know what your kid's type is especially when they are young.  She mentioned that what you could do is start to eliminate the types that you know they are not, so that you have it more narrowed down.  One thing that stood out to me was the age that a child should be before you really start to figure out their type, to hear what she says about this and more on the podcast.

Does your child seem restless after sleeping?

Today we have Tara Clancy on the show, she is a literacy expert and she is finding that there is more behind this issue then just the child struggling to be a good reader.

After her daughter struggling with different things, she realized that kids could be having a hard time in school because of sleep related breathing problems.  She goes over what to look for to see if your child is having breathing issues.  A few things she mentions to look for is, spacing of your preschooler and school age child's teeth, if your kids are snoring, do they walk around with an open mouth and if they are a noisy breather because that means their nasal cavity is impacted. These are all symptoms that could be pointing to sleep related breathing problems. So you may be wondering what does this have to do with reading? By not getting rested sleep, your child's brain is being impacted and then it can effect their reading skills.

Have you had the sex talk with your kids?

Birds & Bees are back and they are trying to revolutionize the topic of sex! If you missed last week with Megan, feel free to go back and listen to episode 72. Today, Mary Flo and I will be talking about how to bring up sex to your kids if you haven't broached the subject yet.  She talks to us about how will our kids process the idea of sex, and how we don't want to let that be in the hands of school or the culture, we need to navigate that with them.  She asks "how do we formulate the message that reflects our values. They need to hear OUR voice on this!" We also talk about being a single parent, or military spouse and having to have these talks with the opposite sex. Mary Flo gives us some ideas on how to talk to our kids even if you are holding down the fort on your own. We also discuss pornography and how it creates a very strong addictive behavior.  She mentions how we need to be very careful when our kids are on ipads, smart phones and computers. Porn comes looking for them, and we need to really protect our children. She shares how pornography is so damaging. She gives us some steps on how to talk to them about this topic. It's very powerful and eye opening and you will want to share with your friends.

This is a resource that Mary Flo suggested if someone you know is battling with pornography and wants to get out of it.

Hey you guys, so I wanted to re-run this episode from last year for two reasons. First, I keep hearing moms ask about "when do we talk to our kids about sex?" So, if you missed last year's episode with Megan, then you can tune in right here to find out what she has to say about sharing information with our kiddos regarding sex and when is it too early? If you did hear this episode last year, then this is a great refresher. Secondly, next week I will have Mary Flo on from Birds and Bees, she works together with Megan. We will be discussing the transition from talking to a young child to talking to older kids about complicated things. Also, how to bring our conversation up to speed if we haven't talked to our elementary aged kids yet about sex. Mary Flo will also be discussing pornography and how easy it is for our kids to access it. So you won't want to miss next week's episode if you have school aged kids.

I really hope that the show leaves you inspired and encouraged to be able to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees.

What is Enneagram?  Do you know it's a personality resource that has been around for 2000 years?

Join Enneagram coach Beth McCord and I as she shares with us what the Enneagram is and why it can benefit our lives esp. our marriages. Beth has been studying Enneagram for 15 years, and wanted to bring it through the lens of the gospel. Enneagram is so much more then a personality test, because its explaining why we think, feel and behave in particular ways.

Today we are talking about Recapturing Romance as part 3 of the Marriage Series with Emily Pardy.  She mentions that its normal to for intimacy to take a hit through pregnancy/postpartum, and that it can be challenging to get back on track.  She also shares how its important to know our spouses love languages, how do they like to be loved? Do they like words of affirmation, touch, acts of services, or gifts? Emily has a fun little activity she has her clients do, you may want to try it too! Ask your spouse 1/week what their favorite thing about themselves and yourself is, for that week. Playing Favorites does 3 things: 1. Makes you feel good – everyone loves a compliment. 2. Helps you look for the postitive things throughout the week. 3. Reveals something about yourself that you value. Let's Go to the Show!

Today we are talking about Recapturing Friendship as part 2 of the Marriage Series with Emily Pardy.  She mentions "that it's normal for a shift to occur after having a baby – you go into survival mode and sometimes it’s hard to get out of that new pattern of care giving." She shares that its so important to recapture that friendship that we once had before kids. Some might be thinking but don't we just need romance?  Romance is very important and we will be talking about that next week but Emily emphasizes that since we spend so much time with our spouse we better like the person we spend most of our time with.

Have you ever thought communicating in your marriage should just be easy? That we shouldn't have to really work at it, it should just be something that happens on a daily basis with no issues? Well, we would like to think that but you add in kids, and work and busy schedules and communicating can often disappear! Today Emily and I are going to talk about recapturing communication and what is involved to make it happen. When you think about communicating, you have to consider timing, listening, non-verbal cues, and honesty. So if you are looking to recapture your communication with your spouse make sure to tune in. This is part 1 of the 3 part series. Next week we will be talking about recapturing friendship and in the 3rd week we will be discussing recapturing romance!

Are you an emotional eater?

Are you feeling overwhelmed, not motivated, maybe even lazy? Do you feel you are an emotional eater, do you eat when you are sad, stressed, happy, etc.? Today we have life coach Angie Gross on the show to walk us through why we really need to fix our mindset first if we really want to lose the weight and keep it off. We chat about the thoughts we have and how it influences our decisions to lose weight or not. She shares with us the steps she has her clients take to start the process of losing weight.  We break down different types of ways we eat for example, Fuel, Storm, Fog and Joy eating.  She also shares with us that we shouldn't settle as moms, its so easy to accept that we are moms now when it comes to our weight and post baby bodies.  Angie, really encourages us that we can get whatever results we desire.  Lastly, we talk about being creative when it comes to self care, and its not just about getting pedicures but more about just taking time for yourself, whatever makes yourself feels better. So, if you have been feeling in a rut and finding yourself sabotaging your weight loss goals, I hope this show inspires you to really get honest with your thoughts and get to the bottom of why you are eating your emotions.

Today we have Danielle Livak on the show and if you want to be inspired by someone who is disciplined both mentally and physically then this show is for you! Danielle is not only a friend of mine but she has been my trainer in the past and I take her glutes class and let me tell you, she is the real deal. She walks the walk, and if we could have a little bit of her discipline and determination it would be amazing to see what our potential could be. One of the things I love about Danielle is she has the capacity to appreciate delayed gratification and let me tell you in this fast paced society where we want everything right now, its hard to find someone who can like the journey and not just want to fast forward to the destination.  I hope this show inspires you to step outside of your comfort zone, and do the one thing that you have been thinking about trying.

Losing 120lbs While Battling Depression.

Hey you guys, like I mentioned in last week's episode, this month we are focusing all on weight, fitness, health and diet. Today's episode with Nadia Russell is very eye opening if you struggle with food addiction or emotional eating. This episode is not about calories in and calories out, we dig deep much deeper than that. Nadia was so gracious to be very transparent with her story that we can learn from her and help us with our journey to better health, both physically and mentally. She shares with us how at one point she was over 320lbs and there was no joy in her life. She didn't want to be around her kids and husband and felt very isolated and depressed.  She talks to us about falling into a victim role and how that keeps you down, and if you don't address the anger or hurt that you are feeling it will keep creeping back into your life.  It wasn't until she started working on herself mentally that she was able to lose over 120lbs. I hope this show let's you know that you are not alone if you are struggling with this, and maybe it's not food, maybe it something else. Just know that you are not alone and I hope this episode brings you some comfort and gives you the courage to take the next step to becoming the best version of yourself.

Extreme Weight Loss & Body Transformation

Hey you guys happy 2018! For the month of January I decided to do all episodes on fitness, diet weight loss and health all from different perspectives in hopes to give you inspiration to get you through January and not to quit your goals and keep you pushing through when you feel frustrated.  So I couldn't think of a better guest to start off the new year with then Heidi Powell! You guys I can't tell you how excited I am to have Heidi on the Mom Inspired Show.  If you are familiar with the show from a couple years ago called Extreme Weight Loss on ABC then you probably know who Heidi Powell is! Her and her husband Chris were the trainers on the show and they helped people lose huge amounts of weight. So, I wanted to bring her on the show today because not only does she have a killer body but she has 4 kids and runs a business with Chris.  So she totally gets how it is to be a mom, to be busy and trying to make time for working out and eating well. Heidi shares with us that if what we are not doing things that are attainable then its going to be very hard long term to stick with.  She shares with us how their new app is all about eating a lot, not feeling deprived and still reaching our goals. I hope that this show leaves you inspired to start the new year on the right foot and make 2018 your year!

Hi you guys we are back for part 3 of the 3 part series of Leave No Girl Behind with Melissa Sharpe. Today we are chatting about talking with our kids vs. talking at them. How its so important to have a conversation with them, and ask them open ended questions. Also, to ask them how they are feeling vs assuming you know.

As we close this series we also encourage you to find their tribe so that it can feed their soul. To surround our daughters with the right kind of girls and also be the example that we want for our girls to model after. How do our girls see us with our friends, how do they see us behave or resolve conflict. This plays such a huge role with how our daughters will for them friendships and maintain them.

You guys know how much I love to travel, but sometimes it can be a little nerve wrecking to take our kiddos to places that are super crowded like busy airports and theme parks. That is why I brought on Lindsay today, she has created this amazing device that I feel will give you so much more peace of mind when traveling with little ones. She shares with us how she had lost her son at a sporting event and how this inspired her to create a product so that situation would never happen again.

She also shares with us how hard it was to leave her babies at home in order to pursue this dream but she knew it was important and didn't want any other parent to go through what she did.  So, if you have kids that ride the bus to school and you would like to be able to track them, or you travel a lot in airports and worry about your kids walking away from you or maybe you have a toddler that loves to run from you in the store then you are going to love this episode on how to avoid losing our kids in crowded places.

Enjoy the Show!

Hey you guys on today's episode we have  Caroline Ritter on the show. I wanted to have her on the show because she took a leap of faith to start something that in the end, would be much bigger then herself. Caroline and her husband started a local market in the suburbs of Nashville, called Sunday Market Franklin. So, I have Caroline go behind the scenes on what it's like to start a local market and why she decided it was important to have one.  She shares with us how the market is creating a community.  So if you are local to Nashville or planning on coming here you won't want to miss out on visiting this fun market. I hope the show leaves you  inspired to go after whatever you've been dreaming about even if it feels scary and  much bigger than yourself!

Hey you guys, I am so excited this is my 50th episode! I know when I started this journey a year ago, episode 50 sounded daunting! But time flies and this podcast has been such a labor of love and so I thought it would be a perfect episode to talk about preparing for birth and birth stories.

Today we are talking with Rebeka Watson, she is a birth doula. She shares with us about  preparing for birth and sharing birth stories and everything that goes along with this journey. She also explains what a doula does for the mom, and why they can play such an important role with your birth.  We talk about the hopes and dreams of our labor and how sometimes when you don't get that birth of your desire, it can be hard to process those feelings. We chat about natural unmedicated births, epidurals and c-sections.  I hope this show leaves you inspired to feel all the feelings you have when it comes to your birth story and know you are not alone.

Hey you guys this week we welcome back Jessica Wolstenholm to the show. Since she was on our show (which was episode 3) she has started a new journey from her website Grace for Moms which focused on moms, to a family website called Gather and Grow where we chat about faith starting at home. She shares with us why she decided to go in this direction, and how important it is to invest in our children's lives. She also shares with us what we need to know about helping our kids develop healthy friendships. If you have been struggling to find time for family devotions or just taking the time to sit down with your kids to talk about what is going on in their lives then you will really love this episode. I hope it inspires you to find some small ways to incorporate more family time in your life.

Today's show we chat with Samantha Johnston about branding and how she started her business. I know for me when I started my podcast it was overwhelming trying to figure out the website and branding so I thought it would be fun to have Samantha on who helps women with DIY branding to just taking over and doing it all for them.  So, if you are in the beginning stages of starting a business and need help with figuring out your brand style then you won't want to miss this show. We also chat about how she came up with the name of her business and why she thinks of Tinker Bell when thinking of a character for her brand. If you have been in business and feel like you might need a revamp of your website and your branding style, this show will also speak to you, she walks us through a few exercises that helps you figure out what your brand should look like in order to match your personality and what you are selling. I hope this show inspires you to make a brand that represents you and your style, and take that leap.

Today we are chatting with party planner/party designer Christa Graham.  I picked her brain on everything from how do you get people to RSVP to your invites, to not stressing out about throwing parties for the kids, and trying to figure out the budget for kids parties.  We discuss party favors, and thank you notes as well as what to do after the party to get all the gifts organized and the house cleaned up.  As well as opening presents at the party vs. not and what we should be doing if we decide to open presents once the guests leave. So if you have been dreading having parties anytime soon this is such a great episode to listen too.

I hope this inspires you to throw that party and not be stressed out and just enjoy the day!

Hey you guys, so I don't know if you have noticed that I like to sprinkle in fitness and health episodes from time to time. The reason why is because I hear so many mom's trying to figure out which eating plan they should do, if it be Whole 30, Keto, Macro counting, Calorie Counting, Low carb, etc. So when I bring on guests and they really love a certain way of doing things, I don't want you to feel like that is the only way. The reason I bring on different people is so that you can listen to their stories and figure out from there what fits your personality the best. Not everyone likes to do the same thing so I am just providing you information so you can either give it a try or you can say you know what I think I am going to pass on this program. I do want to say that come Jan. when everyone is thinking about health and fitness,  I am going to bring on some mom's and we are going to talk about what they are doing and why it worked for them. So make sure to check back in or you can subscribe to the Mom Inspired Show email list and mominspiredshow.com and you will get notified when those episodes come out!

I am so excited for today's episode. I am bringing on trainer and owner of Fit Mom Go, Erin Kendall. She shares with us how her health and fitness changed after having kids and how long it took her to get her body back.  Also, she shares with us what she thinks is the hardest thing for moms in regards to getting into shape after kids. Also, she opens up and talks about what she eats and you may be surprised to hear what she likes to have at the end of the day and why she doesn't track her food anymore. Erin also talks about why working out 30min at a time is enough, because as mom's we just don't have the time to work out for an 1.5 anymore. She was also gracious enough to do some workout videos just for the Mom Inspired Show FB group, so make sure to check that out. I hope this show leaves you inspired that you can get into shape after kids.

Also, how the dynamics change with every child you add to your family.

I hope this show leaves you inspired to be more prepared for the transitions in your lives if it be a new baby, or adding another baby and how to be vocal for what you need so that you can be the best mom for your family.

Hey you guys, well we are back to our regular episodes. I hope you enjoyed the Cultivating Your Village Series, but I also hope that you are excited to get back to our normal routine! Speaking of normal routines, most of us are still in summer schedules, kids our out of school and we may be feeling a little more ragged as schedules are all over the place. I wanted to bring Sara Robinson on to talk with us about the importance of self care for moms. Even saying this I can just imagine so many of you moms just feeling tired, wearing two-day-old clothes, hair not washed, patience running low, throwing pizza to the kids for the third day in a row for dinner! So in today's episode we are going to chat about some self care ideas that are practical and creative, the challenges of working from home with kiddos there, and dealing with negative feelings and not feeling like you are doing well enough. Also, if you have a business and are trying to figure out why Pinterest is so important when it comes to using it to promote your brand, you will want to hear Sara tell us some tips on figuring it out and why it can drive so many people back to your website.

I hope this show leaves you inspired to take some time out for yourself so that you feel more refreshed and more like yourself to be a better mom.

Welcome back to Cultivating Your Village, today is part  and we will be discussing on this episode "how does our village build the body of Christ?" How does our village impact our family, and our little corner of our world".  How does it all work together to unify us?

With that, I want to encourage all of you to reach out and get a dinner going with your neighbors, or co-workers, or mom's that you see at preschool or school and invite them to a dinner even if you want to go out to dinner vs having them over.  Take that risk, be brave, and we would love to hear about it! If you decide to do this, please message me, you can email me here.

Also, I am not just talking to my fellow Americans! I just want to do a shout out to Japan, you guys have bypassed Canada with downloads! I have talked to a friend of mine and she is a military wife and she said that there is a big base in Japan so if you are listening and you are in Japan, please leave me a message I would love to hear from you!

Anyway, no matter where you are, I want to encourage you guys to open your doors, invite people in, and take that risk. Get to know women around you, don't just "like" their FB post or Instagram posts. Really get to know them, that is my challenge for you and I really want to hear back from you guys.

Also, if you haven't already joined the Mom Inspired Show email list make sure you do that at Mominspiredshow.com, so that way you will know when our new series will be launching called "No Girl Left Behind".  This will most likely be a shorter series starting in the Fall and its focus is on helping our daughters navigate life by parenting them from the strong woman we desire to be and not the wounded girl we may have been. So if you have a daughter, make sure to tune in! Let's go to the show!

Welcome back to Cultivating Your Village, today is part 5 and we will be discussing on this episode what is it that motivates us in our desire to feel connected to those around us? Do you guys ever feel lonely, esp. when you have been on media of some sort for too long? Are you guys finding yourself exhausted? Could it be that you are spending to much time online and its leaving you lonely and exhausted?

We are tired, because we are consuming so much that we can't handle it or process it.  We get sucked into social media thinking it will only be 15 minutes and then 2 hours later we find ourselves frustrated that we just spent all that time online.  Are you finding its too easy to get sucked into the online world and its leaving you exhausted because you are not having enough time to do what you really want to do or need too?

We hope this inspires you to step away from your devices and spend more time with friends and family offline!

Welcome back to Cultivating Your Village, today is part 4 and we will be discussing on this episode: "When are we establishing our boundaries?" How do you figure out what your boundaries are, are you being close enough with your village but also knowing what your boundaries are?  When you establish your own boundaries people in your inner core will respect you for that, and if they don't then you might want to reconsider your village because you will always disappoint them if you don't set boundaries.  We have to be very conscious about our decisions we make.

Welcome back to Cultivating Your Village, today is part 3 and we will be discussing on this episode where we schedule our time. We need to remember that we need to give time to our family since they are our first village and sometimes our marriage and kids can be put on the back burner even if we are doing what we think is best for them. What I mean by that is we can be running around town taking the kids to sports and activities but are we really being intentional with them? As great as it is to provide opportunities for our children are we taking the time to get to know them and shape them? Are we spending time with our our spouse and nurturing that relationship or are you finding that you are like two ships passing in the night? Our families are the closet village that we should have and that means taking inventory in how much time you are giving them and making sure its intentional.

This is also why its so important to pick your village wisely because it won't just be your village but it will also be your husband's village and your kid's village and we really want to have amazing influences in our village. It's so important that we choose people that can all lift one another up and set great example for our kids to see how relationships should look like so that it sets them up later in life to create their own village. We hope this episode leaves you inspired to really take stock into who your friends are, how they influence your family and do they pull you up or do they pull you down?

Hey you guys I hope you really enjoyed last week's episode part 1 of Cultivating Your Village. If you did miss it, then make sure to go back to episode 36 to check out part 1.

Moving onto today's episode we talk about our expectations and how unmet expectations can kill a relationship. I don't know about you but I definitely have seen this happen where someone is thinking one way and another person is thinking another way and it's not matching up and they both really care for one another but the relationship ends. I think all too often it's easy to think someone thinks like you and if they do something that you wouldn't do then you  internalize that they don't like you.  You have to realize that we all grew up in different families and we have different ways of showing love and you just have to figure out from the beginning what the expectations are for that relationship so that you're on the same page.

Hey you guys I am so excited to be introducing to you our new summer series called Cultivating Your Village.  It's a six week summer series and today Melissa and I  are going to be talking about "who is your village?" This is where we dive into finding the right people because we all know that "you are, who you hang out with." I would highly encourage you to let your friends know about this and have them listen to this as well and come back together after the end of the series and talk about it with them.  If you are still searching for your village I hope this inspires you to take that first step and reaching out to women in your area.

Hey you guys if are you wanting to hear someone share their story, and be super transparent about their weight, their fitness journey and what they eat to get there, then you will love this episode with Kacey Luvi. Kacey is so sweet and an open book that I think you will really love her by the end of this.  I will also add, that her eating plan sometimes includes doughnuts and she is the fittest she has ever been and this is after having 2 kids. If you thought starving yourself and cutting out all carbs will get you to your goals you might want to re-evaluate your plan.  We also talk about how Kacey studied social work in college, and went to get her Masters in Social Work of Clinical Therapy with an emphasis of eating disorders treatment. We also chat about how to talk to our girls about food in order to help them avoid eating disorders down the road. My goal with this episode is to give you a different view in regards to getting fit. I realize not every plan out there works for everyone but sometimes I think a lot of women think they have to starve themselves in order to be in the best shape of their lives and Kacey is here to prove that just isn't the case.

This week's topic is going to make you really excited or really nervous. We have Megan from the Birds & the Bees on today. We talk about when is the best time to talk to your kids about sex, and what kind of message do you want to have around sex. Megan hopes to leave parents more confident and less overwhelmed to talk about sex with their kids. Also how to ease into this subject and not just dropping the bomb on them at age 12 or 13 when they have already heard about sex through their friends, online or TV.  She emphasizes that they need to hear our voice, and that we  speak into our kids lives.

I really hope that the show leaves you inspired and encouraged to be able to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees.

Hey friends I'm so excited for this next episode. We had so much fun talking I decided to break it into two episodes. This week we're going to focus on Susanne opening up her barre studio and how at first she thought that barre was a pansy workout but now feels like it's such an important part of her life. We talk about what barre looks like, who it's for and why it's such an important type of workout for anyone. We discuss what it was like opening up a business while having 4 kids and how much work there was behind the scenes. She also shares with us how hard it was to get this up and running and how at times there were so many challenges she thought that this may not actually happen.

www.RealPlans.com Protein powder mentioned - Paleo Pro Green bean casserole recipe - dairy, soy, corn, grain free (recipe below)

Doni Rivers Green bean casserole - dairy, soy, corn, grain free Ingredients

Onion Topping 2-3 medium onions, very thinly sliced 2 eggs 3 tablespoons of canned coconut milk 2-3 tablespoons of coconut flour ½ cup coconut oil 

Beans

2 quarts water 1 tablespoon table salt 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces OR 2 12-ounce packages frozen cut green beans (thawed)

Sauce

10 ounces mushrooms  3 cloves garlic, minced Salt to taste 2 tablespoons coconut flour 3/4 cup vegetable broth (I used Imagine's No-Chicken) 3/4 cup canned (full fat) coconut milk

Onion topping instructions: 

Thinly slice all the onions, separate, and put in medium bowl. Add the two eggs and the coconut milk and mix well until evenly incorporated. Add coconut flour and mix by hand until evenly coated (note:may use slightly more or less depending on your brand of coconut flour.) Put coconut oil in large skillet and turn on medium high heat. When hot, add the coated onions and evenly brown, turning occasionally. When browned, remove from heat and set aside.

Instructions

Beans: Bring the water to boil in a large pot. While it’s heating, cut up the beans. Add the salt and beans to the boiling water. Cover and cook for 6 minutes. Drain beans in a colander, and then spray for a minute with cold water to stop the cooking. Let them drain in the colander, shaking every now and then to get off all the water. IF USING FROZEN, you do not have to boil, just make sure they are thawed.  Sauce: Trim and discard the mushroom stems and chop the mushrooms into pieces. Coat pan with coconut oil and heat it. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and salt. Cook until mushrooms are very soft and exude their juices. Whisk the flour into the vegetable broth and add to the mushrooms. Simmer, stirring, until mixture thickens. Add the coconut milk and simmer until thick, about 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the beans. To assemble: Put the green beans into an oiled casserole dish and top with the onions. Bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes. If you are not serving this right away, refrigerate the topping separately; bring to room temperature before sprinkling the topping on the casserole and baking for about 20 minutes or until hot throughout.

Kelly Smotherman is a Disney Travel specialist, and you may be thinking "What in the world is that?" Well, what that is, is someone who plans your Disney Vacations.

If you are like a lot of people, it is so overwhelming to figure out how to go about planning a Disney vacation, and some people really don't like doing it... and this is where she comes in. The best part of it, is that she is free... you do not pay one dime to her, which I think is absolutely awesome.

We go over Disney hotels, the pros and the cons of each, the price break-downs. We also talk about meal plans and how they can save families money. I feel like a lot of people think that Disney is not attainable, that it's going to break the bank, and its just something that you can't do. I really wanted to have her on the show and figure out what could families do if they are on a budget, and what hotels they would need to look into and all the other things that come in handy when planning a Disney vacation.

I hope you guys enjoy this! Let's get to the show!
