Do you ever feel inadequate to train your kids spiritually? Maybe you feel uncomfortable asking them deep questions? Is it difficult knowing where to start to encourage your kids in their faith? It can be hard to model our faith to our kids, and so many of us may feel inadequate, uncomfortable, and overwhelmed. I am so excited to introduce you to Beth Meverden. Beth Meverden has been ministering to children, teens, and their parents for over 25 years. She has authored numerous resources, articles, and teaching curricula for parents, youth, and children’s ministry, including her book, Church(ing) Kids: 4 Keys to Keeping Your Children Engaged in Church. Beth and her amazing husband live in Colorado and have one daughter and two sons. Beth has such a heart for kids, especially teens to know what they believe and why. Pull up a chair and grab your coffee as Beth and I talk about how to encourage your kids in their spiritual journey, practical steps you can take as a busy mom, and the importance of your daily habit.

As busy moms we so often put ourselves at the bottom of the list. We are so busy managing our home, shuttling kids, figuring out logistics, finishing projects, that we just don’t have the time or bandwidth to manage our health and our needs. There is a better way my friends, and that is exactly why I wanted to introduce you to our guest, Barbara Kris. Barbara and I connected when we both spoke at the Busy Mom’s Blueprint Summit in the spring. Barbara Kris is a speaker, certified wellness coach, and founder of the Reset Method, a holistic approach designed to help busy moms over 40 lose weight, reclaim their energy, and feel confident in their skin again. With a passion for simplifying health in the midst of chaos, Barbara empowers women to break free from fad diets, hormone confusion, and all-or-nothing mindsets. Drawing from her own journey and years of coaching experience, Barbara equips her clients with realistic, sustainable strategies that fit into full schedules and real life. Whether on stage or online, her message is clear: it’s never too late to feel strong, energized, and in control of your health. Pull up a chair and grab your coffee as Barbara and I talk about how moms can avoid burnout, signs of burnout, and practical steps you can take if you are feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and just don’t know what to do

Are you feeling frustrated, sleep deprived, and at the end of your rope? I am so excited to introduce you to Sue Mcglinchey! Sue and I connected when we both spoke at the Busy Mom’s Blueprint Summit in the spring. Sue is a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist. And founder of Tender Care Newborn Services & Sleep Training with Tender Care. She serves families both nationally and internationally through her virtual services.

Sue sets families up for sleep success by providing parents with the tools they need to help their children learn to sleep reliably and peacefully through the night. Pull up a chair and grab your coffee as Sue and I talk about sleep training, and the keys to getting your little one to sleep through the night!

How is your school year going? Is your calendar exploding? Mine is. As moms we are constantly bombarded with tasks, activities, to-do’s, and decisions. Combined with the constant demand of kids, managing the house, social media, email and driving in traffic it’s no wonder that we are feeling overwhelmed and everything feels like too much. Clutter and chaos can drain our mental energy more than we think and leave us drained before we even start all the tasks on our to-do list. So what do we do when life feels like too much? In today’s episode we will touch on why we feel overwhelmed, some strategies on how to deal with days when we feel overwhelmed, and what mindset shifts we can make to feel a bit lighter and more at peace. So grab your favorite beverage and let’s get started.

It’s officially fall now. Kids are in school, leaves are changing colors, fall decorations are out, pumpkin spice latte’s are back, and we can’t wait for it to be full on sweater weather. Now that our days are full, work projects have ramped up, our calendar has exploded with events, and we shuttle kids like an unpaid uber driver. You may be wondering where your time goes. How do you actually get stuff done while balancing work, home, family and all the things? One of the tricks I teach my clients is, when to do specific tasks throughout your day. How to be productive in your day without feeling the need to be busy all day long and exhausted. Today we are diving into exactly how to structure your day and map out your tasks, so you feel accomplished at the end of the day instead of just exhausted.

How is your transition from summer to school going? Did you get a chance to jump into our Back 2 Basics School Challenge? Hopefully you did and were able to get a few steps ahead of the freight train that is school. If not, go back and check out those bonus episodes with our guests to make the transition to school a bit easier. Today we are diving into something really special. If you’ve ever felt like you’re barely holding it all together, like you’re constantly playing catch-up with your time, your to-do list, and your kid’s needs, like you have zero margin ....you’re not alone. Been there, done that…in fact, I think every mom almost daily feels like they are just in survival mode, overwhelmed, and barely holding it all together. So today I’m sharing the inside scoop on what happened when a group of amazing moms said yes to something different—and how just a few weeks later, they went from chaos to clarity. From burned out and reactive to peaceful, confident, and even excited to plan their weeks. So if you’re craving more margin, more clarity, and more calm—especially in this back-to-school season—this one’s for you. Grab your drink of choice and let’s get started.
