Episode 106: The Matriarch Fires Her Inner Mean Girl

Audio and video going in Google Drive.

Social Caption:

Girl, it's time to FIRE your inner mean girl. 👏🏻💗

You know the one.

The voice that tells you you're behind. You're not doing enough. You should be further along. You messed up AGAIN.

The one who has something to say about your body, your choices, your relationships, your parenting, and pretty much everything else.

And here's the wild part…

You would NEVER let someone talk to a woman you love the way you talk to yourself.

So why are we letting her run the show?!

Matriarch, listen up.

You do not have to shame yourself into growth. You do not have to criticize yourself into consistency. And you certainly don't have to bully yourself into becoming the woman God created you to be.

Galatians 5:25 reminds us to keep in step with the Spirit.

And His fruit? Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. KINDNESS. GENTLENESS.

Not shame. Not condemnation. Not constant criticism.

Grace is not the opposite of growth. Grace is the beautiful place from which we get to grow. 🌷

On this week's episode of The Matriarch Mindset, we're handing that inner mean girl her pink slip and learning to lead ourselves with grace.

I'm not starting another diet.

I’m learning how to take care of myself for the rest of my life.

This week on The Matriarch Mindset, I’m chatting with my health coach, Jeni Coppage, about midlife health, weight loss, getting coached, and why I’m doing it VERY differently this time.

Less all-or-nothing.

Less hurry.

More support.

More grace.

More long game.

Because the Matriarch is done starting over. 💪🏼

🎧 New episode is live!

Want me to make it sassier/funnier too? I think we could have some fun with the “I have officially retired from starting over on Monday” angle.

I’m sharing the three things I’m working on for the last 90 days of the year—my health, my business, and apparently my ability to knit an entire sweater. 😂🧶

Do I know how to do that last one? Absolutely not.

Goal Setting Journaling Prompts:

1. Does this goal come from desire or demand? What would make me delighted to pursue it?

2. Would I still want to do this if nobody was impressed?

3. Will pursuing this goal require me to abandon myself—or become more myself?

4. Can I find enchantment in the process? What could make pursuing this feel beautiful, interesting, playful, meaningful, or fun?

What’s IN for the Matriarch right now—and what are we officially leaving behind?

Claire is back with me for a fun mother-daughter episode where we’re sharing our current Matriarch Ins & Outs. We’re talking everything from asking for what you need, letting people be disappointed, pausing before you respond, making decisions, carrying what’s actually yours, and enjoying the life you already have—with plenty of less-serious opinions mixed in too. 😂

Underneath all the fun is a bigger question: What are you intentionally bringing into this season of your life, and what are you finally ready to put down?

Because becoming the Matriarch isn’t always about adding more. Sometimes it’s about deciding what no longer gets your energy.

Journal It Out

• What is officially IN for me in this season?
• What am I ready to put firmly in the OUT column?
• What am I carrying right now that was never actually mine to carry?
• Where am I over-explaining, overthinking, or trying to manage someone else’s experience?
• What would I like to make more room for in my actual life?
• What is one old pattern I’m ready to stop practicing?
• What would the Matriarch choose here?

What’s IN? What’s OUT? You get to decide.

THE MATRIARCH LOVES HER WORK AND HER BUSINESS

What if marketing and selling aren’t the annoying parts of business you have to tolerate—but skills you can actually learn to love?

In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe one of the secrets to a profitable, sustainable business is learning to love the skills that allow you to keep serving. We’re talking marketing as adding value, selling as service, profit as stewardship, and why the Matriarch gets good at what her vision requires.

Journaling Prompts

1. What part of running my business have I decided I shouldn’t have to learn?
2. What thoughts do I currently have about marketing and selling? How are those thoughts affecting the way I show up?
3. What if becoming good at this is part of stewarding what I’m building?
4. What would change if I decided to learn to love marketing and selling instead of resisting them?
5. What skills does the business—and life—I’m building require me to develop?
6. Where am I waiting to feel confident before I’m willing to practice?
7. What would marketing look like if I believed it was simply adding value?
8. What would selling look like if I believed it was an invitation to deeper transformation?
9. Where am I getting graspy about an outcome instead of staying in service?
10. What is one skill my vision requires that I’m willing to practice getting better at right now?

The Matriarch gets good at what her vision requires.

What does the Matriarch Mindset actually look like in real life?

It looks a lot like my client Molly. ❤️

It looks like deciding to learn something new even when you don’t feel like you know what you’re doing yet.

It looks like entering a new season of life and asking, Who do I want to be here?

It looks like taking responsibility.

Learning new things.

Creating belonging.

Going first.

And sometimes it looks like asking one very simple question:

What would the matriarch do?

My client and friend, Molly Dixon, joined me on The Matriarch Mindset Podcast to talk about the ways this identity has begun shaping how she thinks, makes decisions, learns, leads, and shows up for the people she loves.

And I LOVE this conversation because Molly isn’t talking about becoming someone completely different.

She’s becoming more fully the woman God created her to be. 💗

This is the Matriarch Mindset in the wild.

Living your legacy out loud—right in the middle of your actual life.

EPISODE 100!!! 🎉❤️🩷

And with it…a brand new chapter.

The Journaling Room Podcast is becoming The Matriarch Mindset Podcast.

Journaling isn’t going anywhere. Neither is the faith, the thought work, the emotions, the practical tools or the conversations we’ve had here for the last 99 episodes.

But the vision has gotten bigger.

Because I want to talk about what it looks like to become a woman who leads herself well—her thoughts, her emotions, her decisions, her relationships, her work and the life God has given her to steward.

A woman who knows who she is. Who takes the next faithful step. Who steadies the room instead of being swept up by it. Who is intentionally building a life and legacy.

That’s the Matriarch Mindset.

And episode 100 is where we begin. 🎙️

Welcome to The Matriarch Mindset Podcast. ❤️🩷

Episode 99!! 🥹❤️

There’s something about standing right on the edge of what’s next.

You’re grateful for where you’ve been. You know you’re ready to move forward. And you can feel that little mix of excitement, nerves and okay God…here we go.

This episode is about that space.

The space between what was and what’s becoming.

Because growth doesn’t always mean leaving something behind.

Sometimes it means letting it become what it was always leading you toward.

🎙️ Episode 99 of The Journaling Room is out now.

One more episode.

And then…I finally get to tell you what’s next. 👀❤️🩷
