Hey, I'm Lesley. I am a biblically grounded mom of two boys who was stuck in a season of life that left me exhausted, overstimulated and at my capacity. I was just trying to make it through each day, reacting instead of responding to my boys during times of heightened emotions or triggering circumstances. I realized I did not want to dwell in the missteps of motherhood but instead I wanted to cultivate healthier habits. That’s when I discovered balance by regulating my nervous system. With practices for emotional regulation, practical shifts to increase mindfulness, and creating space for conscious rest, all with a biblical perspective I am now the intentional mother I desired to be. On the podcast we are going to talk about all things in motherhood, how to find balance by focusing on your well being and how to feel grounded mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone! Motherhood is a learning experience that I would be honored to walk with you in.

| Learning How To Create Authentic Joy Through Motherhood-Solo Episode Raw & Unedited | 28 mai 2024 | 00:33:58 | |
I recently attended a podcasting summit in LA called Her Turn To Podcast lead by the wonderful Cathy Heller. I had gained so many amazing takeaways from this summit and I do talk about some of them here on this episode. This episode looks a little different from some of my other episodes. I created this episode off the cusp and in live-time outside in nature while on a hike, with my two under two and my THREE dogs. Call me crazy (at least I felt like I was crazy at the time) but I’m glad I showed up and did it anyway… the hike and recording the episode. This episode talks about how to create joy for yourself in motherhood. Sometime the focus gets prioritized on the kids and you find yourself asking “what do I even like?” or “what makes me happy?”, In this episode I discuss truly what brings me joy and how to still show up authentically for myself during the early seasons of motherhood. I explained that motherhood is not who I am but a part of me as a person and it is okay to prioritize what lights you up during this season. I started this podcast to bring me joy, to connect in community with other women, and to share their stories of courage, now it is time for me to shed some light on mine in this episode. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it for you. I am proud to show up messy and unedited. There are some parts that are hard to hear but I reiterated those moments in the very long intro…. A few takeaways from this episode:
