Momtabulous – Details, episodes & analysis

As a Mom, how do you celebrate your birthday? How does it differ from when you were in your 20's? I recently clebrated the 27th anniversary of my 21's birthday and it was full of appointments and meetings and mom life things. We may not party like it's 1999 anymore, but we can still have a great day even in the chaos of motherhood - laughing together at the insanity!

Can the internet lay off a 10 year old please? 

As a youth theatre director and choreographer, I have a lot to say about North West's performance over the weekend in the Lion King. And it's not what you think it will be! (I refuse to bash a child so this really isn't about her at all.)

And how does what I say apply to general non-bajillionaire moms? Listen in and I'll explain it!

Today I speak with the amazing Amy Owen, doula and pre/postnatal fitness expert. We talk about the ways your body changes, diastasis recti (and what that is!), how to prep your body for labor, how to heal after, and how to find the right trainer if you want one to help you. 

A great episode whether you're having your first baby, or are years out from having kids!

Join me and Jolie Downs - host of the Thriving After 40 podcast, and author of the book of the same title - as we talk about the challenges of raising teens (she has 2 boys, and I have 2 girls), and the life hacks she says saved her relationships with her boys as well as with her husband. You will want them to pull a 'tude just so you can try these hacks out - well, almost!

Having a child struggling in school, or just to get to school is challenging. Advocating for them can be an easy process, or it can be absolutely maddening. And don't get us started on all the acronyms! Lisa Baskin-Wright turned her struggles in going through the IEP process with her own child into a business where she advocates for the child alongside the parents. She explains the process, the acronyms, how to advocate for your child, and how to know when to call in the experts. So much great info we put it this into 2 episodes! Part 1 of 2

Will my house ever stay clean and organized? Why does mom have to do everything? Why is getting my teen to help harder than getting a toddler to help? And how many sauce bowls do you really need when making wings?

I talk with Unison Frances, ex-middle school music teacher turned CEO of Go Goddess Organizing. She shares with us how she cracked the code on getting kids - yes, even the toddlers and the teens - to help out around the house, what they can actually do, and how to make it fun so it sticks so you can truly live momtabulously.

How do you teach a child to set boundaries? Do they know what the word even means?

In this short and to-the-point episode, I explore how to help your kids set boundaries to help them navigate toxic situations in life as they grow and learn about relationships. Sharing some of my own personal story growing up, as well as in motherhood, I share the ways I have taught my kids to be strong and convicted in their boundaries, and the number one way I believe we can teach our kids to find where that line is for them, and how to voice it in a powerful and confident way.

Today I'm with the amazing Nancy Linnerooth who shares with us what EFT tapping is (I love it too!) and how it helps working moms break through the glass ceiling in their mind to reduce stress and finally let go of all the beliefs we hold that are holding us back - for good, even if they've been around for decades. Bonus - it's easy, fast, and you can do it in public and no one will even know - think Keigel for your mind!
