Thanksgiving is just a couple weeks away!
It's so hard to believe that Thanksgiving will be here shortly. It's no doubt that the holidays will look different this year due to COVID. For those of us used to large family gatherings, the holidays will present a unique challenge. However, I encourage you to find creative ways to spend time with your family this holiday season.
With cases rising daily and states going back to stricter rules and restrictions, these holidays will be different from years past. No doubt many families will feel the impact and emotions will vary with many feeling they are missing out on family traditions.
However, this year I encourage you to think outside the box and figure out how to start new family traditions and make new memories. Take a listen to this episode to get some ideas on how you can be creative this holiday season.

The working mom and business owner life is hard! Managing your family, work and your dreams is not for the faint at heart. It can be exhausting, discouraging and sometimes lonely. However, the reward is often worth the sacrifice. When you get into a rhythm and find a way to feel fulfilled and content not only as a mother, but a woman also; that is a phenomenal feeling.
However, you can't build your dream off of someone else's blueprint. You have to find what works for you in life and go for it.
Today I sat down with Ingrid Read, Founder/CEO of Working MomKind to discuss life as a working mom as well as the reasons she started the Working MomKind community, not only for herself but moms just like her. Ingrid and I discussed the importance of documenting the motherhood experience, how empowering moms needs to be an everyday action as well as what it takes to thrive as a working mom.
In episode, Ingrid shares:
- Her struggles as a new mom
- How the motherhood role is constantly evolving
- How to find the help/support you need as a mother
- How navigate motherhood and a career
- The importance of finding your own lane in motherhood and life

When someone asks you, "What do you like to do?", what is your response? Do you find it hard to answer? Is it nearly impossible to think of something that you enjoy as a person? The answer is inside of you, you just have to sit back, remember who you are and then you will easily be able to answer that question.
In motherhood, we are always so worried about what everyone else loves and enjoys that we often forget about ourselves. However, today I challenge you to rethink the way you have been doing things and get back to the things you like to do. Whether it's an old hobby or a new skill, it is important to your self-care plan that you reconnect with your own wants, needs and desires.
Not sure where to start? My guest today, Toni-Ann from Real Happy Mom Blog & Podcast, is dishing out practical tips and advice to help you live your best life as not only a mother, but a woman as well. If you are stuck and want to get back to the person you were before you became a mom or before life got in the way then check out what Toni-Ann has to say about remembering who you are and loving the life you live.
In this episode, Toni-Ann shares:
- How she started her blog and podcast and how you can get started on your dreams as well
- The importance of routines and schedules in reducing overwhelm
- Why she now loves Mondays
- Why it is important to automate, delegate and eliminate things in your life
- The important role priorities, boundaries and preparation play in your daily life
Toni-Ann is a full-time dentist, a reservist in the Navy and the blogger and podcaster at Real Happy Mom. She is a wife and a boy mom that understands the struggle of juggling work and home. When she is not working, she enjoys watching WWE and watching stand up comedy.

“Do what you can on the days you can and on the days you can’t, don’t.”-LaWann
Whether you battle a chronic illness or are just simply overwhelmed by your busy life, today's message is for you. In spite of our best laid plains, sometimes life happens!
It's okay to take some time off to rest, but too often we don't give ourselves permission to do so.
However, what you will find is when you take the time to rest you will often get a fresh outlook on things and feel rejuvenated, refreshed and ready to take on your tasks and conquer your endless to-do's.
In all the hustle of everyday life, don’t forget the power of rest!
Take a listen to today's quick tip and share this episode with a mom who needs to hear this message!
