• Grace Instead of Mom Guilt

  Mom Guilt. This is a real thing. A day doesn't go by that we don't experience this phsycological phenomenon.   All of the should have dones, could have dones, the mistakes we've made that we'd like to change. The times we did show up as our best, or show up at all. We all have an expectation of what a "good mom" looks like, and spend a lot of time feeling guilt for these expectations. These persistent feelings of guilt can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, or just a flat grumpy mom! And if they stay for long, can lead to bigger problems.  This stress we feel is very disregulating and puts us into a fight, flight, and freeze mode just perpetuating the cycle of self-deprecating thoughts and stress. But we don't have to stay here! The guilt we feel is because of the gap that we see in our mothering.   What if we replaced this gap with grace.  What if we offered it to other's but especially to ourselves!  In this podcast we talk abou grace and filling the gaps with grace! This mother's day and every day, lets add grace to our gaps! Listen In!

• Compensation

  These past few weeks I’ve been working on my golf game, again… it seems as if that is a never ending battle.  Once you get something going good, there’s another issue that arises. I have a golf coach who is amazing and so patient with me.  She came and we worked on a few things and when I went and played a few rounds, the things we worked on worked! I was hitting straighter and more consistently.  Then, something happened, and I started hit to the right. The far right.  Not just a little.  So our efforts with my last couple of lessons have been on correcting that.  Apparently I don’t roll my hands quick enough.  This is something that is going to take time, practice, and work to rewire my brain and muscle memory.  In the mean time, we made a few tweaks with my hands and my feet to compensate for this.  To make up for this challenge.   What is to compensate? This means to counteract something unpleasant or unwelcome by exerting an opposite force. To offset something. To compensate someone is to give someone something for their loss or suffering. Has there been a time you feel you’ve compensated for something or someone else has compensated you? In this podcast episode we will discuss compensation and the compensatory growth and blessings we recieve through our challenges, circumstances, and lives.   We will discuss the first step, always believing, that we will be compensated, and that things will be made right in the end!

• The Power of Pondering

  Have you ever considered adding pondering to your day-to-day? Pondering is a time to reflect, think, and meditate.   In our fast-paced, go go-go-go, hurried world, it seems counterintuitive to slow down, ponder, and reflect. Slow down to speed up? Yep! That's exactly right.   There is great power in pondering. And the benefits are pretty remarkable. Improved decision-making: Pondering allows for thoroughly weighing options and potential consequences, leading to more informed and rational decisions.  Deeper understanding: Pondering can reveal deeper insights and a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues by taking the time to consider a matter from multiple angles.  Increased self-awareness: Pondering can promote introspection and self-reflection, leading to a better understanding of one's own thoughts, feelings, and motivations.  Reduced impulse reactions: Pondering can help to slow down impulsive reactions and allow for a more thoughtful response in challenging situations.  Enhanced creativity: Pondering can spark creative thinking and lead to innovative solutions by exploring different possibilities and connections.  Greater appreciation: Pondering can deepen our appreciation for the world around us, fostering a sense of wonder and gratitude.  Improved memory: Pondering helps to consolidate information and make it more accessible for future recall.  Reduced stress: By allowing for a calm and thoughtful approach to situations, pondering can help to reduce stress and anxiety.  Spiritual growth: Pondering can be a way to connect with one's inner self and explore deeper spiritual questions.  A greater sense of purpose: Pondering life's meaning and purpose can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.  In this episode, we talk about pondering, its benefits, and give some suggestions on how to add this into your day! Give it a try!

• There Was a Queen Once

  There was a queen once.... Do we look in the mirror and see that we are the queens and kings? Do we see that? Or do we see the person that could be better, isn't good enough, has no value, talents, or worth? In this podcast we talk about an experience Megan had with a little girl who handed her a Burger King crown after a loss at a pageant.  This crown reminded us both, we are queens even withouth the "title."  Do we act that way? Do we see ourselves in a way that we put our best foot forward and connect, create, and spread light? Listen in as we talk more about this, how this mentality chages our behavior, and how even though we are royalty we are here to become "mountains" with unlimitted potential!

• Getting Answers to Opposing Ideas

  It seem’s like we can find conflicting information in everything.  Politics, for sure. Health, for sure. Parenting.  Education.  You name it.  So how in the world are we supposed to navigate all of that? How in the world are we to know who’s right and who’s wrong? It feels like we are in the weeds a lot of the time! Sorting and just looking for the “right” answer! One quote said, "I'm more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles!" We live in a world where we can have access to information anywhere, anytime, and on any topic! However, this can be troubling because there is just too much! For example, when I walk into a store with too many items, I get completely overwhelmed! In today's podcast,  we are going to discuss how to get answers when there are opposing ideas.   First, consider your source. Second, look for evidence. And Third, experiment. Listen in for more details to see if you can find some answers to your opposing ideas!   The Body Reset: How Women Should Eat & Exercise for Health, Fat Loss, & Energy | Dr. Stacy Sims
