Thu, 07 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Are you unsure of how to help your child cope with BIG emotions? At times do you feeling like you're failing at parenting? In this week's episode, Kim Feeney, a licensed independent social worker and a registered play therapist supervisor stops by to give us sage advice on how to help our kids emotionally regulate by becoming their emotion coach.

Kim Feeney is the host of Butterfly Beginnings Counseling YouTube channel where she educates parents and other play therapists on how to understand the motivation behind a child's behavior.

Today on the show, Kim and I chat about:

what emotional regulation is and what the benefits are to helping children to emotionally regulate,
why play therapy is a great way to engage kids to behave and model a healthy expression of feelings,
the varying states of arousal- how to identify them and how to help our kids move through varying levels of arousal to achieve a calm and collected state and
Kim gives us a framework on how to emotionally coach our children from tantrum to calm.

Growing in Resilience Part 2

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Last week on Epsiode 56, I started to explore how to grow in resilience and today I’m continuing last week’s conversation with 8 juicy examples of how you can grow your own emotional fortitude reserves.

What I love about these suggestions the most? Aside from helping you to grow in resilience, they are essentially practices that are well worth your time, any way. It’s amazing to me how having high serving practices in place enrich your life and mutually support each other.

>>> If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, yet I encourage you stop what you’re doing and listen to it first and then circle around back to this one. It will just make more sense to you that way.

Here are the 8 ways to grow in resilience discussed in today's episode:

Adopt a religious or spiritual practice.
Be that social butterfly more often.
Become a lifelong learner.
Tap into your physical fitness.
Be present, not distracted.
Practice Gratitude.
Don’t be a cavewoman when it comes to your cognitive and emotional flexibility.
Find your true purpose and calling in life.

The Weekly Journal Prompt of the Week is BACK! Make sure to take some time to reflect and journal on this:

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LIKE THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T?

Growing in Resilience Part 1

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 11:00:00 -0400

I originally wanted to talk about Growing in resilience a year ago when we were already a few months into the world falling flat on its face. Fast forward one and half years later and we’re still on shaky ground. I want to hold space for those of you who are feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders.

It's been a tough time with a lot of heartbreaks, and a lot of global suffering. It takes courage and grit to wake up and still keep moving one foot in front of the other towards your dreams. Having emotional fortitude and growing in resilience can help.

Today’s episode is all about resilience and offering practical tips and perspectives on how you can build upon your own reservoir. In fact, there are many things you can do to actively grow in resilience that there’ll be two episodes to cover it.

GROWING IN RESILIENCE PART 1
Specifically, this episode will cover 3 ways you can grow in resilience. Those ways are rooted in:

realistic optimism,
facing your fears and
following a moral compass.

>>> My aim is to help you to release some of the overwhelm that you may be experiencing by giving you tools for your wellness toolbox.

Harmonizing your divine energy with Nadi Shodhana

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 12:00:00 -0400

Breathing in a purposeful way does more than just fill your lungs with fresh air. It can reduce overwhelm by calming your nervous system down as well as harmonize your divine masculine and feminine energies.

Nadi Shodhana is a simple breathing practice you can adopt to help attract more balance and alignment into your daily life.

Nadi Shodhana is a pranayama (controlled breathing technique) that harmonizes our divine energies by alternating inhaling and exhaling through each nostril.

This is a bonus training to accompany my "What's your divine energy mix? Quiz.

Your Divine Energy Mix is your personalized mix of both Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine Energies. It is a reflection of your own unique tendencies, behaviors and way of thinking. It’s your energetic secret sauce!

While many would say the ideal is to have both equal parts Divine Masculine with Divine Feminine, most of us fall within different areas of the divine energy spectrum.

Once you know your divine energy mix you can unlock your Muse Method which is your perfect self care ritual and wellness pathway. Understanding your own muse method is like having an internal compass to guide you towards your greatest potential. Do you naturally flow with more feminine energy? Or does a higher level of masculine energy propel you into action?

Should you exercise during your period?

Thu, 22 Jul 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Friend, should you exercise during your period? I know it’s tempting to push yourself and ignore how your body feels. BUT, is that really in your best interest?

Diet culture encourages us to workout as intensely as possible so that we can rev up our metabolism. And it also shames us when we can’t keep up. It's easy to feel defeated when you're body can't keep up with these rigid expectations.

Your body is working extra hard during menstruation. When we consider that exercise places added stress on your body, that means exercising during your period really taxes your system.

So should you rest during your bleed? Maybe. Tune in to find out more!

It's no secret. When you're constantly on the go and busy doing things, eventually you're gonna feel burnt out from running yourself ragged.

The truth is busy is NOT a badge of honor. A lengthy to-do list doesn’t necessarily bring us more joy. Sure we accomplish more, but at the cost of what? Not being able to sleep at night from an overactive mind?

Today's episode is all about teaching you 6 easy ways to slow down to speed up in the work space and at home.

PLUS: I'm excited to share The Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast is getting a format makeover! Here are the fun deets:

We're playing with a new segmented format to keep things fun and refreshing! Specifically,
each show will have three segments.

From Kitchen Anxiety to Cooking Confidence

Thu, 27 May 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Is cooking a source of stress or delight for you? Does the idea of cooking give you the freak out?

Whatever your source of kitchen anxiety is, in today’s episode I’m going to give you some food for thought as well as fun and practical ways to overcome your kitchen anxiety- all to help you to become more kitchen confident.

Do you get stressed out because you can't cook without a recipe? Do you despise cooking when it feels like a duty? Are you uninspired due to dietary restrictions that that the happy out of the meal?

I find that a lot of the stress that we feel with cooking and kitchen anxiety is due to this idea that you’re somehow less than because you don’t know how to cook.

Here’s the truth. Cooking is a skill, not a talent. That means you can learn it. Don’t let a hangup of not knowing something stop you from feeling worthy or less than.

You’re not less of a person because you don’t prepare home cooked meals every night. Or because you burn your pancakes, leave the veggies to roast too long in the oven or forget to season your dinner and it tastes flavorless. #guilty

In this week's episode we cover:

How your childhood experiences influence your present day cooking behaviors,
the most important questions to ask your self to raise your cooking confidence,
What your emotional resistance to cooking is really indicative of,
Practical tips to turn your kitchen into a happy place, and
Why creating a cooking ritual is a great way to ease into cooking! (even on a work night)

Happy Earth Day, friend! When you commit to taking Imperfect Eco-friendly action learning how to give back to Mother Earth doesn't seem so challenging.

I'm super thrilled to share with you a recent conversation I had with my friend Kathy Jenling Yen on how easy (and important) it is to do something good for the environment. The best part about it? It doesn't take a lot to make an impact. All you have to do is start.

She’s on a mission to bring awareness of the environmental challenges we are facing today, and trying to do her part in making Mother Earth healthier for our kids and the future generation. In her spare time she loves to immerse herself in a variety of interests whether it's playing the piano or training for a marathon.

What I love most about Kathy is her quiet strength. She proves to me that you don't have to be the loudest person in the group to make a difference. Making an eco friendly difference can be as easy as carrying a reusable bag in your purse or keeping a reusable cup in your car.

In this episode, Kathy shares how easy it is to take imperfect eco friendly action with tips that you can start putting into practice today. We also talk about our favorite quotes, recycling misconceptions and how being eco friendly can be cost effective and healthier for you and your family.

Embracing Spiritual Wellness with Nhu-Mai Simon

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome to Episode 36 of the Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast: Embracing Spiritual Wellness with Nhu-Mai Simon!

How comfortable are you with talking about spirituality? Are you curious about embracing spiritual wellness?

Spirituality is one of those topics that causes your emotions to stir. I’ve met people who embrace this type of discussion and I’ve also met people who get visibly uncomfortable and even upset with the mere mention of spirituality and or being spiritual.

Recently, I’ve become more open about embracing my spiritual journey. While I feel that it has helped me to expand my views and perspective and I feel more connected to spirit, I’ve also taken some of the heat that comes along with being open about this.

While I fully respect everyone’s right to believe what they believe, I know that for me having a holistic approach to my spiritual needs has helped me to feel more connected and more wholehearted. I know that I am part of something greater, something bigger than myself. Embracing spiritual wellness has shaped the way I view human existence, the way I view my purpose and my personal values.

If embracing spiritual wellness is something that you are curious about or something that you want to further embrace you are going to love today’s guest, Nhu- Mai Simon.

Nhu-Mai Simon is a Mom, Teacher, Mentor, intuitive Reader and Yogini. She has been teaching for over 10 years in the US and internationally. She is passionate about guiding others in recognizing their true nature and potential so they may live their best lives. She teaches spiritual practices and guides her clients through intuitive reading and healing sessions. She also loves being a student of yoga. An interesting fact about her is that her oldest son was born in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

You can follow Nhu-Mai on Instagram at: @empath_mentor_love where she hosts ORACLE TUESDAYS @ 11 A.M. MST - a live session where she pulls messages from her oracle card readings. Don't miss it!

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 15:00:00 -0400

Welcome to the Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast Episode 35: The Right time to do self care is NOW!

You might be thinking, "Self care?! What's the big deal?" Self care isn't a new topic by any stretch of the imagination. Just flip any magazine or scroll through your social media channels. Everybody is talking about it.

How often do you actually do self care for yourself? Is it part of your routine or is it something that you feel is nice to do when you get around to do it?

In this episode I explore what self care really is a reflection of and how it can be the bravest thing you can do to preserve your self esteem and self confidence. Especially when life throws you a curveball. or two.

Self care can take many forms and it really is more than pampering yourself at the salon. By the way, if that's your favorite way to invest in yourself there's nothing wrong with it.

Make sure to listen to more about what self care really is- an act of self love.

Welcome to the Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast Episode 34: Honoring Your Personal Journey.

Honoring your personal journey- what does that mean exactly?

This episode was inspired by my recently adopted journaling practice. I started to reflect on how I got to being "me" at this moment in time.

What a great trip down memory lane that was! Beyond the past events and past experiences that framed my journal entry, I started to reflect on key things to nurture your appreciation of add to your individual journey.

Some things that came to mind:

Acceptance
Non-judgment
Being Present Day Focused
Respecting the time of your calling to self-reflect
Using your feelings as a guide and
Embracing fear.

This episode also explores the belief that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. I share with you my thoughts on what it means to be a human and how your human "beingness" helps your soul to stretch and grow.

If you'd love to learn how practicing self-awareness can honor your spiritual journey, this is the episode for you!

Navigating Through Change is Messy

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Welcome to the Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast Episode 32: Navigating Through Change is Messy.

In this week's episode I open up about why I took an unexplained temporary leave from creating weekly episodes. As you can guess by the title, I decided to take a break to take care of my own needs during this time of significant personal change.

Even though, this show is all about keeping a positive and upbeat tone, life isn't always so rosy. Sometimes you just have to tap out for a minute to catch your breath from trying to juggle it all.

In this episode, I share my heart with you and allow myself to get more vulnerable than usual to let you know that if you're going through a tough time yourself, you don't have to do it alone.

Warning: If you're looking to listen for my top tips on how to navigate change, you may be disappointed. I am by no means an expert in navigating change. It's my personal belief, that people go through change in their own way. There's no right way to do it other than to go through it. But in the off chance that you're looking for a little more human connection, your ears will have come to the right place.

New year, new mindset. This week's episode is all about the 4 self limiting beliefs you need to let go of right now.

The 4 Self Limiting Beliefs are:

Self limiting belief #1: I don’t have what it takes to succeed.

Self Limiting belief #2: If I can’t be the best, I don’t want to even try.

Self limiting belief #3: I must be in control at all times.

Self Limiting Belief #4: I don’t deserve to put myself first.

Intentional Living for 2021 and Beyond!

Thu, 31 Dec 2020 05:00:00 -0500

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast: Intentional Living for 2021 and Beyond!

In today’s episode we’re talking about setting intentions for the next 12 months. I recognize that just because 2020 comes to an end tonight, that doesn’t mean that all the heaviness of this year disappears along with it into thin air.

What saying farewell to 2020 does signify is recognition of our ability to live through a very challenging moment and to hopefully walk a path that is more appreciative, more mindful and more intentional.

When a new year rolls around, we naturally start talking about resolutions. We start talking about the change we want to make. Many of us are hopeful that voicing these new goals is enough to create and stimulate change. But we know that this by itself, is not true.

Setting goals is the first step, but if you don’t know how to stoke that flame that is your goals, you’re not going to get very far. Beyond resolutions, you need a plan. Intentional living offers just that.

Welcome to The Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast Episode 27: 5 Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude!

Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for joining me today on this beautiful day of Thanksgiving. If you’re listening to me today in the United States, I’m especially grateful for your support and your kind attention.

I simply love Thanksgiving. As an adult, it’s easily been my favorite holiday for the longest time because nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by the people that I love. Celebrating the gift that is our company and the ability to gather around a bountiful meal is really one of life’s greatest pleasures.

And I know that this year, your Thanksgiving celebration may look very different given the circumstances that we are dealing with globally. You may be coming to the table with sadness in your heart, anxious thoughts fueled by uncertainty and maybe even a feeling of disconnect. This is particularly true if this has been a rough year for you and your family. While I’m certainly not trying to minimize any difficult feelings that you may still be processing, today I want to focus on possibility and opportunity.

You see, as easy as it is to dwell on all the hardships and the unexpected events that have shaped this year, it is just as possible to see the growth, the opportunity, and the added clarity.

Join me today to learn 5 Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude. You will thank me for it!

Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Positivity?

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome to The Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast Episode 23: Is There Such a Thing As Too Much Positivity?

Is there such a thing as too much positivity? Can high doses of positivity be toxic? As an eternal optimist, my first response is to say, “No.”

I mean think about it. If you’ve ever spent any time with a pessimistic person, you can feel how draining their way of being is.

But is it possible to feel drained by too much positivity? Can excessive positivity be intoxicating?

In this episode we explore:

The key differences between the way optimists and pessimists think,
The upside and the downside to positivity,
What the mythological story of Daedalus and Icarus can teach us about toxic positivity,
Why I believe there is such a thing as too much positivity,
And how everyone can benefit from a healthy dose of positivity.

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 05:00:00 -0400

Likewise, it’s important to deem yourself worthy in order to benefit from positive relationships with others.

In this Episode we explore:

How Self Worth is different from self esteem,
A cultural framework for worth and why accepting this framework as truth sets us up for failure,
How our experiences can positively shape our self worth,
Three ways to positively nurture your self worth, and
How we can use compassion as a lens for building resiliency.

Racial Inequality and the Call for Social Justice

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 05:00:00 -0400

Episode 3: Racial Inequality and the Call for Social Justice.

Recent events have brought to light the lingering effects of systemic racism and racial inequality in this nation. Racial inequality is pervasive and has unfairly hindered people of color from being able to equally access the opportunities and privileges available in this country. This episode is a direct reflection of the sadness and guilt that I recently experienced once the full impact of this situation came to my immediate attention.

As a society we must do better. Taking time to pause and reflect is important. But we must also challenge our preconceived notions, our assumptions, and our ideas about racism. We must also critically think about what it means to be a racist and what it means to be an anti-racist.

The road to social justice for all starts by actively listening, being willing to be uncomfortable to allow for growth and education. I fully recognize that it's not my place to teach how to course correct. I'm by no means qualified on how to do that. But, I can encourage you to do the work to actively listen, support work by anti-racist educators and start the conversation with your children.

WHAT IS SOCIAL JUSTICE?

Social Justice is a concept of fair and just relations between the individual and society as measured by the distribution of wealth, opportunities and privileges within a society.

In this episode:

Learn why now is the time to actively listen to the voices of the Black Community and learn from their experiences.

Learn why it is dismissive to counter Black Lives Matter with All Lives Matter statements.

I offer you a framework of questions that you can ask yourself anytime you get triggered by ideas or comments that upset or make you feel defensive.

I explain my thoughts on why violence undermines the call for social justice.

Learn why thinking like a scientist can help you to make sense of conflicting messages.

HOW CAN I DO THE WORK?

This list is by no means exhaustive:

Support anti-racist educators by purchasing their products, courses, books and other education materials. You can also spread their message by helping them to gain exposure through social media outlets.

Learn the 5 components of work life balance.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD MORNING ROUTINE?

A morning routine is a series of daily habits that you purposely build into the start of your day so that you have more grace and ease. It puts you in the right frame of mind to better handle expected and unexpected events.

It's your “me” time. Nuff said.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

It's a process. Be gentle on yourself until you find your right blend.

Great mornings start the night before. Getting adequate sleep, planning the night before and making a list are all parts to morning routine success.

It respects your individuality.

Decide how much time you will spend to make this happen. Can you spend 60 minutes? Then work out how much time you'll have for each key area. Remember, each key area doesn't have to require an equal amount of time.

WHAT ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A MORNING ROUTINE?

It's not a hard and fast rule, but you can include self care, nourishment, spirituality, nature and productivity activities into your routine.
