In today's episode, anxiety is peeled back to expose what it is, why we experience it and how to reduce its hold on us. As women and moms, anxiety can come up in various forms. Societal pressures to do all and be all can bring about anxious feelings. Often added to the mix are feelings of guilt. This is why learning to reduce its hold can help relieve stress, free up your mind and

Oct 17 2024 23 mins

In today's show, we dig into sleep deprivation and the impact this can have on your mental and physical well-being. The long-term effects are shocking. I've been experiencing some of the short-term effects of chronic sleep deprivation, and it's not pretty. This is why I wanted to bring awareness to such an important topic. During the episode, I talk about different sleep patterns,

036: Reducing Imposter Thoughts

Sep 26 2024 23 mins

In today's show we dive into a topic that affects the majority of the population, including yours truly. Imposter syndrome, or as I prefer to say imposter thoughts. Imposter thoughts are thoughts that regardless of your achievements, you think you are not good enough. Often you feel like a fraud and fear others might find out. Imposter thoughts will never disappear, but you can lea

Welcome to Season 3 of Mama Needs More! We're back with a new lineup of shows starting with today's episode on learning to set boundaries. This is such an important topic for overwhelmed moms.

034: Reparenting Your Inner Child

Jul 01 2024 20 mins

In today's episode, I dig into the topic of the inner child and how to reparent her. We all have an inner child. She doesn't live in the past. Many of the emotions you feel today as an adult – positive and negative – are what she felt and learned growing up. This means she is very present. It's the negative emotions I focus on in today's show. When you're triggered by your chil

Personally, I'm in denial but when you're a woman in your 40's perimenopause is a subject you want to know more about. Together, we talk abou

032: Screen Time, Mental Health & Learning

May 23 2024 26 mins

Today's episode takes a slightly different approach compared to my shows. This is because of the amount of information coming out about the negative impact screen time can have on our brains. And by our brains, I'm not just talking about the adult brain, but also our kids. Areas that are hit the most are important things like sleep, mental health, education, resilience, perseveranc

031: We're All a Work in Progress

May 09 2024 8 mins

In today's short and sweet episode, I discuss a quote I needed to hear to get me out of my head. Do you ever have this? You're watching TV or listening to music and you hear something that feels like it was meant specifically for you. This is exactly what I felt. In this case, it's about snapping at your kids, beating yourself up because you've been working so hard on yourself, and

030: Imperfect Parenting & Emotional Overwhelm

Apr 25 2024 26 mins

In today's episode, I talk about an experience where I quickly judged another parent. His daughter was feeling emotionally overwhelmed (a.k.a. having a temper tantrum) and oh, I had some judgment going on about his response. In the show, I explain the story and my realization at that moment that I am also an imperfect parent, which is ok. Perfection is not what we're aiming for as

029: Building Resilience

Apr 11 2024 21 mins

In today's episode, we're talking about all things resilience. It's a word that's used so often, yet at the same time, it's also underestimated. In the show, I get into the details of what it means to be resilient and how important it is to acknowledge your inner strength. Resilience is something you need to practice. It's not an overnight sensation and in this episode, I share way
