Hey Mama, 

The idea of resting in American culture is counter productive to the narrative that we must work harder to get what we want.  You may be saying, well that's because motherhood never stops- and while this is true in many aspects, the reality is that if we do not make time for rest, we will burn out, get sick, and remain stuck in fight or flight mode.

Join me today as I walk you through three simple ways to create time for...

Hey Mama, 

Do you ever bring a prayer request to the feet of Jesus, and then turn around and stress about whether or not it will happen, how it will happen, or when it will happen? As mothers, it is our second nature to plan and coordinate our lives and the lives of our families, so it’s no wonder we often struggle with relinquishing control.

I have good news, Mama. Jesus, the one who paid the price for it all, can handle whatever ...

Hey Mama, 

There may be many factors contributing to your stress as a busy mom such as your kids, work,  or your schedule.Each season of motherhood presents its own unique challenges. However, you may also be contributing to your stress. Instead of focusing on what you cannot control, I would encourage you to take a look at what you can control. 

Today I am going to walk you through four (4) habits that you may be doing that are ma...

Hey Mama, 

Are you an overstimulated mom who spins a ton of plates, tries to juggle all the things, and often fails to meet the expectations you have set for yourself?

There are moments when we feel the weight of all the pressure to get everything done,  to meet all the deadlines, and to remember all the things. We keep our household functioning, but sometimes we just hit a wall. 

In these times when we start to lose order and stru...

Hey Mama,

Do you feel exhausted during the day, wishing you had more energy? Are you suffering from mom-brain, with lack of focus and mental clarity? Do you find yourself easily agitated, or snapping at your husband and children?

If you are dealing with any of the above, then you may need to re-evaluate your sleep health and the way you manage your stress. You may be wondering, why should I care about how I manage my stress? Isn't...

Hey Mama, 

Are you aware of the hidden danger lurking behind the expectation of “doing it all” as a mom? I know you want to be able to check all the boxes- be a good wife, a good mom, have a clean home, work to contribute to the household, be chauffeur for your children’s sports activities, etc. 

While desiring to do these things is not necessarily a bad thing,  do you know that sleep deprivation can be just as harmful to your body...

Hey Mama, 

The battle with brain fog as a busy mom is undeniable. Do you feel that? The multiplicity of spinning so many plates, and the feeling that you are still forgetting something despite the numerous phone reminders or sticky notes.

As the keeper of all things for our households, we often want two things: clarity and peace. How do we achieve this?

Join me today as I walk you through  how you can prepare your body to battle t...

Hey Mama, 

Have you ever had a period of your life where you just can’t seem to shut your brain off? I am talking about when whatever trial or tribulation you are going through consumes your mental space and all you want is to feel peace. 

We tend to over think about things- okay, just about everything; kids, work, the house, relationships with husband  and other family members, scheduling, budget- all the things, because as a busy...

Hey Mama, 

Anxiety and stress in children is skyrocketing in our society today. With the overstimulation of modern technology and access to more information than we need, it can be hard to process through our emotions and feelings.

Unfortunately, society today celebrates the suppression and numbing of our feelings and emotions through non-stop dopamine hits of social media scrolling, nightly wine celebrations for surviving our chil...

Hey Mama, 

As a mom of two boys,I have come to experience that emotional melt downs can come and any age, in any stage.  Just like we get overstimulated or overwhelmed, so do our children. And while we try to navigate the various stages and versions of our children’s meltdowns, sometimes we just feel helpless.

But did you know there is something you can do to help your children manage their emotions?

Helping children manage and pr...

Hey Mama, 

As a mom of two boys who used essential oils during and after pregnancy, I am often asked if essential oils can be used for infants. The short answer is, YES! However, that yes comes with precautions.  Essential oils are powerful, so for tiny humans, this equals the need to adjust how we approach using essential oils with babies so that we can safely and effectively help support their little bodies.

Join me today, Mama, ...

Hey Mama, 

Do you become overwhelmed when life doesn’t go the way you expect it to? Maybe you have to deal with something unexpected when your plate is already full. It could be that your circumstances are spiraling out of your control despite your best efforts to plan and prepare. Sometimes the unexpected can lead to overwhelm, and additional anxiety about things we can no longer control.

What if I told you, that despite the brood...

Hey Mama, 

Have you been stressing about your postpartum journey, or know a Mama who is?

So much preparation goes into giving birth to your baby, but don’t make the mistake of not preparing for your postpartum journey also! From conception to birth, your body has done miraculous things. However, it is no surprise that your bundle of joy also comes with bodily discomfort for mom after birth.

Have no fear, Mama! You can manage your p...

Hey Mama, 

Did you know you can use essential oils to support your body during labor and delivery? I did it with two of my children! Both of my labor and deliveries were different for each child, and even though I did not know exactly what I was doing, I was able to better support my body and improve my experience using certified tested grade essential oils.

Listen in today as I break down what essential oils to use for each phase ...

Hey Mama, 

Expecting a child is an exciting time. We are eager to get everything ready for when the little one arrives. We document our moods, and cravings and scour the internet for the best deal on maternity clothes. But, in all the excitement, we as mamas and mamas often neglect one very important part of our pregnancy: how we are supporting our body during pregnancy. 

Listen in today as I share with you the number one thing eve...

Hey Mama, 

Pregnancy can be an exciting time for expecting Mamas. But for some, discomforts associated with pregnancy can certainly steal their enjoyment. Women who are pregnant are more sensitive to what they inhale, put on their skin or even take internally. Because of this, there are often very limited relief options for aches, pains, seasonal threats, sleep support and more.

Praise the Lord I was able to find safe, natural and ...

Hey Mama, 

Pregnancy is truly a unique time for every woman. Stomach discomfort, seasonal discomforts, pain, inflammation, and more often grace a woman as she grows a tiny human.  The discomforts we experience during child bearing are a result of the sin that entered the world. Thankfully, the Lord has provided incredible tools for us to use that are natural, safe, and effective. 

Listen in today to learn what every expecting Mom M...

Hey Mama, 

How do you handle your daily stress? Do you grab for junk food as a reward for surviving a stressful moment or day? Maybe you indulge in other forms of “junk” like dramatic television or social media scrolling. Whatever your quick fix, Mama, it never really seems to satisfy.

Our world is full of self help symposiums, encouraging us to take control of our situation and find our own solution. Unfortunately, much of life’s ...

Hey Mama, 

Do you want a better period? 

Maybe you experience varying mood swings or physical discomforts during certain times of the month. Some times of the month you may feel slower and more tired than usual. Other days, you feel focused and social, or maybe more confident and magnetic. These various phases of emotions often track alongside our month-long cycle. And yes, I did just say month-long, not week-long. 

If you are wher...
