  • In her book The Four Tendencies, author and podcaster Gretchen Rubin outlines her personality framework based upon how you respond to internal and external expectations.

    Today I dive a bit more into Rubin’s four tendencies and provide some additional recommendations on how to create a personalzed decluttering plan based upon your type! Resources Mentioned (affiliate links may be included):

  • Imagine this scene: You’re shopping in Target with one child pulling on your leg and the other grabbing random items off the shelves, wailing, “PLEEEEASE Mommy can I have this?” An elderly woman in the same aisle smiles at you and says, “You’re going to miss this, dear! The days are long but the years are short!”

    Or imagine that you buy a parenting book about a discipline approach that your sister-in-law raves about, but when you try it at home it just makes you feel uneasy. But it’s all you’re seeing on your Instagram ads and hearing about from your mom friends, so you decide just to push through, even though it’s making you miserable.

    Whether unrealistic expectations are placed on us by well-meaning people, or we place them on ourselves due to our own childhood experiences, it is something that constantly plagues us with self-doubt. Am I doing enough? Am I doing this right?

    On today’s episode, I’m talking with Danielle Bettmann, parenting coach at Parenting Wholeheartedly and the host of the Failing Motherhood Podcast, about how we can declutter these unrealistic expectations and have confidence in our parenting again.

    Danielle is a positive-Discipline certified parenting coach who empowers parents to crack the code of their strong-willed child's personality, meet their deepest core needs to improve their behavior, and find new levels of patience. An early childhood educator, certified teacher and home visitor, Danielle now equips parents from all over via Zoom!

    Instead of inadvertently inviting defiance by using traditional tools or playing "whack-a-mole" with short-sighted reactions, families get on the same page and learn how to cultivate cooperation while being KIND + FIRM at the same time! Host of the well-loved podcast, Failing Motherhood, she's passionate about eliminating shame from parents' vocabulary, reminding them they are the parent their kids need. She is also a mom to two daughters, wife of 15 years to her high-school sweetheart, and an avid fan of sunshine and coffee.

    Resources Mentioned:

    Connect with Danielle on her website, her podcast, and Instagram.

    I would highly recommend her FREE Calm + Confident masterclass where you’ll learn how to master the KIND + FIRM approach that your strong-willed child needs without crushing their spirit or walking on eggshells.

  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed, creating a “yes” list - a list of everything you’ve said yes to - is a powerful tool to help you understand why you’re saying yes, what needs to change, and how to get yourself out of chaos. My return guest, Jessica Jackson, has amazing insights to share on this important topic!

    Jessica is a homeschooling mother of four children, host of Thriving in Motherhood Podcast, creator of the Thriving in Motherhood Planner and Journal, and cheerleader in her program the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit. She knows what it is like to try and find peace and balance between running a business, a household, and creating a strong family culture while real life keeps happening.

    After years of struggle she realized there are simple, practical things she can do to stop in living survival mode no matter her circumstances and find meaning and joy in everyday life. Her mission is to empower women to go from surviving motherhood to soaring - using their unique gifts and talents, having a relationship with God, experiencing life as the grand adventure it is, and enjoying meaningful relationships with friends and family.

  • Sometimes when we are feeling overwhelmed, we have to ask ourselves some hard questions, like:

    “Am I causing my own chaos?”

    When we understand our non-negotiables and say yes to what aligns with our values rather than what we think others expect from us, we can enjoy contentment in our motherhood.

    In today’s episode I’m chatting with Andrea Dekker, a wife and mother of 4 young children who loves nothing more than being home!

    Andrea blogs at andreadekker.com, where she shares her passions for creating a peaceful home, pursuing a simpler + slower lifestyle, and encouraging women in all stages of life to lean into their values and live more intentionally.

    We chat about the transition to motherhood that caused her to feel overwhelmed, how she learned to start saying “no” and embrace her season of motherhood, and what back-to-school routines look like in her home!

  • When you think of the word “legacy”, what comes to mind?

    What we leave behind for the ones we love?

    What if I told you that the legacy we leave our kids is a result of our actions today?

    In this eye-opening conversation with Julie Redmond on the Mom Made Plans podcast, we discuss the unhealthy coping mechanisms (including scrolling) that I’ve used to deal with the stresses of motherhood, and how recognizing the legacy I wanted to leave has allowed me to shift my perspective. I also offer some tactical strategies on how to leave a legacy by how we live in the mundane moments of motherhood.

    Julie, a two-time guest on Moms Overcoming Overwhelm, is a twin mom and host of the Mom Made Plans podcast. She is on a mission to make mom-life feel easier by getting out of survival mode and into intentional motherhood. She fully believes no routine or system will work until you know how you work. That means using self awareness filled strategies to become more efficient and impactful in your home.

  • How does decluttering and organizing allow us to calm the overwhelm in our lives? In this interview on the Motherhood Restored Podcast, I chat with Natalie Hixson about the three causes of overwhelm, reducing decision fatigue, the power of saying NO and minding our “shoulds”, and much more!

    Natalie Hixson is a wife, mama to three, and Certified professional Christian life coach. She helps discouraged Christian moms overcome destructive anger and burnout.

    After learning to thrive in motherhood and process anger in a healthy way, Natalie became convicted to help other moms avoid those dark years of motherhood by helping them to appreciate and process their anger, learn to identify their triggers, and ultimately control their reaction to those triggering situations.

  • Are you overwhelmed by clutter? Overstimulated easily? Sensitive to noise, touch, caffeine, or sensory input in general? You may be a highly sensitive person, like me. Being an HSP has impacted my parenting in huge ways, including how I respond to sensory input, touch, and noise (hello, two boys!)

    In this interview on the Failing Motherhood Podcast, I talk about my struggles with anger in my early motherhood and how I was able to cope - by decluttering, simplifying, and also therapy, medication, mindfulness, and other strategies.

    If you struggle with anger in your motherhood or feel constantly overwhelmed, this episode is for you.

    Danielle Bettmann, the amazing host of Failing Motherhood, is a parenting coach for families with 1-10-year-old strong-willed kids. You can learn more about Danielle here.

  • In this episode “remix” I’m bringing you the best clips from my conversation with Lisa Lizotte from the Habits and Home Show all about why resets are the #1 habit to keep your home clutter-free.

    Lisa is a wife, mom of three and cheerleader for anyone wanting to simplify their life so that they can enjoy it more. Lisa first tried living as a minimalist but no matter how few possessions she owned, she still struggled to keep up with it all. Then she discovered the solution to the chaos was to simplify and systemize her home to support life-changing habits. Through this process, she’s been able to keep up with daily home management and be more mentally present with her family.

    📣 PODCAST UPDATE: I’m taking a break for the summer! You will see replays/interviews I’ve had on others’ shows on Thursdays from now until Thursday, August 15th. I will be back with all new episodes on Tuesday, August 20th! 📣
