Ep. 42 – When The Kids Are Bored
Midway into the summer, the honeymoon is over.
Kids are getting bored, fights are breaking out, and summer is starting to feel LONG.
But contrary to what the kids think, the real problem is not the lack of things to do –what we need to solve for is imbalance…
…because, just like us, kids feel better when they are living an organized life, and that means striking the right balance of work and play.

Ep. 41 – When You Get Home From Vacation
Have you ever come home from vacation and faced such a mountain of catch-up, so much that the trip almost doesn’t seem worth it?

Ep. 40 – When You Need A Little Self Care
At the time this episode is posted, we find ourselves in the heart of a family season… which might mean that your reservoir of self-care is running pretty dry. The Chinese yin/yang symbol is a perfect metaphor for balance, teaching us that in the middle of one extreme we crave its opposite.

Ep. 35 – When You Need To Say No
Don’t you just hate that feeling that comes right after you say yes…when deep down you know you should have said no?

You already have a busy day ahead, and your sister asks you to watch her kids that afternoon.
It’s not that saying yes is bad, but…
Ep. 34 – When You Are A Mother
With Mother’s Day right around the corner it seems fitting that we reflect about motherhood.
Lots of emotion around this subject, for sure.
Motherhood is equal parts difficult and amazing, and it’s pretty easy to feel like you’re not doing it right.

It doesn’t look the way my mom did it…
Ep. 31 – When You Want To Feel More Control Over Your Life
Um….couldn’t EVERYONE use a little more control?!
With so much happening in our lives, getting more in control can sound like a fairy tale.
