This week's episode I show up as an advocate that you make a goal for yourself to become someone who values healthy-mindedness above all else. If you are a mom who doesn't quite believe in your own future because all signs from your past and current circumstances point to more of the same- discouragement, disappointment, disconnection, guilt, worry and overwhelm, I offer you to listen and become curious how this might change for you in a positive and profound way if you focused on growing your healthy-mindedness. A big part of this endeavor is to flex our faith muscles because when you are healthy-minded, you see that better things are yet to come even when no evidence is yet visible to confirm your expectation.

This episode topic was inspired from a reply one mom from my Facebook group gave me to the question- What is a current struggle you are facing in your mom life right now?" The answer was "steering my kids in the right direction." Since this isn't the first time I heard this struggle. In fact, it comes to me all the time in some form or fashion, for example, "I struggle with keeping my older children involved in the faith, or I struggle with getting my kids to not be influenced by their friends." Of course us moms want the best for our children, this is coming from love, however, without taking full responsibility for what is in our control, our actions can be manipulative instead of loving. What we truly have control over with our kids, is how we think, feel and act ourselves and in turn your children have the same agency. Listen to this episode for two strategies to have more peace around how you steer your kids in the "right" direction.

Celebration time, come on! It's time to celebrate as The Peaceful Mind Podcast turns one year old soon. It's fitting to celebrate the milestone of the release of episode #50, and to remind all of you listeners of the importance of celebrating all the wins of your life. All too often we arrive at an accomplishment and maybe do a "hey this great!" or high five or go tell a best friend or relative, but then it quickly fades as either 1) the brain shows you all the things that didn't go right or how it wasn't quite good enough or why it's not a big deal as you think or 2.) the brain moves you right along to create the new to-do, the new goal, the new aspiration to go ahead and start working toward. In this episode, I want to show you the amazing benefit to truly pausing to celebrate all of life's wins. Throughout your motherhood, there are plenty to be found when you go looking for them, take the time to recognize them as wins, and evaluate how you did it so you can take that evidence with you into the future to show yourself that you have an amazing creation power. It's time to learn how to celebrate every kind of milestone. I know I am celebrating 50 episodes put out into the world to connect, and serve wonderful you!
