Today's guest, Kim Gross, is the founder/creator of the 5-Step Power Pathway. She helps people pleasers and perfectionists who have spent a lifetime of perpetual suffering because they have identified with these patterns. She helps guide clients on a journey of self-healing so that they can have more meaningful connections and have the courage to create the life they desire. 

As a recovering codependent, she helps people to go from perfectionism and people pleasing to powerful. 

She spent a lifetime pleasing and perfecting and all the while losing herself in the roles that she played. It is her passion and desire to help others to create real and meaningful relationships and create the inner power to "Dare Greatly" as they create the life they desire. 

Kim is the host of the popular podcast “Masks Off” and is a champion for helping people find out exactly who they are behind the masks they wear. She helps people awaken themselves by guiding them to undo patterns, stop living for others, shift their mindset and start healing.

Todays guest, Genie Love had been trying to figure out how to stay foc

used and attentive, how to decrease procrastination, how to manage

done her entire adult life. She knows firsthand what it’s like to

overcome the overwhelm and disorganized mess and is excited about

what she brings to the neurodiversity movement!

She has 20 years of experience teaching Special Education high

school students and has a business coaching adults who struggle with

executive functions.

Genie is also the mother of a 9 year old who was only recently

diagnosed with ADHD and has a lot to share about the experiences of

raising a strong-willed and fiercely independent girl.

We are back with another fun episode that will put a smile on your face and laugh in your spirit! I had so much fun interviewing Cat and Nat awhile back that I am glad to share it with you now as we start summer.

CATHERINE BELKNAP and NATALIE TELFER have been friends since they were teens but grew closer with motherhood when they chose to confide in each other about the more taboo topics of parenting. It wasn’t long after that when they decided to bring the conversation online in hopes of helping other moms feel less isolated. Their rapidly exploding community of like-minded moms tune in every day to watch them rewrite the paradigm of “the perfect mom.”

 When they felt there was no safe space for moms to be themselves, no confidante to turn to without losing prized relationship-. Cat & Nat decided to change this. With seven children between them, the duo has been through it all, and in Mom Secrets (released 3/29/22)—the follow-up to their nationally bestselling Mom Truths—they’ve invited the legion of moms who love them to share their own darkest parenting secrets, and use those to kick off their own stories, going deeper about big topics like guilt, balancing career with motherhood, and body image. Mom Secrets cover confessions such as:

• Being a single parent without friends
• Fantasizing about running away
• What to do when kids take parents' "toys" to school
• and much more...

Check out clips from their appearances on The Today Show, GMA Strahan & Sara ‘Momfessions’, TIDE pods commercial, and others.

CAT & NAT’S MOM SECRETS: Coffee-Fueled Confessions from the Mom Trenches

by Catherine Belknap & Natalie Telfer

Praise for Cat and Nat’s Mom Truths:

“What do new mothers need the most? Sleep, for one. But after sleep, they need good friends, people to let them know they aren’t alone in this strange new world they are navigating. Enter Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer ... Their new book is funny, honest, and encouraging.” —New York Post

“Accept the chaos, embrace the mom bod and stress less about germs, among other things. That’s courtesy of Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer, friends from high school who reconnected as first-time mothers. Parenting books left them feeling like they already blew it, the writers said, so they looked elsewhere for affirmation.”  —Wall Street Journal

You know I’m all about supporting and empowering mothers! That’s why I jumped at the chance to join my friends, Lara Dawn and Sarah Nykoruk for their free virtual retreat, Putting Mama First.

I’d like to let you in on a little secret: You have been gifted a complimentary ticket! You can grab your seat here. https://retreat.puttingmamafirst.com/Ekua

Airing from November 7-9, 2022, this online virtual retreat is not your typical online summit!  

This is an immersive experience. Like going to the spa to help you reconnect with self-love, and self-compassion and help you find more joy in life, and motherhood again. 

One of those incredible moms is today's Mom Changing the World guest.

Veronica Hunter had a variety of experiences before kids - patented R&D scientist, chemistry teacher, Quality Assurance specialist, and IT project manager in the biotech industry. Yet, her experiences with her own 4 neurodiverse kids opened a new world of passion. Navigating the worlds of ADHD, anxiety, and dyslexia she wanted to understand deeply what is going for kids, and more importantly how to support them. It took 4 years to put the picture together, and she helps other families smooth their road and save time, money, and frustration by quickly connecting them to the help they need to grow their happy and healthy family!

She once saw a mom post on FaceBook, “My child was diagnosed with ADHD, what now?” When the answer from other parents was, “Start your research.” She knew we needed a better answer. So, she put together the virtual event ADHD - What Now? and seeing the response to the 20+ experts she had gathered, she saw just how many parents needed this big picture of options to streamline their progress.

Now Veronica’s the founder of ADHD- What Now? (www.whatnowADHD.com) and helps parents make their unique ADHD Action Plan for their child and then helps them dive deep into questions to support their unique neurodiverse kids.

Welcome to Season 5! We are kicking off the Season with not just one, but two summit opportunities coming up for you. It all starts with Putting Mama First from November 7-9, 2022, online virtual retreat.  You can grab your seat here. My session is on on the 9th, so mark your calendar. This immersive retreat will leave you feeling pampered and cared for as a mom nurturing your children.

Then, my friends, Cecilia and Jason Hilkey, asked me to help them lead a life-changing, global event – the 11th Happily Family Online Parenting Conference November 10-14.

If you’ve never experienced a Happily Family Conference then you are in for a treat (if you’ve been to one, then you already know what I’m talking about). You can get your FREE ticket in this email.

Listen in to hear a Mom Changing the World from Season 4 return with her new book you won't want to miss. Anita Prendergast is The Good Mom Coach™ who works with busy parents to ditch the overwhelm and raise bullyproof kids. She believes that the key to good parenting is self-care and parents who make this a priority raise children who are more confident and compassionate.

Anita has garnered the respect of the international massage therapy community to become President of the Massage In Schools Association™ U.S.A. division. She is a licensed massage therapist, certified relationship coach and founder of Village Academy for Families which teaches building healthy relationships using positive touch.

Anita attended the Swedish Institute of Massage Therapy and holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from the University of South Carolina.

In this conversation, Anita will talk about her new book “Confessions of the Good Mom” where you will learn about her four ways to practice self-care and make motherhood EASY. You will also learn how you can bullyproof kids by using the Massage in Schools Program™.

You can find Anita at www.thegoodmom.org

What is TEFOS?

Parents often say, "I just want my child to be happy and successful," but knowing how to help a neurodivergent child who is struggling can be baffling, especially if they resist help. I created TEFOS, The Executive Function Online Summit, for compassionate & proactive parents of children who struggle with the Executive Function Skills needed for school and life success. Three days to learn and be immersed in all things that will help you help your child to be their best for back to school just a few weeks away!

This week's guest is Nisha Melvani, MS RD, cook book author and Blogger at Cooking for Peanuts who shares her delightful tips and recipes to bring out the flavor in vegetables. Show your kids the world of flavors that is out there without boarding a plane on this journey.

Ethnically Indian and culturally Jamaican, raised by a "spam-loving" mother, Nisha came to love and appreciate all the benefits of fresh foods cooked with flavor that even your little "peanut" will love. We talk about making food look beautiful (because we eat first with our eyes!), mindful cooking and eating, jazzed up lentils chili, cornbread mug cake, teriyaki pulled jack fruit and more.

This week on the podcast, J.P. Miller is an award-winning author, aunty and spiritual mother to many young people, who shares a first-hand account of what it was like to be a student during integration. As a children's book author, she is the perfect guest to dive into our rich history and heritage of black Americans and people in the diaspora around the world. 

J. P. is a recipient of the 2016 Best Short Stories/Anthologies Award (African American Literary Award) and the 2021 Black Authors Matter Award (National Black Book Festival). She enjoys taking an active role in dispelling stereotypes and tearing down cultural barriers through books she’s written in the Leaders Like Us series and Black Stories that Matter series. 

 We talk about rich topics including:

• How social identity is established
• Authentic cultural representation in literature
• What it was like to be a student during integration 
• How dolls helped end segregation
• Why black stories matter

Welcome to the conclusion of our first panel on MCTW discussing education and neurodiversity this season. Make sure to listen to part 1 for the full discussion.

Amy Kay is a successful corporate leader, an empathetic coach and workshop facilitator, and a passionate mom of two twice-exceptional "tweens". Amy’s corporate career has spanned a wide variety of roles in marketing and event management, employee engagement, and process optimization. She currently leads a team deploying data insights for a leading financial services company.

Amy discovered her passion for career coaching mid-career after a journey to discover her life’s work, and now uses this methodology to coach her own clients. Amy empowers her clients to recognize and own their unique gifts and talents so that they can discover a career that aligns with their potential and purpose. Her clients include high school and college students looking for direction early in their academic life, as well as fellow mid-careerists seeking to discover their own purpose.

As a mom of two gifted sons with ADHD, Amy has an appreciation for the combination of strengths and challenges that make each child unique. Amy has been an advocate for her children in the educational system as they navigate the often-confusing system of diagnoses, IEPs, 504s, classroom accommodations and specialists, and now advises other parents as they begin their own journey. Pre-pandemic, she volunteered as an elementary school art instructor and is eager to return to the classroom.

Amy holds a BA from Stanford University and an MBA from Santa Clara University and is a certified YouMap coach. You can find her on LinkedIn as Amykay and she can be reached at amykaycareercoaching@gmail.com.
