Podcast Episode 79: You May Be Settling for Less Than You Deserve (and what you can do about that)

Why in the world do we have such low standards sometimes? Many of us wouldn’t give someone the time of day if they were to say to us “I like to keep the bar low, so that way when I do anything- you get impressed”.

Um- no thank you!

Next, please!

And yet, we hear others say that they feel spoiled when their partner gives their kids a bath (for the first time ever…and their youngest is 3!), or they were able to sleep in one day out of the year.

Seriously?

When did that count as being “spoiled”?

In this podcast episode, we push against the thought-process that as moms, we should be happy (settling) for cold chicken nuggets as a meal and someone offering (but not actually doing) the dishes one day a year.  We dig deep into expectations, why we sometimes settle for less than we know we deserve, and 4 things we can do about that!

3 Ways to Stop Whining for Good

Not my best parenting moment.

My four-year-old son and I were running late. It’s always where my blow-ups happen.

We had left Target and were driving to pick up my daughter from her day camp when I noticed it… that orange light on the dashboard.

I only had 7 miles left in the tank.

OK, I can do this. I can hit the Circle K on the way to camp. As I cross the intersection, I notice the station is packed – I’ve never seen so many cars!  Every pump occupied.

Ooohh… except one. I pull a fancy backup maneuver and sidle up to the pump.

“Mommy, I’m hot,” my four-year-old son tells me from the backseat.

How a Planner Can Keep You Sane

How a Planner Can Keep You Sane

I make no secret that I struggle with anxiety and depression.

The constant rising feeling of panic I feel in my worst moments.

Combined with the belief that nothing I do will ever make a difference, so why even bother?

Oh ya, these thought patterns are real.

And can I say, they suck.

You might know what I’m talking about.

Not only do my thoughts make me feel horrible, but they also tamper with productivity, make me snap at my kids and overall make me not a nice person to be around.

When they’re at their worst, I rely on a simple system that I set up in my planner.
