Shaping our kids beliefs around money
Braving the Mountain
I feel like sometimes as moms, we don’t even fully understand the power we hold when it comes to shaping our kids' beliefs around life and money. Today I’m talking about how much of an impact we truly do have and how to shift it. As I’ve always said, the key to shifting anything in our lives is by first becoming aware. So in this spicy little episode, I teach you how to begin gaining an awareness around how you are thinking and talking about life, yourself, and money around your kids. The thing is, their financial mindset is set around the age of 8 and although we have thoughts like...

Manifestation doesn't work?!?
Braving the Mountain
Have you ever heard people talk about manifestation being ‘woo’ and that it’s not a real thing? Well, let me give you the scientific side of it because it’s not what you think. NO you can’t lay on the couch and manifest things… Manifestation is when you desire something, believe it’s yours, ask for guidance from God, Universe, Source, or whatever you believe in, and then when that inspired idea hits… YOU take action. It’s holding the energy and belief that it’s yours even when it feels like it’s not working out. Some days it feels like magic when things work out way...

Asking your kids how much they want to make!
Braving the Mountain
Ready to shake things up and shift your kids thoughts around money?

Maybe money was a touchy subject when you were growing up. I know it was for me. But the thing is, we now get to choose a no more hiding finances under the rug sitch in our fam! You get to change the narrative and make it FUN for them so that they can grow up with a healthier idea around it and...

Clearing past energy to make space for more
Braving the Mountain
We have to clear past energy within us before the new can flow in…. Think of your body like a jar of fireflies with the lid on tight. They are flying around hitting the sides and wanting out. When you open up that lid and the fireflies escape, there is now space for new ones to fly in. It’s the same with our bodies. They are storing energy from childhood which keeps us reacting to things and perpetuating the same patterns and habits in life over + over + over again. This is why you can’t do mindset work only and get where you desire to go. You also need to release the energy...

Stop projecting onto your kids
Braving the Mountain
If you've ever found yourself frustrated with your kids, I promise you, I can relate! In today’s episode, I dive into something that's been on my mind lately: projecting our own stuff onto our kids. I’ve had my moments in the past of pushing them hard or trying to get them to show up for themselves the way I want them to. What I realized was it was a lot of my own insecurities causing me to show up that way. I was just projecting it onto my kids because I wanted them to do better because I wasn’t doing it for myself. Make sense? If you’ve ever found yourself...

Recognizing healed parts of you
Braving the Mountain
Just like many of you, my childhood was tough. There was neglect and abuse, both emotionally and physically. I’m not placing blame or any anger because those experiences shaped me into who I became. As kids, we learn how to survive based on our experiences. We learn survival skills that follow us into adulthood where a lot of the time, they no longer serve us. This is where a lot of our healing begins. The most amazing thing is, when you start to recognize the parts of you that are healing. Maybe you don’t respond the same way you once did to certain things. A lot of the triggers...

Are you making the things you don't want to happen, happen?
Braving the Mountain
Are you making things you don’t want to happen, happen? Perhaps putting too much pressure on your kids in their sports? Do you know it’s a trap for them and may affect your relationship with them? Imagine seeing your kid feeling heavy when we get mad at them for not “showing up” on the field or mat. I’ve been there and I’ve seen it with my own kids. The thing is, know better do better amiright?! Sometimes as moms, we don’t realize the impact it has on our kids. All their brains want to do is please us as parents and when we are constantly putting pressure on them to win. ...

Self-abandonment leads to resentment
Braving the Mountain
It's funny how society sometimes makes us feel guilty for taking care of ourselves, especially once we become moms. There's always this expectation that we should prioritize our kids and others above ourselves. On this week’s episode I talk about how self-abandonment (putting everyone else first) affects every relationship in your life + what to do to step back into your power. I always wanted to be the ‘cool mom’ and ‘cool wife’ and thought that came with sacrificing myself for the sake of others + boy did I learn that lesson the hard way! But the truth is, it's okay –...

Let's normalize asking for help in the home
Braving the Mountain
Do you feel like you are the one who should be doing it all from laundry, cleaning, and taking care of the home? I know I did for the longest time and I’ve learned that all it does is lead to resentment which doesn’t feel good. So this week I’m giving you real-life examples of lessons learned the hard way so that you can recognize where they might be showing up in your life and that you can change it too! I feel like society has always taught us that women are the caregivers, nurturers, and that we get put on the backburner once the kids come along. I’m calling BS on that...

As kids, we learn how to survive based on our experiences. We learn survival skills that follow us into adulthood where a lot of the time, they no longer serve us. This is where a lot of our healing begins.
The most amazing thing is, when you start to recognize the parts of you that are healing. Maybe you don’t respond the same way you once did to certain things. A lot of the triggers begin to fall away and you truly find more peace + safety within yourself.
This is what I want for you because I used to think that I had ‘too much’ and could never heal all the things I thought were wrong with me and boy was I wrong!
The past several months I’ve started recognizing where I’m showing up more healed and it feels incredible!
I share my experiences with it here for you this week and I want you to know, you are not alone, there is nothing wrong with you, and you can shift so that you show up as who you want to be moving forward! I promise you that!
