Meet Our Mastermind
Mom Wants More
Last month on the podcast we explored the theme of Comparison, as we shift gears into this month's theme of Friendship, we can't think of a better transition than THIS week's episode! Pursuing your passion can feel lonely at times but one of the best ways to combat comparison is to find your people, connect with them, & support them. One way we do that is through a mastermind group. Curious about what a mastermind is or how it works? Today we're introducing y'all to the members of our mastermind group.

Parenting with Confidence with Becky Keife

One of the reasons we created this podcast is because we believe that leaning into our God given gifts and strengths truly helps us become better mothers.

info_outlineWe are rereleasing this episode as we prepare for our January Mini-Series.
We love a clean slate and is there any cleaner of a slate than January 1? The whole year is stretched out before us, full of possibility and good intentions. So naturally everyone and their Aunt Millie is currently setting goals and thinking about how they want to show up in the world this year.
Here at Mom Wants More we have some suggestions on how you can practice this gently with yourself. We are all about naming those things we hope for, for calling our shot, and then getting after it. But it can quickly turn into pressure, an "on or off" mentality, or even feeling like a failure by January 11. In today's episode we're highlighting the difference between setting a hard Goal and setting an Intention.
We think that when it comes to intentions and mindfulness, the more the merrier, but when it comes to hard goals, less is actually more.
We're sharing how this looks in our personal lives and we're offering up some practical and helpful ideas of how you can approach this exercise in your own life.
Listen in! And we'd love to hear some of YOUR New Year's goals or intentions! Leave a comment, email us, or send us a private message! We'll show you ours if you show us yours!
Thanks for being such a rad community- for tuning in, following along, sharing the podcast with your people, and for basically being the best listeners ever!
