46 | Healthy Habits to Still Prioritize YOUR Health While At Home with Kids with Kelsey Wickenhauser

Hi, friend!
Have you ever felt like you don’t have time to prioritize fitness now that you’re a mom? Or maybe you really want health to be a big focus in your life, but are having a hard time fitting it in with so many other responsibilities to juggle with mom life, work, and all the other roles we play as busy moms.
In today’s episode, I am bringing on Kelsey Wickenhauser and we are talking all about healthy habits to still prioritize YOUR health while at home with kids. Kelsey is a Physician Assistant turned Christian health coach and she is super passionate about helping women break free from diet culture so they can lose weight for the LAST time.
In this conversation, we are talking about healthy habits for stay at home moms, what is Kingdom-minded weight loss, and how on earth to focus on your health when you’re at home with littles and it seems like you can’t even find a few minutes to just drink your coffee in peace, let alone try to start prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, trying to lose weight, or just maintaining a simple fitness routine again. Kelsey has so many practical tips for how to make this possible in a really balanced approach and I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!
-KyAnn

42 | The Biology of “Mom Brain” & How to Use That to Your Advantage with Rachael Elmore

Hi, friend!
Have you ever felt like you don’t even recognize the person you are now that you are a mom? You knew that new mom life would be full of really big high’s and also really hard challenges, but even though you prepared as much as you could, you’re still asking yourself is it really supposed to be THIS hard?
Maybe mom life isn’t what you expected, maybe balancing it all is making you feel a little crazy, or you just don’t know how to actually take care of yourself and find time for self care amidst everything else you are responsible for (including keeping multiple humans alive!).
If you have struggled with managing stress, responding in anger or just feeling like your mind feels out of control, this episode will be SO insightful. Rachael Elmore has been a licensed Christian therapist for 20+ years and is also an award-winning author. We are diving into the biology of “mommy brain”, how our brains actually change after becoming a mom, and how we can use that for our advantage as we are trying to balance it all. We also talk about postpartum depression and vulnerable personal stories of each of our experiences as well as wisdom on how to know how much is too much as moms balancing multiple roles as mom, wife, and business/career. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!

41 | Feeling Disorganized? Try This 10-Minute Daily Reset Routine!

Hi, friend!
Are you tired of seeing clutter everywhere and really just want to figure out how to make keeping a tidy home SIMPLE again? In today’s episode, I am sharing my 10 minute daily reset routine to make tidying up EASY and attainable as a busy mom.
Have you ever thought about the tasks that you procrastinate the most? If you really think about it, is it always tasks that you HATE doing or that take hours and hours and hours to complete? Or if you get really honest, do the tasks you procrastinate the most ALWAYS take so much less work than you expect, but you work them up to be a much bigger project than they actually are in your mind?
This is true for so many of my students (and myself as well!) and I’ve found that often, the overwhelm in our brain clouds us from being able to come up with easy action steps to just START. I know you really just want a simple system to be consistent in tidying up around the house, instead of letting things pile up until you feel like you are PARALYZED to even know where to start. This episode is going to give you exactly that! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!

40 | Our Daily Schedule with 3 Kids 4 & Under (Balancing Homeschooling, Working from Home, and Homesteading)

Hi, friend!
I get a lot of questions on what do your days practically look like as a stay at home mom that is also a work from home mom? How do you schedule your days? What does balance look like to you in this season? This is something I walk through in-depth on how I schedule my days, how I originally decided the best way to schedule my days for success, all of that, but today, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain and just give you an overview of how we are currently spending our days.
Now, I’ll give the disclaimer that no two days are exactly alike in our household, but we definitely have a normal rhythm to our days and I’ll walk you through what that looks like currently for us as we are homeschooling, I work from home, and we also have lots of hobbies and activities like homesteading, being involved in our church and community, etc. I think this will be a really fun one to break down! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!

And that is feeling like you are tired of using screens to babysit or entertain your kids just so you can get anything done.

I’ve totally been there and this episode is for you!
In today’s episode, I’m going to share 3 super quick activities that take 5 minutes or less to set up that can help your kids play independently while you get some stuff done, maybe sneak in a few minutes of work, or even just drink a cup of coffee in peace! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!
