Mental health carries a lot of weight, stigma, and embarrassment that prevents many from reaching out for the help they need. In today's special episode, Lara opens up about her own life of anxiety and depression. 

Drawing on her experiences as a child, mom, and wife, Lara is candid about the tools she's leaned into: therapy, medication, and life coaching (to name a few). And what began as thinking her faith wasn't strong enough has now turned into a deeper faith and a gratitude to God for the bounty of help. Maybe Lara's story can help you uncover the tools you need.

• You're not sure if you should see a therapist or if you should get a coach

Are you a mom who goes all-in on what you love, but you don't have the systems built within your home and then before you know it, things get really cluttered and out of control?

If you find yourself getting so overwhelmed to the point where it actually stops you from progressing forward, listen in as Lara shares a process that will help you put a plan into place, say good-bye to clutter and overwhelm, and hello to a happy, harmonious home.

This episode is for you if …

• The messes in your house are yelling at you
• The more you try to juggle, the messier and more disorganized things get
• You yell at and shame your parter and kids for not "helping" 
• You think you need to reorganize everything before working on a goal

When you think of your home like the zones of a sprinkler, you can figure it out based on the time you choose or have to give to it, not what needs to be done, but the time you choose to spend doing it. Then you can decide which zones in your home...

You LOVE checking things off your to-do list, but sometimes you don’t feel like you’re making any progress so you WRITE things in to check off so you feel better about how you spent your time.

That’s ok! Who DOESN’T love checking things off a list! BUT…it’s not solving the problem of actually getting the things done that you have to do.

When you can’t get those things done, you will give up on fulfilling your purpose every time. Because at some point your list will become so overwhelming that you HAVE to stop all other pursuits to address it.

This episode will help you feel better about your to-do list while actually getting it done the things you SAY you need to get done.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to decide what you really need to do;
• How to self celebrate what you ARE getting done;
• How to organize your list for success;
• The difference between results vs. tasks;
• When to use “unsexy time;”
• How to create...

Do you seek external validation, attention or praise from other people? Does it feel forced to say nice things to yourself? Are you constantly pointing out your flaws or deflecting compliments? If so, you are lacking self-love. And this lack is seeping into every aspect of your life.

Self-love isn’t just saying nice things to yourself. It comes from FEELING love for who you are, flaws and all. As you develop this kind of self-love, your ability to love others around you increases and that directly impacts and improves the relationships that matter most to you.  

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why you’re trying to talk yourself into self-love and why it isn’t working;
• Why your “love bucket” is empty and what you can do to fill it;
• How to overcome your fear of being selfish when you’re loving yourself;
• The 3 simple steps to fall in love with yourself;
• How this love helps you feel joy and improves every relationship in your life.

“Who are you?” Answering this question before kids, marriage, and life was easier. Because much of who you were was based on what you did. Now, years into motherhood, what you did has changed, and so has the relationship you have with yourself. This leaves you feeling lost and frustrated.

It's time to change that. Once you get to know WHO you are, you will build a strong foundation for every aspect of your life. You feel more alive, fulfilled, and confident. You will show up differently in your marriage, motherhood, home managing, work, relationships, all of it. It’s time for you to know and embrace who you are.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why you lost your reference points of who you are after kids;
• The mental blocks that are keeping you from knowing yourself;
• How to build a strong foundation for the rest of your life to be built on;
• The 5 simple steps to know WHO you are.
