What You Lead With

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/03/11

Homeschooling (and Time Management are 80% mindset and 20% strategy. You’re probably just trying to do it the other way around, which is why it can feel so frustrating, even infuriating, to want to manage your time better and feel like you just can’t. Or like all the pieces of your life are actively working against your best efforts to accomplish all the things on your to-do list, including homeschooling! It can feel like a losing battle, unless you understand what’s going on in your brain. In

Manage Your Time Better

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/03/04

Managing time isn’t as hard or mysterious as you’re making it out to be. There isn’t some magic formula for managing it ‘right.’ And there isn’t a one-size fits all way to organize your day that would solve all your stress, that you just can’t figure out. It's not true that you can't create a schedule or routine that works for your day, you're likely just thinking about it in an unproductive way and just don't know where to start. Here's what it all boils down to: Your mindset about Time

You're Doing Better Than You Think You Are with...

2024/02/26

In my life coaching work we practice thinking about what you hope your kids will say about you as their mother and homeschooler, in the future. And then taking action now to help create that outcome.

If you ever worry about your kid’s futures and what they will say about their experience in your homeschool, then today’s podcast episode will help you take a big deep, calming breath and rest into what God

Give Up Giving Up For Lent

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/02/19

Do you go into Lent thinking maybe this will be the year you'll finally kick some bad habits and make big changes (and maybe lose some weight in the process)? Do you have half a dozen ideas for what to give up, but never get around to clarifying what you're actually going to focus on? (This was me for forever.) Or are you the kind of penitent who starts out peaceful and self-controlled, with a clear goal in mind? Whatever you're M.O. is, I'm willing to bet that at some point, either during Lent

Blessed Be God: A Reflection on Redemptive Suffering...

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/02/12

This week is not just Ash Wednesday, it's not just Valentine's Day, it's also the100th episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, AND February 14th is also the 20th anniversary of the passing of my first husband, Joey. It is a FULL week! So as I was reflecting what I should talk about on the podcast this week, it seemed super obvious to me to share more of my love story with the Lord. And like most love stories, it's not all lovely. It's not all roses. It's not all happiness. There is pain and

Mom's Office Hours

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/02/05

If you were a teacher in a brick-and-mortar school or professor in college you would have designated time when you would prep your day, prepare the rest of your week, do research, grade papers, and receive students questions either via email or in person. However, as homescholers we have the added obstacles of toddlers and babies underfoot, laundry that needs to be changed over, meals that need to be made, and children delivered around town for various activities. So how do you get it all done? I'm

How often do you feel embarassed by, ashamed, or resentful of by your past? Have you ever noticed how your behavior changes here and now when your thoughts turn to things that have happened in the past?

How to Think on Purpose

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/01/15

Ever wonder why you have a hard time letting something go? For example you have at thought like: I can't get anything done! And then suddenly you see half finished or not-started projects everywhere? Which, of course, leads to further hamster wheel thoughts like: I can't follow through. I can't do what I want to do. We're not where we should be. This is how you get stuck in a loop of negative thinking, finding proof everywhere you look of how things aren't how they should be. There is an actual

2024/01/08

If you were a teacher in a brick-and-mortar school, then you would be required to take classes on a regular basis to continue your education, grow and build onto your skills, and learn the newest techniques and strategies to provide the best experience possible for your students and for yourself. And yet, there has never been such a continuing education program for homeschoolers, let alone Catholic homeschoolers. That's why I created the Happy, Holy Mama Membership.

2023/12/18

Does it feel like there’s a tension inside of you between being self-sacrificing, ‘offering up’ your suffering and self-care?

Because I have met SO many women on Consult Calls who tell me on that they worked right up to Christmas and then went back to school immediately after the New Year, I feel that what happened in our kitchen this week was worth sharing in hopes of helping you prevent that for yourself this year, if it's not what you truly want to be doing.

2023/12/04

While we all intellectually know that our Christmas won’t be perfect, somewhere inside most of us are still striving for a version of perfect. We want a plan. We want it organized and done ahead of time. We want to know where we’re going and what’s going to happen. We want to plan for all contingencies so no one is disappointed and we can all go home happy. This is as far from the first Christmas as it gets, and yet the first Christmas was truly the only perfect one in human history. Join me for

Becoming a Creative Problem Solver

2023/11/27

One of the reasons you feel overwhelmed and bogged down with a million decisions each day is because you're not giving your brain enough space to think outside of those times (those times exist, I promise), in order to creatively problem solve in the moment. And because this happens over and over, then you may have begun believing that you don't know what to do, because it feels like you're constantly putting out fires. It may feel like you've lost all ability to solve problems in a calm,

It's Thanksgiving week here in the US and this can feel like the beginning of a needlessly busy season. It's so hard to feel grateful, peaceful, satisfied, and accomplished when there is so much to do and in the back of your mind you're worrying about what your mother-in-law might say about your home, children's behavior, or offers her unsolicited opinions about homeschooling. If Thanksgiving, or the holidays in general, have been historically painful for you and you're kind of dreading what's
