Hey have you ever closed your laptop at 5pm, walked into the kitchen, and realized you have no idea what's for dinner? You open the fridge, hoping for inspiration, but everything feels like too much effort — so you order takeout. Again. Yep, me too. Planning dinner, feeding everyone, and trying to keep meals healthy can feel overwhelming. And now, with the fresh energy of a new year, a lot of us are trying to build better habits — including eating at home more often. That’s why today’s episode is

I’m so glad you’re here today. Since we’re still in January — that season when many of us are setting fresh goals, making plans, and dreaming about what 2026 could look like — we wanted to lean into that ‘new year energy’ and offer some practical support.Last week, we talked about Why Your Goals Don’t Stick and how busy moms can actually achieve their goals in 2026 using SMART planning. We broke down what makes a goal achievable and how to set yourself up for success. Today, we’re shifting our

Do you still have some of that New Year energy? January has a special energy of newness - motivation, dreams, plans, goals, hopes for next year. This big new energy can help motivate us to make goals, like going to the gym every day, eating healthy, reading more books, getting a new planner, or picking a word for the year. The only problem with all these new goals or resolutions is that they usually end by mid January if not sooner. So how can you actually create goals, and accomplish them? It’s

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2026. Before we jump in, I want to invite you to take a deep breath right where you are. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your jaw, and remember this: you don’t have to rush into this year already feeling behind. A new year can come with so much pressure — new goals, new routines, new expectations — and yet what so many of us really want is something much simpler: to feel calm, clear, and supported in our real, everyday lives. This season is a fresh start, not

How was your Christmas? Christmas Day is always so magical, but once the presents are opened and life starts to settle back into normal, I sometimes feel that quiet post-holiday letdown. Do you feel that too? That’s why I love this in-between time after Christmas. The days between December 25th and early January are actually called Christmastide — that cozy stretch where you don’t quite know what day it is, and everything feels a little slower. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to use

Happy December! Wow! The days leading up to Christmas always seem to fly by faster than the Polar Express. But it’s here - tomorrow is Christmas Eve! How do you like to celebrate Christmas Eve? What family traditions did you have growing up? What traditions did you start with your kids? Have they changed as your kids have gotten older?

As moms, December can be incredibly overwhelming. It’s like life is now tossed into a blender and put on high, or we are driving a race car instead of our normal Honda Odyssey. In the last episode we talked about 10 things I stopped doing in December and why I think you should too. Following the theme of decreasing the stuff on our plate, today's episode is more of a practical episode giving you actual steps to decrease your to-do items and the things on your plate this season.

Happy December! This month comes with its own unique energy - it’s busy, magical, fun and overwhelming. You might feel this way too as your calendar starts to fill up with social events, your to-do list grows in leaps and bounds, and the amount of things you need to remember to bring or buy or be somewhere is absurd! So as this month jumps into full swing I was thinking, what can I take off my plate? What can I say no to, or make it easier, or delay? In today’s episode we are going to talk through

The Busy Vibrant Mom podcast is almost five years old! As I look back I am so thankful that you took time out of your busy day to listen.

This is just a short bonus episode to introduce you to the Rest & Reclaim Bundle. All month we’ve been talking about why your week feels like a race that you can’t win - the constant catching up, the lack of margin, broken routines that keep falling apart. It’s not you! We as moms try so hard to keep everything together, and work smoothly for us and our family. We balance responsibilities, home management, work, kids, schedules, and all the things, but it’s hard and sometimes we need some

This season is a mixture of excitement for the holiday season, filled with so many more to do’s. It's such a fun season, but it can be overwhelming too. We try to plan and smooth out our week.

But if you’re anything like me, you might already be feeling that low hum of stress starting to build.

As a natural planner I have found that this is in direct parallel to how I enjoy the holiday season. The more tasks and to-do items that I can get off my list before Thanksgiving and Christmas the less anxious and stressed I feel and the more I am actually able to focus on the Christmas Eve service

More often than not we just have too much in our head. Too many tasks that we can’t even write them down…that’s when we need to stop. How do I know? This was me last week. Maybe it was because we were in a busy season of three kids doing sports, or that I was traveling every weekend and playing catch up during the week, or maybe it was all the things that I take care of and the invisible mental load piling up. We as moms hold so much, the invisible mental load, household management, work
