Sometimes it's easy to rock it at work because there is a strategy and an execution plan. It might not always be easy, but you can come back to the plan. What if the same could be said for your home life as well?

Do you have your kids do chores? As a working mom, this can be a hard battle. We want the best for our kids, but our time with them is limited so how do we set up a structure for chores that make sense, is easy to manage and enforce, but also helps our kids succeed? That is what we are diving into this episode! We are joined by a mom of 10 (yep, 10 kids), Ashley Buffa and she is sharing with us about chores. Listen in as we talk about why chores are important (and how chores really can save the world), how to figure out what chores your kids should be doing, and how to not let a chore system that you implement just fall by the wayside but actually work.

Ok, we know that this is a hard year for everyone, but it is especially hard on our kiddos. As a mom, it breaks my heart to watch my kids struggle and so I invited Dr. Melissa to come on the show to empower us to lead our kids in their health to help them thrive. We are not just talking about physical health, but mental and spiritual health too.
Dr. Melissa Choi is a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician and mom who is passionate about helping other moms and families be the best they can be.

With everything that has gone on this year, many of us feel like we might just be in survival mode….not thriving mode. When this happens, our goals and intentions can go out the window. Our time gets used just getting the minimum done and hoping for the best.

In this episode, I'll walk you through the planning steps to set yourself up for success in the last 90-days of the year.

We all want to be healthy, but did you know that our health can be closely tied to our faith?
Lately, I have been all about stacking, meaning doing something that will hit multiple areas of life with just one thing. This is a lifesaver as a working mom. Focusing on my health through the lens of my faith is just one example. I am joined by Holistic Nutritionist, Jenna Allerson as she shares 5 key ingredients to a healthy lifestyle.
I think it's time to renew our minds and reclaim 2020 for the Lord. This year so far has been a doozy. But it's time for us to live by faith and not be consumed by the things of this world.
In the past when I thought of "the things of the world", I thought of things like my goals, my ambition....not they are bad but it is easy to be consumed by them. But right now it's things like the upcoming election, Covid-19, the kid's school situation, civil unrest....
These things are consuming but I am reminded that while these are big things that can have an impact on our lives, they don't change Jesus. They don't change the power of the Spirit. They don't change our salvation or the call on my life or yours according to the will of God.
So, to be renewed, we need to focus on the things that are eternal. Let's reclaim this year. Let's shift our focus and be the light for others.
It's the final week of our Summer Refresh series! Over the past 7 weeks, we have focused on creating more joy in our days. And as we begin to transition from summer to back to school, this week's focus is so important. We talk a lot about balance on this show but do you believe that it is possible for you as a working mom? How do you define balance for your life? This week, I'll walk you through the steps to redefine balance for you and your life. Get ready because this will carry over into everything that you do to kill the stress and chaos and build a life that rocks!
When we talk about balance, regardless of how you define it, you need to have three things.
1. God first in your life
2. Community and
3. Systems that help you live in a balanced way.
This week we are focusing on number two, community. There are many components to building community, but what we are focusing on this week is all about bringing in more joy to your life (because that is what this whole 7 week series is all about) by loving on others.
When we focus on others and love on them, it's easy to forget about the little things that are weighing us down. Plus, as you live in your purpose of building up others and loving on them, you are becoming more like Christ and that kind of alignment with the Spirit naturally produces more joy. Trust me. Give it a try and get ready to see some serious shifts in your life.
Watch your kids and think about how they are just fully living life. They don’t care if they have gunk on their faces or if the house isn’t perfect, they just find joy. They dance like no one is watching, and sometimes dress that way too. If the clothes feel good, they want to wear them. Or if it’s what they like.
Do you remember doing the same thing when you were little? What things did you do that brought you joy? Today, we are revisiting those childhood joys and giving ourselves permission to reconnect with it. Now, you might not walk around with a milk mustache and your lunch all over your face without a care in the world, but hopefully, you will find even just one thing to reintroduce to your life to spark Joy.
When you hear “let it go” I am sure that it brings up ideas, thoughts, and beliefs that you already have set for yourself about letting stuff go. Why? Because we are always told to just let it go! Stress, grudges, worry….all of it. But it’s easier said than done.
Now, this summer series is all about bringing more Joy in your life and we can’t really get Joy if we are holding onto things that distract us from the joy God has for us in this life. So today we are going to talk a little about why it’s important to let it go, but more importantly, three steps to actually let it go.
Let's get ready to pump it up! Need a refresh and want to welcome in more joy into your life? Join us for working mom summer camp!

Let's continue the conversation and connect on social media
Are you considering homeschool next year with everything going on? How does that work when you are working? If you missed last week, go back and have a listen as we broke down a lot of the logistics to getting started with Homeschool and kill the overwhelm. In this episode, we are joined by a working mom who has homeschooled all of her kids and made it work as she pursued her career. Jen Moore and I talk about the benefits and drawbacks of making this choice including missing out on traditional school activities.
We will be walking through more topics related to this over on YouTube. Click here to subscribe.
Get more information on this topic inside the Your Life Rocks Summer LifeStyle Guide in the Your Life Rocks app.
Is it possible to homeschool and work full time? Who knows what school is really going to look like next year and this has so many of us looking at homeschooling as an option. With all the homeschooling options out there, it can start to get a little overwhelming! That's why I sat down to get all the details from an expert that knows her stuff.
Meet Erin Barry from A Home Educated Mind. In this episode, she walks us through the different kinds of homeschool options, answers all the scary questions (well, a lot of them), and walks us through step by step how to do this homeschool thing.
