This week, Kristy draws on her own experience and the experiences of dear friends to talk about honest motherhood. She’ll share four assets of encouragement to help us thrive through the highs and lows of being a mom. 

We’ll share simple ideas to help win the hearts of our kids through easy to do traditions and talk about how to meld and mold their memories so that even if we screw up, they’ll still look back on their lives with a smile!

Then, we’ll touch on how we can help confirm and grow our kids’ confidence through trust and stepping back. So hard to do sometimes, but so worth it! 

Wrap up our discussion with some ideas on how to nurture and give ourselves the time and maintenance we need to do our life’s most important work of mothering. Listen in and share with a mom who needs this message!

44. Creating Better Habits

This week we continue reviewing James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, and learn what a habit is as well as the fundamental parts of a habit. We then explore the science of how a habit works so we can begin to improve our habits. 

“Habits reduce cognitive load and free up mental capacity, so you can allocate your attention to other tasks.” Sounds exciting, right? 

Understand the steps that establish a habit pattern - cue, craving, response, reward- the backbone of every habit, and learn a practical framework we can begin using immediately to design good habits and eliminate bad ones. 

We’ll look at what Clear calls, The Four Laws of Behavior Change, a simple set of “rules” we can adopt for developing better habits. We’ll demonstrate how habits do not restrict freedom, they create it.
