Sometimes when we are feeling overwhelmed, we have to ask ourselves some hard questions, like: “Am I causing my own chaos?” When we understand our non-negotiables and say yes to what aligns with our values rather than what we think others expect from us, we can enjoy contentment in our motherhood. In today’s episode I’m chatting with Andrea Dekker, a wife and mother of 4 young children who loves nothing more than being home! Andrea blogs at andreadekker.com, where she shares her passions for creating a peaceful home, pursuing a simpler + slower lifestyle, and encouraging women in all stages of life to lean into their values and live more intentionally. We chat about the transition to motherhood that caused her to feel overwhelmed, how she learned to start saying “no” and embrace her season of motherhood, and what back-to-school routines look like in her home! Resources Mentioned: Connect with Andrea on her website or sign up for her weekly newsletter filled with simple recipes, home management tips, and more!

When you think of the word “legacy”, what comes to mind? What we leave behind for the ones we love? What if I told you that the legacy we leave our kids is a result of our actions today? In this eye-opening conversation with Julie Redmond on the Mom Made Plans podcast, we discuss the unhealthy coping mechanisms (including scrolling) that I’ve used to deal with the stresses of motherhood, and how recognizing the legacy I wanted to leave has allowed me to shift my perspective. I also offer some tactical strategies on how to leave a legacy by how we live in the mundane moments of motherhood. Julie, a two-time guest on Moms Overcoming Overwhelm, is a twin mom and host of the  Mom Made Plans podcast.  She is on a mission to make mom-life feel easier by getting out of survival mode and into intentional motherhood. She fully believes no routine or system will work until you know how you work. That means using self awareness filled strategies to become more efficient and impactful in your home.

How does decluttering and organizing allow us to calm the overwhelm in our lives? In this interview on the Motherhood Restored Podcast, I chat with Natalie Hixson about the three causes of overwhelm, reducing decision fatigue, the power of saying NO and minding our “shoulds”, and much more! Natalie Hixson is a wife, mama to three, and Certified professional Christian life coach. She helps discouraged Christian moms overcome destructive anger and burnout. After learning to thrive in motherhood and process anger in a healthy way, Natalie became convicted to help other moms avoid those dark years of motherhood by helping them to appreciate and process their anger, learn to identify their triggers, and ultimately control their reaction to those triggering situations.

Are you overwhelmed by clutter? Overstimulated easily? Sensitive to noise, touch, caffeine, or sensory input in general? You may be a highly sensitive person, like me. Being an HSP has impacted my parenting in huge ways, including how I respond to sensory input, touch, and noise (hello, two boys!) In this interview on the Failing Motherhood Podcast, I talk about my struggles with anger in my early motherhood and how I was able to cope - by decluttering, simplifying, and also therapy, medication, mindfulness, and other strategies. If you struggle with anger in your motherhood or feel constantly overwhelmed, this episode is for you. Danielle Bettmann, the amazing host of Failing Motherhood, is a parenting coach for families with 1-10-year-old strong-willed kids. You can learn more about Danielle here.

In this episode “remix” I’m bringing you the best clips from my conversation with Lisa Lizotte from the Habits and Home Show all about why resets are the #1 habit to keep your home clutter-free. Lisa is a wife, mom of three and cheerleader for anyone wanting to simplify their life so that they can enjoy it more. Lisa first tried living as a minimalist but no matter how few possessions she owned, she still struggled to keep up with it all. Then she discovered the solution to the chaos was  to simplify and systemize her home to support life-changing habits. Through this process, she’s been able to keep up with daily home management and be more mentally present with her family. 📣 PODCAST UPDATE: I’m taking a break for the summer! You will see replays/interviews I’ve had on others’ shows on Thursdays from now until Thursday, August 15th.
