Well-meaning people give young moms a lot of advice. Some of it is helpful, but some of it just isn't.
Author Becky Baudouin wrote a book called Enjoy Every Minute and Other Ridiculous Things We Say to Moms to explore this advice, laugh at some of it and pull the nuggets of truth out of them. Join us on A Life Designed as we talk about a couple of the main themes in the book - mom guilt and balance.

Date night with your spouse was tough enough before COVID, but now with COVID date nights have been pretty non-existent for many couples.
This is a problem, because dating is important. Our marriage relationship is the foundation of our family — we need to take good care of it. I know it can be hard to think of creative things to do with hubby, so in this episode of the podcast I will share with you 10 date night ideas for out of the house and 20 date night ideas for at home. I hope it inspires you! P.S. The appetizer I couldn’t remember the name of in the episode was calamari. LOL! For more inspiration, join me in my private A Life Designed community on Facebook.

I was talking to a client the other day when she started telling me a story about her experience at one of her many volunteer opportunities. As soon as she arrived for her shift, one of the other volunteers notified everyone else that the leader was here and they should follow her. She wasn’t officially the leader, but when she showed up to volunteer, the very best in her came out. She shined bright.
As she told me that story she shined brightly too. Her whole face lit up and her body language was excited. My friends, this is a pure sign that you are living in your God-given gifts. What a beautiful place to be. In this episode of the podcast I am going to teach you how to live from this place more often. I hope you’ll join me!
