PEP TALK: Bringing Peace and Empowerment Into Motherhood

In this episode, I’m walking you through my Sunday Reset, the simple rituals and micro-moments that help me step into a new week feeling calm, organized, and grounded. As a mom, it’s so easy to feel like the week runs us instead of the other way around. That’s why I carve out intentional time on Sundays to reset: planning ahead, creating small rhythms, and putting things in place so the week flows more smoothly.Of course, life with kids is unpredictable and nothing ever goes perfectly, but having this reset routine gives me a solid foundation and a sense of peace no matter what comes up. Tune in to hear the little things I do to prepare, stay grounded, and avoid overwhelm, so I can show up for myself and my family with more ease.

Motherhood can feel loud, busy, and overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to drown out your peace. In this episode, I’m sharing how we as moms can ground ourselves in our values, strengthen our support systems, and take micro moments of self-care that help us reset and realign. Together, we’ll reflect on the importance of boundaries, staying connected to what truly matters for our families, and choosing empowerment over outside noise and pressure. With so many influences competing for our attention, this conversation is all about returning to center and finding the peace that allows us to thrive in this season of motherhood.

But here’s the thing: creating little pockets of order in our home can make a huge difference in our mental health and give us the breathing room we desperately need.I’ll share practical, realistic steps you can start today, like tackling one drawer at a time, finding micro-moments to tidy up, and even creating one sanctuary space that’s just for you. This isn’t about perfection or a Pinterest-worthy house, it’s about finding peace and creating a home that feels good for you in this busy season.If you’ve been craving motivation to get started or just need a reminder that small steps truly matter, this episode will give you the encouragement to create a space you love, even in the beautiful chaos of motherhood.Connect with me!Email: [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/heygirlhey_withbecca?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

As moms, time isn’t always in our favor, between busy schedules, kids, and the chaos of daily life, the things we love often get pushed aside. For me, that was working out. In this episode, I share how I fell out of my routine during the summer and the simple ways I’ve brought movement back into my life—without a gym. This is your reminder that no matter how packed your days feel, you can always find small, intentional ways to make space for what lights you up.

In this show, I talk about aging and how I’m embracing and pushing against it! Life in your 40s looks and feels different—especially as a mom raising young kids. In this season, I’m learning to embrace the beauty (and the messiness) of aging, while holding space for both the excitement and the fear that come with stepping into a new phase of life.On this show, I share honest conversations about navigating motherhood, rediscovering myself, and finding joy in the small moments that matter most. Aging may feel overwhelming at times, but it’s also a gift and I’m deeply grateful for my health, my family’s health, and the chance to grow into the woman I’m becoming.

In this episode, I share my personal journey of navigating the early days of motherhood—those newborn and toddler phases where life felt messy, overwhelming, and full of comparison traps. Instead of striving for big, grand gestures, I leaned into the little things that made life work for me and my family. Over time, those small choices shaped my reality and turned my dreams into something I could truly live out.Motherhood doesn’t mean losing ourselves, it’s about discovering new layers of who we are. We are moms, yes, but we’re also women with passions, dreams, and callings outside of motherhood. When we honor those parts of ourselves, we come back to our families as better moms, better wives, better friends, and better women.My hope is that this episode inspires you to do something you love, no matter how small it may feel right now, and reminds you that coming back to yourself is one of the best gifts you can give your children.
