Pep Talk Monday: When Life Gets Busy

In this episode, we’re diving into the ever-evolving world of friendship, how it shifts, how it grows, and how it sometimes fades. As we step into new seasons of life, especially motherhood, our priorities shift and so do the people around us. Some friendships are meant for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. And learning to let go, honor that, and make space for the right people is part of the journey.I talk about the importance of finding a tribe that supports who you are right now, friends who bring peace, share your values, and don’t require constant upkeep to feel close. Low-maintenance but high-quality friendships are what so many of us crave in this season. But here’s the truth…those types of relationships take time, effort, and a willingness to put yourself out there.If you’re feeling lonely or disconnected, I want this episode to remind you that you’re not alone and that you can create the community you’re longing for. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but the connection and support on the other side are so worth it. Let this be your nudge to go out and find your people.

In this episode, we’re breaking free from the grip of comparison. As women and mothers, it’s so easy to look around and feel like we’re falling behind or not doing enough. But here’s the truth, your journey is sacred, your timing is divine, and your gifts are meant to shine in your way.I talk about how to let go of measuring your life against someone else’s highlight reel, and instead, lean into the beauty of your own path however slow, messy, or different it may look. Your motherhood doesn’t have to mirror anyone else’s. You’re not here to live her life. You’re here to live yours.This episode is your permission slip to stop rushing, stop comparing, and start honoring the woman you are right now. 

In this episode, I’m giving you the pep talk you didn’t know you needed. We’re diving into what it really means to be proud of ourselves, not just for the big wins, but for the everyday things we do that often go unnoticed. From keeping our families going to holding everything together when no one else sees it, this is your reminder that those moments matter.I share how I’ve learned to acknowledge my own growth through the challenges of motherhood and womanhood, and how I continue to show up for myself, even when it’s hard. Because the truth is, no one’s coming to save us, we have to recognize our strength and celebrate ourselves.So let this be your sign to stop hiding, stop downplaying, and start owning who you are. Be proud out loud, girl. You deserve it.

In this episode, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough, toxic positivity in motherhood. You know, the pressure to always “look on the bright side,” be grateful for every messy moment, and never admit that you’re struggling. But here’s the truth: motherhood is hard, and pretending otherwise can make us feel isolated and even ashamed for having normal human emotions.I talk about how hard it can be to tell the difference between real encouragement and toxic positivity and I share some ways to spot it in your life. I also talk about how to create authentic, safe relationships where you can show up fully as yourself, no filters, no pressure to “be grateful,” just space to be real.Because you deserve to be heard, supported, and loved, even on your hardest days.

Let’s be real — motherhood isn’t always sunshine and schedules. Sometimes it’s sticky floors, toddler meltdowns, and wondering if you’ve had coffee or just reheated it three times. In this episode, I’m sharing some of the chaos I recently walked through with the kids — the kind of chaos that makes you want to cry… or laugh (maybe both at the same time).This one’s for the mamas deep in the thick of it — the ones pivoting constantly, surviving the mess, and doing their best even when it feels like a total sh*t show.You’re not alone, girl. I’m right there with you. Let’s laugh through it together.

Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also messy, overwhelming, and full of moments we don’t post on social media. In this episode, I open up about my own recent experience with mom guilt, the kind that creeps in and makes us question if we’re doing enough, being enough, or handling things the “right” way.Mom guilt can quietly take over the joy of raising our kids, but I want to remind you: losing your patience doesn’t make you a bad mom. Having a hard day doesn’t mean you’re failing. This season is tough, and you are allowed to be human in the midst of it.This episode is here to shed light on the real, raw moments of motherhood that often go unseen. I hope it inspires you to give yourself some grace, to remember that you’re doing the best you can and that is more than enough. From one mom to another, you’re doing a really good job.

When was the last time you had a good belly laugh? In this pep talk, I chat about how important it is to have FUN! Life can be so heavy at times, and it's nice to laugh a little and be around people that bring that out for you! Your kids are a perfect way to do this! Kids are silly and if we can get on their level to add some laughter and fun, it helps break up the seriousness of life. I hope you laugh this week! I hope it's a good laugh, too!

Summer is here, and let’s be real, it’s not all beach days and popsicles. If you’re like me, you’re juggling snacks, sunscreen, schedules, and sanity. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m actually doing this summer to thrive with all my kids at home. From simplifying our days to letting go of the pressure to be the “perfect summer mom,” I talk about the little shifts I’m making to create more joy and less stress.We dive into why building memories doesn’t have to mean doing it all and how sometimes, the best summer days are the ones where nothing goes as planned but everyone still laughs. Whether you’re crushing it or just hanging on, this is your reminder that even a hot mess summer can be full of love, connection, and real magic. You’ve got this, girl.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Valeria Arias, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to be a woman especially a mom in today’s world.Valeria dives deep into the real emotional and mental load we carry and reminds us that self-love and self-care aren’t luxuries, they’re necessities. She beautifully articulates how we can begin to take care of ourselves, honor our feelings, and move beyond the identity of being just a giver.You are more than what you do for others.You deserve to be poured into.You deserve joy, rest, connection, and care.You deserve a life that includes you.You can find Valeria on her IG at:https://www.instagram.com/ariaswellnessforwomen?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

In this pep talk, I go over how life can be so busy and ways we can create peace around this chaos. With kids and all the "to do's", it can be a lot of planning and making sure all the plates are spinning. I hope this episode encourages you and helps you know that sometimes it may mean we need to simplify life, instead of adding more to it.Hava a beauirful week, girl. Know that you are doing enough.Xo, Becca
