The Mindful Motherhood Podcast is all about taking time to stop, breathe, and be mindful.

I will teach a basic, centering mindfulness exercises and chat with other momma's about motherhood-related topics.

This boy loves to sink his hands down into the earth.

The more filth shoved up under his fingernails the wider the grin that spreads across his face.

If there were no sandy crumbles caked onto his scalp, I doubt he would be able to sleep at night.

Boys and dirt.

Can one exist without the other?

Methinks not.

I’m feeling a bit weary.

Weary because I’m knocking down an idol;
knocking down an idol is hard work.

I didn’t want to write this post, I wanted to just ignore the fact that I didn’t meet a deadline. I wanted to bank on the fact that no one would notice, that no one would care.

But on the off-chance that one momma out there might think to herself, “hmmm… I thought season 03. of the Mindful Motherhood podcast was supposed to drop today?” OR, more likely, in case even just one person reading this needs a word of truth about surrendering idols… here ya go!

I am currently voiceless. I lost my voice completely mid-week [last week] and spiraled into negative thoughts like:

“What if it never comes back?”
“What is a therapist/professor/podcaster to do without her voice!?”
“Who even am I without my voice?”

In the middle of this negative spiral, the Lord whispered to me… “you are My child.”

Mmmm, yeah.

If my voice never comes back - I am a child of God.
If I have to give up my therapy practice, teaching, podcasting - I am a child of God.
Who even am I without my voice? - I AM a CHILD of God!

I have worked to meet a bi-weekly deadline for episode releases for the last 2 years!!! And I met every single one!!! Even in the midst of resuming my therapy practice AND beginning teaching @ the University level.

Sheesh!

I didn’t even realize that this seemingly rational, life-sustaining need to push myself to make these “critical” deadlines was, in fact, an idol… parading around as “just another thing on the to-do list.”

Praise God for the clarity He has afforded me in the form of allowing me to become so sick that I couldn’t possibly make the self-imposed, life-sustaining, “critical” deadline.

Can I get an amen!?

Am I sad that episode 01. of season 03. isn’t releasing today? Heck yes!

Is it bothering me that season 03. will now have less episodes than the previous two seasons? Oh, for sure!

BUT, when the Lord tells me to do something, imma do it. Every. Single. Time.

I will be taking the entire month of October off to be sick, to heal, to let go, and to begin again.

Thanks in advance for extending grace.

Love you,

🤍

We had the most fun @ our buddy Jack’s the other day picking out natural stones with which to line the edge of the landscaping.

This seemingly menial task quickly became a series of meaningful moments that I will commit to memory. I found myself easily identifying the magic in the mundane.

We carefully washed each and every stone in the water to ensure it was perfect for our project (i.e. was it sparkly, shiny, and/or uniquely textured? If not see ya later! 👋🏻) and then loaded them up in the van.

Sometimes the struggle to find the magic in the mundane is real. It can be hard to shift our mindset away from the swirling and twirling negative thoughts, which so often consume our waking hours.

But every so often, the magic just seems to take over. One minute you’re plugging your way through an ordinary day, and the next you take inventory of the passage of time and find that you’ve spent an hour in the woods hunting for mushrooms with your littles.

In the moments where the mindset of finding magic in the mundane feels second nature, don’t guilt yourself for not finding it more often. Rather, relish those magical moments and commit them to memory.

Don’t promise to do it again tomorrow, challenge yourself to just savor.

The sheer act of savoring and committing to memory increases the likelihood that it will happen again.

No pressure, only enjoyment.

When was the last time you effortlessly found the magic in the mundane?

Take a minute to savor those moments.
Don’t place undue guilt; don’t promise to do it again.

Reflect back.
Find rest.
Enjoy.

This little rocky stretch of beach in Hawaii has become my “safe place.”

I’ve only physically been there once, but I’ve mindfully been there a thousand times.

On the hardest days, and in the darkest moments of my life, I have visited this beautiful shore…

I just close my eyes and challenge all 5 senses to explore.

I drink it in,
Sun on my skin,
Waves crashing,
Clouds dancing,
Salt-soaked air,
Wind in my hair.

I feel like I’m there.

With eyes closed, and mind open to surrendering negative aspects of the current experience, [no matter how horrific—i.e. my daughter near death in the PICU] I find myself able to mindfully occupy space in this beautiful place.

God met me here... In this moment pictured.
He revealed to me a sense of peace and calm, for which I had been deeply longing.
He gave me this moment of serenity and promised me that I would experience it again, and again… as often as I choose.

Mindfulness is as much a form of worship for me as it is an anxiety-reduction technique.

It is not a scary, empty-minded practice into which I enter without control over my thoughts and emotions.

It is communion with God, subsequent intentional releasing of negative thoughts and emotions, and a wash of neutral and/or positive thoughts and emotions.

It is a chance to allow the Holy Spirit to fill me with His love, joy, peace… characteristics I can only fully embody within His presence.

In His presence I am free.
Free to release,
Free to mindfully explore,
Free to rest and breathe and be.

What is your safe place?
Have you mindfully visited it?
Can you meet the Holy Spirit there?
