076: Leaving It Behind in 2020

Now that we’re in our own home again, and Milo is growing older, I’m thinking more and more about traditions.    Our calendar felt devoid of special celebrations this year.

075: Creating Our Own Family Traditions

We're smack dab in the middle of giving season, and I'm facing off with my tendency to hold back the best of myself.  The quick convergence of marriage, motherhood and modern home economics was disorienting, and all of the responsibilities felt too heavy to hold.  So, I got into the habit of giving sparingly. Begrudgingly even. In the name of self preservation.  But now that I am resurfacing from the depths of early postpartum, I am ready to enter a new paradigm. And in this solo show episode of Young Honest Mother: The Podcast, I explore how I am rethinking what it means to give.    SHOP SAFER PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS FOR YOUR INTERIOR DESIGN MOMENTS www.youngbeautycounter.com   INTERESTED IN CREATING ANOTHER STREAM OF INCOME THAT YOU CAN BUILD ALONGSIDE TENDING TO YOUR FAMILY?

In all honesty, I am terrible at doing laundry.  I’ve ruined more of my husband’s clothes than I really care to count, and it’s been a very sore subject that’s haunted us throughout our nearly decade-long relationship. Every couple of weeks, my laundry transgressions pile up again and launch us into an age-old cycle of discussions that have never really moved the needle.  Until recently. And in Ep. 072 of Young Honest Mother: The Podcast, I’m airing my dirty laundry as I reflect on what shifted us out of the conversational rut that kept us overlooking the heart of the matter.  Press play to tune in.

“So, when are you going to have another baby?” It’s a loaded question that’s been aimed at my heart since Milo was literally just a few days old.  Deciding whether or not to grow your family can involve so many factors. And after an extraordinarily disorienting postpartum experience, it’s been extremely challenging to find clarity about our family’s size.  But the other day, I had a simple, yet earth-shattering revelation that has completely shifted perspective on having another baby. It’s brought me such compassion for my younger self and peace about our future journey, that I decided to share my musings with you in this very personal solo show episode.  Press play to tune in.    Many thanks to DRAM Apothecary for sponsoring this episode!

065: Setting Down Preconceived Notions About Growing Our Family

This week on Young Honest Mother: The Podcast, we’re revisiting an honest conversation that was originally recorded and published in 2019.    I met Ashleigh in the comments section of one of @elizabeth_gilbert_writer’s Instagram posts about universal human compassion. She shared about how her family started thriving again after “doing a 180 from martyrmom to selfish mom.”    During this time, when the responsibilities of parents have multiplied in response to the pandemic, I think it’s critical to slow down and re-evaluate how we’re choosing to take on the tasks of marriage, motherhood and modern home economics. And this already-published episode serves as such a poignant reminder.    In Ep. 064, Ashleigh shares how she: Eased up on upholding the highest level of difficulty  Gave herself permission to have emotional needs Uncovered ways to love herself better by releasing judgment Shifted her family dynamic in a magical way   And so. much. more. Press play to listen to this raw and honest conversation, and listen to the journey that Ashleigh has now chronicled in her upcoming memoir.    Many thanks to DRAM Apothecary for sponsoring this episode!   USE CODE ‘YHM’ FOR 20% OFF YOUR FIRST DRAM ORDER https://bit.ly/2DRDI1c    PURCHASE THE “HOW TO HAVE AN HONEST CONVERSATION” eBOOK: https://bit.ly/30jppLH    BEAUTY IN ALL HONESTY FB COMMUNITY:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/655734375196930/ YOUNG HONEST MOTHERHOOD FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/younghonestmotherhood/ YOUNG HONEST MOTHER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/younghonestmother/   YOUNG HONEST MOTHER SHOW NOTES:  https://younghonestmother.com/ep-064-revisiting-liberating-the-martyrmom/

In July 2020, there was an uptick in honest conversations around the human trafficking of youth. There were social media campaigns, marches and exposés coordinated to raise awareness. But I wanted to find a way to move this discussion beyond a hashtag, a shirt color, a social media post. I wanted to uncover practical ways that we can affect long-lasting change in the fight to free youth from sex trafficking.  So, I asked you to submit your burning questions about this cause, and then I reached out to Traffick911, the only child sex trafficking advocacy agency serving all of North Texas, to help me answer them.  And I had the opportunity to interview their Voice & Choice Community Program Coordinator, April Barker.   In Ep. 063, April shares: How sex trafficking is a symptom of relational brokenness 3 steps to help prevent more children from being exploited Trafficking signs to look out for and what to do when you spot them How parents can coach their kids to be safe online How to determine which advocacy organizations are actually trustworthy   And so. much. more.

Faced with the opportunity to remain invested in the joys of being a teenager, Amanda chose to do all that she could to provide for her daughters.
