    In today’s episode, we’re focusing on something that can truly shift your mood, energy, and overall state—daily self-check-ins. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re running on empty, this episode is for you.

    I’ll be walking you through a simple, three-question check-in practice that takes just a few minutes but can have a huge impact on how you feel throughout the day. We’ll dive into why it’s important to pause, reflect, and acknowledge how you’re really feeling, and I’ll share practical tips on how to easily build this practice into your daily routine.

    Whether you're brushing your teeth, waiting for your coffee, or squeezing in a quick moment between errands, this check-in routine will help you reconnect with yourself and find those small, actionable steps that can boost your mood, increase your energy, and lower stress.

    Tune in to learn how this easy practice can help you stay grounded and take better care of yourself, even during the busiest days. Let’s start making self-care a priority, one small check-in at a time.

    Go ahead and press play! And don’t forget to share how your check-ins are going with me on Instagram, a comment on Spotify, OR in a review on Apple Podcasts <3

    Always wishing you well,

  • 040 // Lean Into Falls Transformative Flow: 3 Seasonal Self-Care Tips for Stressed-Out Moms
    Sep 9 2024

    Send us a text

    Hey Mamas! Feeling a bit tense as we step into the fall season? But also feeling so ready for change? In this episode of the Solo & So Well Podcast, I share three practical tips to help you create a restorative seasonal self-care plan that aligns with the natural rhythm of fall. Fall is the perfect time to reset, recharge, and refocus on what truly matters as we head into the holidays and wrap up 2024.

    We'll explore how to:

    1. Let Go & Invite In: A guided journaling exercise to release what's no longer serving you and invite more of what you desire.
    2. Create a Movement Plan: Simple, achievable ways to incorporate movement into your day, boost your mood, and manage stress—even with a full schedule.
    3. Invest in Yourself: How to make small but impactful investments in your growth and well-being this season, aligned with where you are at and who you are becoming.

    These steps are all about finding more joy, peace, and fulfillment in and beyond motherhood. And, if you’re looking for even more support, don’t forget that today is the last day to get 20% off my 12-week 1:1 coaching program, 'Moms Time to Thrive.' Let’s work together to help you thrive, not just survive, as you close out this year strong!

    Tune in for this episode to start your fall transformation with confidence and clarity!

  • 039 // Confidence Isn’t Something You Get—It’s Something You Build: Practical Method to Boosting Confidence in Any Area of Your Life
    Sep 2 2024

    Send us a text

    Hey Mama!

    In this episode of the Solo & So Well podcast, I'm diving deep into the topic of self-confidence and why it’s something you build, not something you simply "get." If you're a mom feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in survival mode—especially if you’re holding down the fort while your partner is away for work—this episode is for you. Today, we explore why confidence is built through action, self-trust, and self-worth, and how these elements are essential for success in any area of life.

    Drawing from my own experience training for a Spartan race, I share the mindset shifts and practical steps that helped me push past self-doubt and build confidence from the ground up. Learn how to embrace imperfection, overcome fear of failure, and take consistent action to develop unshakeable confidence in motherhood and beyond. Whether you’re working on a new routine, parenting strategy, fitness goal, or stepping out of your comfort zone in any area of personal growth, this episode offers the inspiration and tools you need to move forward. And learn why showing up, even when it's messy, is the key to unlocking your fullest potential and thriving in and beyond motherhood.

    Tune in for actionable insights that will help you start building the confidence you deserve today!

  • 038 // Back-to-School Transition: Is It Time to Focus on You?
    Aug 26 2024

    Send us a text

    Hey Mama!

    How is the back to school transition going? How are you feeling heading into the last quarter of this year?

    It's mind blowing to me that summer is already over and 2024 is soon coming to an end! Like, HOW?!

    Last year, our oldest started kindergarten so it was the first time we were sending our kid "back to school". Needless to say, I was a MESS. I was excited, I was nervous, I had a lot of questions, concerns, doubts. I put an insane amount of pressure on myself to "get it together" and have motherhood all figured out before sending him off into the big world.

    I was less than a year post-partum with our third boy, my husband working away for weeks at a time, and to be honest, I was hanging on by a thread. Mood and energy was low, and I was feeling like I was at max capacity.

    It was exactly this time of year last year when I to leap of faith, invested in myself and hired a life coach - and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had already been in therapy for close to a year, and I can tell you, that 1:1 life coaching is next level support- and exactly what I needed to turn my life around in such a positive way.

    It allowed me to experience so much more peace, joy, and fulfillment in what I was finding to be such a challenging and hard season.

    I am filled with so much gratitude when I think about where I was, how I was feeling this time last year! So much growth and change has happened!

    At the beginning of 2024 I launched this podcast, and my own Life & Wellness Coaching Practice. I get to now Moms who are on their own a lot, and struggling - move from operating and parenting from survival mode, to beginning to thrive! In and beyond motherhood.

    Such a blessing, and I'm so honored to serve and support other Moms in this way!

    I believe you clicked on this episode for a reason, and this just might be the nudge you've been waiting for. Make sure you listen until the end to hear the special offer I have for you right now. And I encourage you to take some time to sit with yourself afterwards so tune and listen to where that nudge, that inner knowing is telling you.

    If it's to explore working with me, I can't wait to connect with you!

    Always wishing you well,

    xo

    And spoiler alert...Gloria also gifted us with a *BONUS* 5 Minute Self-Love Guided Meditation! And it's so lovely! You are going to want to save this episode so you can come back and marinate in it daily! Thanks Gloria!

  • 034 // (GUEST) Moms Need Play Too! Time to Release Perfectionism, Combat Overthinking, and Connect with Your Inner Child with Kara Latta
    Jul 29 2024

    Send us a text

    Hey Mama!

    Have you been feeling tight, rigid, irritable, and always in your head? Do you often over think things? And are you hard on yourself- when things aren't going the way you think they "should", or you think you should have done better?

    When is the last time you did something for fun? Just for the pure joy and thrill of it? Have you been feeling your inner child tapping on your shoulder and tugging at your heart to pay some attention to her? What does she need?

    Did you know play isn't just for kids? Moms really need it too! And not having enough of it may be a big factor into why your are feeling the way you are feeling right now.

    Join us for todays episode with Play and Mindset Coach Kara Latta!

    She is your partner in fun on the path to healing perfectionism and rekindling your playful, creative spirit. Kara’s message is that play is anything but fluffy; it’s the secret sauce to more health, confidence, creativity, and joy (science says so too!). It's also a powerful healing tool to help us release perfectionism and connect with our inner child.

    Learning to connect with my inner child and prioritize play more has benefited my life so much, and I know this is going to be really meaningful learning and work for you as well.

    And if you know of another Mom that needs to hear this, send it her way - let's bring more peace & joy into motherhood for as other mama's as possible.

    Oh, the ripple effect that will have, for generations to come!

    Always wishing you well,

    xo
