Productively Present Parenting for Mompreneurs

Let’s imagine that it's the first day of the year and you feel the pull to create big, bad, hairy, audacious goals. The problem is looking at what you want to accomplish reminds you of what you didn't actually accomplish last year. But don't worry, statistics show that you're not alone. We are not alone. Everyone has grand ambitions as the clock strikes midnight on 12/31. On December 31, right, the gyms are packed the first few weeks of January and by February, those same gyms are running...

What is Guaranteed? Strategy #4 is Money. Employment has never been guaranteed. Job volatility has always been around. There are times when our economy does well and then there are times when it does poorly. When we’re in a good place, you make money, pay bills, and make tiny bits of progress toward their big financial goals. But it’s never perfect nor will it ever. Do you have a plan for when things change drastically? Right now we're seeing a lot of problems in the job industry. There's...

There Is No "Right" Time to Follow Your Dreams I know. It's kind of a sad reality check right there to hear that, but it's the truth. There's always going to be another reason why your goals are going to need to take the backseat. There's going to be another baby (that happened to me - our third baby was a total surprise). There's going to be toddlerhood, you're going to have a spirited child, one of your children will be more difficult than the other. There's going to be sports when they...

How Modernization Has Changed Life When you have constant access to the internet, that means you can constantly work and that also means that your employer can constantly contact you and expect a really quick response. The problem with that is that you're working more and probably getting paid the same. You're not able to create the true American dream that you want, because you might have your white picket fence and you might have your fully loaded SUV, but you're working so much to pay...

In this episode we're going to spend some time talking about marriage. It's not a topic I cover often because marriage is one of those tricky subjects that none of us are really experts in. And however, I have a friend named Cindy Maxwell, who's on this episode with me today and I want to have her share her wisdom because she was the one who pointed me in the direction of a book called love and respect. By Dr. Emerson Eggeret. I hope I said his name correctly. So I just want to tell you a...

SuperMom is real. You are SuperMom. I am SuperMom. Let me tell you just one SuperMom story… After months of being unable to get out of the house and weeks of being unable to get out of bed due to the onset of severe vertigo after the birth of our third child in 2014, I was resentful. Prior to the onset of my affliction, I had all the perfect systems and routines in place in our lives. A bout with vestibular neuritis left me unable to maintain my normal life--and that meant SuperMom had...

There are a lot of ways to get through life but not all of them are ideal. The words mom and overwhelm are so connected that being overwhelmed is just an expectation. It is considered normal. Overwhelm isn't a feeling we should experience persistently as we navigate life. If you are overwhelmed and you know you don't want to exist in such a negative state as you go through your life as a mom, then you are in good company. Crunchy SuperMom has built a community of like-minded moms who just...

There are so many ways to get a fresh start, but a few things that have always been part of my ending/beginning a new routine ritual include ending the time period with a grocery spending freeze, a money leak scavenger hunt, Inbox purge, and a lot of planning and goal-setting exercises.

With a clear plan of action, your responsibility is to take those action steps every day. I say this a lot on the Crunchy SuperMom show- it is more painful to skip a step than it is to power through and do the step today. An example: I had the flu worse than I’d ever had the flu before- so I had the choice one morning- throw a rock solid frozen whole chicken into the instant pot--which was above the refrigerator...and you know how painful it is to change the position of your head when it is...

I never felt like I was failing at motherhood until my third pregnancy was followed by a debilitating chronic illness the same year my husband spent his career traveling, leaving me to solo-parent all three of our kids. ALL I DID WAS LIE IN BED AND WATCH THE ROOM SPIN DREADING THE MOMENT ONE OF THE SMALL VOICES WOULD CALL OUT TO ME-- BECAUSE I COULDN’T COME, EVEN IF I TRIED. MY HOUSE FELL TO PIECES. BELIEVING IT WOULD END “ANY DAY NOW”, WE MADE THE BEST OF IT. And really that just meant...

How many of you all have ever looked at other moms and thought, “well, she looks perfect so of course, she can get everything done and still have time to be the best mom!" If you have, you’re not alone. It is easy to judge by what we see on the outside and assume the success another mom has isn’t something we can have for ourselves. And the story behind why Sarah started Crunchy Super Mom really began with a huge struggle that is similar to any struggle moms overcome. I wasn’t always...

We want to help you realize that you can make memories and establish traditions that will help your family stay close no matter how old your kids are. Traditions are so important for families and especially children. Research is showing that traditions help build resilience in children. Often traditions revolve around the seasons of the year, but they don’t have to just be seasonal or related to a holiday. You can create daily or weekly traditions like the ones we mentioned on the show. On...
