This episode is 2-fold given the situation happening right now. This episode is about our journey of pursuing less (things) in the Sims household over the last 4 years and how freeing it can be to let things go. This episode came at the perfect time because we are stuck in our houses 😅.Does your home cause you stress and anxiety or is it your place of peace and comfort? Does your home overwhelm you or is it a place of rest? We are still on this journey of pursuing less but it has caused our life and my motherhood to be so much lighter and more enjoyable. It was something I didn't even know I needed and I'm excited to share it with you.I also talk about teaching kids at home when you aren't a teacher. I feel comfortable with what's happening because I'm a teacher but I know some mamas are feeling anxious about keeping up with all the academics and making sure their kids don't fall behind during this time. I got you. I talk through some things to remember during these next 3 weeks (or possibly more).SHOW NOTESYale study (It can literally hurt to let things go)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3506167/Princeton University study (affect ability to focus)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21228167Clutter raises cortisol levelshttp://magazine.ucla.edu/features/the-clutter-culture/index.htmlEducation appsReadingReadinga-z.comHomerMathSplashMathDreamboxTechnologyKodable
Om Podcasten
The Legacy through Motherhood podcast has a basic mission of generational change. We will be having conversations that center around 5 main topics: Faith, Finances, Health, Mindset and Marriage. Some of us are fortunate enough to have exemplary role models in one or more of these areas, while others are not.
When it comes to these topics, I think we all share the same desire to see our children succeed, especially in areas we struggle with- but how? How do we teach them to be successful in areas we haven't figured out for ourselves? How do we model, teach, train and equip our children to succeed when we do not have an accessible role model for marriage, healthy finances or whatever it might be? How do we make the time to intentionally leave the legacy that we want to leave for our children? How do we break strongholds and generational cycles when we still feel the weight and challenges of them?
This podcast will be full of practical ideas, empowering stories, guest speakers, biblical and scientific proof behind different topics, resource recommendations, and so much more. My promise to you is to help you find your grit as a mama while covering you in grace. Would you join me as we learn how to leave the legacy that we WANT to leave for our children? We WILL do this by challenging ourselves and by ultimately passing our knowledge onto our children.
I can't wait to continue this conversation! And girl, don’t forget as you go into this day, whatever goal you are pursuing or whatever area you are struggling with - you are already enough.
