In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Brooke Romney, a writer and parenting expert who focuses on helping parents navigate the teenage years with confidence and grace. Brooke shares her journey from blogging about family activities to becoming a go-to resource for parents of teens, offering invaluable insights on building confidence, fostering independence, and maintaining strong relationships with our children as they grow. Key Takeaways: Evolution of purpose: Brooke's path from writing about family activities to addressing the unique challenges of parenting teens demonstrates how our callings can evolve over time. Confidence through action: True confidence comes from doing hard things and overcoming challenges, not from constant praise or shielding from difficulties. Empowering vs. rescuing: Parents should focus on empowering their children to handle challenges rather than always trying to rescue them from discomfort. Character-based compliments: Praise children for their character traits and efforts rather than just outcomes or innate abilities. Intentional parenting decisions: Make choices based on love and empowerment rather than fear and guilt. Social skills as learned abilities: Recognize that social confidence and skills can be developed with practice and guidance. Modeling growth mindset: Show children how to receive feedback and grow from challenges by doing so yourself. Actionable Tips: Encourage your teens to do things that feel hard, allowing them to build competence and confidence. When giving compliments, focus on internal qualities and character traits rather than just external achievements. Create opportunities for your children to contribute meaningfully at home and in their communities. Practice taking feedback gracefully and model how to grow from constructive criticism. When making parenting decisions, ask yourself if you're acting out of fear and guilt or love and empowerment. Help your children develop social skills and manners to increase their confidence in various situations. Allow your children to experience natural consequences and learn from their mistakes instead of always rescuing them. Resources Mentioned: Brooke's Instagram: @brookeromnywrites 52 Modern Manners for Teens  52 Modern Manners for Kids    Remember, building confidence in our teens starts with cultivating our own unshakable confidence as parents. By focusing on character development, providing opportunities for growth, and maintaining open communication, we can help our children navigate the challenging teen years with resilience and self-assurance.

Hey there, flourishers! Today, we're diving into something that's been on my mind a lot lately - and I bet it's been on yours too. We're talking about the secret sauce to entrepreneurial success that nobody seems to talk about enough: your network and community. Now, I know what you're thinking.

You'll hear about the ups, the downs, and the "aha" moments that changed everything for me. We're also diving into the power of podcasting (yep, just like what we're doing right now!) and how it can be a game-changer for building genuine connections. But don't worry if podcasting isn't your thing - I've got tips for building your network on any platform. By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable steps to start building your own flourishing community. We'll talk about how to: Start right where you are (because waiting for the "perfect" moment is so last year) Choose the right platform for you (hint: it's the one you'll actually use consistently) Engage authentically with your people (because nobody likes a robot) Provide real value that keeps them coming back for more So, whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for a while, this episode is packed with insights to help you build a business that not only makes money but also makes a difference.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of "She Builds Online." As we step into the new year, I've been doing a lot of reflection, and I want to share these insights with you in this episode. Looking back at the past year, it's been a whirlwind of accomplishments, growth, and valuable lessons. I've celebrated some big wins, and yes, faced a few challenges too. But each step has been a part of this incredible journey. I've learned that celebrating our achievements is just as important as learning from our mistakes. It's all about growth, right? As we look forward to 2024, I want to talk about setting specific, actionable goals. I know setting goals can sometimes feel daunting, especially if we've faced disappointments in the past. But I've realized that keeping our ambitions vague because we're afraid of failing isn't the answer. We need to set clear, defined goals and trace our progress towards them. One thing I've come to understand is that success isn't just the result of hard work. It's also about accepting and recognizing our inherent value and worth. That's why I encourage you to start seeing yourself as the successful person you aim to be. Imagine you're already there, and let this vision guide your actions and expectations. It's not just about what we do; it's about how we see ourselves and our potential. Before we dive into goal-setting, it's crucial to become centered and truly know who we are and who we aim to become. This understanding forms the foundation of our ambitions and aspirations. It's not just about setting targets; it's about aligning them with our true selves. I'm also thrilled to announce that we've rebranded the podcast to 'She Builds Online.' This change reflects our evolving journey together. This year, I'm committed to bringing you weekly episodes featuring incredible female entrepreneurs who will share their stories, inspire you, and offer strategic tips to help you grow your business online.

Emm is a real life Rockstar living in Los Angeles, singing her way to the top. She has been an inspiration to me as I watch the unfolding of her career. She is one of the most authentic and fascinating people I've met on the internet. I knew I needed to share her story and journey with all of its hustle, prayer and magic.  "I think every person has a right to be provided for as God's child. So I was like, you know what? I think God's going to take care of me. And I'm just going to speak that over myself until I believe that it's true because my faith is weak in this area. And I was just speaking that constantly. Twenty-four- seven, all the way to work. When I went to the bathroom at work, when people left the room at work, like all the time, I was speaking out loud and all the way home."

Not so fun anymore, is it? Sadly that's the world we live in and you have to learn to not let the egos of others hold you back from doing what you were put on this earth to do!

So why not take the goals and dreams we have for ourselves and create a powerful future memory? In today's episode I'm talking about why and how to make a future memory that will empower you to create the life of your dreams! 

Think the negative feedback is damaging? What if I told you the positive feedback is just as detrimental to the negative? It's true! When you build your reality on the feedback of others- good or bad- you are building a house of cards that will eventually fall. You have to own who you are from an internal and positive space- rather than one based on external circumstances and opinions. So- are you ready to ignore the positive feedback when showing up? 

I'm piggybacking off of last week's episode where I hope you felt inspired to take fast action and stop second guessing yourself.

You need to create positive habits around your content creation so you avoid the pitfalls of stalling when things don't go the way you'd planned! Tune in and let me know what you do to avoid obsessing over the analytics! 

I had no idea I was a perfectionist. I actually felt like I was quite the opposite my entire life. So imagine my surprise when I realized I was not immune from perfectionism!

It was the most counterproductive phase of my life and I'm sharing all about it on today's episode! Want to learn how to avoid analysis paralysis? Listen in!

In trying to gain mastery over my mind I allowed myself to have a glance at my journey.

I am striving to get back into the deep but am in the middle of the waves right now. Where are you? Share this episode on social and let's get social on Instagram and Facebook!

This is a really powerful episode- one that means a lot to me personally. I have shared faith filled episodes and know that many- if not all of my listeners are Christian women. I have shared a wide variety of subject matter but it is imperative that I share the deepest and truest parts of my faith and what has helped me to feel extreme joy in this life. Tara helps me explain things that are lifelines and tools to help us all to receive more clear inspiration, understand the power of our minds and how to create with God.

Today I'm talking about some perspective on the issue of human trafficking. Today, July 30th is World Day Against Human Trafficking and it's an important, vital issue to discuss the impact WE can make to eradicate this from our world. My approach goes beyond protests and will serve to empower you EVERY DAY in the decisions you make with your life to be a strong and powerful advocate for goodness. We can't fight fire with weak approaches- we have to bring our best. And to bring our best we have to DO our best to create lives that enable us to contribute to important causes like this! 

In today's episode, Mel Haskins and I are sharing about one of the people who meant a lot to us in her short life on earth. Whippycake has been on the podcast a couple of times, and now she's here again, but in a different spirit. Mel and I wanted to celebrate her life and share some of our precious memories with you, since she had such a lasting impact on our lives. I miss her SO much and am so grateful for the life she led to be an anchor to me and the best giggle companion EVER! We lost Whippy to cancer in March 2020 and soon after the COVID-19 crisis began, so we have not been able to process or mourn her loss appropriately. Tune in and celebrate her life alongside us. 

My the thoughts we think that can run away with us being drug behind like a jockey in a bad horse race! Today I had a stream of consciousness that was so destructive and I'm sharing a bit about it on the podcast! We ARE the habits we take part in every day. Changing for the better might feel "wrong" for a bit, but only because it's not familiar! Keep going even if it's not comfy. 

Yikes, ever had a life lesson hit you like a bag full of bricks on a slow Sunday morning? That's what happened this past weekend as I FINALLY got something that life has been trying to tell me for- well, forever.  We know murder is wrong. We know chocolate is good. But actually, chocolate is not good for everyone and not everyone even likes it. So in that regard, very few things are universally "wrong" and "right". Taking the moral approach out of it and down to a sense of wondering if there is a right or wrong way to build our lives, we can quickly see that we have been following a set of rules that do not apply and are actually holding us back from creating the lives we want! 

Today's episode is originally from my short-lived podcast, The Kirsten Tyrrel podcast.. may it rest in peace. I had some fantastic interviews on that show that you may have missed if you didn't subscribe to it! Today's is with a dear friend, Kate Call. We chat (ok we mostly giggle) about all things life, entrepreneurship and the journey to success.  If you've ever chased a big dream or even realized the fulfillment of a goal, only to realize you may want something different... tune in! 

This is a subject I could talk about for days, weeks, months and well- forever. I have always been an action taker and know that life is short and wonderful, and I don't want to look back and have regrets. On today's episode I am ranting with you about how silly it is that we wait so long, and put off the big dreams and goals we have for ourselves! There are parts of my life that I have held out sharing- thinking I couldn't be ALL of these things. And now I look into the past wondering WHAT IF I HAD JUST KEPT GOING?  I started out doing a daily IGTV every day this year. And I stopped because I was overwhelmed by how I would keep up with it. Could I create every day? What if I didn't want to? And here I am a month later, wishing I had never stopped. I'd be so much further in my journey if I had created daily content!  I give some tips on how to avoid this rut, so tune in! 

You may notice some changes here for the show! What once was Marvelous Moms Club is now simply, Marvelous with Kirsten Tyrrel. After many months-- ok YEARS of soul searching with this show, I realized it wasn't about the motherhood component of life that I was speaking to. It was to the ENTIRE woman and how powerful I know we all are! I almost ended this show forever, but I decided to transition it into something I think it was always meant to be! So subscribe if you haven't yet, and get ready to feel freakin' marvelous after you listen to every episode!

Happy Marvelous Monday! It's not very often that we get a grandma on the podcast, but today we have Marriann Hough, mother of nine and grandmother of 20! She's lived a little longer than some of us, and has some good tips for new moms and beyond.

Gratitude Service and much, much more. It's a nice long one for you! Don't forget to follow Marriann: Marriann's Instagram

Today's episode is with the lovely Nikki Elledge Brown, who describes herself as "a self-proclaimed word nerd, military spouse, former park ranger, college professor, and mom of two, known online for her quirky-yet-super-practical teaching style and refreshingly honest reflections on the realities of parenthood + entrepreneurship."

Today's episode is one that was originally going to air on the podcast "Full Time Family"- a whim I had months ago. I decided to instead present it as a series here within Marvelous Moms to keep all the great content in one easy to find place! This episode is also different than any we've had so far. The reason for that is because we have a mom AND a daughter talking with us!  Do you remember Alison Prince from episode 202? She's back today and has her daughter Makayla telling her side of the story. I love hearing this different perspective. It's always been the moms talking about their kids with no input from the other side, so this was fun! We talked about a bunch of things, including: An ultimatum from mom Selling $100,000 in nine months Knowing what you want to do with your life Understanding the value of money at a young age Freedom to choose any path you want Creating her OWN COURSE! I hope you enjoy listening to this fun chat between mother and daughter (and me!)   I want to hear from YOU my friend! Let's chat about this over on Instagram- @kirstentyrrel You can tag me or post and use #marvelousmomsclub so we can keep the conversation going. You know what?

It's Five Minute Friday! And today I have a little check in episode- letting you know how homeschool is really going. I get asked a lot how I am balancing this on top of everything else- and a few months in... this is the stone cold truth! 

Mommas! We have something really special to share on today's episode! Keia was on the podcast a couple of months ago and after our talk (and several others after it) we realized how much we wanted to work with each other! We have a shared passion for teaching others and we're sharing on this episode how we plan to do just that! 

Happy Monday, Marvelous Moms! Get ready to listen to the smooth sounds of Jadah's voice on the podcast today. This episode manages to be relaxing and inspiring at the same time 🤣 Here's the gist of our conversation: Not achieving business success until her third business try Gaining 355,000 email subscribers in two years Leaving a big business she helped create What she's reading Letting our kids feel validated and more, of course! As always, we hope your day is brightened by the podcast today. Don't forget to follow Jadah on Instagram and to check out her website. She's also provided a FREE 5-Step Build Your Challenge Roadmap.  

The other day during "chore time" my kids decided instead of taking 5 minutes to do something, they'd take 3 hours. This opened up the doors for a math lesson, a time management lesson, and even brought out the dominos for an object lesson in cause and effect! Listen in for five minutes to see how THESE five minutes changed their minds about chores!

Hey moms! Today is a BONUS episode- intended to be a Five Minute Friday but I had a LOT to say. This episode was recorded after a few others that are coming in the very near future- and you can FEEL the energy shift in my voice. And my voice is the exact topic of conversation today. I had a really amazing experience in Florida last month and wanted to share it publicly. And this is just one of many wonderful moments- but it was life changing and I never want to forget it!

Today's episode is one that was originally going to air on the podcast "Full Time Family"- a whim I had months ago. I decided to instead present it as a series here within Marvelous Moms to keep all the great content in one easy to find place! Kindle is my inspiration for the homeschool life we are living right now. She is THE person to follow and learn from if you are toying around with the idea, or need some empowerment as a homeschool mom. We covered a LOT of ground here and got pretty deep into our beliefs about the school system and why we are not just homeschooling to combat what we see are the FLAWS, but rather the beauty that we are finding and the positives in schooling our children from home. You may not know this- but all homeschool parents get asked the same basic questions and are met with the same reactions from parents who do not homeschool. I asked Kindle to debunk or demystify three of those main things we get asked about or the assumptions people make- and her answers were fantastic.

It's a Five Minute Friday yo! Today I'm talking (rather ranting and rambling) about my journey through self esteem, and how I went from a lazy teen to a self aware adult. I'm finally realizing now- how beauty isn't about the makeup, the clothes or the hair. It's about your light- who you are and really just BEING yourself. Cliche? Yep. But I'm ok with it- and I hope you glean something from this short episode! 

Hey everybody... aren't you so glad we're still here? Marvelous Moms Club has brought so much inspiration to thousands of people and I want it to continue as long as possible! Today I have my friend Renee on the podcast. She is FULL of said inspiration and she is marvelous to listen to. Here are some things we talked about: When she started thriving and wanted to share it with everyone else How she manages her time Books! Going from nothing to six figures in ten months!! Life on social media Making a difference in the lives of others Much more!   If this episode spoke to you in any way, please feel free to share if with your family and friends. Spread that inspiration like wildfire! Now that you're in love with Renee, don't forget to follow her on Instagram. Catch you all next week!   xoxo, Kirsten

I played with your heart momma! I told you we were ending the podcast a few episodes ago- and I am taking it back. Eating my words and changing my mind. I'm like a professional mind changer. But I promise it's for a good reason and I can't wait for you to listen to this episode. Making shifts to get into alignment is incredibly important! 

Hey Marvelous Moms! I've got my friend Steffanie Wing on the podcast today. Among other things, we discuss the oh-so-dreaded postpartum depression and anxiety. This topic will never not need to be talked about! Please join us and learn a thing or two. Follow Steffanie on on Instagram!

Hey Marvelous Moms! Today on the podcast I'm talking with a good friend of mine, Keia Blake. She is the kind of person who loves to learn and apply her knowledge to her daily life. We talk to a lot of moms on here who work from home. Did you know that it's possible to work a corporate job from home? That's right. You don't have to sit in an office building to be a loan officer (what Keia does) or something similar. We talk about that too! Hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, have a Marvelous day! Follow Keia on Instagram and on her website. 

Angie Chandler is on the podcast today! This episode sums up pretty well the whole point of the Marvelous Moms Club Podcast. I say that because Angie gives some really good parenting advice I hadn't thought of before! And, she also has found a way to use her passions to help others. Angie used to be a teacher. Now, instead of reaching just 22 students in a classroom, she reaches the lives of thousands! To find the "Mom store" pages we talk about in the episode, go to Angie's Etsy page. Check out Angie's website, and follow her on Instagram!  

It's hard to sum up this episode because Micala Quinn brings us personal stories as well as her business ventures. There's no shortage of inspiration for you today, that's for sure! Micala shares her story of losing a child, one that is never easy to share. She also tells us how she was able to start making money from home doing freelancing. This enables her to stay home and spend precious time with her children. We really hope you enjoy this one! Follow Micala on Instagram or check out her blog.

Finances. Maybe not your favorite part of life, but they're a big necessity to maintain. I've got Kumiko Love a.k.a. The Budget Mom on the podcast today, and she knows what it's like to be lost in your personal finances! Managing income, debt, bills, and everything else finance-related can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be! Listen to today's episode to find out how important it is to be comfortable with your finances. You will feel so much better once you have it all figured out! You can follow Kumiko on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or her blog!

Today I'm sharing about something super exciting that we are doing as a family, something I have been dreaming of for over 10 years!  That led me to think- how many of our dreams do we give up on when they haven't happened in a year, or even a few months?  Did you know it took Michelangelo 4 years to complete the Sistine Chapel? The coliseum took 10 years to finish, the leaning tower of Pisa took 199 years to be completed...  So, are you giving your big dreams long enough to come true? 

Do you ever wish you were one of "those families" that got to travel a lot? It seems impossible to do when you have kids, a demanding job, and so much more on your plate! I love my interview with Jen Brewer because her family has been able to travel many times even though her husband works full-time.  Are you curious how they do it? Tune in to find out!

I have created some really cruddy days for myself this week- and it all starts the night before. Today I'm sharing three tips for a MARVELOUS day, and how you can create these small shifts that give you the days you REALLY deserve as a mom! Listen in and share with a momma who needs to hear it! 

This episode will break your heart and put it back together. I don't know if I've said this before on here, but I wish I could hug each and every one of you, especially when you're going through the most difficult times in your lives! Today you get to listen to my talk with a good friend, Claire Aleman. She is a shining example of how you can live through loss. She teaches that it's possible for grief and happiness to exist at the same time. Feel free to follow Claire's Instagram or her blog!

Today is a quick and meaningful Five Minute Friday episode where I'm helping you to connect the past, present and future. Have you ever thought about what your future self would want you to know? What would you go back and tell the past version of yourself today? It's important that we have awareness and start taking action steps and loving ourselves NOW to become the women we are striving to be! 

Happy Monday, Marvelous moms! Betsy Mikesell is on the podcast today. This episode is awesome for at least two reasons: you'll realize that there are still problems to be solved that you can turn into a business, and you'll learn about an amazing kind of bedding (if you haven't already heard of it)! Betsy is the creator and CEO of Beddy's. Listen to our interview to hear her story! You can find Beddy's here. Betsy has a blog for her family, and you can also check out her personal Instagram or the Beddy's Instagram.

Have you had a desire to start a business? Do you already have one? What are you waiting for to take your big dream to the next level- or get started?  I'm participating in an AMAZING free online summit this month with Michelle Gifford and many other talented ladies called the Back to Business Summit!  I'm sharing on this episode about how CRUCIAL it is to listen to that call to CREATE! 

Today we have another awesome woman on the podcast! Her name is Katie Farrell and she is the creator of Dashing Dish. You might've seen the app or been to her website. She's done us all a favor and put meal planning, clean-eating recipes, tech-smart grocery lists, product recommendations, workouts, spiritual exercises, personalized coaching, and more, all in one convenient place. No more excuses! You can find Katie's website here, and check out her Instagram too!

Hey ladies! Today let's go a little "out there" and a little "woo woo" to discuss something that I have found to be a really big help to me. Raising your vibration. I have experienced this in many instances but lately I have noticed there are some really quick things you can do to raise your vibration and experience incomprehensible joy!  Listen in to hear about the first time a high vibration moment made me cry! 

More often than not, the things I talk about in my interviews with people end up being exactly what I needed to hear that day! Today's episode with Stephanie Sikora definitely came at the right time for me, and I have a feeling about 99% of you will be able to relate. You might be surprised at how "understood" you feel while listening! Stephanie helps people to simplify their lives so that they're not constantly feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the millions of things we have to do every single day as moms. Listen to get some pointers, and then when you feel inspired, check out her book here! You can follow Stephanie on Instagram or check out her blog.  

Hey mama- today on this episode I'm chatting with you- because you are my friend- to remind you that you are doing a FANTASTIC job of raising your family. We are setting the standard WAY too high and I don't know why we do that.  My parents didn't entertain me 24/7 and I have a really great, happy life. Anyone else?  Let's lower our standards a bit, give ourselves a break and know that even on our worst days we are doing better than we think! Happy August momma!   

Today I have a guest who grew up in Poland! Alex Rudnicka comes from a difficult background, made more so by her low self esteem. She wants you to know that if she can learn confidence and create a better life for herself, that you can, too!

It's full of supportive women cheering each other on, working through weakness, and best of all- it's totally FREE! I hope you see you in there soon! 

Hey Marvelous Moms - today's episode is really important. I talked with Roni Lambrecht, a wonderful mother who lost her only child. This topic is never easy for anyone but if you have kids you NEED to listen! Roni wants to share with everyone how she has been making it through her loss and how she lives without regrets. This episode will be one I come back to often because it's a reminder we need when we get caught up in life. If you'd like to follow Roni, you can find her on Instagram, her blog, or Facebook. She also has books on Amazon!

JoEllen is one of the most inspiring humans if you are looking to cut loose and get REALLY far out of your comfort zone! She's on the podcast today talking about how her family moved from the United States to New Zealand- and how that set off a chain of events that has taken them to 17+ countries! And now they are in the process of preparing to move to ITALY. You have to tune into this one my friends- it's SO good! Even if you can't pick up life and move across the world- it's inspiring to see how her perspective about other things in life shifted after they moved and embarked on a life of travel and adventure! ⁠  

Today on the fabulous FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY episode- I'm talking about how important CONNECTION is! You're going to hear me talk about this all day every day- because I really want the marvelous moms and listeners to KNOW they are capable of connecting to their purpose AND their families! Tune in and tell me what you think over on Instagram! 

I've got Allison Carter on the podcast today! Are you one of those moms who goes to Pinterest when you're trying to plan a party, but all you get is overwhelmed? There are endless pictures of perfect setups and clever themes, but does it actually help you get anywhere with the planning? Well, Allison has a natural gift for party planning and she has used it to create a business called Allison Carter Celebrates. She does all the hard work for you so you get to enjoy your children's birthdays without all the stress. I love this episode because it just proves again how we all have our different talents and strengths, and anyone can use their gifts to help other people.

Check out Allison's website, and take advantage of her free download: 5 Things Everyone Needs to Know Before Planning Their Next Party. You can also find her on Instagram!

We all realize we are learning far more from our children than they could ever learn from us, right? We are students to the best teachers around, these little people with so much purity and joy that we need to take time to really implement some of their amazing qualities- like forgiveness. Have you ever noticed how quickly kids forgive? Why are we so hard on ourselves for things they let go a long time ago? Today's episode is talking all about the power of forgiving just as little children! 

I've got Jennifer Zumbiel on the podcast today! She's a mom of four and the creator of an AWESOME family resource called Togather Moments. We're all moms and we're always looking for ways to connect with our children more. In today's episode we talk about how simple it really is to grow closer together as a family.  I just said it's simple, but sometimes we all need some help with any aspect of motherhood. Jennifer has a sample on her website that you can try! Click here to try the sample and see if her mealtime game is something that could help your family! You can find Jennifer on Instagram, Facebook, or on her website.

This episode is not what you may think it's about- today I'm talking about how we fall into the comparison trap that can make us absolutely MISERABLE! I'm sharing a perspective shift that can help you to look at others a little differently- and have the help of my friend Lyndy who wrote a beautiful song- Pick Flowers- available today on Spotify! 

I LOVE the word MOXIE- and in case you need a definition: force of character, determination, or nerve. Basically- you're tough and nothing is getting in your way. As Shauna looked to the future she became the epitome of MOXIE, which inspired the name of her company now- Making Moxie.  You should be imagining flappers and sassy women right now- women who aren't quiet. Sound like the day we live in now?   You can find Shauna on Instagram or on her website.

There are moments in motherhood that can be horrific and jaw-dropping in the moment that become the best stories later. This one put me at my wits' end as a young mother, but looking back now I can't help but laugh as I envision it all over again in my mind! If you're trying to "survive" any phase of parenting, this one is for you! 

Listen, we all think magic is something that happens when you wish upon a star, or requires large grandiose efforts. But what I'm discovering the longer I raise kids and reflect on my own childhood, is that magic is in the moments that create the memories! It doesn't require big trips to Disneyland, or a perfectly crafted adventure; it is many times just in the feelings and simple elements we can't even plan for! 

If you've been a listener for a while, you know I've given a go to homeschooling in the past. People like Cass Miller are what has inspired me to give it another shot! Cass decided she wanted something different for her life and her family's, so she stays home and teaches her children. Is homeschool something you've thought about, but you aren't sure? This episode will give you some great insight and motivation if you decide it's what is right for your family!   http://www.cassmiller.com/

I'm not a list making mom- I'm not a "planner person", and I lack a lot of the organizational skills that other women have to help them not go insane. At least that was the "old me". Now I am evolved and realizing how something as dreadful as making a to-do list or having structure can actually help me accomplish FAR more in my life! Today's Five Minute Friday should help you to see more clearly what needs to be done and how to get to it! 

Wow you guys, Alison is amazing! I was impressed just listening to her success as an entrepreneur and the businesses she's created, but when I heard what she's done with some of her kids, I was blown away! She has set the bar pretty high when it comes to setting your kids up for their own financial freedom. Don't we all want the peace of mind of knowing our kids will be grow up and be able to make a living? Why not start them young?! If you want to know what I'm talking about, just tune it to today's episode and see for yourself.   You can find the master class that Alison mentions by clicking here. You can also find Alison on Instagram!

Listen up mamas- I know I'm not alone in this. I thought teething and potty training were tough, but there are certain phases of motherhood nobody really talks about and you're not prepared for until they happen. The play date. Can we talk about it? I dread them, I feel guilty when we don't have enough of them and I think it gets in my head far more than it needs to! But surely you can agree in some way, right? It's one more layer of thinking that we sometimes just don't have capacity for after a day of using our superhero brains! I'd love to know how you feel about "the play date"... so go leave us a comment on Instagram and weigh in! 

Lahana, wife and mother of two, is the founder of Thrival Nutrition! She wanted to find a way to help women feed their families better. Once determined to become a doctor, she changed her path and became a certified nutritionist instead because she believes food is medicine! I found this interview very inspiring, and I know you will too! You can find Lahana at thrivalnutrition.com or on Instagram.

Welcome to the first of many Five Minute Friday segments on Marvelous Moms Club! Every week, tune in to a quick little episode to get you ready for the weekend! Today I'm sharing about the inner stoplight- and yes I just made it up. Life is all about the analogies ladies! We are built up of so many hopes, dreams, plans and responsibilities that we can sometimes forget to be in tune with or aware of the indicators all around us telling us when it's time to stop, slow down or GO. Tune in to learn more and leave a comment on Instagram telling us what you thought!

Today on this special Friday episode I'm talking about the trap that many moms fall into as a school year ends. We are all relieved for the break from packing lunches, signing papers, field trips etc. But we are also guilt ridden women who tend to look at what we did NOT accomplish through the year vs. what we DID.  I'm giving some trips and tricks to help you appreciate the last 9 months and own the amazing memories you made as a family and how YOU grew this year too!   

Michelle Bowler is an army wife and a mother to four girls! She wanted to create a way for women in situations similar to hers to feel connected. She created her own blog and podcast, The Waiting Warriors, as a place for "waiting wives" to find comfort and to know they're not alone. It's kind of like the Marvelous Moms Club, but especially for wives of military or first responders! This episode is so inspiring whether you are a waiting wife or not. As always, there is something for everyone to relate to. I hope you listen and enjoy!

Welcome to a special Mother's Day episode of the Marvelous Moms Club! You may have already noticed, we have gotten a little bit of a facelift- with a new logo and some new content!

I share the new Marvelous Moms Club mission statement and how my own perspective has changed since starting this "club" 3 1/2 years ago! Tune in to listen! 

Abby Chao believes that every child in America should have access to a college fund. With the insane cost of college, wouldn't you agree?!

She's made a name for herself with Senegence, the company that makes LipSense, and she has accomplished so much more. I hope you'll love listening to her experiences and advice as much as I did. You can learn something from her, whether you're in the same business realm or not! As a mom of two, she also knows just how important and challenging the role of mother is. What are you waiting for? Listen up!

Shae is one of the most amazing women I know and I fell in love with her accent first, her heart second and her sense of humor last but not least. You never know what's going to come out of her mouth- as you'll hear on this episode- and you will find she's the first person to catch you when you're falling. She's a mom of two teenage boys- so if that doesn't tell you how marvelous she is- I don't know what will. Find show notes at marvelousmomsclub.com  

Hey ladies! If you have been listening in real time for the last three years- you've noticed the absence of new episodes! In this episode I'm explaining where I've been and literally where I moved over the summer last year! I can't wait to catch up with you! 

Erin- I owe you one girl- because you are a saint! Erin was kind enough to let me interview her TWICE because our first interview from almost two years ago was corrupted! Here we are now though- sharing this fantastic interview with you! Erin is a mother I look up to SO much! She's not only a military wife, the most PATIENT mother I've ever seen in action but she's also an entrepreneur and the creator of MOMMI- with the most amazing healthy offerings for moms! Check out this episode- and go to the blog to get 20% off your first order from mommi.com! 

These two ladies are SO impressive and have turned their own personal struggles as women and mothers into a community that serves THOUSANDS of women!  I love a good pay it forward story as much as the next person, but when people stumble upon something simply by caring to help others- it gives me chills. These two sisters embarked on a diet challenge of sorts when each of them were experiencing their own set of struggles. They sacrificed to do it together and it ended up bringing them closer than ever. Listen in to hear them chat about their story and the birth of their movement- Strong Fit Mamas!   

Homemaker. Do you love that word or do you hate it a little? Most of us Marvelous Moms feel the pressure of keeping a home in order at least sometimes, right? For a lot of us, it's our "job." Kendra Hennessy is the owner of "Mother Like a Boss" and she is on the podcast today to tell us that we don't have to let this word define us! Also, we don't have to dread cleaning our houses and everything else that comes with the word "homemaker."

Not many of us can say we've been critiqued in the tabloids, but Melisa Osmond found herself in the spotlight in a very unwelcome way. She married into a well-known family (can you guess which one?) and lives a mostly normal life. She never imagined that strangers could be so mean online! Even if you haven't been the target of cyber-bullying, we've all been victim of negative criticism at some point or another. Melisa shares how she overcame the hate in today's episode! She knows what you've been through and can say "Me, too."

You're gonna love this one! Cat & Nat are the epitome of best mom friends. If you don't already know them, this episode will make you want to. "Momming" is better together!

Jen Riday is the host of a podcast called Vibrant Happy Women, and she is the epitome of that name! Ladies, be aware that major creative and special sparks flew during this episode. The synergy that can happen on a podcast interview is kind of amazing. I LOVED Jen when she interviewed me on her podcast, and loved her even more when I had the chance to chat with her for an episode of MY podcast! She is a remarkable insightful woman and you would be smart to follow her podcast as well as this one. We talked a lot about motherhood and how imperative it is that we create joy in the center of our homes. I LOVED how she compared mothers to the sun, with planets- our kids and spouses- orbiting around us, and how if we are happy it effects that orbit and energy. It's the phrase, happy wife happy life, right? But a lot more spectacular than that. The best thing that happened on this episode was the validation of how IMPORTANT it is to take care of myself before I can take care of my family. Following my dreams, passions and desires only makes me better, it doesn't take away that love I have for my children! Meditation is something I have been thinking about, as well as this craving for yoga, and Jen brought all of it right to me with her belief that an hour of yoga is as good as weekend away. Thank you Jen for having such a great conversation with me, sharing your insight as a mother of 6 children and proponent of happiness and vibrance!

Hey everyone! Today is a great one for all you foodies or moms wanting a little reset on your eating routine. I love Sam's tag line- you can't eat clean without getting dirty! If you think about it, most convenient food isn't messy. We gravitate to fast food and easy meals to prevent further work in the kitchen. Raise your hand if you've ever ordered in just because you CANNOT do another dish. My hand is up. I love stories that include someone finding silver lining in a hard situation. Sam had major digestive issues for most of her life, and as she got to the bottom of what was causing it, she developed a way to eat. And it hasn't only benefited her, but those around her and anyone who wants to take advantage of her research and planning! Tune in to listen to more and get started with Sam's meal planning subscription to help you make meal time healthy and easy!

Today you're going to hear a slightly different episode! I let the amazing Whippycake (remember her from episode 79?) interview ME on the podcast! In honor of International Women's Day I was really excited to share more about my own story as a mompreneur business owner! I love sharing stories of my guests and have been asked a lot lately to share more of my own background and what a day in the life is like for me! So sit back and relax and enjoy the fun twist on today's episode! Thank you Whippy for being an amazing host!!

Have I mentioned before how excited I am to have the means and time to travel the world? We're getting closer every day, and talking to people who are actually doing it keeps my fire lit! I had the chance to sit down with Jessica Gee from The Bucket List Family months ago while she was in Turkey! I was so pleasantly surprised to see how normal she and her family are, in spite of their extraordinary lifestyle! I was so inspired by Jessica and her family, as well as so impressed about how they spread their happiness with others. They are such a service oriented family and are spreading goodness all around the globe. Jessica and I talked about what it has been like traveling the world with two young children, and what she's looking forward to when they take a break from their travels. Thank you for taking time between ocean dives and safaris to chat with me Jessica! It was so fun!  

Today's episode is all me, your host, Kirsten (you know me, right?) sending my voice into cyberspace for you to listen. I'm sharing some pretty personal stuff about what life is looking like for me right now and how so many bumps and bruises have led me to a GLORIOUS rainfall! I used to hate rain...ok I still kind of hate rain. I'm a summer soul, born in June and I love the sunshine. Gloomy skies mean gloomy moods for me. So thankfully the rain I'm speaking of is hypothetical, and the best type of rain anyone can hope for. The rain of abundance. After spending a year working harder than I've ever worked, I am reaping some amazing rewards and I wanted to share that with you! It's only fair to get to hear the good stuff, after sharing some of the struggle along the way, right? I don't know that I've ever talked this long on my own without a guest, so I hope it proves how much I had in my heart to share! I've tried to record this a few times and today it flowed freely. So enjoy, find some inspiration (I hope) and peace, knowing that all hard work pays off! Have a marvelous day!

The internet is amazing friends- it makes it possible to make friends literally ANYWHERE in the world. And I didn't need to look far to find Allie- she's raising an adorable family in Arkansas, and I only stumbled upon her thanks to a blog post of hers that went viral recently. You've probably heard about her, or read about her rather. She solved every moms problem with her article, and I felt all the good feelings while chatting with her! I was literally thinking to myself the other day how much I hate picking up after my kids. How I know they can learn to pick up after themselves and it's an every day battle- but in the mean time I'm stuck doing it.  Allie had the same moment in her motherhood and stopped to problem solve rather than do what most of us do- follow the same pattern expecting a different result. She realized that the things she was cleaning up every day were her kids toys- and they had way too many of them. So she started on a path that led her to clearing out not only a toy haul, but all the clutter that inundated her life! It left her so bored that she had to change a few things in their family...and you'll have to listen to find out what I'm talking about!

You know those days as a mom when you are just melting into the floor in despair because you can't handle one more thing? The days you realize maybe you've taken on too much and need to quit it all just to be able to be the perfect mother? I know you've felt that way- whether or not you work or just take on a lot of extra responsibilities in your community, church, etc. The day I sat down to chat with Rhonna was one of those days for me. I had met her once before but it was an instant love, an immediate connection that I was BEYOND grateful to have. I knew before we even got Skype to work that it was going to lift my burden just to talk to her. And of course- she said all the right things and never once made me feel bad for feeling bad! As she went on to share some incredible, uplifting stories, she warmed my heart even more and helped me see that there is hope beyond my bad days. Rhonna is famous for her incredible app- Rhonna's Designs. It's been one of the most popular apps in the app store for three years now, and will change. your. life! She's SO talented and has evolved with her field even before it was ready to evolve. Basically she was a pioneer of digital media, online scrapbooking and frankly- doing a LOT with a little. In an era where it feels like we need ALL the things to be successful, this episode will ground you and help you to realize what is most important, how to make your dreams come true no matter what your circumstance- and it will just leave you feeling AWESOME. Rhonna is by far one of the wisest, sweetest women I've had the pleasure of knowing and I can't wait for you to get to know her more through this episode! Thank you for sharing your heart with us you beautiful woman! Keep up with Rhonna on Instagram and all the places- you won't be sorry!

Kindle is one of those people you just INSTANTLY love. It could be her charming demeanor, or the way she can melt your heart and make you laugh all in one sentence. Or maybe it's the fact that in spite of how incredible her story is, she's still relatable, in a really spectacular way. Whatever it is that makes me love her, I guarantee you will love her too! Her story is heart wrenching, faith testing and empowering, and she is the definition of Marvelous Mom. And here's what I want everyone to realize- being marvelous does not mean being perfect. It means fully embracing your motherhood, feeling gratitude for your children and your divine role as their mother. Grab a box of tissues and prepare to ugly cry. This is a story of faith in God, faith in the fact that He truly hears prayers and answers them, and that we are all worthy of amazing blessings!

Today's episode is short and sweet and might explain a little bit more about why I started Marvelous Moms and what the last year has been like for me personally!

Whether you are a new listener or old one, this is meant to inspire you and remind you that we are all human- but we are capable of being AMAZING MARVELOUS MOMS!

Several months ago I was on my favorite social media platform, Periscope, when a new person popped up and everyone invited me to watch her live streams. I had never heard of her, didn't know her story (because I was living under a rock somewhere that Instagram didn't exist apparently), but I instantly loved her. Who was this beautiful red head with five children, and how on earth did she seem so calm and sweet with FIVE children under the age of five running around? I got to know Emily a lot through watching her Periscopes, and we became "social media friends", which was wonderful. She would come on my periscopes and laugh and leave supportive comments as I tried to show everyone my make-up regimen that consisted of 3 year old lip liners and half broken brushes. I thought, hey, this girl is really sweet and fun, I should have her on the podcast sharing some mom tips since she's clearly got some things figured out to have had so many kids in such a short time! I had no idea, none whatsoever, that she was battling the hardest year of her life. Because I had been living under a rock, I had never read her blog, didn't know that her husband Martin was suffering from Stage 4 Melanoma. I didn't know that on top of taking care of five kids, she was taking care of a terminally ill husband, maintaining a blog and keeping a smile on her face. I just thought she was an adorable, carefree mom with the standard life we all seem to live. When I started reading more on her blog, I was devastated for her. I almost felt embarrassed that I had asked her to be on the podcast, not realizing how difficult life was for her. I watched with thousands of other people as her life continued to become weighed down with sorrow, and cried my eyes out when I found out her sweet husband had passed away just days before Father's Day. You never know how to talk to someone when they are in grief, or at least I don't. I prayed for Emily like everyone else, and let her know I was there. Fast forward a few months, and now I can't go a day without talking to her. She's become one of my soul sister friends, the kind that you just know you knew before. I'd always heard Emily was sweet and kind, but until I met her in real life, I didn't realize truly how special she is. And not only is she the most patient, mellow mother, she is HILARIOUS and we keep each other laughing on a daily basis, which I have always thought is the best medicine... Emily came to visit me this past weekend with all five of those amazing kids, and we stole a little time after they were all in bed to finally have this podcast interview. I'm honored to be able to share a little more insight into what the last year and a half were like for Emily, the moments she didn't feel ready to share on her blog, the stories behind the stories. I know it's been overwhelming to share everything in the middle of her turmoil, and she's always striven to keep her blog positive, faith-filled and amazing. So grab some tissues- I promise you will need them, and if you haven't already, prepare to fall head over heels in love with this absolutely Marvelous Mom, Emily Meyers. Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to catch all the new episodes! I love sharing these stories with you, and all of them hold a piece of my heart!
