a low-stakes conversation on our low-tox household

Going low-tox can be so overwhelming.  It seems like anyone having these conversations is judgey and extreme.  I'm here to have a real conversation with y'all about things we do in our house to lower our toxic burden.  Why does it matter?  Your health is impacted by what you put in AND on your body, including your environment.  Don't feel like it's all or nothing - every change you make has an impact on your health.  Tune in to hear a little on this topic from one mama to another and then check out the resources below if you want more information from reliable sources!

to the mom having a hard day

Every mom has hard days and anyone you know that pretends otherwise is lying or in denial.  This is episode is for your hard day, to help you remember that it is just a moment and doesn't define your motherhood.  Come back and listen to this as often as you need to hear it and pass it on to your mom friends because you never know who might need to hear this today, too.

self-care for moms

If you hear the term, "self-care" and it makes you cringe, you're in the right place.  Same, girl.  Let's be real, moms don't have a lot of time for ourselves and some of us don't like bubble baths.  So what if we made self-care a lot more intentional and realistic?  Learn how to weave self-care into your rhythm of busy as a mom so that it feels more like a routine than a requirement when you're fed up and burnt out.  Plus, get some tangible ideas for self-care you can start right away.

maternity leave, my turn to leave

From a teaching career to running my business during nap time, it's been quite the ride.  Becoming a mom gave me the courage to pivot my entire life.  Ditching day care, anxiety, leaps of faith, and so much more are all a part of this story.  Tune in to find out how I went from a full-time elementary school teacher to owner of Kay the VA LLC.

let's wine + complain

If your kids whine, grab some wine and tune in.  We're leaving room for moms to share the hard stuff, because we all have hard stuff.  Two things can be true - motherhood can be joyful and have hard moments.  Gratitude for your kids in every season is so important, but we have to leave a little room to "complain", too.  The positive perspective I have on motherhood isn't negated when I have a moment of difficulty.  You're doing a great job, mama; we're in this together!

dad mode (marriage post-baby, feat. my husband)

Our very first guest episode and it's featuring none other than my husband and baby daddy, Jonathan.  To know him is to love him...and also laugh at - I MEAN WITH - him.  We're getting into the nitty gritty of fatherhood and how being a dad has changed his role as a husband.  This is an episode I'm so proud of and I know we'll cherish years from now.  I'm not crying, you're crying!
 
Love this episode?  (We sure did!)  Let me know by connecting on Instagram @kindmomsclubpod and/or @yourmomfriendkay and leaving a five-star rating on Apple Podcast and maybe a raving review about your new favorite mom friend!

my current cleaning routine as a wfh sahm

I am a stay-at-home mom, but I also work from home as a VA.  There's a lot going on around here.  Like, A LOT.  So here is my current cleaning routine, which I just started with full fidelity this month.  This is a new and different system for me that is helping me keep all of my tasks straight, make sure things are getting cycled through to keep things tidy around here, while also being realistic and leaving space for both real life and swapping things around.
