Going Grey: The Ups & Downs of Growing Out My Natu Going Grey: The Ups & Downs of Growing Out My Natural Hair at 40 My hair may be changing, but so am I. Growing out my grey is about soooooooo much more than hair. A year in, Iā€™m more genuinely confident ā€“that doesnā€™t mean I love every day, but my gosh, I see the growth literally and figuratively. I see the beauty and the potential. Maybe itā€™s because Iā€™m a mom, but I know how quickly this transition will fly by, even if it takes a few years. Are you growing out your grey? Thinking about it? Wonder why people are doing it!? Comment below and tell me! WhT curiosity is bringing you to this episode of @elevatingmotherhood šŸ™‚
One year. šŸ¤Æ I had no idea my hair could grow th One year. šŸ¤Æ I had no idea my hair could grow this much in one year. More importantly, I had no idea I could grow this much in one year šŸ’• Stay tuned for an @elevatingmotherhood podcast episode about why Iā€™m growing out my grey and what itā€™s been like...the good, the bad, the beautiful, & the ugly šŸ˜‰ #grombre #grombrehair #grombrĆ© #greyhair #greyhairdontcare #greyhairtransition #greyhairmovement #greyhaircolor #loribeth #mauimama #elevatingmotherhood #elevatingmotherhoodpodcast #silversisters #silversisters2020 #silversisters2021 #silversistersinternational #silversister #silversisterscommunity #grayhair #grayhairdontcare #grayhairtransition #grayhairmovement #grayhaircolor #grayhairrevolution #grayorgrey #naturalhair #nomorehairdye Hairstyle by @giovannabeauty šŸ„°
Have you thought about going back to school, pursu Have you thought about going back to school, pursuing your certification, degree, or even masters degree? šŸ¤” Or maybe youā€™re dreaming of starting a business or passion projectā€¦but youā€™re a mom and busy and life seems overwhelming as isā€¦so you question whether you can truly add one more thing to your plate financially, time wise, or even just mentally, emotionally, or physically. There are so many factors to consider when wondering if your dream can or should come to life. And right as you are working out the details in your head or journal, cue the mom guilt and imposter syndrome. But at the same time you look around and see that other moms are doing it or have done it. If you are anywhere on this journey toward making time for school, yourself, and/or your dreams, this episode is for you. Maui mama @malikadudley is with us in this episode to answer questions about her story that led her to obtaining her masters degree and starting a podcast called @communificationpodcast (all about the beautification of communication). All while mom-ing, working, and processing loss. She and I share about our masters degree journeysā€”and while we dive into the pragmatics of it (scheduling, cost, etc). youā€™ll see that this is a much bigger conversation than the questions and pros/cons list you might be compiling. At the end of our interview I was really struck by how much our journeys were about more than those initial lists in our headsā€¦when really it came down to alignment, learning about ourselves, our families and our communities. This conversation is a living, breathing example of what itā€™s like when moms take the time to show up and pursue their passions. So if youā€™re thinking about going for itā€”whatever that means for youā€”get ready! Youā€™re going to learn so much about yourself! šŸ’— #elevatingmotherhood #elevatingmotherhoodpodcast #communificationpodcast #malikadudley #loribeth #mauimama #mauimamas #mauipodcast #mauipodcaster #mauipodcasts #mauinokaoi #backtoschool #momlife #mastersdegree #momgoestocollege #momgoesbacktoschool

ā€œWe repeat what we donā€™t repair.ā€ ā€“ Christ ā€œWe repeat what we donā€™t repair.ā€ ā€“ Christine Langley-Obaugh This episode with @anndillard.lmft is one of my FAVORITES! šŸ”„ You donā€™t have to be a mom to a daughter to benefit from todayā€™s show. If youā€™re a woman, youā€™re already in a mother/daughter relationship (you are someoneā€™s daughter). If you are a mom to a girl, thereā€™s that dynamic, too. šŸ’• šŸ‘‰Iā€™m so curious! Which relationship dynamic or lens first drew you to this topic when you saw ā€œmother/daughter relationshipsā€ šŸ‘ˆ Comment below! Thatā€™s the interesting part of todayā€™s conversationā€¦weā€™re all bringing a different perspective to the table. Itā€™s like looking at our past (back at our childhood), looking at the now (and our childrenā€™s childhood as well as our current relationship with our own mothers), and into our future (what we want our relationship with our children to look like in the future, how we want our relationship with our own mothers to change, and even looking at future in-law relationships)ā€”all at the same time. The mother/daughter dynamic is so important in our everyday lives and in our society as a whole. šŸ’— Ann really taps into why that is, how we can heal every mother/daughter relationship in our lives, and offer us empowering, transformative insights into this vulnerable topic. šŸ™ Annā€™s Bio: Ann Dillard is the founder of KIP Consulting Services, LLC and passionate about instilling hope and empowering individuals to live their best lives. She operates a thriving private practice in Decatur, GA, where she offers mental health services to teens girls and their families.

#31weekspregnant #41yearsold I think I was ā€œsu #31weekspregnant #41yearsold I think I was ā€œsupposed toā€ be sharing more of this pregnancy, but this 4th baby has me doing all the mental and emotional work I need to do for our upcoming birth. Very private work. Work that has me resting when I need to rest & abandoning schedules & feelings of obligation. This pregnancy is sooooooo different. I feel more in tune, like I know what I need to focus on to prepare...none of which can be found in a book or well meaning advice. Is it the wisdom that comes with 4th pregnancy? Is it being in my 40s that has me feeling this way? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø No clue. Do I *need* to know? Probably not. šŸ˜‰ #mauimama #4thpregnancy #4kids #4kidsmama #loribeth #elevatingmotherhood #thirdtrimester #homebirth #peacefulpregnancy #babyontheway #girlmom #surprisegender #teamgreen #pregnancy #pregnancylife #pregnancyphoto #pregnancyjourney #pregnancytips #40andpregnant #40andfabulous #41andpregnant #babymama
Fear, comparison, feeling inadequate, overwhelm, e Fear, comparison, feeling inadequate, overwhelm, exhaustionā€¦there are so many factors in our lives that bring on feelings of wanting to shut down. Especially as moms. Life is good and hard at the same timeā€¦but how do we live in that dichotomy? How can we embrace the hard parts of life and the highlight reel moments and learn from all of them? Author and speaker @lisawhittle joins us in the latest episode of @elevatingmotherhood to share some ideas on this very subject. šŸ’• Lisa believes that two truths can be true at the same time.Ā Ā Things work together, even if they donā€™t seem to be working out. Our lives and circumstances are not either orā€¦šŸ’— I felt this conversation on a deep level wity the happenings of the world. What about you?

A guardian of my girls, protector of our animals, and friend to us all. šŸ„° The best dog decision we ever made was to ask long time (& new!) animal professional friends what breed they thought would be a good fit for our family and then go from there. These amazing humans connected us with this amazing dog. šŸ’™
