Expectations

Tomorrow we start a new Guided Journal topic just in time for holiday mania: Expectations! Why? Because we don’t want holiday mania. Starting this new Guided Journal topic is your declaration that you’re not going to be part of the holiday craziness this year. You’re going to set realistic expectations for your self, your kids, and events. It’s about you taking action and taking control of the holidays. Write down your fist thoughts on “expectations”…and join us back here tomorrow for more Guided Journal prompts as we strengthen ourselves, our families, and clarify our values together!

Thank You Day!

Our first bonus day each month is always thank you day. Send a note, card, text, email, make a phone call, tell someone in person—thank them for what they do and who they are in your life. Practicing this even just once a month can make a big impact over time…for the person your thanking and yourself.

Action Day 6, Ready

You’ve spent the whole month figuring out what speaks to your heart, what you can honestly afford, researching reputable charities, brainstorming with friends and family, and getting into the giving mindset. Today is the day all of this preparation comes into action. Solidify your giving plan before going into the month of December.

Write about what it took for you to feel “ready” to embrace philanthropy as a family value. Write about what you needed to prepare in order to feel “ready.” Reflect on how you (& your family’s) attitudes and beliefs about giving have changed over the month.

If you were interested in getting all your donations done before the holidays, today is the day to do it!

Action Day 5, Promote Again

Chances are high there is more than one organization or charity you and your family are passionate about. Talk about a new one today…promote it online or in person. Write a positive review for them online. Something that helps spread the word. Write about your efforts.

Action Day 4, Give

Donate as a gift. Either plan out your gifts (who the donations are for, what occasion, how much time/money/etc) or just do it…donate today and then write a note explaining your gift to the person it is in honor of.

You don’t have to wait until the week before a holiday or a birthday to make a donation of time, money, promotion, etc. You can do it now and save yourself the last minute rush when the deadline is fast approaching.

Action Day 3, Donate

Donate again. The action of donating and making an impact is not a one day event. Donate again today and write about it – how did it feel? Rushed? Pre-planned? Easy? Different than before? Write about it.

Action Day 2, Promote

Talking about charities, volunteer opportunities, and raising awareness should not be overlooked. Promote your favorite charity you’ve discovered this month. Write about it.

Action Day 1, Donate

Donate today. Take a look at your lists, your plans, your system, and put it into action. As moms we realize we can’t just let these good ideas, intentions, and lessons just sit in our heads…we have to put them into action! Write about what you did today to make your family’s philanthropy plan come to life!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for putting the “thanks” and the “giving” into Thanksgiving. Today is all about gratitude, family, and friends. The perfect time for reflection. Write about today. Your day, your feelings, who and what you’re grateful for, what you ate, anything that moves you.

And know that I’m grateful for you, yayas. I’m grateful every day to know that I’m not on this mothering journey alone, but that I walk every day alongside my sisters as we grow into the best version of ourselves. Sending you aloha!

November Week 4: Legacy in Action

Legacy is something that you are known for after you pass—something you leave behind for other people and/or organizations. This can look like money, work ethic, kindness, etc. It’s how your life and the way you lived it creates a positive impact after you’re gone. I consider a “living legacy” to be something you are known for while you are alive; the love, kindness, passion, and actions you’re known for now that will live beyond the now. It’s our everyday choices, mindset, and actions. This week will give us an opportunity to bring our thoughts on generosity into action. Do you want giving & philanthropy to be part of your living legacy?

I didn’t think I had so much unpacking to do, but I’m showing up and doing it. 

Grey is wild. I thought it was just a color. I was so, so wrong 🙏

The first online moms-night-in is this Friday on P The first online moms-night-in is this Friday on Patreon! 🥳

Here are some FAQ and answers about Patreon & the class: 

💜Do I have to be “on time”? No! The class is pre-recorded and evergreen. It can be watched over at http://patreon.com/elevatingmotherhood at anytime starting this Friday. Friday is just the posting day if you want to pre-plan. 

💜Who is teaching? Not me! Haha! 🙃Trained chef & teacher Kris Dovbniak is teaching us…I’m taking the class along with you! You’ll see me make everything alongside her in the video! 

💜Do I have to have all the supplies ready when I take the class? You can, but it’s up to you…you can just watch and learn or cook along with Kris and I. 

💜Where can I find the supply list? It’s already uploaded over on Patreon! 

💜Do you have to pay for the class? Yes…it’s $10 which is a steal for all the quality insight and info being shared! 

💜Can I watch it with my girlfriends? You know what…why not! The Elevating Motherhood community is all about sisterhood and learning together. So if you want to plan a moms night in with a few friends and learn and cook together, I say go for it! (Just tell me about it in the community over there!)

Please let me know in the comments if you have any more questions! Or slide into my DMs! 💕
I learned from Dr. Donna Lane that : “According I learned from Dr. Donna Lane that : “According to a 2016 study published by Whitney and Peterson, one in six kids between 6 and 17 have a mental health diagnosis. This was, of course, pre-COVID. A recent study in Psychiatric Times indicated that isolation and loneliness increase the risk of depression up to 9 years after the event, and the duration vs. the intensity of loneliness was more likely to cause long-term mental health issues.”

No wonder our children’s mental health is one of the main concerns of many moms I talk with. But there are so many stigmas around mental health and fear of diagnosis that it can be difficult to navigate the world of mental health for ourselves, let alone our children.

We’ve talked about adult mental health topics here on the podcast before, but today we’re turning our focus to children’s mental health. 

Dr. Donna’s messages are for moms of younger kids as well as moms of teens who are concerned about the isolation from peer relationships and how that’s affecting their kids, signs to look for, and how to reach out. There are some thorough and helpful links to resources in the show notes. 

Donna’s Bio: @thedoctorslane Drs. David and Donna Lane are a husband-wife counseling duo who specialize in trauma, grief, and loss as well as family relationships. While qualified by education, their life experience shapes much of their current-day work, as they have experienced first-hand the horrific death of their own son, who had a neurological disorder throughout his 17 years on earth. The Lanes are professors, counselors, consultants and award-winning authors; their research and writing on trauma and grief has been used extensively throughout the world in the aftermath of tragedies including the Sandy Hook shootings, Haiti earthquakes, Rwandan genocide and others. The Lanes live in the Atlanta area and have been married to each other for more than 40 years.

Tune in...and let’s talk about it more over on Patreon 😘

She chose to study them. I chose to support her. 💞 Learning happens everywhere. Homeschool isn’t about recreating the classroom at home 😘 

If you’re frustrated with homeschool, I highly recommend pajamas and podcasts and taking it easy 💗

It doesn’t matter what my homeschool planner says...it’s what they’re passionate about & motivated to learn. Friday it was architecture. Today it’s veterinary medicine.

We’re putting Elevating Motherhood into action o We’re putting Elevating Motherhood into action over on Patreon! 🥳 

I’ve been researching how & where to gather support for moms OFF of social media and Patreon is it! 🙌 

It’s an ad-free, no distraction space where we can gather, learn together, dive deep into topics, and just be with other moms in a positive, supportive place without all the nonsense! Like an online moms group 🥰

I’ll be hosting a monthly class there as well! 💜 A virtual “moms night in” once a month where we can gather and learn fun skills together and connect during this odd time of being apart. April’s class is “Elevating Your Everyday Cooking with Kris Dovbniak” on Friday, April 23rd 👩🏻‍🍳 It’s incredible!

This Patreon space is a collaboration of all my favorite things…hanging out with moms, having deep, meaningful conversations, and learning new skills with my friends! 💗

Join me over on Patreon! 😘www.patreon.com/elevatingmotherhood
Happy Easter! ✝️🐇🌷💗 Happy Easter! ✝️🐇🌷💗
