Something Wicked This Way - Empty Shelves II Daily Mom Grinds -Balanced And Joyful Living For Working Mothers podcast

22:06

Today's episode is on the importance and benefits of Self Care. As I am editing, researching, and adding my references; I'm seeing heart wrenching stories that leave me feeling out of sorts. It almost feels like daily there is yet another unfortunate occurrence. The following 3 stories stick out to me: Shanquella Robinson's Death in Cabo, Father Believes Attack Was a Set Up Killer who stabbed 4 University of Idaho students still at large Father of ex-UVA football player accused of shooting 3 students speaks out I believe that right now, we should hug and love our family/loved ones. Life is so precious and it's a blessing to awaken and see each day. Some people won't get the opportunity. The question I think many of us should ask ourselves is how do we feel right now? If the answer is anything less than pretty good than maybe the next question should be what can I do to feel better? I believe that remembering to practice self-care like taking a walk, remembering to pray or even something as simple as getting plenty rest when we feel weary or anxious can go a long way in helping us to feel ok. These small self-care suggestions can be a start to feeling better. I believe that when we feel better, we are better able to manage our lives. I hope this show encourages you to check in with yourself regularly. I believe one of the best gifts we can all give ourselves this holiday season and beyond is the gift of self care. May we all take the time we need to be ok. What are your thoughts on self-care? I pray you have a peaceful and loving holiday....

10 Secrets to Becoming A Happy Working Mom - :) 32:51

10 Secrets to Becoming a "Happy Working Mom" Hello Daily Mom Grinds Friends & Fam: I hope everyone has made it through yet another blindly fast week. This show is probably one of my better lists of tips for the working mother. In this show, I share more personal stories of my own experiences on becoming a Happy Working Mom. 10 Secrets to Becoming a Happy Working Mom! Wouldn't it be lovely if we all could ditch work to spend time doing as we wish? Truthfully, we know and understand that most mothers work because it's a mandatory element in helping to support our families. If we take a look at the rising cost of raising children, most families require two parents to work and stay afloat in today's world. I feel it's easier to be honest on the reasons why moms work. Becoming a working mom may not be a fun thought, but if we make peace with having to work at least for now, the peace alone could be the start of a brighter career and work life. As we look at the many challenges of life, working mothers realize that as we move throughout our own journeys in motherhood, we realize that our lives are constantly changing. We also understand that what is today may not be our story tomorrow. We also recognize that we have the power to change our stories as working mothers. So, if we have the power to change our lives our next stories may be what dreams are made of. Maybe where some of us are with the work idea right now is only to prepare us for an even bigger/brighter future. (smile) Becoming a working mother does not have to be the story of pain or drudgery. It can be the start of a brighter future for us and our families. 10 Secrets to Becoming a Happy Working Mom! 1. Remember to celebrate your daily successes. Give yourself a kudo for achieving your daily goals. It takes a lot for the working mom to get up every day and manage everything we do and care for our children. I believe it's super important to allow yourself some joy (self pats on the back) for doing the job daily. 2. Do you enjoy your career or your 9 to 5? If you love what you do then Wonderful! If not, then it's time to look at your career and find out what it will take for your work to become more comfortable for you. Sometimes a change in hours may be just what's needed to bring a smile to your face. Spend time reviewing your work and your true feelings about it. Often, we spend a nice chunk of our day at work, so finding peace in this area will get you going in feeling better about your journey and goals as a working mom. 3. Do you have a dream, passion or hobby that you'd like to pursue? Is there anything specific that you feel could boost your joy? Maybe shifting your focus from your 9 to 5 to a favorite hobby would bring you happiness and create a new direction for you to consider with your career? For some moms something like returning to school, completing a short story that has been sitting incomplete on a desk or knitting baby booties could boost one's inner joy and confidence. 4. I try not to start my day without prayer/meditation. Letting go of anger, frustrations, and the quest to be a supermom can all be done during prayer time. Sometimes all that we do can truly become a heavy burden to carry. Can I simply raise my hand to say "Amen". When we spend time in prayer, we can let every worry and care of the day go. We can give our concerns to God and release the burden. Have you tried prayer/meditation? 5. Don't forget to ask for assistance when you need it? Rest should be mandatory for every working mother. Often in our busy hectic lives it's what we get the least. Remember not to feel bad when it's time to ask for help. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when we try to manage everything on our own. We can work more efficiently when we have properly rested; it’s so important to remember to rest when you feel weary. 6. There is beauty in learning the power of acceptance. So maybe you are not crazy about working and raising a family, there is no rule that says you can't make your work situation better. You can make peace with your work or make a change. Just making the change could be exactly what you need to become a happy working mom. 7. Spend time with your children, allowing their youthfulness and laughter to bring you joy. Schedule time to hang out with your kiddos, even the older ones have thoughts that could bring you tears of joy . Consider allowing the little ones in your life to bring you the light of joy. 8. Schedule self-care (take time out for you). Check out a previous show we did called: 10 ways to Kick Stress and Find Joy. The show was created to provide fun ways to practice Self-Care. Every working mom should have a short list of Self-Care. 9. Remember to take care of your body. Do you remember the old commercial titled "Milk it does the body good"? Taking care of your body is so important. Drinking water, eating right, being active, proper resting and staying current with your health checkups ect will all help your body in the long run. Being healthy will also help you to get through the more challenging days of being a Working Mom. (#9 Special Note) Neither the Daily Mom Grinds Team/ nor Alicia Rachell are medical professionals. These ideas are meant for entertainment purposes only. The ideas on this show are our views only. Please consult your medical provider on any health concerns that you have. I have included an article on the dangers of not getting enough sleep. Check it out here: Sleep Deprivation | Johns Hopkins Medicine 10. Delegate & Set Boundaries.... This one says it all. By delegating you will cut down your stress. Setting boundaries will also help you to feel better when you feel pressed to do more than you chose to do. Bonus: Please remember that even though you are on the path to becoming A Happy Working Mom ...life will happen. There will be good and bad days. Practice the art of accepting and knowing there will be days that will not be Happy, and you learn to find peace even on the rocky days. By A.

A Wedding... New Home... & New Baby - God’s Timing (Single Moms) 26:20

26:20

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. This show is a special one, because I get to share the beautiful story of a dear sister friends recent blessing. She just shared her testimony of marriage, closed on her home and is expecting next month. We no longer live near one another (1 hour or so away). We would do the playdates but after her move we stayed in touch by talk/text. I had started reaching out to her and was unable to reach her at first. I found that she was unpacking in her new home as she apologized for being out of touch. I wanted to share her story to shed a beautiful light on Single Mothers finding love in life. My dear friend reminds us of how important it is for us to work in God's time frame. God can connect us with a soulmate, dream job etc....? Do you believe? It's truly an amazing testimony. So often we hear of sad dark stories, of Single Motherhood. So, I feel so honored to share the story of my dear friends true blessing from God. It's so fitting to share, as she was one of my first listeners, when I created my first podcast in 2017 called: Joy on the Incline - From Adversity to Greatness. If you enjoy this show, please like and share. Blessing Your Host ~ Alicia Rachell…

Today's Message is extremely important and in my opinion should be shared with everyone. Please share this message it could save a life. Human trafficking is on the rise. The wicked individuals that kidnap women, men and children by trading bodies illegally is one of the most heinous crimes. Trafficking is an evil activity that is often tough to report due to the nature of the crime, but we must stay aware of the dangers that surround us. Knowing what is going on in the world can help us protect our family and community. Today I received information that I realized would need to get out to everyone immediately. A Daily Mom Grinds Mom received information on human traffickers using zip ties as one of the ways to identify potential victims. Please listen to this episode and share with friends, family and loved ones. Here is a list of the links referenced.

Hello All, I hope everyone listening far and wide is well. There is so much going on in the world today. Our world is rapidly changing and it can be tough to keep an eye on it all. Some of us have been given the request to awaken others. Those of us who have been tasked to awaken others can see things that others may not see. We try not to bring doom and gloom, but we try to share so that others are not taken by surprised as the changes come upon us. Those of us who receive prophetic messages, sometimes receive dreams and visions that are extremely powerful and heart wrenching. Please pray for discernment on anything that you don't understand so that you can find peace in your spirit when receiving information. I pray that whatever information you find on our podcast will help to inform and uplift you to stay prepared/aware.

Please share your comments by visiting Dailymongrinds.net using the contact us page. Link in this article.. Thank you "I Have Slept With Many Of My Cousins!" Kabi Wa Jesus Finally Comes Clean (Video) Hello All, I hope you are doing well. Today's show is really on what happens when our children visit with family and friends outside of the home. In light of the article, I ran into, I thought about how many families have had to deal with these types of issues. These are tough subjects and I believe this is why we must keep a closer watcher on our children. If you have not gotten a chance, please listen to an older show I created called, The Pied Pipers- Agents Amongst Our Youth. To me a Pied Piper is anyone who can expose our children to harm. How do we, as busy parents today, keep our children and youth safe? Is the answer helicopter parenting with balance, communication and love? Whatever we as parents choose to do, I believe it's important to develop a strategy of equipping our children in dealing with issues like what the YouTuber - Kabi Wa Jesus dealt with.
