Moms, the PEACE and CALM isn't gone from your life forever. You may not recognize yourself since your mommyhood "transformation" and you may not remember the last time your house was quiet. The reality is when you are juggling household responsibilities, a career, finances, relationships, kids, social events and school activities-- that CALMNESS can melt into a full blow TANTRUM. It’s not easy striking a balance between meeting the endless needs of others and finding the much-needed time for yourself to replenish your reserves. What's a busy mom to do? On today's show, we'll give you the answers to the following: When should you say ‘yes’ and when should you say ‘no’? How is it possible to let go of guilt? How can you stop feeling selfish when you DO take time for yourself? When April O’Leary, Certified Life Coach, Founder of The University of Moms and mother of 3, talks about the importance of finding time for self-care and practical ways to stop yelling... she speaks from personal experience. As a former elementary school teacher turned at-home mother, April watched in dismay as her typically happy and carefree personality withered into oblivion... and she didn’t know why. After struggling with frustration, anger and resentment for years April learned the secret to GETTING OUT! Today April joins us on the live show to share her simple techniques for better self-care and her practical “Ride the Wave” strategy so anyone can get off the emotional roller coaster, stop yelling and create peace at home -- in just 90 seconds. Her practical and effective solutions to transform chaos into calm for today’s busy mom have been taught virtually to moms all over the world.
