Learning How To Create Authentic Joy Through Motherhood-Solo Episode Raw & Unedited

I recently attended a podcasting summit in LA called Her Turn To Podcast lead by the wonderful Cathy Heller. I had gained so many amazing takeaways from this summit and I do talk about some of them here on this episode. This episode looks a little different from some of my other episodes. I created this episode off the cusp and in live-time outside in nature while on a hike, with my two under two and my THREE dogs. Call me crazy (at least I felt like I was crazy at the time) but I’m glad I showed up and did it anyway… the hike and recording the episode.  This episode talks about how to create joy for yourself in motherhood. Sometime the focus gets prioritized on the kids and you find yourself asking “what do I even like?” or “what makes me happy?”, In this episode I discuss truly what brings me joy and how to still show up authentically for myself during the early seasons of motherhood. I explained that motherhood is not who I am but a part of me as a person and it is okay to prioritize what lights you up during this season. I started this podcast to bring me joy, to connect in community with other women, and to share their stories of courage, now it is time for me to shed some light on mine in this episode.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it for you. I am proud to show up messy and unedited. There are some parts that are hard to hear but I reiterated those moments in the very long intro…. A few takeaways from this episode: Do the thing that brings you joy The dream precedes the resources. Have the courage to chase the dream Its not about the outcome it is about the moment Self discovery is apart of the process Where is the last place you felt aligned and felt good? Slow down, meet God and create the download of what you are meant to share Instead of thinking you are behind, maybe you are ahead, maybe you are right where you are supposed to be Bless & release Don’t keep yourself small because it is comfortable  I would love for you to share with me something that you decided to do this week that makes you happy and brings you joy. I would love for you to share with me via email or message on Facebook or instagram.  Email: [email protected] Instagram: Kindredjourney Facebook: Lesley Alberts Thank you for joining me and listening to the Kindred Journey Podcast.
