Consistency, Accountability & Boundaries

This episode is about what happens when consistency finally clicks.

After recapping last week’s conversation, I break down what’s actually been working, and the answer wasn’t doing more, it was managing my time better. I’m sharing how structure, realistic expectations, and firm boundaries have helped me stay accountable, even when parenting makes consistency feel impossible.

We talk honestly about:

• Why time management is the foundation of consistency

• The challenge of staying accountable when kids need you

• How fully committing to boundaries changed the outcome

• Measuring success by progress, not perfection

This episode is for anyone trying to show up consistently while juggling real life. You don’t need a perfect system — you need boundaries that support the life you’re actually living.

Monday Mantra:

“Consistency is easier when my boundaries are clear.”

Tip of the Week:

Choose one boundary this week that protects your time or energy. Consistency grows when your limits are respected — especially by you.

Keeping It Consistent

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to stay consistent when life is changing around you. From launching a brand-new business, Lumina Boudoir, to welcoming a new “child” and adjusting daily rhythms, this season has required flexibility without losing focus.

I’m sharing how consistency doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly — it means continuing to show up, even when routines shift, priorities expand, and growth feels uncomfortable. We talk about building momentum without burnout, honoring progress in small steps, and trusting that steady effort compounds over time.

If you’re in a season of transition, expansion, or rebuilding, this episode is your reminder that consistency is the quiet power behind sustainable growth.

✨ Monday Mantra

“Growth doesn’t require perfection—only my willingness to keep showing up.”

🌱 Tip of the Week

Choose one small action today that aligns with who you’re becoming, not who you used to be. Growth compounds when you stop waiting for motivation and start honoring consistency.

New Year, New Season

This episode is a reflection, a celebration, and a reset.

I’m sharing my biggest wins from the past year — graduating with my Associate’s degree in Business Management, continuing to build and launch my businesses, stepping into unexpected creativity through DIY home projects, and officially enrolling in my Bachelor’s program.

We talk about what it really means to move forward without having everything figured out, how growth often comes quietly, and why entering a new season doesn’t require a complete reinvention — just intention.

This conversation is for anyone who:

• Survived a challenging year

• Made progress they didn’t stop to celebrate

• Is entering the new year with clarity instead of pressure

I also share my goals and intentions for the year ahead, focusing on alignment, consistency, and trusting the process.

✨ Monday Mantra:

“I don’t need a perfect plan to move forward. I trust myself to adjust as I go.”

✨ Tip of the Week:

Set intentions, not ultimatums. Choose one feeling you want to lead the year — and let your decisions follow.

Thank you for being here, for listening, and for growing alongside me.

New year. New season. Same heart.

This episode is a pause — a deep breath — and a thank you.

Three months ago, Mondays Are a Mother started as a space for honesty, healing, and showing up imperfectly. Since then, this podcast has grown into a community of listeners who reflect, challenge, and support one another through real life, real emotions, and real growth.

In this anniversary episode, I reflect on:

• What the last three months have taught me about consistency and courage
• How showing up even when it’s uncomfortable leads to transformation
• The power of community, feedback, and shared experiences
• How growth isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s quiet, steady, and intentional
• Gratitude for every listener who’s been here from the beginning and those who found the podcast along the way

This episode is about honoring progress over perfection and recognizing that growth happens one step — and one honest conversation — at a time.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started.

🌿 Monday Mantra

“I honor my growth, even when it happens slowly.”

💡 Tip of the Week

Measure progress by how you feel — not just by numbers.

Consistency, confidence, and clarity are wins too. Growth isn’t always visible, but it’s always valuable.

Full Circle Moments & Public Feuds ft. Brandi DeWalt

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by a very special guest — Brandi DeWalt, someone I grew up with and whose journey has been both familiar and inspiring. We dive into our shared past, how life shaped us in different directions, and the full-circle moment of reconnecting as grown women with new perspectives.

Brandi opens up about meeting her fiancé, what made him different, and how she knew she was finally walking into the relationship she deserved. We also get into the public wedding-planning feud that had everyone watching — what really happened, how she got through it, and what it taught her about boundaries, confidence, and protecting her peace.

Together, we talk about:

• Growing up together and seeing each other evolve
• Choosing healthy love after unhealthy patterns
• Navigating conflict when the whole world is watching
• The power of owning your story
• Knowing when to stop tolerating less than you deserve
• How friendships shift and deepen as we find our voice

This one is honest, warm, and a little messy — just like real life.

✨ Monday Mantra

“I am done entertaining anything that makes me feel small. I only accept what honors me, grows me, and matches the energy I give.”

💡 Tip of the Week

Start checking behavior instead of making excuses for it.

Communicate your standards once. If nothing changes, you change the access. Protect your peace before you protect anyone’s feelings.

This week on Mondays Are a Mother, we begin with a quick recap of last week’s powerful conversation about saying “no,” reclaiming respect, and stepping into our best selves. Then we shift into something timely — the Thanksgiving wave of family, familiarity, and reflection.

We talk about:

• Visiting family around Thanksgiving and navigating old dynamics
• How being around the people who knew you “before the glow up” can bring clarity
• The importance (and sometimes discomfort) of being held accountable by your community
• Why growth isn’t always gentle — sometimes it’s humbling
• Mini life updates: what’s new, what’s shifting, where the energy is going
• A little playful talk about flirting with familiar faces and revisiting old habits 👀
• Recognizing patterns as they emerge — and choosing whether to entertain them or evolve beyond them

This episode is a blend of honesty, humor, vulnerability, and self-awareness — reminding us that growth isn’t linear, and sometimes the people around us help us see ourselves more clearly than we’d like.

This week on Mondays Are a Mother, we’re stepping into self-respect, self-worth, and self-alignment. After last week’s conversation about boundaries and putting ourselves first, today we talk about the transformational moment when you finally decide: no more BS.

We unpack:

• what it looks like to hit emotional capacity

• rediscovering your groove and personal confidence

• recognizing where you’ve been too accommodating

• shifting from “I’ll deal with it” to “I’m done with it”

• changing how you show up in relationships and daily interactions

We also break down real, actionable steps to step into your best self, including setting non-negotiables, demanding respect, and letting go of guilt around saying no.

We end with:

Monday Mantra:

“This week, I choose me — boldly, unapologetically, and without guilt.”

Tip of the Week:

When you feel torn between being liked and being respected, choose respect — even from yourself.

If you’re ready to reclaim your power and protect your peace — this episode is your reset button.

This week’s episode dives deep into what it really means to put yourself first—and why so many of us struggle with it. If you’ve ever felt drained from doing the most for everyone else while leaving yourself last, this one is for you.

We’re talking about:

• The power of boundaries and how saying “no” is a form of self-respect
• Why being overly nice is costing you your peace, your energy, and your time
• Taking action on what you want instead of waiting for permission
• How choosing YOU first sets the tone for healthier relationships, stronger confidence, and more aligned decisions
• Why prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s a necessity

This episode is your reminder that you don’t always have to be the helper, the fixer, or the one who “keeps the peace.” Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is choose YOU.

✨ It’s time to stop shrinking, stop overgiving, and stop apologizing for needing what you need.

🎧 Tune in and let’s talk about:

Boundaries. Boldness. And building a life where you actually show up for yourself

🌿 Tip of the Week:

Schedule yourself in first.

Before you add work, kids, errands, and everyone else’s needs to your calendar, block out at least one non-negotiable moment that’s just for you.

A 20-minute walk, a quiet coffee, journaling — whatever fills your cup.

If it’s not on the schedule, it won’t happen.

Put you first, then let the world fit around that.

✨ Monday Mantra:

“I am worthy of the time, space, and care I give to everyone else.”
