Real Happy Mom
Hey there, mom! Are you juggling all the things in motherhood from managing your time, getting healthy meals on the table, to being a present wife all while making yourself a priority without feeling guilty? I get it! It’s overwhelming... and guess what? The fact that you need support... doesn’t make you a bad mom! That’s why I created the Real Happy Mom Podcast. The Real Happy Mom Podcast is a weekly show for busy working moms juggling it all. Each week, I’m bringing you inspirational stories from real-life moms as well as interviews with leading experts in various fields to encourage you on your motherhood journey and help you live an authentic life. In this podcast we will not only navigate motherhood by talking about time management, gentle parenting and self-care. But we will also go deep into topics you may have been afraid to explore, like intimacy with your spouse, communication with your kids, health, wellness and frustrations that come through inner confidence as a mom and wife. Mom life is beautiful and fun, but it's also challenging and messy at times. Motherhood is the one job that we don't get proper training or an instruction manual when we come home with our new baby. Every day is on the job training. I’m here to help you navigate motherhood that's true to you so that you can be a real happy mom. Welcome to the Real Happy Mom Podcast, mom friend! You are in the right place. Learn -- www.realhappymom.com | Be a Guest- www.realhappymom.com/guest

You are tuned in to The Real Happy Mom podcast. I'm Toni-Ann, and this is Holiday Voices. This is a special series where moms share quick tips and meaningful moments to help you trade chaos for calm and make this season a little more like you. So let's jump into today's voice. Hey, I am Whitney Hawthorne, author of the Savvy Working Mom, a corporate girly Mama to two littles, and I live in McDonough, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. One thing I'm doing differently this holiday is saying no. A lot. I am prioritizing what's important across all the areas of my life, what's important for this holiday season, for my kids, for my family, for myself, during this end of fiscal season for my job. And once I have those priorities in place, I am going to be saying no a lot. I'm going to be saying no.'cause no is a full sentence. I'm going to be saying, as it turns out, I can't. I'm going to be saying no, but have you tried this? I'll be saying no in many, many ways to make sure that I can focus on what is important for me, what my priorities are this holiday season, to protect my peace, to have a lot of joy, and make sure that I keep moving towards my goals. That's it for this one. It is short, sweet, and straight from the heart. And if you're loving the series, make sure you follow the show or subscribe so that you don't miss what's coming next. I'll be back again tomorrow with another one of these holiday voices. Until then, take care and with thoughts of love.
