Today's episode is one that was originally going to air on the podcast "Full Time Family"- a whim I had months ago. I decided to instead present it as a series here within Marvelous Moms to keep all the great content in one easy to find place!
Kindle is my inspiration for the homeschool life we are living right now. She is THE person to follow and learn from if you are toying around with the idea, or need some empowerment as a homeschool mom.
We covered a LOT of ground here and got pretty deep into our beliefs about the school system and why we are not just homeschooling to combat what we see are the FLAWS, but rather the beauty that we are finding and the positives in schooling our children from home. You may not know this- but all homeschool parents get asked the same basic questions and are met with the same reactions from parents who do not homeschool.
I asked Kindle to debunk or demystify three of those main things we get asked about or the assumptions people make- and her answers were fantastic.
It's a Five Minute Friday yo! Today I'm talking (rather ranting and rambling) about my journey through self esteem, and how I went from a lazy teen to a self aware adult. I'm finally realizing now- how beauty isn't about the makeup, the clothes or the hair. It's about your light- who you are and really just BEING yourself. Cliche? Yep. But I'm ok with it- and I hope you glean something from this short episode!
Hey everybody... aren't you so glad we're still here? Marvelous Moms Club has brought so much inspiration to thousands of people and I want it to continue as long as possible!
Today I have my friend Renee on the podcast. She is FULL of said inspiration and she is marvelous to listen to.
Here are some things we talked about:
If this episode spoke to you in any way, please feel free to share if with your family and friends. Spread that inspiration like wildfire!
Now that you're in love with Renee, don't forget to follow her on Instagram. Catch you all next week!
xoxo,

I played with your heart momma! I told you we were ending the podcast a few episodes ago- and I am taking it back. Eating my words and changing my mind. I'm like a professional mind changer. But I promise it's for a good reason and I can't wait for you to listen to this episode. Making shifts to get into alignment is incredibly important!
Hey Marvelous Moms!
I've got my friend Steffanie Wing on the podcast today. Among other things, we discuss the oh-so-dreaded postpartum depression and anxiety. This topic will never not need to be talked about!
Please join us and learn a thing or two.

Hey Marvelous Moms! Today on the podcast I'm talking with a good friend of mine, Keia Blake. She is the kind of person who loves to learn and apply her knowledge to her daily life.
We talk to a lot of moms on here who work from home. Did you know that it's possible to work a corporate job from home? That's right. You don't have to sit in an office building to be a loan officer (what Keia does) or something similar. We talk about that too!
Hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, have a Marvelous day!
Follow Keia on Instagram and on her website.
Angie Chandler is on the podcast today! This episode sums up pretty well the whole point of the Marvelous Moms Club Podcast. I say that because Angie gives some really good parenting advice I hadn't thought of before! And, she also has found a way to use her passions to help others. Angie used to be a teacher. Now, instead of reaching just 22 students in a classroom, she reaches the lives of thousands!
To find the "Mom store" pages we talk about in the episode, go to Angie's Etsy page.
Check out Angie's website, and follow her on Instagram!
It's hard to sum up this episode because Micala Quinn brings us personal stories as well as her business ventures. There's no shortage of inspiration for you today, that's for sure! Micala shares her story of losing a child, one that is never easy to share. She also tells us how she was able to start making money from home doing freelancing. This enables her to stay home and spend precious time with her children.
We really hope you enjoy this one!
Finances. Maybe not your favorite part of life, but they're a big necessity to maintain. I've got Kumiko Love a.k.a. The Budget Mom on the podcast today, and she knows what it's like to be lost in your personal finances! Managing income, debt, bills, and everything else finance-related can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be!
Listen to today's episode to find out how important it is to be comfortable with your finances. You will feel so much better once you have it all figured out!
You can follow Kumiko on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or her blog!
Today I'm sharing about something super exciting that we are doing as a family, something I have been dreaming of for over 10 years!
That led me to think- how many of our dreams do we give up on when they haven't happened in a year, or even a few months?
Did you know it took Michelangelo 4 years to complete the Sistine Chapel? The coliseum took 10 years to finish, the leaning tower of Pisa took 199 years to be completed...
So, are you giving your big dreams long enough to come true?
Do you ever wish you were one of "those families" that got to travel a lot? It seems impossible to do when you have kids, a demanding job, and so much more on your plate! I love my interview with Jen Brewer because her family has been able to travel many times even though her husband works full-time.
Are you curious how they do it? Tune in to find out!
I have created some really cruddy days for myself this week- and it all starts the night before. Today I'm sharing three tips for a MARVELOUS day, and how you can create these small shifts that give you the days you REALLY deserve as a mom! Listen in and share with a momma who needs to hear it!
This episode will break your heart and put it back together.
I don't know if I've said this before on here, but I wish I could hug each and every one of you, especially when you're going through the most difficult times in your lives!
Today you get to listen to my talk with a good friend, Claire Aleman. She is a shining example of how you can live through loss. She teaches that it's possible for grief and happiness to exist at the same time.
Today is a quick and meaningful Five Minute Friday episode where I'm helping you to connect the past, present and future. Have you ever thought about what your future self would want you to know? What would you go back and tell the past version of yourself today? It's important that we have awareness and start taking action steps and loving ourselves NOW to become the women we are striving to be!
Happy Monday, Marvelous moms! Betsy Mikesell is on the podcast today. This episode is awesome for at least two reasons: you'll realize that there are still problems to be solved that you can turn into a business, and you'll learn about an amazing kind of bedding (if you haven't already heard of it)!
Betsy is the creator and CEO of Beddy's. Listen to our interview to hear her story!
You can find Beddy's here. Betsy has a blog for her family, and you can also check out her personal Instagram or the Beddy's Instagram.

I'm participating in an AMAZING free online summit this month with Michelle Gifford and many other talented ladies called the Back to Business Summit!
I'm sharing on this episode about how CRUCIAL it is to listen to that call to CREATE!
Today we have another awesome woman on the podcast! Her name is Katie Farrell and she is the creator of Dashing Dish. You might've seen the app or been to her website. She's done us all a favor and put meal planning, clean-eating recipes, tech-smart grocery lists, product recommendations, workouts, spiritual exercises, personalized coaching, and more, all in one convenient place.

Hey ladies! Today let's go a little "out there" and a little "woo woo" to discuss something that I have found to be a really big help to me. Raising your vibration. I have experienced this in many instances but lately I have noticed there are some really quick things you can do to raise your vibration and experience incomprehensible joy!
Listen in to hear about the first time a high vibration moment made me cry!
More often than not, the things I talk about in my interviews with people end up being exactly what I needed to hear that day! Today's episode with Stephanie Sikora definitely came at the right time for me, and I have a feeling about 99% of you will be able to relate. You might be surprised at how "understood" you feel while listening!
Stephanie helps people to simplify their lives so that they're not constantly feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the millions of things we have to do every single day as moms.
Listen to get some pointers, and then when you feel inspired, check out her book here! You can follow Stephanie on Instagram or check out her blog.
Hey mama- today on this episode I'm chatting with you- because you are my friend- to remind you that you are doing a FANTASTIC job of raising your family. We are setting the standard WAY too high and I don't know why we do that. My parents didn't entertain me 24/7 and I have a really great, happy life. Anyone else?
Let's lower our standards a bit, give ourselves a break and know that even on our worst days we are doing better than we think! Happy August momma!
Today I have a guest who grew up in Poland! Alex Rudnicka comes from a difficult background, made more so by her low self esteem. She wants you to know that if she can learn confidence and create a better life for herself, that you can, too!
You're going to love this episode, not just because Alex has a gorgeous accent, but because she has many words of wisdom to share with us all.
It's Five Minute FRIDAY Y'all!
I'm so excited about this one- because I've been REVVED up all week talking about it on social media!

It's full of supportive women cheering each other on, working through weakness, and best of all- it's totally FREE! I hope you see you in there soon!
Hey Marvelous Moms - today's episode is really important. I talked with Roni Lambrecht, a wonderful mother who lost her only child. This topic is never easy for anyone but if you have kids you NEED to listen! Roni wants to share with everyone how she has been making it through her loss and how she lives without regrets.
This episode will be one I come back to often because it's a reminder we need when we get caught up in life.
If you'd like to follow Roni, you can find her on Instagram, her blog, or Facebook. She also has books on Amazon!
JoEllen is one of the most inspiring humans if you are looking to cut loose and get REALLY far out of your comfort zone! She's on the podcast today talking about how her family moved from the United States to New Zealand- and how that set off a chain of events that has taken them to 17+ countries! And now they are in the process of preparing to move to ITALY. You have to tune into this one my friends- it's SO good! Even if you can't pick up life and move across the world- it's inspiring to see how her perspective about other things in life shifted after they moved and embarked on a life of travel and adventure!
Today on the fabulous FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY episode- I'm talking about how important CONNECTION is!
