It’s back to school time, a time of chaos, frenzy, fears, guilt, and doubts, whether the kids are miles or meters away. Parenthood is an imperfect journey, and a thrilling –yet scary- rollercoaster of emotions. At times, you may be feeling like you are alone, you end up thinking that no one gets it, and even …
Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
Summer is coming to an end and it went by so quickly because I had so much going on. I love facilitating my Stepping Into BALANCE course, mentoring and coaching amazing clients, and taking dozens of women through The Passion Test. Time really flies when you’re doing what you love! I was recently helping one …
I get many compliments on my girls: they’re polite, they’re smart, they’re confident, they’re talented, they’re wise beyond their years, they’re disciplined, they’re sweet… and the list goes on. I am, naturally, a very proud mom. I’m always proud of them (even when they do something that disappoints me), but being proud of myself is not something that …
As I’ve grown older and it has become more evident to me that trying to do it all brings me stress, overwhelm, and misery, I’ve forsaken the idea of having a long list of chores, tasks, or to-do’s on a single day. I’ve also learned to NOT do it all alone. Big disclosure moment: I don’t …
Make Today Someday! I’ve been saying this phrase for years… to myself, to my daughters, and to everyone I know. I once wrote a post about the lie of someday… because someday is not a day on the calendar, it is an excuse to procrastinate our dreams, to postpone our life, and to put our needs on …
I have a confession to make: I just hosted my FIRST in-home birthday party… EVER. I never had a birthday party in my childhood (or adulthood), and Elisha and Elyssa have either decided they wanted a big present instead of a party, or we just celebrated it elsewhere fun. Last year, on Eliana’s first birthday, …
Have you ever been on TV? It’s really exciting because you get an opportunity to share your message with a broader audience. You get ready to give your very best and it goes by so fast! I was recently interviewed by the beautiful Cheri Duckworth of Joy in Our Town, KDTX TV- 58 (Joy in Our Town) …
Cinderella’s song taught us that a dream is a wish your heart makes, and as moms, we don’t give ourselves permission to dream enough, wish enough, and receive enough…
The past week was bittersweet because it marked the end of the Summer sessions of my Mompreneur Mastery virtual mentoring experience. This meant saying good-bye to some of the moms and getting into deeper inner-work with others who are now my coaching clients. One of the reasons I love group coaching is the beautiful dynamic that happens because …
It’s 10:25 pm and I have a headache. I haven’t slept well in days (make that weeks), and I have a sink full of dishes. I was planning to post before 3pm, too. I could write, and do chores, but, you know what? I’m going to relax, and watch a movie until I fall asleep. I need …
