On the Podcast

If you want to simplify your health this year, I know you'll love my conversation with Rachel DeSonier from Effective Fitness for Women and the Effective Weight Loss for Moms podcast - she's a Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and mom of five.

Rachel reminds us of something powerful: we are the standard our children learn from. The way we model health, movement, and self-care shapes what they believe a “healthy mom” looks like.

In this episode, we talk about how overwhelmed moms can realistically prioritize nutrition and exercise - even with very limited time.

We also dive into:

  • How to give yourself grace when you fall off track
  • Why starting small again prevents injury and burnout
  • How to reframe overeating without shame
  • The role stress plays in emotional eating

This conversation is grounding, practical, and incredibly encouraging—especially if you’ve felt stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle.

You can listen to Episode 221 on your favorite podcast player or watch on YouTube!

In Case You Missed It

We are starting a NEW decluttering challenge in the Decluttering Tips and Support for Overwhelmed Moms Facebook group on Monday, January 5th. If you aren't a member of the group yet, please answer ALL membership questions (yes, even the e-mail address - you won't get the weekly newsletter twice!)

Things I'm Loving Right Now

My decluttering/organizing tool of the week is this electronics travel organizer case my husband uses for his phone/computer cords when we travel. Stay tuned for an episode specifically about how to declutter and organize cords! (They are an issue in almost EVERY home I've worked in).

My decluttering/organizing resource of the week is this article about where to donate items - although depending on where you live, I can help you find options that may not be listed here. Just hit reply and let me help!

My favorite recipe of the week is this Slow Cooker Beef Stew - perfect on these cold winter days.

What are some things you're loving right now? Hit reply and let me know.

On the journey with you,

Emily

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, One of the questions I get the most often is WHERE should I start decluttering? It's a valid question, especially when we feel completely overwhelmed. Typically I have recommended a place that's not even in your home at all - your car. Why? Because it's a small, contained space with a super high trash to sentimental item ratio. Typically I find fruit snack wrappers, library books, and soccer balls in my car - things that are trash or can be relocated...

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, As I write this, I am almost 12 hours into a 24+ hour liquid-only fast before a routine medical procedure. Between bone broth and tea, I am white knuckling my way through, but it is causing some interesting cravings. This week's guest, Jess Przulj from the Habit Stacking Mom Podcast, is talking all things habits and habit stacking. And every time I hear the word "stack" I immediately think of a delicious stack of pancakes smothered in butter and...

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, Not long ago, I found myself frustrated as I pulled weeds in our front yard. My frustration stemmed from two places: 1. I detest all yard work.

I thought my husband would take care of the yard, and I was annoyed that I had to do it. 😂 Pat and I have a pretty good division of labor when it...
