Bright Light Mama

When it comes to kids, a flexible rhythm trumps rigid schedule any day--but how do you build one that will work for your family? In this episode, I'll share the simple strategy I've used for years to find the sweet spot between structure and chaos. I'll also let you in on an easy perspective shift that can help us all parent with more compassion--even when we're overwhelmed ourselves.

Nothing makes me feel underwater as quickly as a big, unexpected change. In this episode, I'll unpack some of the feelings we're all having as we deal with orders to "stay home, work safe," and share a simple next step to take when you're ready to take a baby step out of survival mode and move toward feeling better.

It can be SO hard to take good care of yourself--not to mention parent well--when things are really difficult. As we find ourselves upended by change, challenge, and a global crisis, I'm sharing a super simple way for moms to look after themselves. It's survival mode self-care, and it's literally as easy as 1, 2, 3.

A quick introduction to the Bright Light Mama podcast and host Jamie Walton. (That's me!) What to expect, a little of my motherhood backstory, and what I hope to give you.
