Mom YOUR Way

Shifting from “Get It Done” to “Enjoy the Moment” in Motherhood

After having my second baby at the beginning of August, I realized something that didn’t sit right with me: most of my interactions with my daughter had become task-focused. I was constantly telling her what needed to get done, instead of simply being with her. Once I recognized this and started making intentional space for connection, everything shifted, and our relationship now feels lighter, closer, and more joyful. In this episode, I share my personal experience and some gentle, practical ways that you can bring more presence into your relationship with your child, even in the midst of busy motherhood. What you’ll hear about in this episode: * The common trap of slipping into “manager mode” as a mom. * How task-focused interactions can impact your connection with your child. * The small daily shift I made that created a big change. * Simple activity ideas to use during intentional connection time. * The reminder that you don’t need to be “on” all day to be a good mom. ⁠Learn more about 1:1 mentorship programs and mom community⁠⁠ [https://www.laurenlasalle.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Lauren's email list⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://55991dc9.sibforms.com/serve/MUIFAGPQEY7bAaRzv2JKbOaveOpMju6g0GQ3k2xogSgicZfk3giPgiz2wcfH81e3maUHKasN7i724RusiKQtC90NDJUDGUVtovl7j8lr0ttKREA9WrSoYCU-FekTU0-9VJPv9_CLoVPiSee-gzhgMw4UrnKQqkANvjKcoqigNN_tI4GAeoAEkRPvgwtUXjHzFn1gqxouk9haaHe-] Connect with Lauren on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@iamlaurenlasalle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/iamlaurenlasalle] If you have any ideas for episode topics, if you have any questions for Lauren to answer on the podcast, or if you would like to write an email sharing your story for Lauren to read on the podcast, email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lauren@laurenlasalle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [lauren@laurenlasallecoaching.com] (email title: For Podcast).

Running on Empty: The Honest Truth About Motherhood and Sleep Deprivation

In this first episode since welcoming my baby boy, I’m sharing real and raw reflections on life as a mom of two— running on very little sleep and a whole lot of love. Between newborn nights and my 3-year-old’s bedtime struggles, I’ve noticed how exhaustion stirs up old negative thoughts, shortens my patience, and makes me more reactive than I’d like to be. If you’ve ever snapped at your child after a rough night, thought “I’m failing,” or felt like a shell of yourself when you’re running on empty, you are not alone. In this episode, I talk about: * The sneaky thoughts that show up when we’re overtired * Why it’s not about being a “bad mom” but about being a human mom * Practical ways to give yourself grace and reset in the middle of the chaos * How leaning on support systems can shift the weight we carry This season of motherhood is stretching and exhausting, but it won’t last forever. Tune in for some honest encouragement and gentle reminders that you’re doing better than you think. ⁠Learn more about 1:1 mentorship programs and mom community⁠ [https://www.laurenlasalle.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Lauren's email list⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://55991dc9.sibforms.com/serve/MUIFAGPQEY7bAaRzv2JKbOaveOpMju6g0GQ3k2xogSgicZfk3giPgiz2wcfH81e3maUHKasN7i724RusiKQtC90NDJUDGUVtovl7j8lr0ttKREA9WrSoYCU-FekTU0-9VJPv9_CLoVPiSee-gzhgMw4UrnKQqkANvjKcoqigNN_tI4GAeoAEkRPvgwtUXjHzFn1gqxouk9haaHe-] Connect with Lauren on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@iamlaurenlasalle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/iamlaurenlasalle] If you have any ideas for episode topics, if you have any questions for Lauren to answer on the podcast, or if you would like to write an email sharing your story for Lauren to read on the podcast, email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lauren@laurenlasalle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [lauren@laurenlasallecoaching.com] (email title: For Podcast).
