I wanted to model what these kinds of women were doing to make it BIG in all the areas. I was haunted to see that my list was short. Too short! **I’m on a mission - to bring you WOMEN OF THIS KIND. I’m on a mission to Open our eyes to Women who are SERIOUS about business, and who have learned powerful lessons through both failures and successes. Dive in to a sweet mix of interviews with women who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who are HITTING it BIG in business, faith, and motherhood - as well as solo episodes with me about the business lessons that are transforming my world day by day. *Bonus - expect some some sweet connections between business and Nephi, Esther, and all your other scriptural heroes thrown in the mix.

It's About the Feeling We Create in Our Homes with April Perry [Episode 59]
Thriving In Motherhood Podcast
April is a mother of four and founder of Power of Moms and LearnDoBecome. She lives very intentionally and helps other mothers do the same. She shares her journey of recognizing that working together is a tool to build relationships in our home and create a feeling for everyone in the family to grow. She talks about learning to love ourselves so we can love others. She shares the importance of being open and honest in every step of your motherhood journey in order to find your "person" behind the word "mother." April talks about clearing the clutter out of our homes, but also out of our minds and our hearts to then be able to love. She speaks to the feeling in the home being the focus of our efforts. She goes against culture to get our housework done so we can be a mom, but rather teaches the importance of doing the housework side-by-side with our children and finding the beauty in that housework. April talks about the impact that Scream Free Parenting by Hal Edward Runkel has affected the way she looks at loving herself and loving her children. She prioritizes self-care with bedtime for herself, exercise, taking a shower, drinking water, and eating for herself. She talks about the importance of really talking with your kids (even if it's a topic that you don't want to necessarily get into with your kids) and building true relationships with them. She encourages us to spend more time looking in our children's eyes rather than our phones. She believes that is possible by involving them in our lives and letting them help us with what we need to do. April emphasizes the need to value the moments we have, even if they don't seem Facebook-worthy.
