Becoming a Mother, Writing a Book, and Inspiring Women with Catia Holm, Episode 13

Casey O'Roarty

My guest for episode 12 of the Happiness Mama Podcast is Casey O’Roarty of JoyfulCourage.com. Casey is a mama, blogger, podcaster, parent educator, and coach. I love the tagline of Joyful Courage, which is “raising our children while growing ourselves.” Before our conversation, I knew we had a lot in common, but wow! We are both former school teachers, both have done positive discipline training, both started blogging and then podcasting, both do coaching, both love mindfulness and personal growth, and we also both love the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon! Wow! Talk about “sisters from another mister!” (Ha ha! I learned that one from Casey.) I loved hearing about her journey from being a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in the mountains (really!) to becoming a positive discipline parent educator, and then starting and growing her online business while also growing her family. We talked about so many topics related to being a mindful mama while also filling our own cups and growing ourselves as people, and how the two are so closely related. How can we be the parents we really want to be? Why do we need to nurture ourselves? How can we deal effectively (without jumping on the “crazy train”) when our children manage to push all our buttons? And how can we stay tuned in to our values and make time for things like self-care and meditation? Listen, and find out! You’ll also learn how getting a tattoo can make you a better parent, and learn about the man who encourages her every time she takes a drive. I had so much fun talking with Casey O’Roarty, and I think you’ll love this one, too! Highlights:  Teaching in a one-room schoolhouse What it was like teaching while wearing and caring for her newborn How she created a custom position for herself that allowed her to nurse her baby through circle time How and why she started her online business Positive Discipline live training How positive discipline and her work have affected her life at home Casey’s philosophy on why her children are hers The mindset that helps us be the best parents and the best people we can be How child behavior is like icebergs and weeds #JoyfulCourage10, Casey’s free program to support parents in being the parents they want to be, and the unconventional way she’s delivering it How body awareness and small physical changes can shift things in big ways Making sure we have our toolbox in hand when we need it Creating reminders of our truest values What self-care is (and isn’t) A simple way to do your own women’s circle  Quotes:  “The hardest parts of being a parent are the richest opportunities for personal growth” ~Casey O’Roarty “We design our lives. And yes, there are instincts. Yes there are things that show up, but they don’t have to. If it’s not serving us, it doesn’t need to define us, and we can choose something different.” ~Casey O’Roarty  Links and Books Mentioned In This Episode:  Joyful Courage, which is Casey’s website, and the link to her #JoyfulCourage10 free program, which is www.joyfulcourage.com/jc10 Positive Discipline Positive Discipline Parent Educator Training Soul Navigation Cards Tattoos from Danielle LaPorte Essential oils from Happiness Mama  Essential Oils!

We are both former school teachers, both have done positive discipline training, both started blogging and then podcasting, both do coaching, both love mindfulness and personal growth, and we also both love the <a href="http://amzn.to/2aI5R7Y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outlander books</a> by Diana Gabaldon! Wow! Talk about “sisters from another mister!” (Ha ha! I learned that one from Casey.) I loved hearing about her journey from being a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in the mountains (really!) to becoming a positive discipline parent educator, and then starting and growing her online business while also growing her family. We talked about so many topics related to being a mindful mama while also filling our own cups and growing ourselves as people, and how the two are so closely related. How can we be the parents we really want to be? Why do we need to nurture ourselves? How can we deal effectively (without jumping on the “crazy train”) when our children manage to push all our buttons? And how can we stay tuned in to our values and make time for things like self-care and meditation? Listen, and find out! You’ll also learn how getting a tattoo can make you a better parent, and learn about the man who encourages her every time she takes a drive. I had so much fun talking with Casey O’Roarty, and I think you’ll love this one, too! Highlights: <ul> <li>Teaching in a one-room schoolhouse</li> <li>What it was like teaching while wearing and caring for her newborn</li> <li>How she created a custom position for herself that allowed her to nurse her baby through circle time</li> <li>How and why she started her online business</li> <li>Positive Discipline live training</li> <li>How positive discipline and her work have affected her life at home</li> <li>Casey’s philosophy on why her children are hers</li> <li>The mindset that helps us be the best parents and the best people we can be</li> <li>How child behavior is like icebergs and weeds</li> <li>#JoyfulCourage10, Casey’s free program to support parents in being the parents they want to be, and the unconventional way she’s delivering it</li> <li>How body awareness and small physical changes can shift things in big ways</li> <li>Making sure we have our toolbox in hand when we need it</li> <li>Creating reminders of our truest values</li> <li>What self-care is (and isn’t)</li> <li>A simple way to do your own women’s circle</li> </ul> Quotes: <ul> <li>“The hardest parts of being a parent are the richest opportunities for personal growth” ~Casey O’Roarty</li> <li>“We design our lives. And yes, there are instincts. Yes there are things that show up, but they don’t have to. If it’s not serving us, it doesn’t need to define us, and we can choose something different.” ~Casey O’Roarty</li> </ul> Links and Books Mentioned In This Episode: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.joyfulcourage.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joyful Courage</a>, which is Casey’s website, and the link to her #JoyfulCourage10 free program, which is <a href="http://www.joyfulcourage.com/jc10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.joyfulcourage.com/jc10</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.to/2arG1aD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Positive Discipline</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.positivediscipline.com/training" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Positive Discipline Parent Educator Training</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fuzionhealingarts.com/soul-navigation-cards/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soul Navigation Cards</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.daniellelaporte.com/store/shop/tattoos.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tattoos from Danielle LaPorte</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.abreathofhappiness.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Essential oils from Happiness Mama</a></li> </ul> Essential Oils!

Follow Your Mama Bliss with Kathy Stowell, Episode 11

Carina Lyall

Carina Lyall empowers women through creating a compassionate space for them to be heard and gather in community through her storywork sessions and women’s circles. Carina is such an honest, wise, fun, and down-to-earth woman, and I was so encouraged by our conversation. As women, we have the power to uplift one another and ourselves through providing that compassionate space, and that is my wish for all of us. Highlights:  When becoming a mother isn’t how we imagined it would be... Postpartum depression and difficult feelings The healing power of story in her own life Becoming a mother of three girls Why she chose to do storywork rather than coaching Social media and the challenge of finding time for friends Honoring the everyday Women’s circles Honoring our body’s need for rest, even when others may not understand or approve Knowing ourselves intimately and holding space for ourselves when we feel emotional Getting to know our own cycles and passing our knowledge on to our daughters Quiet moments of self-care  Quotes:  “It’s quite special I think to just allow someone to have a voice without going in there to fix them or going in to strategize how they’re going to come out the other end, just giving a woman a breathing space to say this is how I felt, and this is what happened to me, and not making them feel wrong for having that experience.” ~Carina Lyall “It ain't no sin, to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.” ~Tom Waits  Links and Books Mentioned In This Episode:  Carina’s beautiful website, Carinalyall.com Siblings Without Rivalry How to Talk So Kids Will Listen &amp; Listen So Kids Will Talk I did some searching, and I found a couple of articles about friendship and oxytocin,  here and here.
