We all have struggles and hardships, but celebrations and making memories are littles ways we can bring joy to a tough time. Shakira is doing this and her determination and bravery are incredibly inspiring to me. TO SEE FULL SHOW NOTES, GET MORE RESOURCES, AND CONNECT WITH SHAKIRA, CLICK HERE!

Hosting a Favorite Things Party for Your Girlfriends with Nicole McKinley

In this episode, I’m sharing how one conversation changed the course of my life. How a business idea that played to my strengths and interests fell into my lap as a new mom of two, and I ran hard with it. How I turned that idea into a growing business where I get to help give moms an affordable way to outsource their party planning so they can focus on enjoying the actual celebration. I hope my story of how I built Allison Carter Celebrates can serve as some inspiration for anyone that also has a little nudge in their belly urging them to chase something, or to find yourself outside of being a mom for the first time in years.  SEE THE FULL SHOW NOTES AND PICS OF THOSE FIRST PARTIES HERE! SHOW SPONSOR Imagine your perfect Easter.You’ve got some cute decor around your house, the Easter baskets and shopped for and prepped ahead of time, you’ve got your hunt ready to roll, the menu plan is set and your guests know what they’re bringing, and all you need to worry about is whether or not your kid is going to look at the camera for one family photo.

Starting My Business: How One Conversation Changed My Life

This comparison trap is a super slippery slope. We can get real hung up on what that mom is doing or wearing or parenting.  It makes us second guess ourselves constantly, which makes our confidence and belief in ourselves plummet. Emilie Karun, a personal development coach for moms who want more, is here to change that. In this episode, we discuss how to stop comparing yourself with others (especially other moms) once and for all, how to step into something more and not feel guilty about it, and why self care is essential to us being better moms and partners. This is an episode where you might want to take some notes because Emilie is taking us to personal development church!   SEE FULL SHOW NOTES AND LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO WORK WITH EMILIE HERE! SHOW SPONSOR I know party planning can be super overwhelming. It’s time consuming, expensive, and can lead to a lot of insecurities…not to mention the HOURS it takes to plan and prep it all! I’m here to help a sister out. In addition to hosting the Memories in Moments podcast, I also create party planning guides and checklists for themed parties. These are designed with one goal in mind: help a busy mom save time, stress, and money so she actually enjoys the party she’s hosting. I’ve thought (and found!) every little detail you need to bring your themed party to life, given you links to purchase it all, and put it all in one convenient download you can access anywhere. No more Pinterest and no more wandering the aisles of Target. Now you’ve got a clear plan of attack that’ll result in a beautiful party ending in tons of cherished memories with your loved ones.
