Show Notes

As moms, we’ve all handled the unexpected.

But in the last year, we’ve had more than our share of unforeseen circumstances.

So, what can busy mom-preneurs do to help our kids navigate uncertainty? How do we make them feel seen and heard—and keep our marriages strong in the process?

On this episode of The Live Out Loud Show, Brooke sits down for another round of Girl Talk with three women she admires both as moms and businesswomen, Certified Fitness Clinician Sara Formato, Lifestyle Coach Jen Jones and Overcomer Strategist Julianne Kirkland, to discuss all things parenting in uncertain times.

Jen and Julianne explain how they are helping their kiddos process their feelings without trying to fix them, challenging us to make our children feel seen by learning how they show and receive love. And Sara describes how taking responsibility for our own happiness cultivates a stronger marriage.

Listen in for insight on monitoring your kid’s screen time and learn how taking a little time for yourself can make you a better mom!
