8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 8

(Season 4, Episode 15; Episode 127 Total)

Today is all about others. Sharing yourself with others, to be specific.

Once you’ve recharged, energized, played, loved, enjoyed, nurtured, and inspired yourself, the only thing left to do is share all the goodness you’ve stored up. Life just isn’t as great without the company of those we love, and when we are replenished and feeling “filled up,” we begin to automatically pour out all that joy and light and goodness onto others.

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 7

(Season 4, Episode 14; Episode 126 Total)

Did you know the word, “Inspire” actually means, “in the spirit?”

Today, we’ll be talking about all the ways to “inspire” ourselves on a weekly and daily basis.

Why does this matter so much? Because when we’re inspired, we have greater energy, love, joy, peace, and motivation. When we’re inspired, we find life “lighter,” and we want to get out and share that inspiration.

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 6

(Season 4, Episode 13; Episode 125 Total)

It’s time we focus on one of the most essential and yet under-rated and, I believe, misunderstood, components of self-care and REPLENISHment—nurture. Specifically, self-nurture.

How do we “nurture” ourselves? We’re so good at doing it with other people—our children, spouses/partners, family, friends, and even in our work. But do we know how to actually nurture ourselves?

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 5

(Season 4, Episode 12; Episode 124 Total)

JOY! What an important part of REPLENISHing through self-care, and yet how often do we forget that joy is a state of being and not a fleeting moment of pleasure or fun? That’s right—JOY is a state of BEING. Are you “being” joy today?

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 4

(Season 4, Episode 11; Episode 123 Total)

When it comes to feeling replenished, there’s nothing quite like LOVE.

And I’m not just talking about the all-important act of loving others; I’m talking about the complete “give-receive” cycle of loving ourselves and letting love in, too.

It’s called “The LOVE Triangle.” This LOVE Triangle is a HEALTHY one, and it’s essential when it comes to continual replenishment in all areas of life.

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 3

(Season 4, Episode 10; Episode 122 Total)

Today, it’s time to play!

Yes, that’s right. Part of REPLENISHING is incorporating play, and fun, and laughter into each day.

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 2

(Season 4, Episode 9; Episode 121 Total)

Let’s face it…we don’t always need MORE energy. Sometimes, what we really need is greater CALM. Or, we need to know how to USE the energy we have each day in the most efficient and useful ways.

We’ll be discussing all these ideas related to finding our energy-calm capacity, how to maximize both, and feel more energized and balanced as a result, today!

8-Day REPLENISH Self-Care Challenge – Day 1

(Season 4, Episode 8; Episode 120 Total)

As women, moms, and caretakers we care for everyone else first, leaving ourselves for when or “if” we “get the time” to care for our needs, and often never getting cared for at all. It’s time for that to change. Enter the “8 Day REPLENISH” Challenge!

How to NOT Set New Year’s Resolutions

(Season 4, Episode 7; Episode 119 Total)

We all want good things for this, and every, new year, don’t we? We want better things, best things. New Year’s Resolutions have been the “way” for ages, and the concept of “resolving” to do better, to be better, in the coming year is one I respect greatly. But New Year’s Resolutions don’t usually LAST for most of us.
We “try” to do something and then “fail” because we aren’t prepared, we aren’t ready. And we don’t have a solid plan in place. In this episode, we talk about how to actually achieve our goals.

Holiday Self-Worth: The 11 Gifts of Worth

(Season 4, Episode 6; Episode 118 Total)

The holiday season can bring out the best–or the worst–in us, especially when it comes to how we deal with ourselves. As moms, we have so much to do, so little time, and so many people to please, which can lead to stress, illness, burnout, and feelings of inadequacy, not being “good enough,” and low self-worth. Dr. Christina Hibbert offers her best gift this holiday season–the gift of feeling your true worth–with her “11 Gifts of Worth.” These 11 things may not seem like the “gifts” we want, but they are the gifts we, and our children and families need, as we seek to feel and share our true worth, and to help others do the same.

Investing in Yourself

(Season 4, Episode 5; Episode 117 Total)

Life Coach Lisa Statzer shares her research project and wisdom on “Investing in Yourself.”

Self-care is a must as a mom, and yet, we’re often the worst at prioritizing our own needs. When it comes to moving beyond self-care and fully investing in ourselves, we tend to struggle even more. What holds us back from investing in ourselves–as mothers, women, leaders? How can we change these unhealthy patterns in order to reach our full potential–in our personal, family, career, financial, and other goals? Dr. Christina Hibbert talks with life coach, Lisa Statzer, about the ways we, as women and mothers, can change our mindset, feel empowered, and take the steps we need to, in order to fully invest in our own futures. We do it for our children; now it’s time to do it for ourselves, too! Tune in to be inspired, and also to learn how you can be a part of Lisa’s research project, “Investing in Yourself.” Read 3 Steps to Enhancing & Trusting Your Intuition for more resources and tools on how to overcome, become, and flourish!
