    Your show is fantastic!! My husband is taking an interest also which is so nice. The way this podcast affected me today was with my kids, I have 5 my husband has 4, we are a blended family. I say to them I want grand kids one day, now I realize I am planting some seed in their head, no matter their age, that if I dont get grand kids from them I will be disappointed. Mind blowing light bulb moment thank you very much. You two are doing a great job.

    I do have a question. I married at 19, divorced 14 years later jumped into another marriage 2 years later. I feel like I have never had the time to get to know me, love me. With so many irons in the fire so to speak, kids, work, goals ETC. I almost feel like where do I put my efforts first? I feel guilty when I want to do things for me, work on things that make me feel accomplished.

    Thanks for your time

      OLIVIA! Thank you sooooo much for swinging by and sharing your thoughts! It means so much to us to hear from our listeners and know that people are really getting something from it. Please spread the word! I LOVE that this pod gave you some clarity about how you want to show up as a supporting parent for your children. So awesome. As for your 2nd Q, remember, your kids learn the biggest lessons from HOW YOU SHOW UP, not just what you say to them. In fact, I learned a TON about the woman I did and did NOT want to be by how my mother sacrificed herself. One of the BEST gifts you can give to ALL those in your life, is to honor and nurture YOU. It doesn’t have to be a gigantic step… maybe just a baby step. Remember, you’ve created this way of being, so YOU can create something else if you desire. Just think, how do you want your kids to treat THEMSELVES? Do you want them to think they have to constantly sacrifice themselves and only do for others? What do you want for them? Not to be all salesy or anything, but I have a program coming up that may be perfect for you. It is definitely a baby step and would be something you could do completely on your own time. Check it out at https://amygreensmith.com/bootcamp/ and see what you think. No matter what, SUPER honored to have you and hubbs listening to the pod and wish you nothing but the best! xo
