Mama’s Tired | Time Management, Overwhelm, Organization, Peace, Patience
Do you wish you had enough time in your day to get everything done? Are you tired of feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and impatient with your kids? Do you wonder what it would be like to say “no” and prioritize your needs for a change? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast is for the mamas who are doing all the things and running on empty. If you are looking to regain your peace, become a more patient mom, and finally have the time to be fully present with your family instead of worrying about everything that needs to be done, then this show is for you. Hey, I’m Rachel. A wife, child of God, and fellow mama in the trenches. For years, my days felt chaotic, my time felt hijacked, and peace felt like a fantasy. I was living in survival mode, placing my hope in planners and to-do lists. I finally realized that if I was going to have a peaceful home and stop letting the enemy steal my joy and my time, I needed to implement systems to get me there. I created a routine that fits ME and my family. A simple strategy that we could actually stick with. A lifestyle that made managing our time not just doable, but sustainable . And I’m ready to share it with you! Each week, we will talk routines, time hacks, mindset shifts, and real-life ways to bring calm back into your home and heart. Because burnout isn’t the plan. Let’s reset and find the peace you’ve been craving together. Heat up your morning coffee and throw that laundry back in the dryer, my friend. It’s time to jump in.

We all lose motivation at times. The scale goes up. You binge one night. Your schedule is off for weeks... It's normal. It's also normal to give up at these times. It just sounds easier to give up, not move from the couch, and eat anything and everything in sight. But you don't have to...you CAN keep going and motivate yourself. If you are looking to re-motivate yourself, Amanda and I have some ideas for you. Check out today’s episode. Thank you for tuning in! I’d love to chat more about this and any other nutrition questions you have over on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

"I deserve some ______________" What do you fill in the blank with? Ice cream, donuts, chocolate cake, a bag of chips, a big bowl of pasta? When do you tell yourself this? After a long day at work?

It's time to tackle the myth that weight loss is linear. When you start losing weight, it actually doesn’t go down at a nice steady pace. Weight loss is a rollercoaster. The better prepared you are for the ride, the more you will enjoy it and stick with it.

How do you take thoughts captive and what does this even mean? Taking your thoughts captive means you choose what you allow to take up residence in your mind. It means aligning the desires of your heart with what God desires for you and then believing what God desires for you. There’s a huge difference in having that head knowledge and truly believing what you know to be true. It is not God’s desire for you to condemn yourself, constantly criticize yourself, and speak negatively toward yourself. Our thoughts have such a massive impact on our lives that it's important to be able to discern between what God says and what the enemy is trying to lead us to believe. So how do we do this? It’s all in today’s episode. Thank you for tuning in! I’d love to chat more about this topic and other nutrition questions you have over on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

The term “carb cycling” has been trending for several years now, and yet there is still so much confusion surrounding what it actually is and how to do it correctly. Carb cycling may seem fancy, but it is a pretty simple concept: you eat more carbohydrates on some days and fewer carbohydrates on other days. As with any nutrition strategy, carb cycling is not “magic.” It’s a tool in the toolbox of techniques that can be used to achieve a desired result. The big questions everybody wants to know: will carb cycling work for me and how on earth do you implement carb cycling? I answer all of these and more in today’s episode. Thank you for tuning in!

Did you know that 80 PERCENT of people walk around living in fear, making reactive decisions that are keeping them stuck? Instead of forward projecting about what they really want their future to look like, they are driven by fear and avoidance. This can pertain to anything - starting a business, continuing to work a job you hate, letting other people dictate your time so you never have time to invest in your health, living in people-pleasing and growing resentment…the list goes on and on… In this episode, I dive into the truth that your future self is depending on your current self. Literally every decision you make has an impact on your future self in some form or fashion. The food you choose to eat. The amount of sleep you get. The way you spend your time. The media you consume. It all has an impact. “No matter what you do, there will be bystanders outside the arena who criticize. They will doubt you. But staying outside the arena means you’re overthinking, caught in paralysis by analysis. You’re letting fear win.” - Dr. Benjamin Hardy Will you step out in faith today? Your future self is counting on you. Thank you for tuning in! I hope this episode helped you. I’d love to chat more about it on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

Have you been “on a diet” for as long as you can remember? Jumping from one diet to another, seeing success for a while and then stalling out? By continuing this diet cycle and eating less and less, you may actually be CAUSING your body to hold onto the unwanted weight. It’s time to talk about going on a “reverse diet.” Reverse dieting is often referred to as the diet after the diet. It is a way to gradually increase calories over a few weeks or months to allow you to eat more food after you’ve been restricting calories or not eating enough. It increases your metabolism and prevents fat gain. I know what you are thinking — wait, ladies…eat more?! Yes! When you go through restrictive periods, it is common to see weight loss plateaus. When you decrease your calories and can’t anymore, your body stalls out. When you limit the amount of fuel you are taking in, you experience hormone changes and this is where your body will start to suppress or release hormones. Your body is literally saying “feed me!” This even causes your digestion to slow down to absorb nutrients and calories. Your resting metabolic rate decreases which causes your body to redirect all focused energy on vital organs to keep you alive. This is why you will often see brittle nails and hair loss. Your body is focused on keeping you alive, not thriving. Your energy will also deplete. The good news is you don’t have to stay there. If you want to eat more without gaining weight or are someone who has been dieting for a long time and you’re ready to maintain your current level of body fat, then the reverse diet method is right for you. The hardest part is the mindset. We have been told to restrict and over-exercise and this is simply not how God intended us to be. God created your body to work for you and not against you. Guel your body properly, take care of it, and it will respond. If you are in a weight loss plateau and feel like you can’t restrict anymore – book a call and let’s chat more about. It. Amanda and I would love to help you learn how you can actually eat more (fueling your body properly) and not rely on a restrictive lifestyle. Thank you for tuning in! I hope this episode helped you.
