The Beauty of Community as We Honor Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month
Ready to learn how you can support a woman who has had a miscarriage? Perhaps you've experienced a loss yourself and understand the loss that accompanies your heart after a miscarriage. That's exactly what my guest, Kara Mangum, is here to talk about. She is the Founder and Executive Director of Our Hearts Align. She is a certified pregnancy health coach and author of two books (Align Our Hearts: A Devotional for Pregnancy Loss AND The Duckling in Our Hearts: A Gentle Baby Loss Story)
006: Why NOW is the time to think about your deathbed and quit sitting on the sidelines of your life.
Learn how to switch your thinking to living with no more regrets.
If you’ve been listening to the Unplanned Mom School Podcast for a while, you know that one of the questions I always ask is “does this matter five years from now?”
And for me, answering that question is super easy. It’s helped me move through fear and make decisions with confidence. Without a shadow of a doubt, I know this new mindset switch can help you find peace.
Yes, friend, it’s true. Peace, hope, and faith are within reach. No matter what challenge you are facing right now, you will get through it. In this episode, I talk about the end of our lives. Are we living with intention? Are you making decisions that you’ll be proud of at the end of your life?
This episode will leave you inspired and knowing that no matter what is going on in your life, you will be okay. As always, we are praying for you and wishing you all the love, prosperity, and hope that you can find today.
005: Money Mindset: The Beginning
There’s a reason it’s said that investing in yourself is the best investment you can make
Newsflash: Our bumps in the road aren’t permanent roadblocks. We talk about our money mindset and how we need to expand our thinking to open ourselves up for abundance.
You’re probably thinking, “Well, duh, Ashley -- that’s obvious.” And I agree, it is. But the thing is, all-too-many women completely neglect their own growth and development when things start to get stressful in our lives.
It’s super easy to do, and believe me, I can relate. You’re so focused and invested in making your life run smoother, that you forget about the person behind the scenes, in the trenches, doing all the hard work: Yourself.
You, my friend, are the force behind your life, and your actions will open you up to blessings you never thought were possible.
Believe me, after listening to this episode, you’ll understand why it’s said that the best is yet to come, and when you fully immerse yourself in what God has in store for you no matter what is going on in your life - the sooner you’ll be blessed!
004: Do you know how to find joy in uncertainty?
Finding joy has always been essential to my growth as a human being.
As an unplanned mom, I’m sure you’ve gotten advice about how to run your life from just about everybody -- your family, your friends, your next-door neighbor, perhaps even the random barista at Starbucks that you strike up a conversation with.
Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. And sometimes, you get a piece of advice that’s so significant that it sticks with you for years and years. It pushes you to become a better version of yourself, gives you perspective, and calms your mind.
I share past mistakes that have been on a replay loop on my mind and ended up costing me precious time in anxiety instead of living life fully and with joy.
