Ep.10: (Season 2) Roots of Connection

Send us a textHave you ever wondered what it truly takes to build connections that don't just survive, but deeply thrive? The answer might surprise you - it starts with you.Throughout this soul-stirring exploration, we uncover how self-awareness creates the foundation for every meaningful relationship in our lives. True connection requires courage - the willingness to face the messy, complicated parts of ourselves that we often try to hide. When you take the journey inward, asking yourself who you truly are, what you genuinely value, and what you authentically need, you're not just gathering information - you're laying groundwork for profound intimacy with others.Think of your relationships as canvases with you as the artist. Every interaction, every conversation becomes a purposeful brushstroke rather than a reaction. This intentional approach manifests in those small, mindful moments - truly listening when someone shares, offering empathy instead of solutions, being fully present when it would be easier to drift into distraction. These seemingly minor acts become the vibrant colors that bring your connections to life.Relationship resilience flourishes not in isolation but in community. By surrounding yourself with people who uplift you and remind you of your light when you've forgotten it, you create the supportive environment where authentic connections can truly thrive. The strongest bonds aren't built on perfection but on presence - being fully available to yourself and others.What small action will you take today to nurture a connection in your life? I'd love to hear your reflections - share them with me on social media or via email. Your stories not only inspire me but create beautiful ripples for others in our community. Remember, the roots of connection start within. Keep listening, keep loving, keep growing.Support the showSubscribe to Exclusive Content by clicking on the LINK HereConnect with Vernae:Website: https://www.listeningearspodcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moderndaymom247/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Vernae_BTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@moderndaymom7

Ep. 9: (Season 2) This is NOT "My Little Hobby"

Those seemingly innocent words carry weight, subtly diminishing what might be your life's work and passion.Today's episode confronts this common experience faced by mother entrepreneurs, creators, and visionaries. We explore the powerful truth that what you're creating isn't small or insignificant—it's your legacy in motion.

But your community doesn't need another perfectly curated highlight reel—they need your authentic journey, including the messy in-between moments. Your transparency creates permission for others to show up exactly as they are.Remember that you're not just building a brand—you're building belief. Every time you persist through challenges, you demonstrate to your children what's possible. Your business becomes tangible proof that dreams can flourish even amid the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

Ep. 7: (Season 2) Anchored in Chaos

Send us a textStaying grounded amid chaos isn't about perfection—it's about finding that crucial space between stimulus and response. When your child spills milk all over their homework while you're juggling your day job and dinner prep, how do you respond?
