My son Noah is a creator. He spends hours every day building with LEGO, and if he ever finds a big empty box, it will surely become a fabulous creation within the day. I am obsessed with this boy's brain and his creativity, and I am so excited that today,to celebrate his 11th birthday, we get to hear from him on the podcast. When I asked him if was interested in being on the show, he responded without hesitation, "Of course I would! It would be an honor!" He is confident, funny, and a natural born leader, and I know you are going to get a kick out of his personality in this episode, as he teaches us how to encourage creativity in kids. I love him, and I can't wait for you to learn from him.

If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you may remember that last fall, I launched a nine-month long program called Self-Assured Motherhood and I was thrilled to have almost 90 women join. These amazing mothers spent the last nine months working with me on becoming more confident and content mothers and women. We had nine different monthly topics with masterclasses and coaching and Q&A, and it was absolutely life-changing for them AND for me. One mother sent me an email that said this: Being part of this program has been incredibly eye opening and transformational! Every single time I have a class, I go back to my husband I tell him that I don’t regret a single penny that we have spent on SAM! This all so far has been worth it and then some! Not only am I being so blessed by all of this, but my family is too! Thank you! That first round of the Self-Assured Motherhood Program ended in July, and we are gearing up to launch it again in September. So if this is something that piques your interest that you might be interested in joining this year, stay tuned for more information. You'll be hearing about it on my podcast episodes and in my weekly emails in the coming weeks. I cannot wait to get started with a new group of women, and I'd love for you to be part of it as well!
