When a child isn’t gaining the weight she needs due to inadequate nutrition, doctors use the diagnosis “failure to thrive.” At that point, extra measures are taken in an effort to help the child grow healthier. As moms, when we don’t nourish our spirits and our bodies, we also fail to thrive.
When we’ve arrived at this stage, we’ve lost sight of our dreams, our sense of purpose and our zest for life. We may be feeling sick and lacking confidence. Not only is this state of living dangerous to our own personal well-being, it negatively affects our families.
Considering the multiple responsibilities today’s mom attempts to balance on top of the thousands of distractions daily life presents, you can see how frighteningly simple it is to find ourselves slipping down the rungs of the “priority ladder.”
Living life with intention has never been more critical if we are to feel happy, at peace and fulfilled. That’s why I’m excited to participate in the 2015 Mothers & More Virtual Expo: Mothers’ Time Matters, which will provide moms with the resources, experts and community to live life with more intention.
Where you can find me at the expo:
On Monday, Jan. 26 at 12 p.m. CST, blogger and bestselling humor author Jen Mann and I will be hosting a joint conversation, titled “Find Your Path, Find Yourself.” During this conversation, you’ll learn ways to invest more time in yourself to help you achieve a happier, more fulfilling life. After all, when moms are feeling happy and healthy, their families do too.
On Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 12 p.m. CST, Mothers & More has also invited me to share tips for preparing our kids for social media. If you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, both presentations will be recorded and available for expo participants to listen to later. I will be giving away a copy of my book Happy, Healthy & Hyperconnected: Raise a Thoughtful Communicator in a Digital World.
On Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. CST, Jen and I will also take to Twitter and be available to answer any questions you might have. Use the hashtag #MMExpo to participate.

Your time matters and this year, wouldn’t you rather see yourself thrive rather than just… well…survive? So join us. Let’s do this together and make 2015 the best year ever!
