FOUNDER'S NOTE<br />
Tis The Season, To Be a Mom Warrior!<br />
Here's w hy I<br />
believe in you!<br />
There was this Family<br />
that was going<br />
through the airport. A<br />
Dad, A Mom, and a<br />
little child girl.<br />
As is sometimes the<br />
case, they were<br />
running late.<br />
They were at the<br />
Click Here If You'd<br />
Rat her List en To This...<br />
baggage claim area<br />
and the Little girl was<br />
struggling with one of<br />
the bigger bags that<br />
belonged to one of<br />
the Parents. (we won?t<br />
mention who) ;)<br />
Dad was all stressed<br />
out and walked up to<br />
his daughter and<br />
yelled at her to stop<br />
screwing around,<br />
they?re in a hurry!<br />
Yelling at her about<br />
taking so long. But<br />
she couldn?t help it<br />
due to her small<br />
nature and the size of<br />
the bag.<br />
?BUT I WANT TO<br />
7 What this story does<br />
3<br />
HELP!? Yelled the little<br />
girl!<br />
Dad grabs the bags<br />
and heads the charge<br />
towards their<br />
destination and the<br />
rest of the family<br />
ensues.<br />
Little girl is feeling<br />
down, feeling<br />
defeated. Mom goes<br />
up to the Little girl.<br />
Mom picks her up<br />
and hugs her tight.<br />
?It?s okay, Hun. I know<br />
you want to help.<br />
Don?t mind Dad. We<br />
are just in a hurry and<br />
Dad is stressed.?<br />
Then gives her<br />
another big hug and<br />
off the pair goes their<br />
hurrying way!<br />
is perfectly typify why<br />
I believe in you so<br />
much. Why I believe it<br />
is going to be okay.<br />
Why your children are<br />
going to be okay no<br />
matter what happens.<br />
Because of you.<br />
(true story, too, by the<br />
way! Probably<br />
happens each day!)<br />
I know because I was<br />
felt like that Little Girl<br />
quite a bit growing<br />
up.<br />
Which is yet another<br />
reason why I HATE<br />
stress so much<br />
because not only<br />
does it lead to<br />
tiredness and G.D.D.
(G.D.D. = Guilt y Drained Disease ? a<br />
downward cycled condition where tiredness<br />
leads to more stress?<br />
? .which leads to more tiredness, which leads<br />
to more stress... and so on.<br />
? . Before long, poor Mom is turning into an<br />
hulked monster, can barely get through the<br />
day, and missing out on her loved ones? all<br />
leading to feeling guilty.<br />
--> Which leads to MORE Stress! Which leads to<br />
more TIREDNESS? and on and on, you get the<br />
picture. Not a fun disease to have!)<br />
? but stress also takes away the BEST part of<br />
you. The loving, understanding, appreciative<br />
YOU.<br />
Just like it did for m y Fat her. Who is t he<br />
great est Man I know.<br />
Who I owe just as much of my success to as my<br />
Mother. Stress made his life rough raising us<br />
and led me to not see the amazing Father he is.<br />
All he did for his kids he loved more than<br />
anything.<br />
If you read our article from the first issue, The<br />
Misbehavior & Discipline Cure, you might recall<br />
that ?Contribution?is one of the 6 internal tanks<br />
that?s in kids.<br />
Focus on feeding those 6 internal tanks and<br />
generally most of the misbehaviors and<br />
"<br />
acting outs will get taken care of. (there?s<br />
actually 7 now, as I found another in my<br />
quest to becoming the world?s<br />
awesome-est Stress & Tiredness Expert!<br />
I?ll tell you about it some other time, Mom!<br />
"<br />
Quit distracting me, I?ve got a lesson to<br />
pass onto you about how wonderful you<br />
are first!) :)<br />
That Little girl was wanting to feed her<br />
Contribution internal tank in that story. I?ve<br />
had a pretty high need in that internal tank<br />
too. Although not exactly like that story, I<br />
have been through similar situations.<br />
As your child is becoming their own person<br />
and interacting with the world and finding<br />
their place in it? They are learning it<br />
through their parents.<br />
How a parent interacts with their child<br />
either increases the chances of that<br />
behavior happening again,<br />
Or that child looks to avoid doing that<br />
behavior if it led to pain.<br />
There was an action that Little Girl felt<br />
compelled to do. Nobody had to tell her to<br />
do that. She did it on her own because,<br />
well,<br />
4
?I Want To Help!? ? she said.<br />
Without realizing it the Dad punished her<br />
for it. Made her feel bad for wanting to help.<br />
Because that urge within her led to an<br />
action. That action being to grab the<br />
luggage, even though she didn?t know she<br />
wasn?t strong enough.<br />
THAT DIDN'T STOP<br />
"HER FROM TRYING<br />
"<br />
Little Girl that it?s wrong to want to help. That<br />
when those urges were felt to help, to squash<br />
them down and ignore them because it might<br />
lead to her failing.<br />
That didn?t stop her from trying.<br />
Then that action led to giving her Dad some<br />
pain. Added to his Stress. That felt bad<br />
enough on its own. The fact that she FAILED<br />
TO HELP in her Father?s eyes.<br />
Then to top it off, that led to being yelled at<br />
by her Father. Which is yet ANOTHER pain<br />
for that little girl.<br />
It might lead to her getting yelled at again.<br />
Something she didn?t like because she loved<br />
her Father and didn?t wish to hurt him.<br />
If the dad did that here or there it probably<br />
wouldn?t matter anything. But what do you<br />
think would happen to the Little Girl if this was<br />
repeated each day?<br />
That?s why thank Goodness for you, Mom!<br />
Us humans avoid pain as much as possible,<br />
unless it?s the pain towards getting<br />
something we really, really want! (like<br />
MONEY! Hence working a job that we don?t<br />
like!)<br />
In swoops the Mom and gathers up her Little<br />
Girl! Acknowledges her emotions, her feelings,<br />
her wantings to help. Didn?t make her feel bad<br />
for feeling them.<br />
Or avoiding a BIGGER PAIN from happening.<br />
(like you running into a burning building to<br />
save your Little One)<br />
And like a PRO, Mom DOESN?T make Dad the<br />
bad guy?<br />
So in that little exchange in the airport<br />
there, the father unknowingly taught his<br />
7<br />

Merry Christ m as &<br />
Happy New Year<br />
From The Spiegel<br />
Clan, Mom Warrior!<br />
Blames it on the situation. On the fact that<br />
they are in a hurry. I am so fascinated by<br />
your brain that you know how to do this<br />
stuff so naturally!<br />
You do that sort of ?Loving Perfectly? thing<br />
all day and do it perfectly with no idea<br />
how wonderful you are.<br />
are going to be okay!<br />
You?re so wonderful, Mom.<br />
Thank you for doing all that you do<br />
on a daily basis.<br />
You aren?t told how important and<br />
appreciated you are enough.<br />
No idea how much you are helping your<br />
child on a day to day basis!<br />
So thank you for letting me tell you<br />
that now...<br />
It may not be a hurried father that is<br />
making them feel bad for their behaviors.<br />
It may be other stressful situations.<br />
As long as you keep acknowledging that<br />
STRESS and G.D.D. are the bad guys.<br />
(BECAUSE THEY ARE!)<br />
Keep blaming the situations, they and you,<br />

Freedom From Holiday Horm one Havoc!<br />
By Coach Spiegel<br />
Did you know t hat<br />
seasonal st ress<br />
TRIPLES your risk of<br />
horm one hassles,<br />
Mom ?<br />
TRIPLES!<br />
Click To Play Here If You'd<br />
Rat her Have This Art icle Read To<br />
You Like You Do For Your<br />
Adorable Kiddos :)<br />
Sometimes it?s fun to<br />
have 3x as much as<br />
something: money,<br />
Netflix watching time,<br />
ice cream (but with<br />
none of the calories)<br />
fun time with loved<br />
ones.<br />
But NOT Hormone<br />
malfunction!<br />
So if you?re tired, tense,<br />
cranky, sleepless,<br />
insomnia-ess (that?s a<br />
word now),<br />
scatter-brained, and<br />
brain foggy?<br />
...then these easy fixes<br />
with help you have<br />
relief!<br />
1.) Your Body<br />
Tem p Is All Over<br />
The Place<br />
Hot flashes to cold.<br />
Cold to hot. Yikes! You<br />
poor thing!<br />
This is something my<br />
8<br />
beautiful wife has<br />
struggled with for quite<br />
awhile, although it<br />
hasn?t been that big a<br />
deal the last couple of<br />
years. We have<br />
unknowingly<br />
implemented what<br />
you?re about to discover<br />
here, so maybe that has<br />
something to do with it!<br />
Breathing in the aroma<br />
of LAVENDER for 20<br />
minutes twice daily can
cut the number and intensity of<br />
your hot flashes by 53%, reports<br />
research out of the Journal of<br />
the Chinese Medical<br />
Association.<br />
The scent reduces stress<br />
hormones (YAY!) And stimulates<br />
your brain?s internal<br />
thermometer to work better,<br />
your hypothalamus. So it keeps<br />
you cool when you?re supposed<br />
to be cool, (you?re always cool<br />
though) ;)<br />
And not overheated when you?re<br />
NOT supposed to be.<br />
You can simply light a candle or<br />
go with my favorite option, use a<br />
couple drops of essential oil into<br />
your lotion and massage your<br />
neck and wrists to enjoy the<br />
scent all day.<br />
We actually use a couple of<br />
drops in our humidifier at night<br />
and we both (and the dogs!) get<br />
WAAAY excellent, deep sleep!<br />
2.) Do You Feel Like<br />
SCROOGE All Day?<br />
--> Munch on a few apples!<br />
Fruit seems to be getting its<br />
shots these days as the latest<br />
health fad food to avoid. I don?t<br />
look at it like it?s the biggest deal.<br />
There?s a few fruits that I typically<br />
always go to and recommend:<br />
grapefruit, oranges, kiwi,<br />
blueberries, strawberries, pears,<br />
and of course APPLES!<br />
7<br />
9<br />
Turns out that 2 a day can help<br />
keep the crankiness away as well<br />
as the doctor! That?s the latest<br />
from research out of New<br />
Zealand. 2 a day can help you<br />
feel 50% happier and more<br />
energenic within 24 hours,<br />
...thanks to nutrients that boost<br />
production of mood-enhancing<br />
hormones!<br />
3.) Brain Fog and Mem ory<br />
Lapses?<br />
Those feelings of forgetfulness<br />
and ?oh-no, am I getting old?? ?<br />
yeah, those aren?t fun!<br />
With all the holiday stress going<br />
on, it wreaks havoc on your<br />
estrogen levels causing memory<br />
lapses and fog. Care for a fast<br />
fix?<br />
=> List en t o som et hing BRAND<br />
NEW!<br />
Michigan State scientists say a<br />
few minutes of listening to<br />
UNFAMILIAR music increases<br />
focus and concentration better<br />
than caffeine!<br />
The brain is made up of grooves<br />
and neural pathways. When
outines are set and habits in<br />
place, your brain goes on<br />
auto-pilot.<br />
So not only with NEW MUSIC,<br />
but stimulation of anything<br />
?off the beaten path? will<br />
stimulate new pathways and<br />
new connections between<br />
your brain and bodily<br />
hormones.<br />
Things like:<br />
-taking a different way driving<br />
- parking in different spots<br />
-watching new shows<br />
- meeting new people<br />
- learning a new skill, like<br />
playing an instrument<br />
There?s a reason there?s so<br />
much excitement and brain<br />
light-up in our brains when we buy<br />
something new, like a car or outfit.<br />
Or get a new hairstyle. So have at<br />
?er, Mom Warrior!<br />
4.) Tiredness get t ing in t he<br />
w ay of part ying?<br />
That?s not cool! You need all the<br />
fun you can get with all that you<br />
do, Momma-dearest! You need to<br />
be able to kick back and enjoy<br />
yourself for a spell!<br />
Your brain operates in ?waves?.<br />
Almost like a frequency it gives off.<br />
This is why meditation is so<br />
awesome and energizing, because<br />
it puts your mind and body into a<br />
healing wave.<br />
Beta waves are the waves that we<br />
most care about you getting into<br />
because those are your<br />
10<br />
ENERGIZING waves!<br />
And Holiday stress wreck all<br />
sorts of your estrogen and<br />
progesterone hormone levels,<br />
which are key to getting into<br />
those waves.<br />
So to kick-start beta-wave<br />
energy release, simply enjoy 4<br />
-oz of protein rich chicken, beef,<br />
fish, or legumes.<br />
UCLA research says this will<br />
chase away tiredness for 6<br />
hours! Especially if you combine<br />
it with a little 2 minute<br />
mini-meditation after you eat it.<br />
Because that also gets you into<br />
those energizing beta-waves!<br />
There, that should help you<br />
keep rocking this second<br />
wave of holiday fun!<br />
You're awesome, Mom! Keep<br />
it up!

L isten To The<br />
I nterview H ere!<br />
of these everyday hereos that most people never<br />
realize.<br />
This interview with my sister is yet another, shining<br />
example of that.<br />
In fact, it turned out greater than I possibly could<br />
have ever imagined.<br />
I need to let you know something here, dear<br />
Reader, I don?t know where it started, but for as<br />
long as I can remember, I have just been<br />
fascinated with people.<br />
Fascinated about their stories, curious about<br />
them.<br />
Fascinated, and a bit mad, that more people<br />
didn?t know about the amazingness of just<br />
?regular? everyday people.<br />
It is my dream with this Mom Warrior brand<br />
here is to give recognition, understanding,<br />
appreciation, and put into the spotlight the<br />
awesomeness and amazingness of seemingly<br />
everyday, ?normal? people.<br />
With an amazing person sharing life-changing<br />
wisdoms, advice, avoided mistakes? all the while<br />
with a baby feeding on her breast. (yup! Classic<br />
Mom moment!) :)<br />
? a toddler in the background piping in here and<br />
there, and a barking Cavalier King Charles wanting<br />
to get in on the mix.<br />
Without further adieu, here is the summarized<br />
great quotes, lessons learned, and show notes of<br />
an amazing Mom Warrior, mother of 4, business<br />
owner, and?<br />
? stress & tiredness fighting extra-ordinaire? ..<br />
Sabrina!<br />
First quest ion she is asked!...<br />
I started listening to podcasts around 3 years<br />
ago, and it was always ?celebrities? that were<br />
getting interviewed and highlighted. Meanwhile,<br />
I was surrounded by amazing people with<br />
amazing stories, and amazing lessons to share<br />
not only with their listener, but with their loved<br />
ones.<br />
This interview, is no exception to that. I wanted<br />
recognition , appreciation, and their stories told<br />
12
"<br />
Time<br />
"<br />
In your professional<br />
opinion, Sabrina,<br />
One D ay A t A<br />
w hat m akes a great ,<br />
Mom !<br />
?Hands on!? she says!<br />
Then the great one<br />
goes in depth from<br />
there.<br />
She first became a<br />
Mom at aged 16, 5 days<br />
before her 17th<br />
birthday? and she had<br />
no idea what to do!<br />
?Looking back, I had no<br />
idea about my<br />
emotions,? she says<br />
Bragging up her<br />
kiddos!:<br />
"Today Blake, 24, is an<br />
adult, at the start of his<br />
dream career job.<br />
Gage is right at the<br />
beginning of his<br />
adultship, 18.<br />
Then we spend the next<br />
few minutes talking<br />
about having her first 2<br />
boys right away and<br />
what they were like.<br />
Pretty much she knew<br />
she wanted a second<br />
child.<br />
?I don?t want my kids to<br />
be 10 years apart!? she<br />
says.<br />
GREAT QUOTE TIME!<br />
?Whether planned or<br />
unplanned, doesn?t<br />
matter!?<br />
At 4:19 - Here we<br />
talked about my earliest<br />
memory of my big sis!<br />
Her mothering, caring<br />
nature was evident<br />
7<br />
13<br />
even at that young of<br />
"<br />
an age!<br />
Our Mom and Dad were<br />
always having Sabrina<br />
in charge of me! And<br />
she was up to the<br />
responsibility!<br />
At 5:22 - Sabrina?s big<br />
sis protective nature<br />
helped me out in my<br />
early middle and high<br />
school in protecting me<br />
from public school<br />
bullies when I started<br />
going to the Catholic<br />
School.<br />
At 7:09 - ?I remember<br />
tickling you a lot? tickle<br />
torture,? she says<br />
I ask, ?What does Stress<br />
mean to you??<br />
Her answer is probably<br />
one of the best<br />
definitions about Stress<br />
I?ve ever heard!<br />
At 8:51 -- I ask her,<br />
?What is your lowest<br />
"<br />
stress-est point??<br />
Her answer is very<br />
surprising and<br />
surprised me even a bit!<br />
At 9:05 -- Her go-to<br />
strategy for getting<br />
through Stress?<br />
?One day at a time,? is<br />
where her answer<br />
begins!... and her<br />
answer gets better from<br />
there! This alone is<br />
worth GOLD!<br />
Money is one of her top<br />
stressors! As it is for<br />
many good folks.<br />
Not to worry, Mom<br />
Warrior, I am putting<br />
together resources to<br />
help take this off your<br />
plate as a stressor! :)<br />
Starting right now in<br />
this interview for the<br />
next 5 minutes, Sabrina
"<br />
Whether Planned<br />
or Unplanned,<br />
D oesn' t M atter! "<br />
shares some serious<br />
wisdoms and<br />
awesomes about<br />
dealing with money<br />
stress!<br />
HUGE insight into my<br />
sister here at 14:39 ---<br />
all about her ?feeling<br />
the flow?.<br />
* At 15:23 - the mistake<br />
people make with her...<br />
speaking and sales<br />
classes where that<br />
confidence in herself<br />
started growing!<br />
Here?s that book again<br />
showing up?<br />
they see it and I don?t,<br />
"<br />
then I should probably<br />
go get it,?<br />
At 18:50 -- She says, ?My<br />
husband Keith was my<br />
biggest supporter<br />
building up the<br />
business.?<br />
At 19:15 -- here?s where<br />
she starts talking about<br />
having her sister<br />
around! And what it?s<br />
like having a sister!<br />
Here?s where we start<br />
talking about Zayah,<br />
too! Her 3 year old, and<br />
her first daughter!<br />
This part is so funny,<br />
Sabrina basically<br />
?winged? it with her first<br />
2 born. Doing the best<br />
"<br />
she could with what she<br />
had and knew in her<br />
teens and early 20?s?<br />
? then she sort of<br />
wised up having Zayah<br />
at 36-ish and then<br />
Tavin, her youngest, at<br />
39, she says to herself?<br />
?I?m going to read some<br />
books this time!?<br />
This category of<br />
?Parenting? and even<br />
.."that I have the world<br />
and has everything so<br />
awesome for me!... but<br />
it?s not! Things are a<br />
little stressful right<br />
now!? -she laughedly<br />
explains!<br />
Sabrina reveals that for<br />
YEARS, she never<br />
believed in herself! It<br />
wasn?t until she started<br />
taking classes for it...<br />
Dale Carnegie public<br />
Her other favorite book<br />
is called ?Super Baby?<br />
How to Win Friends &<br />
Influence People by<br />
Dale Carnegie<br />
8 years ago, she put in<br />
there as one her goals:<br />
?To one day own a<br />
well-known business?<br />
At 17:24 -- GREAT<br />
QUOTE ALERT!-- ?People<br />
believed in me, and if<br />
14<br />
your Coach here as a<br />
sort of Parenting Expert<br />
(I?m more in the
Parenting Stress Expert realm and inventor of this ?Micro-Nation Parenting style)...<br />
"<br />
? this realm of ?Parenting? is all so NEW! For decades and decades, poor Parents just didn?t know that it<br />
was possible to ?be good at it?.<br />
That there were smart ways and not so smart ways to do Parenting.<br />
DID I DO GOOD<br />
WITH THE POWERS<br />
& GIFTS OUR<br />
MAKER ENTRUSTED<br />
ME WITH?<br />
This category of ?Parenting? is less than 50 years old, and really our kids' generation is the first one to<br />
"<br />
actually have the chance to experience it.<br />
That?s why this interview with Sabrina is so fascinating, because she really has almost 2 generations<br />
apart of children with having kids so young, and then again in her later 30?s.<br />
What a fabulous woman she is, isn?t she?<br />
Here?s the big tip from that book, Super Baby, she says,<br />
?It says we have from birth from 3 to make a good human. That?s it. Lots of Love.?<br />
From this minute, 21:00, and for the next 5 minutes, she get's super insightful into this topic!<br />
At 23:30 -- ?I see everyone doing things for their children and I think ?they can do it!?. Zayah is eating<br />
with a fork at age 1 and she?s doing great.?<br />
At 24:00 -- here she talks about Zayah! What she?s into. What she is like. What her Mom predicts she?ll<br />
be like when she?s older! We?ll keep this special part marked in this interview to come back to in a few<br />
years to see if Sabrina was right or not!<br />
At 25:38 -- quote: ?Children are really different to a Mom and a Dad?<br />
Remember this quote, won?t you, Mom Warrior? And let me pull it out and unpack it a little bit?<br />
Children come hardwired to WANT the attention and love of typically one parent over the other.<br />
They both are important but it?s one that they want more. Be paying attention to things they respond<br />
to and don?t respond to when in the presence of in 7mentioning the other one.<br />

At 26:48 -- Here?s where Sabrina lets us in on<br />
one of her BEST stress releases?<br />
? and stress preventers.<br />
? .. And where she gets her energy! (Hint: it?s<br />
IT WAS THE<br />
COMPETITIVE SIDE " OF ME<br />
"<br />
when she works out!)<br />
Another cool quote (Sabrina is full of them!) at<br />
27:20 --<br />
?I was just sick and tired of my body hurting?<br />
Then for the next few minutes, our Mom Hero<br />
Sabrina talks about her workout routine and her<br />
nutrition surrounding her workouts?<br />
? basically she shows up to a circuit training,<br />
exercise class. Takes the thinking and planning<br />
and motivation OUT, and all she worries about<br />
is SHOWING UP!<br />
Sabrina was my first personal training client<br />
back in 2010! And I helped get her ready for a<br />
Body Building show! It was so much fun!<br />
28:35 -- ?It was the competitive side of me,? she<br />
said.<br />
Right at this point in our interview, your Coach<br />
here had a revelation, an a-ha, based on what<br />
Sabrina just said? Here it is:<br />
? We get pretty crazy with our stress &<br />
tiredness fighting stuff and how to win those<br />
battles: from supplements, to routines, to<br />
interactions with your loved ones?<br />
? .. And sometimes it?s something as simple as<br />
what Sabrina just nailed right on the head:<br />
?Channeling your competition nature?<br />
- Whether it is against other people<br />
- Against your past self<br />
- Or even against those that brought you<br />
down in the past. Hurt you. Rejected you.<br />
Told you that you weren?t good enough.<br />
Weren?t pretty enough.<br />
It?s channeling that Mom Warrior within, bringing<br />
her out, and PROVE THEM WRONG!<br />
I didn?t know what I was doing at first with this<br />
Mom Warrior brand, but I believe that it was<br />
experiences like this and with Sabrina being my<br />
first personal training client over 8 years ago ?<br />
? and seeing what channeling her competitive<br />
nature, then LOTS of amazing brave Moms to<br />
follow... what that did for their confidence, stress<br />
relief, and having energy that won?t quit!<br />
The seeds for this Mom Warrior brand were<br />
planted long ago thanks to Mom Heroes like this<br />
Sabrina!<br />
?I?ve found the love of hot yoga so nice,? she said.<br />
16
That is also a fabulous stress<br />
reliever and shield that your<br />
Coach here highly endorses!<br />
?Sweating is awesome sauce,?<br />
our Mom Hero adds.<br />
-- we talk about her COFFEE<br />
some more! Especially about<br />
her cycling off of coffee when<br />
her brain starts screaming at<br />
her with headaches when she<br />
doesn?t get it! Totally smart to<br />
do to let your body know who<br />
is in charge!<br />
At 32:04 -- How Mom Hero<br />
Sabrina likes her coffee: With<br />
almond milk, honey, and<br />
cinnamon!<br />
Here she talked about eating<br />
?After you eat that, you just don?t<br />
feel like doing anything.?<br />
How true is that! It makes battled<br />
stress and tiredness that much<br />
harder when your body not only<br />
doesn?t have the fuel to go, but at<br />
the same time, takes away<br />
ENERGY and ADDS stress in<br />
dealing with all that needless<br />
calories, toxins, and poisons.<br />
So next time you?re tempted by it<br />
(because it is tempting) take a look<br />
at your children and ask yourself...<br />
is it worth it?<br />
34:03 -- Sabrina shares one of my<br />
favorite go-to quotes:<br />
?FOOD IS FUEL. In order to fuel<br />
your mind, you must first fuel your<br />
It?s okay to have it be for fun<br />
here and there, but just know<br />
that that is your choice and you<br />
are choosing to live with the<br />
consequences.<br />
Look at it like it is FUEL for your<br />
Mom Warrior Machine to give<br />
your children the love and<br />
happiness that you know they<br />
deserve!<br />
So proud of Sabrina here! At age<br />
3, Sabrina has taught Zayah all<br />
about one of the bigger bad<br />
guys out there, SUGAR, and<br />
Zayah already has more control<br />
and more power over SUGAR,<br />
than 90% of adults.<br />
(you?re probably in that top 10%<br />
because you?re cool like that!) :)<br />
Brilliant Zayah quote: ?I have<br />
enough candy? -- how often do<br />
you hear a 3 year old saying<br />
that!?<br />
junk, crappy foods and drinks:<br />
body.?<br />

"<br />
"<br />
IF YOU WANT TO BE<br />
SOMETHING, YOU<br />
HAVE TO GO GET IT.<br />
NOBODY DOES IT<br />
FOR YOU<br />
"<br />
"<br />
At 33:57 -- ?I tell her<br />
Sabrina that says<br />
I couldn?t agree more<br />
your kids just want you<br />
?sugar tricks her brain.<br />
And it tells her that she<br />
wants more.?And she<br />
gets it?<br />
=> That there is a great<br />
way to teach this to<br />
your kiddos if you<br />
would rather not have<br />
sugar ruin their life.<br />
At 36:31 -- she shares<br />
how emotional eating<br />
gets started! Not your<br />
fault, but you can still<br />
do something about it if<br />
you?ve made this<br />
mistake!<br />
At 38:38 -- this is what<br />
your Coach here will<br />
have to get a shirt for<br />
with Mom Hero here.<br />
?I?m allergic to average?<br />
Anybody that ever<br />
Isn?t that an awesome<br />
accomplished<br />
quote!?<br />
something great, that<br />
@39:28 -- I ask her,<br />
they really wanted,<br />
what wisdom would<br />
NEVER do we here, ?Oh,<br />
you like to pass on? Her<br />
I wish i didn?t work so<br />
response:<br />
much for this.?<br />
?If you want to be<br />
Sadly, it?s a habit and a<br />
something, you have to<br />

Don?t let it be your kids,<br />
be rich. If you want all<br />
these great things, you<br />
need to get an<br />
education, a skill, and<br />
work your butt off, and<br />
not spend the money<br />
you make. You have to<br />
work, work, work. ?<br />
Mom Warrior!<br />
?Work before play? --<br />
another of Sabrina's<br />
?maxims?<br />
We get close to the<br />
heart at 42:01 -- A lot of<br />
times, Mom Warrior,<br />
18<br />
close so they can talk to<br />
you about their<br />
emotions.<br />
To have a safe place to<br />
express how they feel<br />
about certain things.<br />
This is something I<br />
struggled with for the<br />
longest time too. And it<br />
sucks for Parents back<br />
then, like me and<br />
Sabrina, because<br />
parents then didn?t<br />
know what we know<br />
now.<br />
And talking about kids<br />
about their emotions,<br />
just getting stuff out<br />
there, is a HUGE one. To
"<br />
AS SILLY AS IT IS, I<br />
JUST LOVE MY SISTER. I<br />
LOVE TALKINGTOHER. I<br />
LOVE LISTENINGTOHER<br />

And then helping and<br />
we go DEEP and<br />

in, feel safe around, to<br />
understand, to<br />
encourage, to be on<br />

You?re so good about<br />
that already, so keep at<br />

WOW! At 43:15, Sista<br />

Tantrums? YIKES! Talk about a<br />
horror show on steroids.<br />
Let?s talks about them for a<br />
second since they are one of the<br />
most stressful times in a parent?s<br />
life and here I am one of the<br />
leading experts on Mom?s Stress<br />
& Tiredness, especially with<br />
STRESS as it comes from those<br />
kiddos!<br />
2 t hings before w e<br />
bust int o your 5-st ep<br />
handling process:<br />
normally and not a sign that you<br />
are failing as a Mom, as a loving<br />
Parent.<br />
There are ways to minimize<br />
tantrums and get them to not<br />
happen.<br />
Such as practicing Micro-Nation<br />
Parenting...<br />
You can click the link here to<br />
download your free pdf<br />
download of the book that<br />
explains how you would do that.<br />
Tantrums shouldn?t be a source<br />
of contention between you two,<br />
though. It should just be one<br />
more thing taken in stride with<br />
this beautiful messy<br />
responsibility that is raising<br />
unexperienced little beings.<br />
The second thing:<br />
2.) Tantrums are not in control by<br />
your child. He/she doesn?t do<br />
them by choice.<br />
There is no ?logical?, rational way<br />
for him to work through it.<br />
She doesn?t ?decide? to have a<br />
meltdown. A tantrum. They don?t<br />
do them to spite you.<br />
1. First things first, Mom, they are<br />
not something to be avoided like<br />
the plague. They are perfected<br />
7<br />
21<br />
Now there are a few kiddos out<br />
there that start using them as a<br />
tool to get what they want. It
does depend on your<br />
history of them.<br />
When they are<br />
happening she doesn?t<br />
have the ability to<br />
?think? her way out of<br />
them.<br />
Let me give you an<br />
example?<br />
I was at a McDonalds<br />
Playplace the other day<br />
(don?t worry, I didn?t eat<br />
any of their food! I just<br />
camp out there<br />
sometimes to do some<br />
writing and laptop<br />
work)<br />
There I witnessed a<br />
tantrum go down when<br />
it was time to go and<br />
the child was<br />
understandably not<br />
wanting to. He wanted<br />
to keep playing and<br />
having fun.<br />
When he had himself a<br />
good fit over it, his<br />
Mom grabs him up and<br />
sits him down and<br />
starts asking all sorts of<br />
QUESTIONS:<br />
QUESTIONS she was<br />
expecting answers to.<br />
Do you remember we<br />
talked about this before<br />
we came here?<br />
· Aren?t you excited to<br />
go to Bible school? (I<br />
take it that?s where they<br />
were headed next)<br />
· You?re making Mom<br />
mad, you don?t want to<br />
make Mom mad, do all other functions. It?s a<br />
you?<br />
runaway freight train<br />
that can?t be derailed.<br />
I?ve seen Parents<br />
We can only wait until<br />
handle tantrums<br />
it?s done.<br />
HORRIBLY and this was<br />
nothing close to the When a child gets like<br />
worst I?ve seen.<br />
that, the only way<br />
What I wish she would through is to ride it out<br />
have known, and what I<br />
and help your child ride<br />
am passing onto you<br />
now about tantrums, is in out NOT alone.<br />
that they are out of the<br />
child?s control.<br />
Before we get to the 5,<br />
the ONE RULE THAT<br />
We have 3 brains..<br />
RULES THEM all,<br />
The first one is our though, Mom, is you.<br />
reptilian ?croc? brain..<br />
You control your<br />
We won?t get too much<br />
emotions. You take care<br />
into it now.<br />
of you first.<br />
One is responsible for<br />
Put plans in place for<br />
feelings emotions.<br />
you to cool down. Not<br />
The other is all about take things personally.<br />
logical, analyze and To not say or do<br />
thinking.<br />
something out of anger<br />
that you?ll regret.<br />
When the emotional<br />
side is lit up, it shuts off<br />
22<br />
You feel the hurt within<br />
you boiling up.<br />
You?re stressed. You?re<br />
overworked. You?re<br />
tired. Identify the weak<br />
points in your day.<br />
Worse comes to worse,<br />
and you feel the anger<br />
and your defense<br />
mechanisms start to<br />
overwhelm you?<br />
? you simply say: ?I<br />
don?t know how to<br />
RESPOND to this right<br />
now. So Mommy is<br />
going to leave the<br />
situation and collect<br />
her thoughts.?<br />
You?re capable of<br />
thinking. You?re capable<br />
of separating emotion<br />
from the behavior that<br />
typically arises from<br />
that emotion.
Parenting a child tends<br />
to bring up issues we<br />
had lay dormant within<br />
ourselves from our own<br />
childhood.<br />
We tend to lash out and<br />
respond as we were<br />
parented.<br />
You?re doing a<br />
magnificent job of<br />
choosing a new path for<br />
you and your Little. The<br />
times today don?t make<br />
it easy. We seem to<br />
have everything<br />
working against us.<br />
That?s why you?re the<br />
Mom Warrior and your<br />
Love will see you<br />
through. All you need is<br />
a little bit of help.<br />
So here?s 5 very<br />
practical things you can<br />
do when that tantrum<br />
hits to handle it<br />
awesomely and have it<br />
turn into a bonding<br />
moment instead of a<br />
relationship killer.<br />
Just take a look at<br />
where those tantrums<br />
typically hit and let it be<br />
your little reminder<br />
about what to do.<br />
(P.S. this also works<br />
great for ADULTS that<br />
are having TANTRUMS,<br />
like a husband) ;)<br />
St ep 1. Em pat hize<br />
While Nam ing The<br />
Em ot ion (if you know<br />
it ? if you don?t know For example...<br />
it , just em pat hize.)<br />
?Yup, you?re angry right<br />
When your beautiful now. I understand<br />
baby was born into this you?re angry because<br />
world and they were you wanted to keep<br />
crying because they playing but it?s time to<br />
were hungry, what did go.?<br />
you do?<br />
St ep 2: St at e t he next<br />
Did you name-call her st eps w hile<br />
and be mean to her. em pat hizing som e<br />
Did you use your words m ore (t he biggest<br />
to try to convince her t hing t hey need t o<br />
NOT to be hungry? know is t hat t hey<br />
aren?t alone.)<br />
No! You didn?t blame<br />
the crying on HER. You say:<br />
You blamed it on the "I can see that you?re<br />
hunger. (then of course angry now. I won?t let<br />
you probably fed her you be alone with that<br />
and soothed her feeling.<br />
because you?re an<br />
amazing Mom!)<br />
Mommy is here for you.<br />
When you cool down<br />
Same lesson here. you won?t be angry<br />
Don?t blame the kiddo.<br />
anymore and we?ll talk<br />
Blame the emotion! 7<br />
23<br />
about how you will<br />
handle this better next<br />
time instead of<br />
dumping your cheerios<br />
on the floor."<br />
St ep 3: Mirror your<br />
child so t hat she has a<br />
fram e of reference for<br />
t hat em ot ion.<br />
?Your face looks like this.<br />
Your arms are doing this.<br />
You want to hit stuff and<br />
take out your anger on<br />
the dog. I understand ya,<br />
kid! When Mommy gets<br />
angry, she wants to (x)<br />
There?s much better ways<br />
to release that anger<br />
than that though and I?m<br />
going to show you!
If you feel up to it, feel free<br />
to turn this into a laughing<br />
matter for you two.<br />
Over-Exaggerate their facial<br />
and bodily manners. If they<br />
are whining, you go ahead<br />
and whine but whine louder<br />
and sound really silly.<br />
A great piece of parenting<br />
secret is to follow the<br />
laughter. The more smiles<br />
and laughter that are known<br />
to a child, the better it will be<br />
for them and the<br />
relationship between you<br />
two!<br />
St ep 4: NOW go ahead and<br />
redirect t heir energy<br />
:)<br />
?I see you?re so upset right<br />
now. I am going to help you<br />
calm down. Would you draw<br />
for me a picture that shows<br />
how mad you are.<br />
-or-<br />
?I see you?re so upset right<br />
now.<br />
Together we are going to do<br />
some angry push-ups and<br />
get ourselves so strong and<br />
tough!?<br />
(this one works great for us<br />
boys, obviously) ;)<br />
(WARNING: t he previous<br />
st eps m ight fizzle out t he<br />
t ant rum so t here m ight not<br />
be any need for st ep 5)<br />
St ep 5: Reassure your child.<br />
Let t hem know your Love is<br />
NEVER on t he line.<br />
?You get as angry as you want,<br />
sweetie, nothing you do will<br />
ever make me love you less.<br />
You have all of my love forever.<br />
You know that right? (wait for<br />
the nod) Good. Let?s take a<br />
break and since you?re such a<br />
good problem solver,<br />
you tell me what you could have<br />
done instead.?<br />
No matter what happened in<br />
Step 4, whether you are still<br />
riding out the emotion together<br />
or not, always reminding your<br />
child on where he stands with<br />
acceptance of your Love is<br />
ALWAYS a good idea.<br />
Remember, it?s just emotions<br />
and she just doesn?t understand<br />
them yet. She needs help<br />
getting guidance and she is<br />
calling to YOU for that help.<br />
Just as you were there for your<br />
best friend when she got her<br />
heart broke. It?s the same level<br />
of pain, fear, frustration, and<br />
not-knowing going on with your<br />
24<br />
Little one.<br />
You?ll do the right thing, I know how<br />
wonderful and great you are! :)<br />
Now , before you leave m e?<br />
? rem em ber, one of the biggest<br />
takeaways you can have from<br />
today?s learning experience about<br />
tantrums, Mom, is that they are a<br />
result of an EMOTION.<br />
The behavioral, physical<br />
manifestation of something they<br />
are experiencing on the inside.<br />
It?s important that you pass onto<br />
them that they aren?t wrong for<br />
feeling the emotion. If they start<br />
feeling that?s wrong to be angry and<br />
they start bottling up that emotion<br />
because it has led to behavior that<br />
led to pain given to them by you?<br />
? bottling up emotions and not<br />
letting those emotions get felt --<br />
has negative consequences all<br />
throughout the rest of their life.<br />
So it?s great of you to establish that<br />
healthy habit of accepting the<br />
emotions as they come.<br />
Loving the emotion of laughter,<br />
because it?s a behavioral<br />
manifestation of joy and happiness,<br />
just as much as meltdowns as a
esult of anger and disappointment.<br />
You?re a magnificent Mother already, my brave one, strategies and steps like this will only make the<br />
greatness and worthiness in you shine all the more!<br />
Love you lots more next time!<br />
And remember, you're not alone in this fight for your children?s future!<br />

Urging his horse to a<br />
gallop, he races to her<br />
castle, where she is<br />
The noble knight pulls<br />
out his sword and slays<br />
the dragon. As a result,<br />
he is lovingly received by<br />
the princess.<br />
As the gates open he is<br />
welcomed and<br />
celebrated by the family<br />
of the princess and the<br />
townspeople.<br />
He is invited to live in the<br />
town and is<br />
acknowledged as a hero.<br />
He and the princess fall<br />
in love. A month later the<br />
noble knight goes off on<br />
another trip. On his way<br />
back, he hears his<br />
beloved princess crying<br />
out for help.<br />
Another dragon has<br />
attacked the castle. When<br />
the knight arrives he<br />
pulls out his sword to<br />
slay the dragon.<br />
Before he swings, the<br />
princess cries out from<br />
7 the tower,<br />
27<br />
use this noose. It will<br />
work better.?<br />
She throws him the<br />
noose and motions to<br />
him instructions about<br />
how to use it. He<br />
hesitatingly follows her<br />
instructions. He wraps it<br />
around the dragon?s neck<br />
and then pulls hard.<br />
The dragon dies and<br />
everyone rejoices. At the<br />
celebration dinner the<br />
knight feels he didn?t<br />
really do anything.<br />
Somehow, because he<br />
used her noose and<br />
didn?t use his sword, he<br />
doesn?t quite feel worthy<br />
of the town?s trust and<br />
admiration.<br />
After the event he is<br />
slightly depressed and<br />
forgets to shine his<br />
armor. A month later he<br />
goes on yet another trip.<br />
As he leaves with his
sword, the princess reminds him to be careful and<br />
tells him to take the noose.<br />
On his way home, he sees yet another dragon<br />
attacking the castle.<br />
This time he rushes forward with his sword but<br />
hesitates, thinking maybe he should use the noose. In<br />
that moment of hesitation the dragon breathes fire<br />
and burns his right arm.<br />
He wonders, ?Should I use my sword, the nose or<br />
the poison? What would the princess say??<br />
For a moment he is confused. But then he<br />
remembers how he had felt before he knew the<br />
princess, back in the days when he only carried a<br />
sword.<br />
With a burst of renewed confidence he throws off<br />
the noose and poison... and charges the dragon<br />
with his trusted sword. He slays the dragon and<br />
the townspeople rejoice. The knight in shining<br />
armor never returned to his princess.<br />
He stayed in this new village and lived happily ever<br />
after.<br />
In confusion he looks up and sees the waving from<br />
the castle window.<br />
?Use the poison,?she yells. ?The noose doesn?t work.?<br />
She throws him the poison, which he pours into the<br />
dragon?s mouth, and the dragon dies.<br />
He eventually married, but only after making sure<br />
his new partner knew nothing about nooses and<br />
poisons. Remembering that within every man is a<br />
knight in shining armour is a powerful metaphor<br />
to help you remember a man?s primary needs.<br />
Everyone rejoices and celebrates, but the knight feels<br />
ashamed. A month later, he goes on another trip. As<br />
he leaves with his sword, the princess reminds him to<br />
be careful, and to bring the noose and the poison.<br />
He is annoyed by her suggestions but brings them just<br />
in case. This time on his journey he hears another<br />
woman in distress.<br />
As he rushes to her call, his depression is lifted and he<br />
feels confident and alive. But as he draws his sword to<br />
slay the dragon, he again hesitates.<br />
28
Although a man may appreciate<br />
caring and assistance<br />
sometimes, too much of it will<br />
lessen his confidence or turn<br />
him off.<br />
You likely have a honey-do list.<br />
If you don?t have one, go ahead<br />
and start!<br />
went ahead and used my<br />
lightning fast reflexes and killed<br />
that bug DEAD!<br />
Bethany reaches over to me and<br />
hugs me tight and says?<br />
~From John Gray?s Wonderful<br />
Book, Men Are From Mars,<br />
Women Are From Venus.<br />
Now let?s jump in and<br />
diagnose that story, pull it<br />
apart a bit and see what we<br />
got . See if you understand the<br />
big takeaways.<br />
The #1 t hing:<br />
Your man NEEDS to save the<br />
day! He NEEDS to save his<br />
princess. He NEEDS missions<br />
to do in your honor!<br />
(ESPECIALLY if his love<br />
language is ?acts of service!?)<br />
He wants to slay dragons in<br />
your honor, my dear. Problem<br />
is, there are no dragons to<br />
slay. So what can you do<br />
instead?<br />
Then make a big deal about that<br />
when he ?conquers and slays?<br />
things on that list.<br />
Just like the Knight did when they<br />
threw a huge banquet in his<br />
honor.<br />
I shared this story on my wedding<br />
night in sharing the story about<br />
the MOMENT I knew I wanted to<br />
spend forever with my Bethany.<br />
The MOMENT I knew that I fell in<br />
love with her. I?ll tell it to you again,<br />
here, if you want?<br />
It was on our second date and<br />
after going to the drive-in theatre,<br />
got together after the movie and<br />
cuddled at her place. On her couch<br />
we watched The Best Of Chris<br />
Farley On Saturday Night Live.<br />
?Oh my HERO!?<br />
Holy cow, did that feel<br />
awesome! I remember feeling<br />
that and having her hold me<br />
tight and thinking, ?Uh-oh, I'm<br />
done for!<br />
I really love this girl. I don?t ever<br />
want her to let go!?<br />
And it happened because I was<br />
able to be her Knight there!<br />
So make a big deal about them<br />
?slaying? that changed lightbulb!<br />
Don?t just do a boring<br />
?Thank-you, here?s another ?job?<br />
for you to do? ?<br />
Instead throw a FEAST in their<br />
honor! Make him feel special<br />
and powerful!<br />
When you do that stuff for him,<br />
he will naturally want to loosen<br />
up and do stuff for you!<br />
An annoying fly comes buzzing<br />
around, ruining our romance. It<br />
landed near us on the couch and I<br />
7<br />
29<br />
That?s when the Law of<br />
Reciprocity kicks in, Mom. But it<br />
works from you showing it first.<br />
It?s in our Man Code DNA to
save damsels in distress. You?re that damsel that<br />
we want to save.<br />
Point #2<br />
Us men need jobs to do, but we tend to not like<br />
getting help from you in getting it done. As silly<br />
as that sounds it?s so true. You, in your loving<br />
nature, see that helping as showing your love?<br />
It?s how you show that you care, by helping.<br />
This is one of the more frustrating things about<br />
us men, I admit.<br />
ESPECIALLY when YOU know that you?re right!<br />
(which 99% of the time you are because you<br />
ARE the smarter species, just so you know) ;)<br />
"<br />
THAT KNIGHT IN<br />
THAT STORY WAS<br />
VERY<br />
SELF-CENTERED<br />
"<br />
That?s when complaints start coming in of you<br />
being a nag, when in reality you?re just trying to<br />
help!<br />
Sir Lancelot over in Camelot slayed HIS dragon<br />
without any help. Which means he?s so much<br />
better than me! Uh-oh, is my princess going to<br />
leave me for him!<br />
Then doubts and insecurities come rolling in.<br />
One last point ?<br />
This is the 21st century? a man?s ego needs to<br />
lighten up a bit.<br />
Know that the world doesn?t revolve around him<br />
and ?feeling like a man? all the time.<br />
You give us a job to do, a dragon to slay, and by<br />
slaying that dragon in your honor WITHOUT<br />
help, its what makes us feel capable and our life<br />
now has meaning.<br />
By getting your help, (especially help from a<br />
GIRL) it means that we aren?t worthy of your<br />
love. We are worthless. That you don?t trust us<br />
to get the job done.<br />
Our confidence is shot.<br />
That knight in that story was very self-centered.<br />
Even though it?s a good representation of what?s<br />
going on in a dude?s brain half the time, that story<br />
spoke more to the MAN?S shortcomings than the<br />
woman?s.<br />
The Princess was RIGHT! If she wasn?t given good<br />
instruction, he probably would have died! Instead<br />
of being a jerk and wishing she would just leave<br />
him alone and let him doing his slaying thing, he<br />
could have appreciated her!<br />
30
Oh, and another thing about that dumb Knight, his woman DIDN?T CARE that he wanted to<br />
do it himself. She was still very thankful for him and didn?t see him any less!<br />
In fact, she probably saw him MORE manly!<br />
How proud of him she was for LISTENING to him!<br />
So he screwed that all up!<br />
Besides, Mom?<br />
? You don?t need a MAN to save your day! You don?t need a hero!<br />
? you don?t need a man to feel validated. It?s your time, Momma-dearest!<br />
If you?re in distress, you go ahead and be your own hero!<br />
You have no idea how wonderful and powerful you are.<br />
It?s about time you went on and showed it!<br />
Your Coach here is honored to play his small part in your revolution!<br />
She's so good about letting me feel like<br />
her HERO! l)<br />

?ARRRRR, What I<br />
need is SLEEP! not<br />
reignite our past<br />
passions,?-our<br />
Mom Hero said to<br />
herself as she<br />
stared at the<br />
empty suitcases<br />
trying to decide<br />
what to pack.<br />
Her husband<br />
suggested that<br />
they just needed<br />
to get away. To<br />
revisit where they<br />
went for their<br />
honeymoon. He<br />
wanted to recreate<br />
the experience a<br />
bit. Go back in<br />
time before life<br />
got so hectic and<br />
overwhelming.<br />
She was so tired<br />
that she couldn?t<br />
even pack for a<br />
single night, much<br />
less be much fun<br />
for her husband<br />
for this romantic<br />
giveaway.<br />
With regret and<br />
deep pain in her<br />
voice she told her<br />
husband that she<br />
couldn?t do it.<br />
?I?m so sorry,<br />
sweetie, you were<br />
so looking forward<br />
to this. I just can?t<br />
do this. I?m so<br />
tired. I need to<br />
rest. You<br />
32<br />
understand,<br />
right??<br />
?Of course, my<br />
love.? He<br />
responded.<br />
That?s when he<br />
knew. Knew<br />
something was up.<br />
This wasn?t like<br />
her. She used to<br />
have so much<br />
energy. So much<br />
vitality and zest for<br />
life.<br />
Sure a lot has<br />
happened these<br />
last few years, but<br />
still. Something<br />
didn?t feel right.<br />
He felt so<br />
powerless for his<br />
true love. That?s<br />
when he knew he<br />
had to find<br />
answers for her.<br />
To step up and be<br />
the man that she<br />
is proud to be<br />
married to.<br />
Stressed and<br />
Tired<br />
(som et hing w e<br />
here at Mom<br />

:) )<br />
In her 40?s, her<br />
health<br />
plummeted. She<br />
felt off ? almost ill<br />
with debilitating
"<br />
"<br />
CAFFEINE BECAME<br />
HER CRUTCH<br />
"<br />
fatigue. She would<br />
go to bed around<br />
8 pm, sometimes<br />
beating her<br />
daughter to bed?<br />
? but every<br />
morning she<br />
would wake up<br />
exhausted and<br />
confused. It would<br />
feel like she hadn?t<br />
slept at all. This<br />
would spill into<br />
her day to day<br />
stuff that needed<br />
to get done.<br />
Including taking<br />
care of her<br />
high-energy<br />
toddler.<br />
Around this time,<br />
she was caring for<br />
her Father, who<br />
was really sick in<br />
the intensive care<br />
unit. She<br />
practically lived at<br />
the hospital in<br />
being there for her<br />
dad in his final<br />
days.<br />
That alone was<br />
stressing her out.<br />
She?d been<br />
drinking a lot of<br />
hospital coffee just<br />
to get through the<br />
day.<br />
Caffeine became<br />
her crutch?<br />
... before long, the<br />
number of cups<br />
kept creeping up<br />
and up. First 3<br />
cups a day, then<br />
four, then five.<br />
7<br />
33<br />
Then whole pots.<br />
Her entire life and<br />
day became one<br />
big ?budgeting? act<br />
with her energy?<br />
For example?<br />
whenever she was<br />
faced with an<br />
activity that before<br />
she didn?t think<br />
twice about?<br />
· ? .. like playing<br />
with her daughter,<br />
· going on a date<br />
with her hubz,<br />
· or hanging out<br />
with her friends?<br />
? NOW, she would<br />
"<br />
have to ask<br />
herself:<br />
?Do I have energy<br />
to do this?...- or<br />
will it make me so<br />
tired that I?m<br />
FORCED to miss<br />
something later??<br />
--> A condition<br />
that has come to<br />
be called<br />
AGONIZED<br />
ENERGY<br />
ALLOCATION<br />
(A.E.A.)<br />
After a proud life,<br />
with so much love<br />
for his family, her<br />
Dad ended up<br />
passing away.<br />
(may he rest in<br />
peace).
In his final words to his daughter, he<br />
told our Mom Hero how proud of her<br />
he was.<br />
To continue to do her best and care of<br />
his granddaughter, who was the<br />
apple of his eye.<br />
Even in those final days in the<br />
hospital, whenever his high-energy<br />
little granddaughter angel came<br />
running into the room, he couldn?t<br />
help but smile.<br />
?Promise me,? he said to her.<br />
?Promise me that you will continue to<br />
do a good job raising her.?<br />
?Of course, Dad. I promise. You<br />
showed me the way, Dad. You were<br />
the best Father a daughter could ever<br />
ask for. I love you so much, Dad.? ?<br />
she replied back through teary eyes.<br />
And with her energy plummeting<br />
more and more with each passing<br />
week, she felt like she was letting her<br />
Father down.<br />
Like she was breaking that Promise<br />
she made to her Father. And she felt<br />
powerless in trying to stop it. Which<br />
made it even more frustrating.<br />
The stress and strain was not only<br />
affecting her?<br />
...it was infecting the lives of those<br />
closest to her,<br />
34<br />
? her beloved husband and daughter!<br />
Before long other symptoms started<br />
showing up ? frustrating brain fog,<br />
heavy headaches, feeling WAAAY older<br />
than what she was.<br />
She knew she needed help. After<br />
months of practically living in the<br />
hospital, it was her turn to become the<br />
patient.<br />
>>> But that just left her more bruised,<br />
beaten up, confused, and feeling lost.<br />
One doctor she visited simply brushed<br />
her aside and said it was just normal<br />
stress and grief. He suggested that she<br />
would just had to ?ride it out.?<br />
She knew that wasn?t it though. So she<br />
saw others.<br />
Another doctor quipped:<br />
?You?re getting older. Your energy reserves<br />
aren?t what they used to be. You?re just<br />
going to have to accept it.?<br />
Of course, she knew she was getting<br />
older, but this felt way worse. No<br />
matter how much she slept, it felt like
an accomplishment just to survive the<br />
day.<br />
She got really scared when yet another<br />
doctor wanted to test her for<br />
EVERYTHING. She anxiously awaited<br />
the results and they came back with?<br />
? NOTHING. Nothing conclusive.<br />
And as the months dragged on and on,<br />
she feared that she would never again<br />
regain her active live. That she would<br />
remain a SHELL of who she once was.<br />
It only got worse and she feared for<br />
the safety of her daughter. For her<br />
marriage. She had dreams and more<br />
she wanted to do with her life, and<br />
with each passing weary day, she was<br />
losing hope that they would be made<br />
real.<br />
?Mommy, why don?t you play with me<br />
anymore? ? her daughter said sadly to<br />
her.<br />
?I?m sorry, Sweetie, so sorry. Mommy is<br />
super tired.?<br />
Became the standard response and<br />
before long, her daughter stopped even<br />
trying to connect to her Mother.<br />
Seeing her so tired was hard on her<br />
husband, and not just on their<br />
love-making life either. He was worried<br />
she was getting too dependent on<br />
caffeine. They had more than one fight<br />
about her coffee drinking.<br />
He was convinced that it was making<br />
things worse. It was her life line to<br />
getting through the day!<br />
Like Rose clang to that makeshift raft at<br />
the end of Titanic, she glared at her<br />
hubby with eyes that said?<br />
?Just try to take away my COFFEE! It?s<br />
the only thing that?s helping me<br />
survive!?<br />

?Strange? Answers At Last!<br />
Wanting to be the ?Knight in Shining<br />
Armor? for his wife, our Mom Hero?s<br />
hubs set off on an adventure to discover<br />
who the culprit was for his wife?s<br />
downfall.<br />
He missed his wife. He missed the<br />
person she was. This wasn?t the woman<br />
he married.<br />
The one he fell in love with. This person<br />
was a shell of her former self! He wanted<br />
her Light back!<br />
That breath-taking smile that blew him<br />
way. He wanted that back. He couldn?t
"<br />
THEY COULD HAVE<br />
"MOLD...<br />
"<br />
even remember<br />
the last time she<br />
flashed that smile.<br />
He loved her so<br />
much and wasn?t<br />
going to go down<br />
without a fight! He<br />
pulled inspiration<br />
from her. She was<br />
ever the fighter<br />
herself! (as are<br />
you, Mom Warrior)<br />
Hubs started<br />
digging into coffee<br />
and how it?s<br />
processed and<br />
made. He learned<br />
that if coffee<br />
beans aren?t<br />
grown or<br />
harvested cleanly,<br />
they could have<br />
MOLD.<br />
That mold then<br />
produces toxins<br />
called mycotoxins<br />
that clamp down<br />
on your energy<br />
reserves? slowly<br />
stealing your<br />
energy.<br />
She asked her<br />
doctor about<br />
these toxins, and<br />
again our Mom<br />
Hero was<br />
disappointed.<br />
He knew nothing.<br />
It wasn?t his fault,<br />
he?s so busy and<br />
overloaded as it is.<br />
They don?t have<br />
the time (or<br />
ENERGY!)<br />
themselves to dig<br />
deeper into a<br />
36<br />
single subject like<br />
this.<br />
But Mom Hero?s<br />
husband was<br />
becoming quite<br />
the expert though!<br />
He kept passing<br />
along research he<br />
found through the<br />
Vanderbilt<br />
University of<br />
Coffee Studies<br />
(yup, that?s a<br />
University!) ;)<br />
The research was<br />
astounding and<br />
not about to give<br />
up her cherished<br />
coffee, she<br />
switched on over<br />
to a higher quality<br />
brand.<br />
A brand that<br />
doesn?t process<br />
their beans with<br />
large amounts of<br />
MOLD on them.<br />
The higher quality<br />
brand costed<br />
more, sure, but it<br />
lasted even longer<br />
because she didn?t<br />
have to use as<br />
many scoops to<br />
get the same<br />
caffeine jolt from<br />
the cheap,<br />
commercial<br />
brands.<br />
She also made<br />
life-style changes<br />
which included<br />
cleaning up her<br />
pantry and taking<br />
out foods and<br />
drinks loaded with
toxins and pesticides.<br />
Her daughter was<br />
worth it. Happy<br />
memories to be made<br />
was worth it.<br />
A happier relationship<br />
with her husband was<br />
worth it.<br />
She was missing out on<br />
her LIFE, and she wasn?t<br />
about to stand aside<br />
and LET IT CONTINUE<br />
TO TAKE FROM HER!<br />
The changes happened<br />
fast! :)<br />
t?s how cool and<br />
forgiving our body is,<br />
my dear Mom Warrior<br />
reader.<br />
Before long she started<br />
to feel consistently<br />
better ? more energized<br />
and clear-headed!<br />
And certainly more<br />
EMPOWERED! Like the<br />
breath of LIFE was put back<br />
in her. She felt in control of<br />
her again. Like she was<br />
taking her life back with<br />
one empowering choice<br />
after another.<br />
Within a few months, she<br />
had the energy to return to<br />
a project she put on the<br />
back-burner?<br />
? a children?s book she<br />
was writing in honor of her<br />
father, her daughter?s<br />
grandpa.<br />
So that she might know the<br />
great person he was. For<br />
his love, inspiration, and<br />
guidance, could continue<br />
to live on even though his<br />
soul has passed 7 from his<br />
37<br />
mortal body.<br />
A project started to keep<br />
true the Promise she<br />
made to him on his<br />
death bed.<br />
A project it tore her soul<br />
apart to not have the<br />
energy to work on.<br />
Not now though!<br />
After reading the final<br />
draft one night with her<br />
daughter? . Her daughter<br />
absolutely LOVED it!<br />
?I love it so much,<br />
Mommy! You did it!<br />
C?mon, let?s celebrate!?<br />
And with that the pair<br />
burst into a<br />
spontaneous, fun, dance<br />
party! It was in that<br />
moment our Mom Hero<br />
realized how far they?d<br />
come.<br />
How close she was to<br />
missing out on moments<br />
like this if she had given<br />
up.<br />
There had been many,<br />
FAR too many times<br />
before were she hadn?t<br />
been able to join her<br />
little girl in having some<br />
fun.
She felt her Father?s presence with<br />
them there. Felt his smile overlooking<br />
them in that moment.<br />
Our Mom Hero felt the pride he had<br />
for her, for now she knew she was<br />
keeping the Promise she made to<br />
him.<br />
It was in that moment, our Mom Hero<br />
burst into happy tears. Suddenly her<br />
little angel stopped dancing and<br />
asked,<br />
?What is it, Mom? Are you okay??<br />
?I am more than okay, Sweetie, I?m<br />
just so thankful that I can have fun<br />
with you again.?<br />
?Me too, Mommy, me too! I love<br />
having you back!? --And they all lived<br />
happily ever after!<br />

Coach here included!) that caution the<br />
2/3rds of women who drink coffee<br />
daily:<br />
?Coffee is one of the top sources of<br />
mycotoxins, a health and energy<br />
sapping substance produced by mold.?<br />
-Dr. Gottfried says.<br />
When ingested, these energy thieves<br />
impair cellular energy output and<br />
trigger inflammation (internal flames)<br />
that requires MORE energy to take care<br />
of.<br />
Leads to fatigue, fog and allergy-like<br />
symptoms.<br />
More doctors have no idea about these<br />
mycotoxins in coffee. So most go<br />
undiagnosed, she adds.
Most doctors are<br />
struggling with<br />
fatigue issues<br />
themselves. And most<br />
have yet to make the<br />
seemingly simple<br />
kindergarten<br />
connection between<br />
the food and drink we<br />
put in our body...<br />
... and the effects that<br />
has on our health and<br />
energy.<br />
! Risk of overload is<br />
on t he rise !<br />
Experts say hot, wet<br />
weather like we?ve<br />
had the last few<br />
years, encourages<br />
more mold growth, so<br />
our coffee is more<br />
contaminated than<br />
ever with these<br />
energy thieving<br />
mycotoxins.<br />
Even worse! Like a<br />
plaque build up in<br />
your mouth, these<br />
energy thieves<br />
accumulate in your<br />
body so we may feel<br />
the effects more as<br />
we age.<br />
Making us feel, and<br />
act, older than we actually<br />
are.<br />
"<br />
This according to Jill<br />
Carnahan, M.D.<br />
?Toxic burden is the<br />
biggest cause of declining<br />
health today.?<br />
How Excited Are<br />
You To Fight Back?<br />
>> You CAN Get Your<br />
Mycot oxin Levels<br />
Test ed, HOWEVER?<br />
A new blood test (GPL ?<br />
MycoTox) measures your<br />
mycotoxin count. But<br />
since studies show nearly<br />
100% of people test<br />
positive?<br />
? its best to probably<br />
assume that you have<br />
these energy thieves<br />
hanging out in you and<br />
you do what you can to<br />
get rid of them?<br />
? especially if you?re<br />
feeling even a bit of<br />
tiredness and/or stress<br />
and if you want more<br />
energy regardless!<br />
