Everyday, we have the amazing opportunity to notice and acknowledge the many moments of goodness, light, peace, and fulfillment. Gratitude for the life we live abounds as we appreciate what is present in this moment, and the next moment, and then the next.
This month, join us in a reflective practice of gratitude grounded in science as we share more about how actively giving thanks can improve your health and happiness. We’ve included some of our favorite gratitude traditions that you can practice with your family.
What do you hope for? This is one of those BIG, deep questions that we often don’t give a lot of mental airtime to answering.
Especially during seasons of uncertainty, we have the opportunity to refocus on the things that matters most to us – our priorities, relationships, goals, and desires.
This month join us as we discover what fuels our hope and how to become more hopeful in our lives now.
The secret to getting things done efficiently isn’t time management.
Your performance, health, and happiness are grounded in how well you manage your energy – not your calendar!
Join us this month as we use the science of Energy Management to increase your productivity and focus!
Even (and especially) when things seem bleak, science shows us that we can learn how to choose optimism and model this for our children.
Join us this month as we share more about how to raise resilient children as we practice optimism more in our everyday lives.
This summer, we'll be taking a deeper look at how you can build your confidence and give your life a positive boost!
Research in neuroscience has shown that even if you don’t feel confident, you can learn to be. When you speak and act with confidence, you encourage confidence in others, too.
Join us this month as we explore how you can grow your confidence!
If you are guilty of structuring your days around task completion and the ever-elusive “to do” list, only to feel like there’s never “enough” time in the day to get it all done, then you’re not alone…
When do you choose efficiency over sufficiency? Too often, the busyness of doing overtakes the thoughtfulness of being. Here are three ways you can choose to focus on sufficiency and invite more self-acceptance into your life.
When you work for yourself, determining your worth is complex and can often feel rather lonely and isolating. For most, it can feel really uncomfortable to ask for a large amount of money for something you’ve created. Especially when your brand is yourself – like so many coaches, visual artists, freelancers, consultants, and creatives – it almost feels too personal to put a number on your services, like you’re judging yourself before others have a chance to judge you. Learn how to have the courage to OWN your worth!
I needed this space and community as much as these other parents who were vocalizing their desires on social media. So instead of waiting for someone else to create it, we decided to build on this vision and open it ourselves. And that’s how The Makers Place™ was born (I say “born” because it now feels like my third child).
Each month, we feature a specific value that we highlight throughout the community for parents and their children through writing, art, workshops, action challenges, and more to help identify personal strengths, values, and goals. This blog is our public space to share about each value we explore as a community. We invite you to join our dialogue to deepen your personal reflection and practice!
