WELCOME TO MOXIE MAMA®!

You've just joined the #moxiesquad

WHAT IS MOXIE MAMA®?

Moxie is defined by Webster’s dictionary as a force of nature, determination, or nerve. Urban dictionary calls it sass, spunk, determination, and attitude. Sounds ideal, right? Who wouldn’t want to have moxie?

Moxie is something many struggle to possess, even if it is admired in others. Personal or professional history makes us smaller, less comfortable with living boldly.  We accept the box life has built around us as the way it is meant to be.

What if you still had EXTRAORDINARY in you?  Is it lurking below the surface, waiting to come out?  Are you considering a new chapter, new role, or maybe revisiting an old dream? What’s stopping you?

Moxie Mama® is the home of Moxie ME coaching, the Moxie Mama blog, and Meant for Moxie Podcast.  This is the place where everyday people do extraordinary things.

WHAT WILL I FIND AT MOXIE MAMA®?

Because fashion and image are my creative outlet, there is a lot of style here–but  this is NOT your daughter’s fashion blog!!! While I believe that image matters as part of our confidence, I know that not every day is beautiful and that is also ok.

We will have a focus on YOU and being your most MOXIE-ful self. Keeping confident in a time of physical (hello, perimenopause) and emotional (kids to college and parents aging) turmoil is HARD.  Moxie Mama is here to be honest about the tough times and provide advice from experts as well as hacks from me. I’ve created a literal system to exercise that confidence muscle.

Most importantly, Moxie Mama®  is about sisterhood, honesty, and FUN! The internet is full of debate, drama, and seemingly unattainable standards. I can never take myself or my life too seriously and I promise to keep it real and laugh A LOT! So thanks for joining the #moxiesquad I’m pleased to meet you!

WHY I DO WHAT I DO

I have always been passionate about helping others, and discouraged watching others fear their potential. Having spent decades learning and discovering my own purpose, I have walked in those shoes. Learning in midlife that I have an attention disorder actually became the fuel I needed to FINALLY “do the thing.” I realized that my lifetime mentors never really believed in me because I wasn’t typical. Ironically, it was ADHD that finally put it all INTO focus.

I love the creatives, the seekers, people who love to grow. Often these are the same people who have the hardest time believing in themselves. I am here to get them out of the box.

Short attention span?  Don’t I know it!  Take a look at a micro documentary about Moxie Mama produced by John Craig Media.
