This episode is not one I wanted to record, but one I needed to in order to take care of my mental health, be the mom I want to be, and ultimately show up for you on this podcast the way that I want to. I am going to be pausing the podcast and pausing my social media, for an unknown amount of time (hopefully not too long!), in order to do some much needed work on my mental health, my relationship...

This episode is about how challenging it can be to show up as mom and be what everyone needs from you when the world or your world feels heavy. As moms, I truly believe we become much more empathetic than the average person (one of our superpowers and one of our challenges) so when the world feels heavy, we really feel that. You are still human mama, you still feel just like everyone else does. It...

In today's episode, I explain how to cope with the anxiety, guilt, and worry when you want to be everything for your kids, partner, and friends all at the same time, but just simply can’t. You are a human being mama, NOT just a mom. You are complex and have so many parts to your identity and so many roles that you serve. You really don’t have to be everything to everyone all at the same time. Key...

This episode will air a few days before my birthday so I wanted to do an episode on some of the top takeaways and life lessons I gained from year 33 that I thought would help other mamas too. This has been a big year for us. We moved cross country, I changed careers, started my podcast, and all while raising a daughter from year 1 to 2. If you have kids you know A LOT of growth happens in years 1...

As moms we have limited time and energy, especially for human relationships, so we have to be intentional a...

This episode is a call to action for my mama community! How often do we get asked the question, "how are you" or "how is/was your day", and what do we say 99.9% of the time?! We say we’re good…when I KNOW we’re not good 99.9% of the time. I want us to normalize being honest when we’re not okay. When life is kicking our butt. When we are struggling. It doesn’t mean we have to dump our personal live...

This episode is straight from my heart about embracing our evolutions and not getting stuck by fear or feeling like we have to 'stay the course' on a path we have been pursuing. Life is meant to be lived as a series of chapters and with each new one brings new desires, goals, dreams, values, etc and that is a good thing. As moms, we go through a massive evolution and we need to give ourselves perm...

This is episode number 2 in our mini-series on working smarter, not harder! Please check out episode 5 to hear the beginning of the series! Most of us have heard of or created a vision board before.

Today I'm covering 3 belief shifts to help mom guilt NOT hold us back anymore.

Trying to find balance in motherhood is bullshit. There, I said it. When well-meaning people tell you to strive for balance, they are basically telling you to find equality between all of your life priorities - kids, partners, careers, self-care - and the list goes on. I hope you know that's impossible (or at least without eventually totally burning out and crashing)! So let’s talk about what you...
