BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business

As we enter the last quarter of the year, I want to check in with you. How are you doing? How are you feeling about your year so far? What comes up when you think about the rest of the year ahead? Whether you're riding on the momentum you've created earlier this year, and excited to see how it all plays out in Q4, or you're ready to throw in the towel on 2021 and set up your Christmas tree already...

Busy is a reality of life for many working moms. Days are hurried, rushing from one thing to the next. We wake up in a hurry to get everyone out the door, or to get to the part of our day where the work begins. We rush through work, thinking that the faster we go, the quicker we can see our families, make dinner, do the homework and activities - and get everyone to bed. The days feel like a blur f...

Do you ever get to the end of a busy day or week and feel like you got nothing done? How is that even possible? For moms building businesses and careers while raising families, the struggle is real. We constantly feel behind, even when it seems like we're always on the go. The reality for many of us is that we are really busy without being very productive. We tend to think that these terms are syn...

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions in your days? Stuck on the hamster wheel, doing what needs to be done to get through the day, but at the same time, kind of feeling like something is missing? Maybe even feeling like you're missing out on your own life? In this episode, we're talking about the feeling of just going through the motions in your life. You feel like you wake...

Do you ever fear that you're missing out on your own life? Maybe you imagine that near the end of your days, you'll look back and realize you were focused on all the wrong things. Maybe you worry that your priorities are off, you're too busy or rushed and are just going through the motions. For you, maybe it's a fear that pursuing a career or growing a business means you'll miss out on your kids'...

Are the promises you make to yourself some of the first ones you break? We value trust in our relationships, but what happens when we don't trust ourself? In this episode we dive into what it looks like to trust YOU, how it contributes to your self-confidence, how we generate self-doubt, and why it all matters when you're wanting to show up as the best version of you.     If you're over the stress...

Do you worry? Many moms do. Maybe you experience anxiety about your kids, your parenting, your marriage or uncertain life circumstances. Or for you, it could be worry about your work or your business, finances, the health of loved ones, decisions that you're making, or something else that consumes your thoughts and keeps you up at night. Anxiety can serve a good purpose in keeping us safe and aliv...

What are you trying to prove? As women, moms, wives, professionals and human beings - there is something within that tells us our value, our worth, must be earned. Because of this, we work hard to try to prove ourselves worthy - often without even realizing it. Our need to prove ourselves shows up in our lives in several different ways. In this episode, we're exploring 4 ways I see this showing up...

How you spend your days is how you spend your life. How are you spending yours? In a life that can feel so busy, and so hurried, it often seems like we're just going through the motions each day and missing out on what matters most. One reason? We're living out of alignment. Our day-to-day reality doesn't align with what matters most to us. In this episode, I'm helping you discover the 3 most impo...

Why is following through so hard? You decide you're going to set a goal or make some meaningful changes in your life, and then, when the time comes to make it happen? You don't feel like it. You lose motivation. You waver. You aren't fully committed. You don't expect making changes in your life to be easy, but why does it feel SO hard to keep going sometimes, and SO easy to quit? We've all been th...

For working moms, the idea of rest can seem like a luxury reserved for "someday". We're exhausted - physically, mentally and emotionally - but we just keep going - often in the name of making progress and getting more done. It seems necessary. Making time for rest can seem crazy in a world focused on the hustle and the busy. It might even seem lazy, like a waste of time or just a way to get even f...

As a coach for moms called to building business and careers, I coach a lot on the topic of time - specifically, our desire for more of it (and to be better stewards of it) in a life where we're doing ALL the things. But today, we're talking about time from a different perspective. We're looking at the big-picture thoughts we have about time as mothers, and how these seemingly-sweet and sentimental...

Are you waiting for "someday" to feel better? Are you placing your hope in future circumstances that look different than your current reality and believing that then, your life will be so much better/easier/happier? We unintentionally do this so often - in both big-picture ways and smaller, everyday ways - and the truth? It holds us back. It steals our ability to be present, to feel like we're rea...

Being a human is hard. But it's even harder when we live in a way that resists the reality of what it is to be human. When we learn to accept ourselves as human beings? To embrace our imperfections and limitations? We're free. Free to live rich and meaningful lives. Free to show up fully to the lives we're called to. Free to experience more of what we want in our days, and less of what we don't. A...

Call it negative self-talk, call it your inner mean girl, we all have that voice inside our head that criticizes and judges. And as we continue to explore this series of episodes about your relationship with you, we're looking at your own inner critic. So many women and moms tell me they struggle with negative thoughts about themselves - thoughts filled with judgment and criticism and self-doubt a...

Are you confident? Some of us think confidence means arrogance, so it's a word we shy away from. Others believe confidence is either something we're born with, or aren't, and so we assume that if we don't have it, that's just how it is. The truth? Confidence is not selfish or arrogant, and it's absolutely not a genetic trait you're born with. It's a skillset you can cultivate, just like riding a b...

This episode is kicking off a series we're going to be doing over the next few weeks about your relationship with yourself. This is some of the most important work that you can do, because how you feel about yourself becomes how you feel about your life. The truth is that so many of us are going through our days intentionally trying to look or behave in certain ways in an attempt to manipulate wha...

Do you feel stuck in your life? It's a term that so many of us can relate to, but what does it even mean? As a coach supporting moms building businesses and careers while raising kids, I see so many clients struggling with feeling stuck. What I've learned is that what being stuck MEANS can vary so much from person to person. Do you know where you're stuck?    In this episode, I'm offering you 8 di...

As a life coach working with moms called to meaningful work beyond parenting - women who are building businesses and careers while raising kids -  the subject of happiness comes up a lot. We want to be happier, we think we should be happier than we are and we pursue this happiness in our lives in many ways. It's why this podcast is called Beyond Happy - because in a world that tells us the goal is...

There are a lot of things we believe about being working moms - and not all of them are useful. Whether you're building a business or growing a career while raising kids, there are unique challenges that not everyone understands. And while being a mom called to meaningful work beyond parenting IS hard - sometimes, we make it so much harder than it has to be. One way? By believing things that aren'...

Your time, energy and thoughts are your most valuable resources in your life. How and where you're investing them matters. So many moms building businesses and careers while raising kids tell me that they feel like they're missing out on their own lives. It seems like they're just going through the motions, trying to get by and not really LIVING. One reason life can feel this way is because often,...

In a life and world that can feel crazy, overwhelming and completely out of control, sometimes, we need reminded. Reminded of what we can control in our lives. These powerful reminders can create a shift forward and help us see ourselves from a different perspective. These are truths that can help us feel more empowered, more confident and capable as we navigate our days as moms, wives, friends, d...

When we want to feel better in our lives, it can be difficult to imagine getting to the other side of it and living beyond where we feel stuck. One reason for this is that we don't have the awareness of why we don't feel better to begin with. We're lost as to why we feel lost. In this episode, I'm shining a light on 7 of those reasons - reasons why you don't feel better in your days. Although thes...
