The Life Coach for Working Moms Podcast

In this episode, I'm talking about that exact moment: the one where you've dropped a ball or burned the candle at both ends one too many nights, and you finally have to decide what to let go of. I share two of my own stories — giving up running after my first child was born, and later stepping out of a travel-heavy sales role after my third — and why both of those choices, while hard, weren't perm...

If you're a working mom who hasn't thought about your career in... a while — this episode is for you.   Whether you're starting to wonder what's next , feeling that quiet burn of "is this even worth it anymore," or just want to stop being caught off guard when someone asks where you see yourself in five years, we're talking about those bigger picture career questions that tend to get pushed to the...

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me to "just delegate more," I'd be retired by now. But how do you actually delegate when it's faster to just do it yourself?   That's exactly what I'm digging into in this episode, because delegating has been coming up constantly in coaching sessions lately. The truth is, most of us aren't failing at delegating because we're control freaks. We're faili...

If you've ever made a solid plan to start a new habit and still didn't follow through, you're probably missing this crucial step.   I'm sharing something that came straight out of a coaching session last week, and it was too good not to bring to the podcast. We talk a lot about habit stacking, knowing your why, and building better routines. But there's one step that most of us skip, and it's often...

If you've ever walked back through your front door after a trip, bags still in hand, and immediately felt the weight of everything waiting for you, this episode is for you.   We're talking about the re-entry. That moment when real life comes rushing back in and all those good feelings from your time away evaporate faster than you can say vacation. The laundry, the emails, the groceries, the projec...

Summer is here and if you're a working mom, you already know the tension. Your schedule doesn't change, but everything else does. The kids are home, the routine is gone, and somehow, it's August before you've done a single thing you actually wanted to do this season.   In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on three new systems I'm personally testing with my family this summer, not because...

Rachel Greiman has done a lot of things - photojournalism, family photography, copywriting, and now? She owns a fragrance boutique in Denver called Ode. And no, none of that was planned.   In this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my favorite internet friends to talk about what it actually looks like to blow up a successful business and start something completely new in the middle of absolute...

I'll be honest with you... my inbox is a mess. Between my personal and business email, I've completely let things slide, and it even cost me a registration deadline for my daughter's gymnastics class. So, this month, I'm doing a full reset, and I'm bringing you along for the ride.   In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact email management philosophy I swear by (even when I'm not followi...

If "what's for dinner?" sends you into a spiral at 5pm, this episode is for you.   Meal planning comes up almost every single week in my sessions with clients — and I don't think that's a coincidence. We are all stretched thin, running on decision fatigue, and desperately wishing someone else would just tell us what to eat. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I approach meal planning (w...

You're great at planning the things that matter. The calendar, the meals, the kids' activities. So why does your relationship keep getting whatever time is left over, which is usually none?   In this episode, we're tackling a question that comes up often in coaching: Is it okay to set a goal around my marriage? If the idea of being intentional about your relationship feels weirdly clinical, or you...

You've heard the term "mental load". You've seen it in funny memes on social media. But in this episode, we go beyond the definition and get into what the mental load is actually costing you: your cognitive bandwidth, your patience, and your presence at the dinner table. You'll hear why carrying the mental load isn't proof that you care more or that you're more capable; it's proof that your system...

You have a list. You have a calendar. But if that's where your planning stops, you're still going to hit that wall of overwhelm when a busy season (like Maycember) hits. This episode walks you through the three components that separate a real plan from good intentions and why skipping even one of them is what has you feeling behind before a busy season even begins.   ==========================  ...

If you've caught yourself saying "I'm just in survival mode until June" — this episode is for you. We're digging into why survival mode isn't just uncomfortable, it's a strategy with real costs to your health, relationships, and sanity. And it's one most of us fall into without even realizing it.   The busyness this time of year is real — the calendar conflicts, the invisible labor, the mental loa...

It's April, you're feeling good, spring energy is back — and then May hits like a freight train. Permission slips, recitals, Teacher Appreciation Week, end-of-year parties... all at once, with no warning.   There's a name for this: Maycember . It carries all the chaos of the holiday season without any of the twinkle lights — and the reason it knocks us flat every single year isn't a personal faili...

If you've ever felt like dropping something wasn't an option because it all feels like it "has" to get done, this episode will challenge everything you think you "have" to do.   I'm talking with estate planning attorney and mom, Whitney Ellison , who built a 4-day workweek that fits her life—not the other way around. Her mantra? It can wait.   But this isn't just about working less. It's about:  ...

Most families think they'll "travel more someday." But what if someday comes faster than you think?   In this episode, I'm talking with a working mom of two teens who has made travel and experiences a consistent priority—even with full-time work, busy schedules, and all the logistics of family life. We talk about how she approaches it, what it looks like in different seasons, and why these experie...

Tis the season for illnesses, snow days, days off school, and so many other unexpected reasons for the kids to be home when you need to work. In this episode, I'm sharing what I do from the moment I receive the call (or hear the cough) to still be able to get things done while also navigating having a kid at home (or being sick myself). Listen in for some ideas and to be reminded that you're not a...

You know it's important to exercise, and actually, you want to because you feel so much better when you do. But as a busy working mom, the question is where does it fit??   In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I coach women to start (or restart) a movement routine in a season where time feels tight, kids need you, and work is full.   I talk about: Why auditing your time is the firs...

Whether at home or in your business, this shift will change everything.   =======...
