11 years ago, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I felt like I was in the middle of an identity crisis. I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted out of life, my career or motherhood. I was driven by success and achievement and I knew that wasn’t going to serve me as I started a family. I knew I needed to make some changes, but I had no idea what to do or how to do it.

I went on my own self-discovery journey, that eventually led me to become a coach. But it was an up and down journey that took getting comfortable with failure, uncertainty and required an increase in confidence.

In today’s episode, I share my personal working mom journey and how I went from confusion and unfulfillment to success and balance. It required several leaps of faith and I will tell you how I navigated each of them.

Motivation becomes almost non-existent by February for new year’s resolutions and goals. If you are like many working moms, you probably want a “redo” or to start fresh this month or perhaps you’re even ready to quit. But here’s the thing, quitting or even starting over is one of the worst things you can do.

There’s a reason why you didn’t make progress towards yours goals in January and you need to know exactly what didn’t work and why so you can fix it moving forward. But if you decide to start again, you’re likely not going to evaluate your failed attempts. In fact, avoiding thinking about failure is probably one of the reasons why you want to start over to begin with.

In this episode I make a case for why you should keep going toward your goals instead of start fresh, take a “redo” or even quit. Additionally, I will offer 3 insights into why that is the better direction to take especially if you find yourself already off track for the year.

If there’s one thing that gets completely de-prioritized by every mom I know, it’s SEX. Look, I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to just be roommates with my partner. I want a fun, exciting and consistent sex life. But as ambitious working moms this can be hard! It becomes one more thing you “have” to do and it feels more like a chore rather than an intimate experience.

So to help us figure out what it takes to prioritize sex after kids, I interviewed sex and pleasure coach, Danielle Savory. In the episode Danielle and I talk about why sex after kids is so hard and why it's important to put effort into a better sex life (the impact goes far beyond the bedroom). Danielle also shares her #1 tool for making sex a priority and how to “warm yourself up” so that you’re ready to go when sex happens. This is a juicy one, so let’s get to it!

What’s it going to take to get promoted and advance your career in 2024? I asked this question to executive coach and promotion strategist, Stacy Mayer, who explained that the first step to getting promoted is ownership. We need to decide, as women, what we want out of our career and what we are willing to do (and not do) to get it. In today’s episode, Stacy shares with us what it takes to own your advancing career, how to get exposure to your boss’s boss through strategic ally meetings and the #1 thing you can do, right now, to lay a foundation for a promotion by the end of the year.

I’ve been selecting a word of the year for the past 20 years, so I know a thing or two about not just how to select a word but how to make it an effective practice. In today’s episode, I’m sharing why the word-of-the-year practice is important if you want to create an ambitious and balanced life this year, I’ll give you my quick 3-step process on how to select a word, and most importantly I will share exactly what you need to do in order to keep it top of mind, so it can fuel you all year long.

The #1 mindset to help you get unstuck and meet all your goals this year is: I can figure it out. This one thought, as you learn to cultivate it, will help you to move towards your goals and create the both/and life you want. There’s no settling this year working moms, this is the year that you stop over working, you get yourself into a job that you love and you make yourself a priority. In this episode, I’ll be sharing why this “I can figure it out” mindset is important for 2024 and how it will help you get unstuck as well as 5 things to expect when you start cultivating it.

The motherhood identity crisis is the internal questioning that happens after you start having kids. “Who am I?” and “What do I want?” are fundamental questions that need to be answered in order for you to continue operating as an ambitious woman. In today’s podcast I am sharing with you two reasons why women experience an identity crisis after becoming a mom and what they can do to help themselves through it.

The fastest way to get to the balanced and fulfilling working mom life you desire is to love your current working mom life. When you need something to change, you feel dependent on it for happiness. When you feel satisfied and happy with the life you already have, you feel more confident in yourself and your ability to navigate through any changes you desire. In today’s episode, I am explaining why the fastest way to make a change is to love your life without it changing.
