The Boss Mom Podcast

As entrepreneurs, there’s a ton of pressure to commit to one thing and stick with it, no matter what. Even though we’re constantly evolving, switching things up makes us think we’re wishy-washy, indecisive and uncommitted. Does that mean we have to sell and say the same thing forever, even when it’s no longer in alignment with us?   Life's too short to stick with something that's not lighting us up just because we're scared of looking flaky. We shouldn’t be afraid of letting our businesses evolve like we do.   How do we make a big change without feeling guilty? How do we shamelessly move toward what makes sense for us and our businesses?   In this episode, speaker and bestselling author, Marki Lemons Ryhal shares real-life tricks to making big moves without second-guessing ourselves.   It's about being an active lifelong learner willing to implement changes and own who you are, whether it could be a mistake or not. -Marki Lemons Ryhal   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Why saying "yes" to change can be your best move How can saying "yes" to change transform your life and propel you forward?   -Getting loud about what you love – why it matters Why does getting vocal about your passions attract the people and opportunities you truly want?   -Jumping on new chances – how it's done How can taking a leap into something new actually be the best way to grow and feel alive?   Guest Bio   Marki Lemons Ryhal is one of 100 speakers selected out of over 1,300 to speak at the REALTOR® Conference & Expo ten times (face-to-face and virtually) with high program evaluations and an INMAN Closing Keynote Speaker.

So many women have juicy and purposeful potential inside them, but because they’re too depleted to see the possibilities, it never sees the light of day.   We tell ourselves that being moms is what’s holding us back. The truth is: not tapping into our potential has nothing to do with our kids, and everything to do with our own emotions.   When we operate from an agitated nervous system, urgency, overwhelm and exhaustion become the norm. When we step out of our spinning minds and shift into presence, the awesome things we’re pushing hard to have will just flow to us.   That way, we’ll never have to choose between the greatest gift in life, and our purpose and contribution to the world.   How do we repair our nervous systems so we can start operating from a place of calm and wholeness? Can we unearth our purpose by doing less?    In this episode, I’m joined by top ranked podcast host, 8 figure spiritual and business coach, and author of the upcoming book “Abundant Ever After”, Cathy Heller. She shares how moms can design lives filled with purpose, peace and presence.    When your nervous system is agitated, you will keep making lists, feeling depleted and doing everything for everyone. When you repair it, you can find peace, calm and start feeling a sense of wholeness. -Cathy Heller     3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Doing everything for everyone is selfish  Many women put too much on their plates because we think it’s generous and loving. Are we actually stealing something valuable from people when we do that?    -Don’t do more, be more  How do we stop being forceful and pushy about getting what we want and learn to let it flow to us effortlessly?    -What happens when our cups are filled  We often think pouring all our energy into our kids is the key to their happiness. Do they actually benefit more from us living in our purpose and feeling seen in our own right?  Guest Bio Cathy Heller is a top ranked podcast host of The Cathy Heller Podcast, a truth seeker, 8 figure spiritual and business coach, and author focused on helping women create a life of abundance, joy, and purpose.

Navigating the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, particularly for Boss Moms, involves constant shifts, uncertainties, and tough decisions.

Doubts creep in - Will the change be worth it? What if it fails?   Contrary to popular belief, us moms don’t have it all figured out so where do we go from here?

As moms, we're bombarded with advice from all angles - including successful men.  Should we really be taking advice from them?   Their success is undeniable, and they may make really great points, but can they truly understand the intricacies of motherhood? This dilemma leaves us torn between wanting to benefit from their wisdom and doubting if it truly applies to our lives.   How can we stop dismissing advice from successful men outright and adopt a more discerning approach?   In this episode, I talk about whether or not we should take advice from successful men as Boss Moms, how to identify the nuggets of wisdom that they share and when exactly we should heed their advice.   If people don’t fit in with your belief system or moral compass then you’re not going to want to take their advice no matter who they are. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Generalized marketing Do we need to listen to people who don’t resonate with us?   -Everyone can add value How do we take the approach of learning from different angles?    -When to not take advice How do we figure out when advice is just not fit for us?  

Juggling a million tasks, striving to ensure everything runs smoothly. Constantly worrying if everyone around us is okay. As moms, it’s a heavy burden we carry.   The relentless pressure to bear the responsibility for everyone's happiness and well-being is well…exhausting. Does being a mom and a woman mean maintaining control, fixing every problem, keeping everyone happy? No…and the sooner we release ourselves from the pressure, the easier everything gets.   What’s the one skill moms have a hard time learning but can have the most valuable pay-off? How do we not fall back into the norm of what we’re used to?   In this episode I talk about not taking on the burden of making sure everyone and everything is okay, why moms have a hard time figuring it out and how we can do less while contributing more.   There is a big distinction between being there for the people that you love and making sure everybody’s okay all the time. That is not the burden you need to bear. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -The pressure we face How does the burden of making sure everything and everyone is okay affect us?   -Step 1  Why is it so important to first recognize the problem?   -Supporting vs. stifling How do we deprive the people we love by taking on the burden of making sure everything is okay?

As moms, there’s a constant pressure to put our maternal identity above everything. Of course, our kids are important, but there’s a lot more to us than that.   Our worth isn’t determined solely by how much time we dedicate to our families. Neglecting our other identities and passions can lead to a profound loss and disconnection from ourselves.   How does the pressure sabotage our ability to be truly happy and connected as women? How do we recognize and embrace our multitude of identities as women without feeling guilty?   In this episode, I talk about how having a guilty mom mindset can sabotage your success. I also talk about fostering a balanced approach to identity and how to give our identities as women enough time and space.   We are so many more things than just being a parent. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Figuring out who we are as women How do we figure out exactly who we are as women?

As moms, business owners and women, our lives are constantly changing. We grow, discover new interests, and we get bored in our businesses, and we’re left wondering if it’s time to pivot.   Now, before we go uprooting everything and making huge changes, we really have to check in with ourselves first. Sometimes what feels like a new direction to shift into is nothing more than a short-term burst of excitement.   How do we tell the difference between needing to pivot and needing to just make small tweaks to what we’re doing? What questions should we ask ourselves?   In this episode, I talk about whether you should tweak or move onto something different.   If you don’t know what to say past a certain point, that’s a really good indicator that this isn’t a long-term pivot for you. -Dana Malstaff     3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Know your North Star  How do we tell the difference between tweaking what serves our higher mission, and needing to make a big change?    -Why you’re itching to pivot Will a pivot make you happy in the long-term, or are you jumping the gun because you’re excited about a new area of interest?   -Start small  Before we make massive changes, what should we try first?  

Every mom struggles with the pressure to be present and connected while also excelling in our businesses.   We all want to have it all, but honestly, it can leave us feeling like a rubber band being pulled way too thin. That nagging feeling creeps in – are we doing enough for our families or our careers?   How do we figure out our limits and make peace with the fact that we can't do it all? Can we switch up our mindset a bit?   In this episode, GM of Innovation at SamCart Olivia Herron joins me to talk about how to shift from a martyr mindset, why we need to be okay with not having control all the time and why it's okay to have off days.
