Hi Mamas, This week’s Monday Mindset Reset is anchored in a quote that every working mom needs as a reminder: 💭 "Wherever you are, be all there." — Jim Elliot Because let’s be real… closing your laptop doesn’t automatically close the “work” tab in your brain. Emails, meetings, and unfinished to-dos love to follow you into family dinner, bedtime routines, and even your dreams. And that’s why this episode is all about how to detach from work at the end of the day and intentionally switch your brain into family mode… so you can stop half-listening to your kids while mentally editing tomorrow’s PowerPoint and start being fully present in the moments that matter most. Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About: ✔️ Why presence matters more than perfection for working moms ✔️ How being fully present at work helps you leave guilt-free at 5:00 ✔️ Simple rituals that help you mentally shut down from the workday ✔️ Why presence at home is a gift… to your family and to yourself ✔️ A free resource (Meal Planning Made Simple) to make evenings easier so you can focus on connection, not “what’s for dinner?”   💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: Choose one moment this week where you will be all there. ✅ Family dinner at the table ✅ Saturday morning pancakes ✅ Bedtime story snuggles Put everything else aside… emails, scrolling, the to-do list… and give that moment your full attention. Notice how much lighter and calmer it feels to be fully present instead of half-distracted. 📣 I’d love to hear: what moment are you choosing to be all there for this week? Come share inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms…your idea just might inspire another mama who needs that reminder too! ⭐ If this episode gave you a little perspective, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Hi Mamas, Today’s episode is a little heavier, but it’s one of the most important conversations we can have. After recently losing a dear friend, I’ve been reflecting deeply on the lessons loss teaches us. These are reminders we all need: to stop waiting, to live with intention, to savor the little things, and to love loudly and unapologetically. Loss shakes us awake. It reminds us that tomorrow isn’t promised and the “perfect time” doesn’t exist. So instead of waiting for someday, we need to live today. ✨ In this episode, I share 10 powerful lessons loss has taught me: Make your health a priority (yes, book the mammogram!) Save for tomorrow, but don’t miss today Take the trip… big or small, it’s always worth it Forgive quickly and set yourself free Say the words now: “I love you,” “I’m proud of you” Be present in the everyday moments Live with intention… align your calendar with your values Don’t take people for granted… cherish your loved ones Dreams deserve action… start now, even messy Don’t assume you have time… today is the gift This episode is dedicated to my beautiful friend Mare. Her light, love, and resilience are a reminder to live fully, laugh often, and love deeply. 💛 Feeling encouraged by today’s episode? 👉 Share it with a friend, leave a quick review, or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life — your messages truly mean the world to me. 🌟 📌 Grab More Freebies! 🔥 Boundaries Made Simple… guilt-free scripts, mindset shifts, and a “guilt-detox” checklist 💖 Goal Manifesting Planner … map your dreams with bite-size prompts 🥗 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide… reclaim your evenings (and your sanity) 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… ditch the scroll and win back precious minutes 🧹 Spring Cleaning Checklist… because clutter steals time, too 🎅Christmas Planning Guide… yes, early prep counts as self-care Want to connect with other amazing moms?

This touching discussion revolves around the recent loss of a friend, prompting reflections on living fully. It challenges the 'someday' mindset that traps us in guilt and busyness. Listeners learn practical ways to infuse joy into everyday life, like savoring simple moments and prioritizing health. The episode encourages intentionality, suggesting daily actions that can enhance our lives. Ultimately, it reminds us that while we cannot change the years we have, we can enrich the life within those years.

Hey mamas, Today we’re flipping the script on one of the most overused (and misunderstood) phrases out there: work-life balance. For years, we’ve been told to picture balance like a scale… work on one side, life on the other, perfectly even. But here’s the problem: that image sets us up for guilt, burnout, and disappointment. Because your job should never weigh the same as your entire life. In this episode, I share a fresh perspective I use with my coaching clients: balancing stones. Instead of a scale, picture those beautiful stacks of rocks you see at the beach or on a hike. Each stone is a different size and shape… some massive, some tiny. And yet, when carefully placed, they create something stable and beautiful. That’s what balance actually looks like. Not equal weight, but intentional placement. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Why the traditional idea of work-life balance doesn’t work (and what to do instead) ✨ How to identify your personal “stones”… the roles and values that matter most in your life ✨ Which stones belong at the foundation of your stack (hint: it’s not work or house chores) ✨ Why health and self-care aren’t selfish extras but essential stabilizers ✨ The small, everyday stones that bring the biggest joy and stability ✨ Three practical ways to keep your “stack” from wobbling or crashing down Episode Highlights: The Foundation Stone: Why family, health, and core values should anchor your life. The Big Stones: Work, marriage, spirituality, passions, and house maintenance… and how to keep them in their proper place. The Small Stones: Why little moments (like a walk, coffee with a teen, or a bedtime story) often bring the most stability. 3 Tips for Balance: Rebuild regularly, check your base, and accept the wobble. My Challenge for You: Grab a notebook and write down your stones. Which ones are the biggest? Which is your foundation? Where do you need to restack? Because balance isn’t about perfection… it’s about intention. And when you choose your stones with care, you can build a life that’s stable, beautiful, and uniquely yours. 👉 Come share your stones inside our free Work-Life Balance for Working Moms Insider Facebook community. It’s where we laugh, connect, and cheer each other on as we balance this wild and wonderful life together. 💛 Feeling encouraged by today’s episode? 👉 Share it with a friend, leave a quick review, or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life… your messages truly mean the world to me. 🌟 ⭐ If you found this episode helpful, please take a minute to leave a 5-star review on iTunes… your reviews help more moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Grab More Freebies! 🔥 Boundaries Made Simple… guilt-free scripts, mindset shifts, and a “guilt-detox” checklist 💖 Goal Manifesting Planner … map your dreams with bite-size prompts 🥗 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide… reclaim your evenings (and your sanity) 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… ditch the scroll and win back precious minutes 🧹 Spring Cleaning Checklist… because clutter steals time, too 🎅Christmas Planning Guide… yes, early prep counts as self-care Want to connect with other amazing moms?

Hi Mamas, This week’s Monday Mindset Reset is inspired by a whirlwind of a week… but in the best way. I was asked to be a virtual guest speaker at the CEO Mom Breakthrough Summit… a space for moms who are chasing their dreams, building businesses, and still choosing to be present, intentional mamas. What an honor to be included! My contribution to the summit was a 30-minute workshop where I teach my Meal Planning Made Simple method. Which sounds simple… but behind the scenes it meant creating a workshop from scratch, building the presentation, recording, teaching myself to edit video for the first time, and submitting it on deadline… all while still working my corporate job, managing kids’ activities, fitting in a date night with Russ, and keeping up with life. But this week wasn’t just about cranking out a workshop… it was about navigating it all without losing my mind. Which brings me to today’s quote from Jana Kingsford: 💭 “Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create.” Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About: ✔️ Why balance doesn’t just “show up” once life calms down ✔️ The truth about creating balance in the middle of chaos ✔️ Real-life examples of what balance looks like for moms in different seasons ✔️ How to let go of perfection and embrace intention This Week’s Mindset Challenge Grab a notebook… or even just your Notes app… and write down one small action each day this week that helps you create balance. Examples: ✅ Lay out tomorrow’s clothes tonight ✅ Say no to an extra work meeting ✅ Take 10 quiet minutes with your coffee instead of scrolling By the end of the week, you’ll have 7 intentional steps toward balance… and mama, you’ll feel the difference. 📣 I’d love to hear from you! What’s one small action you are going to take this week? Share it inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms… because your idea just might inspire another mama to set down her own heavy load. ⭐ If this episode gave you a little breathing room, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Hi Mamas, This week’s Monday Mindset Reset is all about lightening the load you carry… and we’re anchoring it with this powerful reminder: 💭 “The key to success is in not doing it all yourself. Delegate.” — Unknown If you’ve ever felt like the weight of the household, the workplace, and the never-ending to-do list is resting squarely on your shoulders (🙋‍♀️ hello, every mom ever)… this one’s for you. Inside this episode, we’re talking about: ✔️ Why doing it all yourself is not the badge of honor it’s made out to be ✔️ The mindset shift that makes delegation feel less like “slacking” and more like self-love ✔️ How outsourcing (big or small) can bring you back peace, energy, and sanity ✔️ Why good leaders, thriving businesses… and yes, thriving moms… never do it all alone ✔️ Practical examples of what you can start delegating today (without the guilt) Because here’s the truth: You don’t get extra mom points for martyrdom. No one’s handing out gold stars for folding socks at midnight while everyone else sleeps. Delegation is not weakness…it’s your secret superpower. 💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: Pick one thing you can delegate this week. Just one. — Maybe it’s asking your kids to unload the dishwasher. — Maybe it’s letting your partner handle soccer drop-off. — Maybe it’s hiring a cleaning service once a month. — Or maybe it’s finally outsourcing that one thing at work that drains you the most. Whatever you choose, let yourself feel the freedom that comes when you stop carrying it all alone. 📣 I’d love to hear from you!
