Hi Mamas, We’re stepping into the cozy magic of the holiday season… the time for gratitude, giving, and a little extra grace (for others and ourselves). Between the chaos of school events, endless to-do lists, and “Who’s bringing dessert?” group texts, it’s easy to forget what this season is really about: kindness. This week, we’re centering our hearts around this powerful quote from Anne Frank: 💭 “You can always give something, even if it is only kindness.” Because kindness doesn’t cost a dime… and yet, it has the power to transform how we experience the holidays. In this episode, we’ll explore how to model kindness for our kids, find calm amidst chaos, and make this season more meaningful without adding anything to our to-do list.   💬 Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About: ✔️ How to slow down and find gratitude in the simplest moments ✔️ Why kindness is the most meaningful gift you can give ✔️ Ways to teach your kids to give back without spending money ✔️ Small daily acts of kindness that shift your family’s energy ✔️ How choosing kindness (even toward yourself) makes the holidays lighter 💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: Every day this week, find one small way to “give something.” It could be your time, your patience, your smile, or your grace. ✨ Compliment a tired mom at pickup. ✨ Thank a delivery driver. ✨ Let your kids see you forgive yourself out loud. ✨ Pause before reacting when stress hits. Kindness multiplies… and it always finds its way back to you. 💫 📣 Join the Conversation: I’d love to hear what you’re doing this week to give kindness!

Hi Mamas, Ever notice how your mood can shift the whole energy in your home? One snippy email at work… one traffic jam… one long day…and suddenly everyone feels it. But what if you could catch those moments before they spiral? That’s what today’s episode is all about: self-awareness… the quiet superpower that helps you show up with more patience, presence, and peace. In this episode, Kerri gets real about her own wake-up call (spoiler: it involved her mom, sister, and a tough dose of honesty), and how that moment completely shifted how she approaches stress, work, marriage, and motherhood. You’ll learn: ✨ What self-awareness really means (and what it’s not) ✨ How to pause and check in with your emotions before they spill over ✨ Why “mirror moments” are the secret to stronger relationships ✨ How small shifts… like journaling, mindful transitions, and deep breathing… can change the tone of your entire day ✨ Why being self-aware makes you not just a better mom, but a happier one Kerri also shares her favorite real-life practices for catching negative energy before it spreads, plus how she’s learning (in progress!) to bring more light into every room she walks into. Challenge of the Week: Pause once today and ask yourself: 1️⃣ How am I feeling right now? 2️⃣ How is this affecting how I’m showing up? 3️⃣ What’s one small shift I can make in this moment? Then, write down what you notice. The goal isn’t perfection… it’s presence. 💫 💛 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. 🌟 📣 I’d love to hear what shift you are making this week!

Hi Mamas, This week, we’re diving deep into one of the most important skills every working mom can develop: self-awareness. Because real growth doesn’t happen when you simply notice what’s happening to you… it happens when you notice how you’re showing up in it. We’re breaking down this quote by  Maya Angelou… “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About: ✔️ How to give yourself grace for past mistakes and moments of overwhelm ✔️ Turning self-awareness into intentional action (without needing to be perfect) ✔️ Letting go of judgment… toward others and yourself ✔️ Real-life examples of “doing better” as a mom, wife, and professional ✔️ A mindset shift that turns guilt into growth 💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: ✨ Notice one area this week where you’ve “learned better.” Maybe it’s how you manage your mornings, react to stress, or judge that mom at drop-off who clearly had one of those mornings. Then ask yourself: What does “doing better” look like in this area…today? Keep it small. Maybe it’s pausing before reacting, saying no without guilt, or putting your phone down and being fully present. Remember… growth isn’t about being flawless; it’s about giving yourself grace for the woman you were yesterday and trying to do just a little better today. 📣 Join the Conversation: I’d love to hear where you’re practicing “knowing better and doing better” this week!

Hi Mamas, This week’s Monday Mindset is a little reminder that your happiness isn’t a luxury… it’s fuel. 💭 “Do more of what makes you happy.” — Unknown We talk about: ✔️ Why happiness isn’t selfish… it’s essential. ✔️ How to weave small moments of joy into your busy days. ✔️ Why you don’t need permission or a special occasion to feel good. ✔️ The ripple effect your joy has on your family. ✔️ Simple ways to reconnect with what lights you up.

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.

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?
