214. Celebrating 2 Years! Lessons on Growth, Balance & Embracing the Season You Are In
Hi Mamas,
Mornings Made Simple Workshop cart is officially OPEN! Grab your seat today! Mornings Made Simple Workshop!
Can you believe it?!
Two years ago, this podcast started with a messy dream and a microphone... and today, we're celebrating 214 episodes and an amazing community of ambitious, intentional moms who inspire me daily. 💛
In this special anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on the real (and sometimes quiet) lessons I’ve learned along the way… about life, motherhood, work, balance, and what it really means to keep growing, even when it doesn't always feel easy.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
✨ Why true growth is often quiet and hidden… not flashy
✨ Why you’re allowed (and encouraged!) to evolve in every season
✨ How to stay anchored to your "why" when life feels chaotic
✨ What’s ahead for Mom. Wife. Career. Life. (and how I hope to keep serving you!)
This week’s challenge:
Take a few minutes to reflect on YOUR growth — not just the big wins, but the small, brave steps you've taken along the way. Celebrate yourself, mama. You deserve it. 🎉

213. Mindset Reset: You're Allowed To Outgrow Who You Used To Be
Hi Mamas,
✨Mornings Made Simple Workshop cart is officially OPEN! Grab your seat today! Mornings Made Simple Workshop!✨
I’m kicking off your week with a mindset shift that’s been speaking to me on a deep level, especially as I reflect on what it means to grow, evolve, and honor the version of yourself you’re becoming.
“You are allowed to outgrow the version of you who dreamed up the life you’re in now.”
In this episode, we talk about:
Why it’s okay to release goals, routines, or roles that no longer serve you
How motherhood, work, and life dreams can (and should) evolve with you
What it means to give yourself permission to shift, realign, and grow
How my own journey (and this podcast) have changed over the past two years
A mindset check-in challenge for the week ahead
So many of us feel stuck in stories we’ve outgrown. This is your reminder that you’re not behind… you’re becoming.
And if this message lands with you? Make sure you check out Ep 214. where I reflect on two years of this podcast and share the biggest lessons that have shaped my journey so far.
💖 This week’s challenge:
Take 5–10 minutes to reflect on what no longer fits:
What have you outgrown?
Where are you showing up out of habit or guilt, not alignment?
What version of you are you still trying to live up to that no longer fits?
Let yourself shift. Let yourself evolve.
You’re allowed to change—and you don’t need permission to do it.

212. A Mother's Day Message: 8 Lessons I Wish I Learned Sooner
Hi Mamas,
✨Mornings Made Simple Workshop cart is officially OPEN! Grab your seat today! Mornings Made Simple Workshop!✨
Today’s episode wasn’t planned…but it was needed. With Mother’s Day around the corner and Mental Health Awareness Month in full swing, I felt called to hit record and speak directly from the heart.
This is a love note to all the moms… whether you’re raising littles, guiding teens, grieving, growing, or just trying to keep it together. I’m sharing honest reflections on mom guilt, letting go, memory-making, forgiving your own mom (and yourself), and giving yourself permission to feel the hard and the beautiful at the same time.
This isn’t a polished list of to-dos. It’s a reminder that you’re doing better than you think. And that your presence matters more than your perfection.
Happy Mother’s Day!
✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
The emotional weight of watching your child grow up… and letting go
Why mom guilt shows up and how to gently release it
How to create meaningful memories without spending a lot of money
Forgiving your mom for what she couldn’t give… and yourself for what you can’t do perfectly
Why comparison is stealing your peace (and how to stop measuring your motherhood against others)
The importance of letting others love and support you
How to embrace the hard and the beautiful parts of motherhood
Why Mother’s Day is the perfect time to give yourself space, care, and grace
✨ Bonus: If your mornings are chaotic or just plain nonexistent, don’t miss the Mornings Made Simple Waitlist! …designed to help moms start their day with intention, not overwhelm. Get your name on the waitlist today!

206. Mindset Reset: Money Freedom Start With Better Choices Not A Bigger Paycheck
Hi Mamas,
Summer is coming, and with it… vacations, ice cream stops, amusement parks, and... all the extra expenses. But here's a secret: you don't have to earn more to enjoy more. You just have to get a little more intentional with what you already have.
In today’s Monday Mindset episode, I’m diving into a powerful reminder from Rachel Cruze:
“You don’t have to make more money. You just have to make better choices with the money you already have.”
You’ll hear a personal story from our spring break trip, why making better choices changed everything for our family (even back when I was couponing every grocery trip!), and how small decisions today can create massive freedom tomorrow.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why freedom starts with tiny, unsexy decisions
✨ A simple mindset shift that makes saving feel empowering, not restrictive
✨ Five easy money moves you can make this week to create breathing room for summer
💖 This week’s challenge:
Choose one intentional money move from today’s list… whether it’s canceling an unused subscription, meal planning your dinners, or setting up a summer savings account… and share it with us in the Work-Life Balance For Working Moms Or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life. I’d love to cheer you on!
Ready to create more freedom, more joy, and way less financial stress this summer?
Let’s get intentional… and let's get started! 🎉
