180. Stronger Together: Simple Strategies to Improve Your Marriage & Help Balance Your Life
Hi Mamas,
It’s a brand new month, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably feeling motivated to refocus on your goals and create more of that work-life balance you’ve been craving. But here’s the thing… balance isn’t just about managing your time… it’s also about who you surround yourself with and the energy they bring into your life. And one of the most important relationships that impacts your balance? Your relationship with your spouse or partner.
Let’s be real… when you’re juggling work, kids, meal planning, laundry, and your own sanity, your relationship can sometimes take a backseat. You love your spouse, of course, but if you’ve ever felt like you’re more roommates than romantic partners or like you’re just really good at co-parenting but haven’t had a meaningful conversation in weeks, this episode is for you.
Today, I’m sharing 10 powerful, practical tips to help you strengthen your relationship, reconnect with your spouse, and get on the same page about life, parenting, and the future. No, you don’t need a fancy date night or a romantic getaway (although, let’s be honest, that would be amazing). Instead, I’ll show you simple, everyday ways to create connection, improve communication, and bring back the friendship that makes your marriage thrive.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ How to prioritize time together (even when your schedules are packed)
✅ The secret to better communication without constant arguments
✅ How to speak your partner’s love language so they actually feel appreciated
✅ The biggest mistake couples make with money, parenting, and household roles—and how to fix it
✅ Why maintaining your own identity and interests makes your marriage stronger
✅ How to laugh through the chaos and turn everyday stress into connection
💡 Plus! I’m giving you a free resource to help you create more time for yourself in the midst of all the chaos… because the best way to show up for your relationship is to make sure you’re not running on empty! Grab my free Mornings Made Simple: From Chaos to Calm for Busy Moms guide! and start your day feeling calmer, more focused, and more in control.

179. Mindset Reset: The Secret To A Strong Marriage: Growth & Change
Hi Mamas,
Today we are breaking down this quote: “A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individual and in the way they express their love.” – Pearl S. Buck
Marriage isn’t about staying the same—it’s about growing together. In today’s Monday Mindset episode, we’re diving into what it really means to build a strong relationship that embraces change, personal growth, and evolving love languages.
If you’ve ever felt like your relationship doesn’t look the way it did when you first fell in love… that’s not a bad thing! It just means you’re both growing. The question is: Are you growing together?
Tune in as I break down:
✅ Why a healthy marriage makes room for individual and shared growth
✅ How to recognize the ways your partner expresses love now (even if it looks different than before!)
✅ A simple mindset shift that can strengthen your connection
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is:
Take a moment to reflect on how both you and your partner have grown over the years. What’s changed? What’s stayed the same?
Notice the way your partner expresses love today.
Show Your Appreciation to them!
Because at the end of the day, love isn’t about staying the same—it’s about growing together.
I'd love to here how what you learn from this challenge! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it… and maybe it will help inspire other moms, just like you.

177. Mindset Reset: Making Resolutions Stick - How Working Moms Can Achieve Their Dreams
Hi Mamas,
Did you know that 64% of people abandon their health and fitness goals by the end of January? Shocking, right? But it doesn’t have to be that way for you! In this episode, we’re diving into this quote:
“A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” by Greg Reid.

From planning with intention to breaking down your goals into manageable steps, you’ll leave this episode feeling empowered to take action and stay the course. Plus, I share my personal goal-setting journey, including how I’m tackling my own health and fitness goals this year.

174. Monday Mindset: Unlock Your Potential - How Visualizing Your Future Self Can Transform Your Life
Hi Mamas,
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the powerful concept of seeing your future self. Inspired by a quote gifted to me by my dear friend and former coach, Allison Reynolds, this mindset shift has been a cornerstone of my personal growth. Your future self isn’t some far-off dream; she’s created by the choices you make every day.
We’ll talk about what it means to envision the version of you who has achieved her dreams and how to start making small, intentional changes to align your actions with your aspirations. I’ll also challenge you to spend 10 minutes this week visualizing your future self and taking one step toward her.
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is:
Take 10 minutes to sit down with a journal, a piece of paper, or even the notes app on your phone. Write out a description of your future self. What does she look like? How does she feel? What does her day look like? What are her priorities? Once you’ve written it down, choose one small action you can take this week to bring yourself closer to her. Just one.
I'd love to hear to celebrate the task you get done this week! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it and you can help inspire other moms, just like you.

172. Mindset Reset: Stop Burying Your Dreams: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Growing Your Passion
Hi Mamas,
I’ve always been drawn to quotes—the kind that stop you in your tracks and make you think. This week’s quote is one that hit me right in the feels:
“They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” 🌱
It’s not just a Mexican proverb—it’s a powerful reminder of resilience, growth, Overcoming Self-Doubt and Growing Your Passionand refusing to let anything or anyone (including ourselves) hold us back. Today, I’m getting real about how we sometimes bury our own passions. Yes, it’s easy to blame external forces, but what about when we’re the ones holding ourselves back, telling ourselves our dreams are impractical, impossible, or just not the right time?
I’ll share how this quote resonated with me on a deeply personal level, especially as a working mom balancing the demands of family, career, and my passion for helping other moms like you. I’ll also unpack the importance of letting those buried dreams see the light and why it’s never too late to nurture that “seed” inside you.
💖 My challenge for this week mamas is:
Take five minutes today to reflect on your passion—what’s the one thing that lights you up inside when you think about it? Write it down. Then, take one small action toward that passion. It could be as simple as researching a course, starting a journal, or just sharing your dream with someone you trust.
When you’re ready, head over to our Facebook group, Work-Life Balance For Working Moms, and share your passion and your first step with us. I can’t wait to cheer you on!

Hi Mamas,
In today’s episode, we’re diving into those sneaky little time wasters that steal our productivity, joy, and peace as busy moms. You know the ones I’m talking about—procrastination, overcommitting, poor planning, and let’s not forget perfectionism (ugh, guilty as charged!).

Whether you’re rocking it in your corporate role or navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, these tips are going to help you reclaim your time and focus on what truly matters.
I’m also spilling the tea on my favorite tools—like my current planner obsession—and sharing how I finally stopped saying “yes” to everything and started prioritizing what actually aligns with my values. So grab a cup of coffee (or reheat the one you forgot in the microwave—we’ve all been there) and let’s get into it. It’s time to take back your time and sanity
