219. Mindset Reset: Be Brave Enough To Go First! Making Friends As A Working Mom


Listen Later

Hey mama,

Today’s episode is a little heart-to-heart, inspired by one of you. A listener reached out and saying she's struggling with making friends as a working mom... and it hit me deep.

So we’re diving all the way in this week! Let’s be real…making friends as a grown woman is just plain awkward. It’s not like when we were little and you could walk up on the playground and say, “Wanna be friends?” and that was that. Now it takes courage, intentionality, and a whole lot of emotional energy we don’t always have left at the end of a long day. 

In this episode, I’m sharing a quote that really hit me:


“Friendships in adulthood don’t happen by accident. They happen because someone was brave enough to go first.” — Danielle Bayard Jackson

Most of us are walking around hoping someone will reach out, invite us, start the conversation… while we sit quietly convincing ourselves that we’d be bothering someone if we did. But mama…what if you were the one who went first?

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why friendship feels harder as a working mom

• The biggest myths about adult friendships

• How I got out of my own way and started connecting with other moms

• A mindset shift if you’ve been feeling too “busy” or “late” to make new friends

• A simple challenge to help you build real connection this week

💖 This week’s challenge:

💬 Be brave enough to go first.
Whether it’s a text, a voice memo, or just a smile and “Hi!” at school pickup… go first. Connection starts with courage, and that courage lives in YOU.

✨ Bonus Reminder: Real friendships aren’t built in perfectly curated group chats. They’re built in real moments, through small, brave choices. 💬 Then head over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms  and share what you’re doing this week to be brave! 💛
