221. Mindset Reset: The Secret To Being a Good Mom & Good Employee When Working From Home


Listen Later

Hey mama,

Today’s Monday Mindset episode is your permission slip to stop trying to do it all at once and start creating space for what actually matters.

If you’ve ever tried to lead a Zoom call while cutting grapes, redirecting a toddler tantrum, and motioning to your kid to please stop yelling "MOM I POOPED!" …this one’s for you.

This week's quote is:

"You can be a good mom and a good employee. Boundaries make space for both."

In this episode, I’m talking about:

✔️ Why working from home isn’t always easier (even in your stretchy pants)
✔️ How to stop feeling like you’re failing at both work and motherhood
✔️ The mindset shift every working mom needs to hear this summer
✔️ What boundaries really do… and why they’re not selfish, they’re survival
✔️ A sneak peek at what’s coming in tomorrow’s where we go even deeper into how to protect your time and sanity at home

💖 This week’s challenge:

Create your own “Day’s Gone Sideways” backup plan.

This isn’t about expecting chaos — it’s about feeling prepared when chaos hits.

Your list should include:

✅ The person you can call when you’re stuck and need help with the kids
✅ A quiet-time activity or go-to distraction that buys you 30 minutes of peace
✅ A pre-written message you can copy/paste when you need to let work know your camera’s staying off today

Friend, this is how you protect your peace — not by doing it perfectly, but by doing it with intention.

🎧 Come back tomorrow for part two of this convo!

in perfectly curated group chats. They’re built in real moments, through small, brave choices.
