260. How Self-Awareness Can Transform Your Life as a Working Mom: Better Relationships, More Patience, and a Happier Home


Listen Later

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. 💫
