Power Your Parenting: Moms With Teens

# 366 Can Moms Live Their Best Life?


Listen Later

Are you a mom who feels like you’ve lost your spark—like so much of your life has been poured into raising your teen that you’re no longer sure what lights you up?

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Best, author of Born to Buzz, to talk about how moms can reconnect with their passions without blowing up their lives to do it. Laura shares a refreshing and realistic approach: you don’t have to quit everything—you can rediscover your energy and purpose right where you are.

Laura Best is a motivational keynote speaker, bestselling author, and founder of Passion Collective—a global community helping people reconnect with what they love. With over 25 years of experience as a corporate marketing leader, she has worked with major brands like U.S. Bank and now helps individuals and organizations unlock passion to drive energy, engagement, and fulfillment in both work and life.

We explore why so many moms feel disconnected from themselves during the teen years, how guilt keeps us stuck, and why prioritizing your own fulfillment isn’t selfish—it actually makes you a better parent. Laura offers practical tools to help you reconnect with what you love, even if you’ve completely lost touch with it.

If you’ve been feeling flat, burned out, or like you’ve disappeared somewhere along the way—this episode is your invitation to come back to life.

✨ 3 Takeaways

1. It’s not selfish to prioritize yourself—it’s necessary.

When moms engage in what lights them up, they show up calmer, more present, and more connected. Taking care of yourself benefits your teen too.

2. You don’t need a big life change—start small.

You don’t have to quit your job or overhaul your life. Reconnecting with passion can begin with small, consistent moments that bring you joy.

3. Look back to move forward.

If you feel lost, think about a time when you felt most like yourself. What were you doing? That’s a clue to what still matters to you—and what you can bring back into your life.
