55. The Mindset Shifts You Need Today as a Working Mom with Amy Birkel


Listen Later

Welcome back to Working Mom Moments! In this inspiring episode, I sit down with one of my favorite humans—and my boss—Amy Birkel, Chief Operating Officer at Heritage Communities. Amy opens up about her journey as a working mom of three and shares hard-won wisdom from her seat in the C-suite.

Together, we dive into:

  • How to break free from the Drama Triangle and embrace the Empowerment Dynamic

  • Why shifting from victim to creator, and adopting roles like challenger and coach, can change everything

  • Real-world examples of managing executive leadership while raising a family

  • Practical tips for time management, boundary-setting, and redefining balance

  • The mindset tools every working mom should know to thrive at work and at home

  • If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, stuck in reactive mode, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will equip you with empowering tools and perspective shifts to take back control. Whether you’re leading a team or leading bedtime routines, this conversation is for you.

    Hit play for a real, relatable, and radically helpful conversation on what it takes to grow your career without losing yourself along the way.
