Can you be fully present as a mom and still chase your ambitions without guilt? In this episode, we unpack the tension that comes with wanting to be there for your children while also building, growing, and becoming more of yourself.
We get honest about the level of “selfishness” that can come with ambition, what it really means to show up as a present mom, and how to navigate the internal tug-of-war between purpose and responsibility. Is it selfish… or is it necessary?
Of course, we keep it light with our usual catch-up, from random questions and facial expressions getting us in trouble, to what we can (and can’t) do in heels before diving into a conversation that so many women are quietly navigating.
If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and who you’re becoming, this one will hit home. 🤍
