                      In this heart-to-heart episode, mental health coach and mom of four Ella Wong shares how she transformed her perspective from "I have to" to "I get to" - and omg, it changes EVERYTHING!

Trust me, you'll want to grab your coffee for this one - it's like therapy, but with more laughs and fewer tissues! ☕️

                      About Ella Ella Wong is a Chinese-American mom to two high school boys and twin middle school daughters. After studying business in college, she shifted careers to become a mental health coach specializing in parenting. Ella is passionate about helping other parents face the challenges of raising kids with confidence and compassion, drawing from her own experiences as a mom and her professional training. When she's not juggling sports schedules or having deep conversations with her teens, you can find her taking rejuvenating hikes in nature! 🌲

                      • Breaking free from the survival mode mentality (it's possible, I promise! 🦋)
                      • Accepting what we can't control (like those impossible sports schedules!)
                      • How motherhood evolves as our kids grow (and spoiler alert: so do we! 🌱)
                      • Finding your purpose beyond being "just mom" (while still rocking the mom thing! 👑)

                            3. S5EP3: Owning Your Mom Status at Work: How This Salesforce Leader Embraced Working Motherhood with Grace Brelje

                              🎙️ What happens when someone at work finally asks you why you keep apologizing for being a mom?

                              For Grace Brelje, that single question sparked a powerful transformation in how she showed up both as a leader and a mother. After years of compartmentalizing these parts of herself, Grace embarked on an unexpected journey that included a bold career pivot, a pandemic-induced move back home with her parents (and kids!), and ultimately, discovering how to authentically integrate her whole self at work. Now leading Global Leadership Coaching & Mentoring at Salesforce, Grace shares how embracing her identity as a working mom has actually strengthened her leadership and created deeper connections with her teams.

                              Key Takeaways:

                              • Transform your relationship with work by bringing your whole self including your mom status - to leadership
                              • Release the pressure of 140% perfectionism and discover how operating at a healthy 80% can actually make you a more effective leader
                              • Navigate major life transitions (like moving back in with parents during a pandemic!) with grace and find unexpected gifts along the way
                              • Create boundaries that honor both your career ambitions and family priorities without apology
                              • Build authentic connections at work by openly owning your working parent journey

                                • About Grace:

                                Grace Brelje leads the Global Leadership Coaching & Mentoring centers at Salesforce, focusing on enhancing organizational capabilities, empathetic leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence. With experience in Sales, Service, Recruiting, and HR across various industries, her background as a coach, facilitator, manager, yoga teacher, and parent shapes her approach. She is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), certified Action Learning Coach, Associate Certified Coach (ACC), and member of the Asian Women Coaching Collective (AWCC).

                                    3. S5EP2: From Resistance to Resilience: A Working Mom's Journey Through Family Health Challenges with Maribeth Thomas

                                      Hey there, amazing mamas! 💝 Welcome back to another episode of the Empowered Working Mom Revolution, where we dive deep into real stories that resonate with your motherhood journey.

                                      In this powerful episode, I take a moment to acknowledge the collective heaviness many of us are feeling right now - in our communities, our nation, and across the world. Whatever emotions you're experiencing, they're valid and welcomed here.

                                      I share a simple yet powerful framework that's been my anchor during challenging times - the CARE approach:

                                      • Compassionate curiosity

                                      • Acceptance of emotions

                                      • Responding to one's needs

                                      • Extending grace to yourself and others

                                        About Maribeth:

                                        Our featured guest is the incredible Maribeth Thomas, a life coach, podcast host of The Experiment, and high school basketball coach who's found her rhythm in the peaceful simplicity of rural Montana life. As she navigates the empty nest phase of motherhood now, she takes us back to a pivotal chapter in her story - when an unexpected health crisis in her family led to a complete transformation in how they approached life, wellness, and family bonds.

                                        Key Takeaways:

                                        • It's totally okay to resist change at first (seriously, who doesn't?!) - what matters is taking those baby steps forward when you're ready 👣

                                        • Finding your support squad is non-negotiable (shoutout to all the mom friends who become family! 🤗)

                                        • The whole "putting your oxygen mask on first" thing? Yeah, it's legit - taking care of YOU helps you take care of everyone else 🎭

                                        • Sometimes you gotta sit in the mucky feelings before you can find the silver lining (and that's 100% okay!) 💕

                                        • Big life challenges might just become your biggest opportunities for growth (even when they feel impossible in the moment!) ✨

                                        • The power of reframing situations isn't about being annoyingly positive - it's about finding hope when you're ready for it 🌈

                                          Whether you're in the thick of a challenging season or simply need a reminder that you're not alone in this beautiful mess of working motherhood, this conversation will fill your cup. So grab your favorite beverage, carve out a quiet moment (or listen while folding that mountain of laundry - we get it!), and let Maribeth's story remind you that even in our toughest moments, love wins. 💗

                                              3. S5EP1: Stop the Mom Guilt: Why It's OK When Your Priorities Shift as a Working Mom with Divya Ramachandran

                                                Ever feel like you're doing this whole working mom thing "wrong"? 🤔

                                                In this soulful episode, former Silicon Valley Tech VP Divya Ramachandran opens up about that time she felt totally broken because she wasn't prioritizing her kids over her thriving career (spoiler alert: she wasn't broken at all!). She shares her beautiful journey of letting go of "shoulds," redefining success on her own terms, and making a bold career pivot that aligned with her heart. Through tears, laughter, and SO many aha moments, Divya and I dive deep into what it really means to honor your truth as a working mom (even when it goes against everything society tells you to do! 😅).

                                                Key Takeaways:

                                                • Your priorities as a working mom aren't meant to be set in stone - they can (and probably will!) shift over time, and that's perfectly okay! 🌊
                                                • Being excited about your career doesn't make you a bad mom, and wanting to prioritize your kids doesn't make you less ambitious. Drop that mom guilt like it's hot! 💃
                                                • Cultivating curiosity (instead of judgment) about your feelings and choices opens up amazing possibilities for growth and change. 🦋
                                                • Instead of chasing that mythical "perfect balance," focus on feeling integrated and authentic across all areas of your life. 💫
                                                • Regular check-ins with yourself aren't just nice-to-have - they're your secret weapon for staying true to what matters most to YOU. ✨
                                                • You get to define your own identity as a working mom - not your culture, not your family, not society's expectations. (Mind. Blown. Right? 🤯)
