Michelle Kerr is a coach and consultant for ambitious moms who want to build impact in their work while staying present at home and actually feeling like themselves. In this conversation, Michelle shares the pivotal turning points that shaped her path, including navigating identity loss after miscarriage, the surrender that led to motherhood, and the choice to walk away from a highly successful seven-figure business to build a life that felt aligned.
Together, Becky and Michelle unpack what most people get wrong about nervous system regulation and why “surface-level self-care” often doesn’t touch the root of burnout. Michelle shares her deeper approach to regulation through values, boundaries, and energy management, plus the identity work that helped her move through self-doubt. They also get into cycle awareness and planning life around your energy, not constant pressure.
If you’re an ambitious mom (or a woman holding a massive mental load) who’s tired of stop-start cycles, over-functioning, and trying to do it all perfectly, this one will land.
