In The Mamahood

“Maybe later.” What is this for you?

Is it when the kids are older, life slows down, you have more money, or when finally have more time.

But what happens when “later” turns into years?

In this month’s Mompreneur Reset, I am talking to the mom who still has the dream, but keeps wondering whether this is really the season to pursue it.

Let’s put the hustling to the side for now. It’s about recognizing the difference between adjusting your pace and indefinitely postponing the things that matter to you. Because your family and your responsibilities matter. And you matter in the life you’re building, too.

In this episode, I talk about:

• ​Why “later” can sound responsible while becoming indefinite
• ​The difference between slowing down and giving up on something you still want
• ​Why someone else’s timeline doesn’t have to become yours
• ​How to think beyond business goals and consider the life you’re actually trying to create
• ​What waiting may be costing you
• ​How to pursue a dream within the reality of your current season
• ​Why being surrounded by other moms doing hard things matters
• ​

☕ Sip Your Tea & Sit With It

This month’s reset question:

What is one thing you’ve been putting in the “later” category that you still want?

Then ask yourself:

What would moving it from LATER to STARTED look like this month?

It doesn’t have to be big. One step counts.

This is From MOM to CEO: a series documenting what it looks like to build a business while being a mother, one season at a time.

Because you don’t have to choose which part of yourself gets to exist.

You can make room for all of you.

As moms, it can be easy to spend the entire day taking care of everyone else and realize we’ve put ourselves at the bottom of the list.

But what if taking care of yourself didn’t have to mean adding another complicated routine to your already busy life?

In this episode of In The Mamahood, I sit down with Gerli of Empowered Vitality Mom, a mom and health & wellness coach who helps moms create healthier habits that actually fit into real life.

Together, we talk about the realities of prioritizing your health while raising a family, building a business, and managing everything motherhood brings.

✨A Note for the Mom Listening✨

You don’t have to completely change your life to start taking better care of yourself.

Sometimes the most meaningful changes are the small ones you can actually keep.

Start where you are.

Work with the life you have.

And remember:

You matter, too.

Welcome to In The Mamahood: the podcast for moms building businesses while raising families.

Because motherhood and entrepreneurship don’t have to compete.

They can grow together.

Have you ever wondered if you’re actually bad at building your business, or, if you’re simply trying to build a business while also being a mom?

If you’ve ever felt behind, questioned whether you’re doing enough, or compared your business journey to someone else’s, this episode is for you.

Welcome to The Mompreneur Reset, a new monthly conversation inside In The Mamahood created for moms building businesses while raising families.

In this first episode, I get personal about the reality of building a business in the middle of motherhood and why you don’t have to have everything figured out to keep moving forward.

Next week: Join me for a conversation with Gerli Lewis, as we talk about her motherhood journey, her business, and what it really looks like to build something while raising a family.

Because motherhood and entrepreneurship don’t have to compete.

They can grow together.

There’s a moment after motherhood when you catch your reflection and realize something is different.

Not wrong, not bad. Just… Different.

And this episode, we’re talking about the emotional side of body changes after kids: the identity shift, the grief, the pressure to “bounce back,” and the quiet disconnection mini mothers feel but rarely admit out loud.

This isn’t about diet culture or forced body positivity. It’s about rebuilding a healthy relationship with your body: one rooted and respect, strength, sustainability, and love.

If this conversation resonated, share it with another mom who may be adjusting in silence. Follow the podcast, so you don’t miss next week‘s episode, and join us inside The Mamahood Facebook community where we normalize the transition. No one prepares us for.

You don’t have to relearn your body alone.

Money feels different after kids.

It’s no longer just about numbers. It’s about safety, stability, and sacrifice. It’s about daycare cost, career, trade-offs, grocery bills, and the quiet question mini moms carry: Am I contributing enough?

In this episode, we’re talking about the emotional weight of money and motherhood: the guilt, comparison trap, the silent pressure, and the fear that our financial choices could impact our families long-term.

This isn’t about budgeting tips. It’s about removing shame from the conversation and shifting from secrecy to strategy.

If this episode resonates, share it with another mom who might be carrying financial stress in silence. Follow the podcast, so you don’t miss next week’s conversation, and join us inside The Mamahood Facebook Community where we talk about the real layers of motherhood, including money.

Have to navigate this season alone.

If you’ve ever looked around at the unfinished laundry, unanswered, emails, or the chaos of your home, and thought, “Why can’t I get it together?” this episode is for you.

You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded.

Today we unpacked the invisible weight Mother‘s carry: the mental load, the emotional labor, the constant planning, remembering, and holding everything together. We talk about the guilt cycle, burnout, and how to shift from questioning your worth to recognizing your capacity.

This is a conversation about weight, not weakness.

If this resonated, share it with another mom who needs to hear it. Follow the podcast so you don’t miss next week’s episode, and join us inside The Mamahood Facebook community where we stop glorifying burnout and start redistributing the weight.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Motherhood is overwhelming and no one really prepares you for the invisible weight that comes with it.

In this first episode of In The Mamahood, we talk about the side of mom life that often goes unspoken: the mental load, the emotional labor, the identity shift, and the quiet burnout that can happen when you’re holding everything together.

If you’ve ever found yourself doing laundry on your “night off,” wondering when you morphed into just “the glue” that holds everything together… this conversation will hit home.

In this episode we explore the pressure to be present, productive, emotionally regulated, and thriving all at once. What real support actually looks like (and why it’s more than babysitting) How we begin building a village instead of carrying it all by ourselves

This is not about mom guilt. This is not about productivity hacks. This is about taking back motherhood with community, strategy, emotional awareness, and real conversations that help you feel seen and supported.

If you’re a working mom, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur mom, or somewhere in between, this space was built with you in mind.

You don’t have to survive motherhood alone anymore.

Welcome to the village.
