Our #4 most listens to episode of all time! Originally airing in January of 2022, this episode is definitely one of our most important conversations we have had on the show. Enjoy! 

*TRIGGER WARNING* Child/Infant choking and death

Child choking is one of those things that we don't talk about enough. It is scary, and we often think "that won't happen to me". If it does... do you know what to do? In this episode, I am joined by The CPR & Safety Lady - Gail Gould - to talk about how to prevent a horrific event like choking, and what to do if it happens in your home. Gail has a mission to teach as many parent, grandparents, and caregivers as possible about CPR and choking relief, and talks to us about how no parent should ever have to lose a child to choking. Gail is a wealth of knowledge and shares real life stories, the differences between child choking and gagging, and what to do if choking happens. She talks about how prevention is key to avoiding CPR and shares great tips to you can start using today to help prevent a choking incident. Gail has a variety of classes, courses, and education on her social platforms and is passionate about helping spread awareness!

So I’ve talked a lot about my maternity leave, and it seems like it just keeps getting extended! The transition coming back to work full force has been a little tricky, and I am fully aware of how fortunate I am to be able to slowly work my way back into my full work load. As an entrepreneur, taking an extended maternity leave with both of my children has been such a blessing, but for some it can seem impossible. Today I want to talk about how I planned my maternity leave, and what I’m doing to transition back into boss mode!

Another powerful episode that sits in the #3 spot of all time listens! It was so much fun to chat with co-parents about all things same sex marriage, being ex-wives, and coparenting as queer moms! Enjoy! 

In this episode, the Boss Ladies had the opportunity to sit down with two amazing women, mothers, and friends -Beth and Christina- We got to pick their brains about their experiences with same sex marriage, their journeys to coming out and becoming mothers, and how they navigate their relationship now as ex-wives/co-parents to their two children👏 We “demystify” some of the classic questions same sex couples are asked, and laugh about the smh questions they often get like “so... who’s the dad”. This was such a fun and inspiring conversation with two strong woman who aren’t afraid to keep it REAL✨ We round out the show with the best hot mess moment to date 😅 and some fun parenting tips from Beth and Christina’s daughter👌 Follow Christina’s TikTok @ kingofbadpunsandmomjokes or email her at[email protected] with any questions about same sex parent adoptions, etc. 🗣 Want to join the conversation?

Hello my friends! Yes, it is that time of year where we are all focusing a little more on the things that we are grateful for. Now, this is something I *try* to do year round, but there is nothing like thanksgiving time and the holiday season to remind us that we have so much to be grateful for. As I was thinking about my gratitude practices and how important they are, not only for my mental health, but for my business, I had an ah-ha moment about how much of my business is really fueled by gratitude and how I truly think the more grateful you are, the better your business will be! So, let’s talk about it!

How Gratitude Fuels Your Buisness

Mental Health

Confidence 

Community

Karma 

So what do you think? How much of your business is fueled by gratitude? Let me know your thoughts! Send me an email at [email protected]

We are excited to share our MOST LISTENED TO EPISODE of all time! Originally aired in September of 2020, this episode takes us back to the personal hardships that the year 2020 exposed that many of us are still dealing with today. What an interesting look back into the past with guest Amanda Tento! Enjoy!  With all the challenges and division 2020 has brought, relationships with our loved ones can become challenging, to say the least. But how do we handle these relationships when they become toxic? On this episode the Boss Ladies are joined by the inspiring -Amanda Tento- to talk about how to navigate toxic relationships 🙌 Amanda shares her family’s experience with racism, divide in her family and close circle, and how she handles relationships when they become toxic. We answer some tough questions like do you keep quiet and not make waves in your relationships? Or do you speak up for what’s right and risk the relationship? And what do you do if you can’t get to a healthy place of disagreement? We also talk about how a difference in opinion is ok, but how to spot when it becomes toxic. With the upcoming election, the pandemic, and as the Black Lives Matter movement continues, more of us may be spotting these relationships in our lives. This episode will help you learn how to set boundaries with the people in your life and with the added challenges that makes mommin’ even harder in 2020😬 Big thank you to Amanda for being so open and honest, and sharing her stories 💖 The Determined Mom Podcast thedeterminedmom.libsyn.com/

Well boss ladies, here we are a month into Q4… and if you’re anything like me you are feeling the pressure. Since I took a good chunk of time off for maternity leave I’m having to work really hard not to go into overdrive and do too much to try to make those last Q4 and 2022 goals happen for me. But, I was thinking about it, and it isn’t necessarily maternity leave to blame for feeling this way. This is a pretty common feeling that I, and many women I work with, face every year. Time off or not. Now if you look back on some of our past episodes you will find tons of content on how to plan your quarter, how to make goals, and all the things it takes to “plan and execute a great quarter”, but what happens when you’re feeling the pressure? When those goals and plans seem too far out of reach and the clock is ticking? How can you really buckle down and get things done vs spiraling into overwhelm when you look at your lingering to-dos? My answer to this… choose focus. I’m going to share some of my tips to stay focused and not let the end of year pressure take me down!

Choose ONE Focus For The Quarter

Honor Your Life’s Season

Give Yourself A Quarter Review

Don’t Be Afraid To Edit Your Goals

Implement Some Office Hours/Themes
