In this week's episode Kelli chats with Julie Ann Randall, a life coach and owner of Allowing Joy. She empowers her clients to create their joyful desires, even when it seem impossible. They also talk about Julie Ann's greatest passion, which is empowering people to say yes and create what their hearts truly desire.

Here's the breakdown:

05:24 - Balance is always paying attention to yourself

07:48 - The biggest challenge is often like shifting those thoughts and finding the reasons why you can rather than why you can’t

08:01 - The first thing is to notice what the thought is

12:22 - Find effective ways to help people to see past these limiting thoughts that we have in our brains

24:38 - The first time us really getting clear about what it is you want and admitting it at least to yourself

26:18 - There’s multiple paths if you could come up with some other thoughts about it, rather than it’s impossible or whatever that limiting thought is

32:29 - A lot of people do actually know what they want. They’re just afraid to admit it

33:23 - Make a list of what it is that you don’t want

Jullie Ann taught us that listening to our inner voice is more important than listening to what others have to say. Taking the time to work on our own development may be difficult, but it will be worth the effort.

Do you want to finally own your truth, trust your inner voice and listen to your body to discover the path to your purpose and happiness?

Kelli Rae Thompson is a leadership coach and speaker who helps women leaders advance with clarity and confidence in their careers, businesses and lives.

I've been talking a lot lately about trusting our intuition as women, and in this conversation we dive even deeper into the process of trusting ourselves and owning our truth and how we can go about even doing that (when others around us can influence our decisions and paths, and of course, when we instill our own self-doubt.)

Here's the breakdown:

5:07 Managing a business career
10:30 What is clarity?
11:25 Getting started as a coach
17:11 Helping women have difficult conversations, setting boundaries
19:18 Tools to encourage women to speak their truth at work and in their lives
23:16 Trusting what our bodies are telling us and not ignoring the signs ("Your body knows your shit!")
28:36 Advice for next steps in your career and life

We can rely on ourselves and be confident in making major life decisions (and trust our intuition in the process!)

Sometimes we have to let go of the outcome and trust the process that everything in our lives will unfold as it's meant to! Have some faith in the universe that it's conspiring to help you.

Also if you have a few minutes to rate/review the podcast, I would be so, so grateful! Leaving a rating & review will help me reach even more moms with this content, and my goal is to help moms around the world discover their passions and dreams after becoming moms. Because our dreams do not end when we become mothers :-)

In this podcast, Kelli is with Jayne Havens, is a certified sleep consultant and runs her own sleep consulting practice, Snooze Fest by Jayne Havens.

As a new parent, overwhelmed by exhaustion, Jayne found herself reading everything she could find in order to get her own son to sleep through the night. She applied what she learned to both of her children, implementing good sleep habits very early on. They talk about how her slide business grew into a full-time job. And various methods for dealing with sleep.

They also talked about:

Let me ask you a question, mamas:

When was the last time we told Dads what to do?

Crystal Ohikhuare @thecrystaloh asked this exact question in her recent blog post titled "Stop Telling Moms What to Do During a Global Pandemic."

And on this episode of the Confessions of a Working Mom Podcast, we chat all things related to being a working mom during a global pandemic, and the immense amount of challenges that has brought to moms around the world.

Moms are exiting the workforce in mass numbers, and Crystal brings to light some life-changing advice for women who are struggling with the decision to stay or go. 

And spoiler alert - You don't have to quit entirely if you are burnt out and stressed.. You have options!

Crystal is a working mom in Human Resources and Recruiting. She's held several leadership positions with different organizations and has launched, grown and sold several HR-related businesses. She also co-hosts the podcast @notyourtokenblackgirl - you can find anywhere you tune into podcasts for weekly episodes!

Tune in to this conversation, where we dive deep into the dynamic of working families and how everything changed in the past year, plus what we can do to stay connected to our careers, our passions and create a life by design.

And, if you have a few minutes, I'd be so grateful if you could rate & review the podcast on Apple.
