Mom Who Works: Redefining what it means to be a working mom (in a world without working dads...)

This episode is meant to be comforting and informative. It is important to find calm in the chaos, and this episode is a reminder of what really matters when it comes to political races. It's important to make a decision, like your reasons, borrow the belief and make a plan to vote. We are moms who vote-- and I love you so much.

I am pretty sure a mom or two needs this...because I cannot shake the feeling this is the podcast episode I need to drop this week! I'm sharing the gratitude visualization practice I'm using to stay rooted, grounded, energized and inspired. I'm regularly saying "Happy. Thank you. More please." as I look around, look behind and look forward. Listen in!

A quick follow up episode to Mom's health is a full time job...I had so many incredible messages I wanted to share more about what I'm doing. As a reminder, I'm doing what works for me-- it might not work for you! But I'm sharing the three things I'm focusing on right now to help me on my health journey. I also heard this great mantra-- stick to the plan, not your mood! And I'm carrying that on vacation with me this week.

I'm so excited to share this episode with you today-- our interview with Donelle Harder is an incredible examination of what it means to take risks and take ownership. Donelle takes us through her career trajectory that involves big moves, big risks and big ownership, resulting in her having her company acquired. She is vulnerable about the hard baby stage, and it is a breath of fresh air for moms who may not feel like one season of motherhood is for them.

This episode is very vulnerable for me, dear listener. I am sharing more about my weight journey and the ups and downs of post-baby weight gain and hormone chaos. Why does taking care of ourselves often feel like another full time job?!?!?!?! I'm sharing how I've gotten answers to why things are not working the way I want, and I want you to take away this key point: you are worth figuring it out. And you look damn good.

To schedule an appointment with Audra, who I reference in the episode, please visit her website and tell her I sent you. This is not an ad; just a testimonial to how great she's been for me.

IDK about you, but I have been on a vicious little circle of feeling regret, guilt and anxiety when I think about the past, present and future. Fortunately, after sharing more with our community, I feel less alone because I've had so many of you tell me you've been feeling the same way. In this episode, I share the ways I'm working to go from regret, guilt and anxiety to reframe, grace and awe. It helps me take a deep breath, and I hope it can do the same for you.

Moms know how to come together and get shit done. And that's my dear friend and our guest today, Congresswoman Stephanie Bice. She is leading the way, with a bipartisan coalition, on paid family leave-- and a whole host of issues that moms who work care about. When we come together, there's nothing we cannot do. And Stephanie has so many wise words as a seasoned mom of two to share with us. Listen in!

You can connect with Stephanie on Instagram @StephanieBice and @Representative Bice.

This episode is meant to be encouragement for the moms who work and make all the plans-- and the plans don't always go, well, as planned. Find some helpful mantras and answer some critical questions to bring a touch of reckless optimism to your day.

We are looking for guests to interview! Please email us at [email protected].
