This week's episode features my first pregnant guest and a soon-to-be first-time mom, efficiency queen, Adrienne Dorison!

Adrienne is the Co-Founder of Run Like Clockwork™ alongside her business partner, Mike Michalowicz, where she equips CEO's to design a business + team that can run itself, like clockwork. Adrienne has helped hundreds of CEO's scale faster, develop the right systems, create bulletproof teams and be able to take an unplugged vacation, literally a 4-week unplugged vacation!

Although she's a first-time mom, I wanted to learn from her on how she is planning on structuring her business so that she can personally take a 4-week unplugged maternity leave.

Adrienne has spent the past 10+ years in the field of operational efficiency, and has since created the most simplistic approach to making your business ultra-efficient.

She's personally passionate about baking in generosity into business models, and believes when we earn more money, we can give more away.

Adrienne lives in St. Petersburg, Florida with her husband and their 2 dogs and baby girl on the way.

One look at lifestyle and travel photographer Anna Argiropoulos' Instagram feed @AnnawithLove and you're sure to be filled with happiness from the bursts of color, creativity and gorgeous photography. From flying children to giant pink balloons in Paris to Pinterest perfect desk layouts, gallery walls and home decor, you might think Anna's life is nothing but rainbows and sunshine. While her personality is just that (plus lots of smiles and laughs), her real life and building her business is a little messier.

So what really happens "behind the lens?" Anna's highly curated feed is just that - content curation, not real life!

If you want a glimpse into the real life of how this Power Mom "influencer" juggles two kids under 3 years old while trying to squeeze in time to work on her multiple (and successful) creative businesses (while still get the perfect creative shot) then tune in... and also go follow her Instagram stories.

Anna takes us on her journey on how her business has evolved over the years to match her current lifestyle, her growing family, her limited time schedule, and her passion for photography and travel. Anna shares how she prioritizes and structures her schedule, why she said no to successful parts of her business, how she built her Instagram following to almost 89K and how she's building a team to help get it all done!

So often I hear moms (especially with young kids) say, "I don't even know who I am anymore" and questioning if their life is going to be anything more than motherhood. I can relate to this as I was one of those moms with a "past life" that just didn't seem to fit anymore after becoming a mom. I know first-hand what it's like to go through a complete identity crisis.

For some being a mom is the identity they have been searching for their whole life and for others the identity of being a mom is just part of a bigger puzzle, but an unknown bigger picture.

I believe you don't have to be defined as just one thing: a mom, a career woman, a CEO, a wife, a "insert your title here". Instead, if you expand who you are and embrace the concept that you can have multiple selves and identities, you can evolve into something bigger and better.

At the root of the problem is really uncovering who you are in this new chapter of your life in that moment and how you can evolve into a more awesome you, which can honestly apply to anyone.

In this episode I focus on 3 categories to help you on your journey to reclaiming your identity: mindset, action and people. Within each of these categories are a few tips on how to start on your path to rediscovering the amazing new you.

"If these are the last days that I have with them [my children], like real rich deep days, I don't want them to think of me as the mom who's only the corporate mom. I wanted them to see a different side of me... the biggest blessing in all of it has been the way that I've been able to transform as being the leader of my children." ~ Natalie Gingrich

In this episode, we go behind-the-scenes with #PowerMom Natalie Gingrich, CEO and founder of the Ops Authority, host of the Ops Authority Podcast, and mom to 2 teenagers.

From thinking she was never going to leave the corporate ladder to launching her own company training and certifying Directors of Operations and working from home, Natalie takes us through what she outsources in life and business, why she enjoys spending 17-hours a week driving her kids around, the power of masterminds, and how living a legacy life is the most important "mantra" to her and her family.
