Radiant Mom Rising | Identity, Mindset & Business for Moms Ready to Rise

Have you become so accustomed to running on empty that exhaustion, overstimulation, and having no time for yourself simply feel like part of motherhood?

In this powerful conversation, Mary is joined by wellness strategist, nervous system advocate, author, and mom of two Megan Swan to explore what it takes for women to reclaim their energy, reconnect with themselves, and make lasting changes without believing everything has to be difficult.

Megan shares her journey from leaving Toronto at 30 to building a life in Mexico, becoming a mother, navigating sleep deprivation and identity loss, pursuing multiple coaching certifications, and ultimately learning how nervous system regulation and subconscious beliefs influence lasting transformation.

Mary and Megan also have an honest conversation about alcohol, “mommy wine culture,” spontaneous sobriety, changing relationships, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the courage required to choose a different life—even when the people around you may not understand.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

✨ How motherhood can slowly disconnect women from their identities

✨ Why mindset work may not be enough when your nervous system still feels unsafe

✨ A simple 90-second practice you can use to shift your energy

✨ Why small changes can create more transformation than overwhelming plans

✨ How your self-talk can become your child’s internal voice

✨ The relationship between alcohol, shame, confidence, and personal growth

✨ Why changing your identity may also change your friendships and environment

✨ How community helps you recognize progress you cannot always see yourself

✨ Why choosing yourself creates a powerful example for your children

✨ The importance of advocating for yourself and asking better questions about your health

This conversation is your reminder that you don’t have to change everything overnight. Transformation can begin with one song, one honest question, one supportive relationship, or one decision to stop abandoning what you know you need.

What would happen to your children, finances, and property if something unexpected happened to you?

It may not be the easiest question to consider—but having a plan is one of the most loving and protective things you can do for your family.

In this episode of the Radiant Mom Rising Podcast, Mary sits down with estate planning attorney and fellow mom Eleanor Dolev to make estate planning feel less intimidating and help parents understand why it matters—even if they are young, do not consider themselves wealthy, or believe they have plenty of time.

After spending more than a decade working in litigation, Eleanor’s own family experience led her to focus on estate planning. Today, she helps families in Oregon and Washington protect their children, preserve their assets, and reduce the risk of unnecessary court proceedings and family conflict.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn:

✨ The three essential areas every parent should plan for
✨ Why estate planning is not only for wealthy families
✨ What may happen to your assets when you die without a plan
✨ How probate can delay access to money your family may need
✨ Why naming a guardian in the proper legal documents is so important
✨ What could happen to minor children before a long-term guardian is appointed
✨ The potential risks of online and DIY estate-planning templates
✨ Why powers of attorney and other documents must be created carefully
✨ How thoughtful planning can reduce stress, expense, and family conflict
✨ Why you never truly lose—you either win or you learn

This episode is not about living in fear or expecting the worst. It is about giving yourself peace of mind and making decisions today that protect the people you love most.

What if the greatest thing you could give your child isn't more opportunities... but the belief that they're capable of creating their own?

In today's inspiring conversation, I'm joined by Margot Bisnow, author of Raising an Entrepreneur, to talk about the powerful role parents play in helping children build confidence, resilience, courage, and the freedom to pursue what truly lights them up.

After interviewing nearly 100 entrepreneurs from every background imaginable, Margot discovered one surprising pattern they all shared—and it wasn't money, talent, or prestigious schools.

It was having someone who believed in them.

As moms, this conversation goes far beyond raising future entrepreneurs. It's about learning how our own fears, beliefs, and willingness to grow shape the way our children see themselves and what's possible for their own lives.

Inside this episode we discuss:

✨ The one thing nearly every successful entrepreneur had growing up

✨ Why supporting your child's passions matters more than chasing perfection

✨ How resilience is built through adversity—not avoiding it

✨ Why failure is often the greatest teacher

✨ The importance of trusting both yourself and your children

✨ How our own personal growth influences the next generation

If you've ever wondered how to raise confident, resilient children while also giving yourself permission to chase your own dreams, this episode is for you.

🎉 Identity Reset enrollment is officially OPEN!

If you're ready to stop living on autopilot, rebuild self-trust, and become the woman you know you're meant to be, I'd love to invite you into Identity Reset.

And if you're not quite ready yet, join me for my FREE live coaching workshop:

Become the Woman You Can Trust

Together we'll explore why lasting transformation isn't about learning more—it's about becoming someone who consistently lives what she already knows.

What happens when you stop running from your emotions and finally start listening to what they're trying to tell you?

In this honest panel-style episode of Radiant Mom Rising, Mary Dibble is joined by coaches Shauna B. and MaryBeth for a powerful conversation about emotional healing, self-trust, motherhood, breaking generational patterns, inner child work, nervous system awareness, and learning to respond differently when life gets hard.

Together, they explore why healing isn't about never being triggered, overwhelmed, or knocked off course again.

It's about noticing sooner.

Understanding what you need.

Letting go of the shame attached to struggling.

And learning how to return to yourself without abandoning who you are every time life gets uncomfortable.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

• Why avoiding pain can keep you from fully living

• Learning to feel emotions instead of suppressing them

• How childhood conditioning follows us into adulthood and motherhood

• Breaking generational patterns without expecting perfection from yourself

• Helping children process emotions without immediately trying to fix them

• Why your body may recognize overwhelm before your mind does

• The connection between awareness, emotional regulation, and self-trust

• Measuring growth by how far you've come instead of how far you still have to go

• Why healing doesn't mean you'll never spiral again

• Learning to recover, ask for support, and return to yourself faster

If you've been doing the inner work but still wonder why old patterns, emotions, or reactions keep showing up, this conversation will remind you that growth isn't measured by never struggling again.

Sometimes the clearest evidence that you're healing is how differently you respond when you do.

💛 IDENTITY RESET OPENS NEXT WEEK

We've been talking about identity, self-trust, emotional regulation, boundaries, healing, habits, and becoming for months.

Now we're getting ready to bring this work into one space.

Next week, enrollment opens for the first Identity Reset Founding Member Round.

I'm intentionally limiting this experience to no more than 15 moms who are ready to take their growth seriously, show up for themselves, support other women, and become part of building the foundation of the community I've envisioned for so long.

Founding Members will receive the special founding-member price and lifetime access to the program.

If you've been following this journey and something in you keeps telling you that you want to be part of what we're building, join the waitlist now.

You were never meant to carry motherhood, work, your home, your dreams, your relationships, your finances, and everyone else's needs without support.

But for so many women, doing everything becomes normal.

Until the exhaustion, resentment, overwhelm, self-doubt, or financial stress becomes impossible to ignore.

In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of Radiant Mom Rising, Mary Dibble sits down with entrepreneur, financial systems expert, and Money Clarity Catalyst Linda Hunt for a conversation about what really happens when women stop relying on themselves to hold everything together and begin creating the support, systems, boundaries, and self-trust that allow them to grow.

Linda shares lessons from decades of entrepreneurship, becoming a bonus mom, navigating caregiving responsibilities, underpricing and overdelivering in business, and realizing that the patterns affecting our money, relationships, boundaries, and businesses often follow us until we're willing to recognize and change them.

Together, Mary and Linda explore why support systems can create more mental capacity, how structure can help calm an overwhelmed nervous system, why women abandon themselves trying to take care of everyone else, and why money problems are rarely just about money.

✨ In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why overwhelmed moms need support systems—not more pressure

• How small structures and routines can reduce the mental load

• The connection between people-pleasing, boundaries, self-worth, and money

• Why you don't have to wait until you're successful to receive support

• How women unintentionally self-abandon while caring for everyone else

• Why money problems are rarely just math problems

• How underpricing and overdelivering can reflect deeper beliefs about your worth

• Why confidence grows when you have processes that support you

• How to make more intentional investments in yourself and your business

• Why the people closest to you can either expand or drain your capacity

• How rejection, unsubscribes, no-shows, and setbacks can become evidence of growth

• Why taking action and gaining experience matter more than waiting until you feel completely ready

If you've been trying to hold everything together, questioning why you're exhausted, struggling to trust yourself, or knowing you're ready for more but unsure how to create sustainable change, this conversation will remind you that you don't need more pressure.

You need support that helps you stop abandoning yourself while you build the life you're trying to create.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered...

Who am I outside of being "Mom"?

In this heartfelt episode of Radiant Mom Rising, Mary Dibble sits down with Coach Whit, head coach of Apogee Women, to explore one of the biggest struggles so many mothers quietly carry: losing themselves while taking care of everyone else.

Together they unpack what it really means to reclaim your identity, create healthy boundaries without guilt, reconnect with the woman you were before motherhood, and model confidence, resilience, and self-respect for your children.

If you've been feeling burned out, disconnected, or like you've forgotten who you are, this conversation will remind you that it's never too late to choose yourself again.

In this episode we discuss:

✨ Why moms lose their identity after motherhood

✨ Healthy boundaries without guilt

✨ Creating a morning routine that fills your own cup

✨ Why taking care of yourself isn't selfish

✨ Reconnecting with the little girl inside you

✨ Building confidence through small daily promises

✨ Letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing

✨ Raising emotionally resilient children

✨ The importance of modeling self-respect for your kids

✨ Creating a family culture built on communication and connection

Sometimes the greatest gift you can give your family isn't doing more...

It's becoming more of yourself.

Connect with Coach Whit:

Coach Whit Voisin is a brand growth intelligence expert who guides overwhelmed women, especially devoted mothers, to stop disappearing in motherhood, marriage, or work. She empowers them to find their voice, put themselves first, and build a strong, multifaceted identity that thrives beyond their roles.

Having personally navigated years of playing small and feeling invisible, Whit deeply understands the profound struggle of losing oneself amidst family and business demands. She once believed that being a 'good mom' meant always putting herself last, but through her own transformative journey, she discovered that choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's leadership.

Whit is passionately dedicated to helping women reclaim their agency, set boundaries without guilt, and build a full, vibrant life that truly reflects who they are, modeling strength and joy for their children and themselves.
