Previously the Small Jar Podcast

If you’ve ever felt stuck—unsure how to move forward or even what you want next—this episode is for you. As moms of teens and college kids, we spend so much time supporting everyone else that we forget to ask ourselves what we want. And when we finally do? The self-doubt, guilt, and anxiety creep in fast.

In this follow-up to last week’s episode, I dive deeper into why pursuing your dreams isn’t about having the perfect plan—it’s about shifting your mindset, letting go of old beliefs, and choosing to believe in you.

We’ll talk about:

How our emotional habits—like overthinking, perfectionism, and resentment—keep us stuck

Why letting go of control is the first step toward confidence

The impact of boundaries—not just with others, but with your own inner critic

How to reconnect with your purpose and identity in a season where motherhood is shifting

And why your next chapter can feel both scary and exciting—and that’s okay

This episode will help you stop waiting for clarity and start creating it. You don’t need permission, a step-by-step plan, or anyone’s approval. You just need to remember that your emotional well-being, fulfillment, and growth matter too.

Let’s break free of the mental traps and build a future rooted in calm, confidence, and possibility.
