Steel Toes and Sippy Cups

Episode 5: Comparison Is the Thief of Joy

Have you ever caught yourself wondering if you’re doing enough?

As moms, as women, and as blue-collar workers, it’s easy to compare our lives to what we see online or to the people around us. We compare our careers, our parenting, our homes, and even our success—but comparison can quietly steal the joy from the life we’re building.

In this episode of Steel Toes & Sippy Cups, I’m talking about why comparison is so common, how it affects our confidence, and how we can shift our focus back to gratitude and growth. This is an honest conversation about embracing your own journey, celebrating other women instead of competing with them, and remembering that your story is unfolding exactly as it should.

If you’ve ever felt like you were falling behind, this episode is for you.

Episode 4: Behind the Hard Hat : Steph 💖

This week on Steel Toes & Sippy Cups, I’m joined by my very first guest for a conversation that’s honest, inspiring, and full of real-life experiences.

Behind every hard hat is a woman with a story—one of resilience, sacrifice, determination, and heart. In this episode, we talk about the realities of working in a male-dominated industry, balancing life outside of work, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Whether you’re a blue-collar worker, a mom, or someone chasing a dream, this conversation is a reminder that your story matters, your voice deserves to be heard, and you’re never alone on this journey.

Grab your coffee, clock out, and join us for a conversation that’s real, relatable, and empowering.

Episode 3: The Weight of Mom Guilt

Mom guilt is something so many of us carry, but rarely talk about.

In this episode of Steel Toes & Sippy Cups, I’m opening up about the pressure of balancing work, motherhood, and everything in between. From missing moments with our kids to feeling like we’re never doing enough, mom guilt can be one of the heaviest parts of motherhood.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself, compared yourself to other moms, or felt torn between providing for your family and being present with them, you’re not alone.

This is an honest conversation about giving ourselves grace, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and remembering that our children don’t need perfect moms—they just need us.

Episode 2: I Never Needed Permission to Be Here

What is it really like being a woman in a male-dominated industry?

In this episode of Steel Toes & Sippy Cups, I’m sharing my experience working in the plants, the challenges I’ve faced, the lessons I’ve learned, and the moment I realized I never needed anyone’s permission to take up space in this industry.

We’ll talk about overcoming self-doubt, proving yourself, balancing work and motherhood, and why women belong in every room, on every crew, and in every industry.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to work twice as hard to be taken seriously, this episode is for you.
