The Balance

In this empowering episode of our podcast, we delve into the critical topic of setting boundaries at work - specifically tailored for hardworking moms. Join us as we explore the unique challenges faced by mothers in the professional sphere and discuss effective (and not so effective) strategies to create a harmonious work-life balance.

We start by acknowledging the juggling act that working moms undertake daily. Balancing career aspirations with family responsibilities can often feel overwhelming, leading to increased stress and burnout. However, by setting clear boundaries, we believe moms can regain control, boost productivity, and enhance their day to day life.

Come along as we continue on our mission to find, The Balance!

In this episode of The Balance we discuss the countless skills we've developed and refined throughout our personal journeys of Motherhood. We map out how these skills have equipped us with next level contribution, productivity and efficiency in our respective approaches to business. We counter the tendency for society to stigmatize women's ability to juggle all the balls by proving daily that we are masters of multitasking and negotiation. Equipped with an unparalleled ability to tackle deadlines, (and drama) with style and grace, it's no wonder Mamas make some of the strongest executives, business owners and workforce bad asses on the planet.

In this episode of The Balance we dive into how we approach the multi layered  mental load of motherhood.

In this episode of The Balance we dive head first into what it looks like for us to find rest as working Moms. In a world that perpetuates constant stimulation with demands at every turn, where gratification is instant and self care the last in a long list of to do’s, we discuss the consequences of prioritizing ourselves last.

By its very definition, self care is about taking action to preserve and improve our health and well being. We talk about how taking care of our needs isn’t a one size fits all approach. Consequently, filling our personal joy buckets looks a bit different for each of us in this season of life.

The truth is….. when it comes to the everyday juggles of balancing  motherhood with trying to grow our business, there will always be something else we ‘should’ be doing. Admittedly we realize that putting ourselves on the back burner while prioritizing every other need or demand will lead to a perpetual cycle of pouring from an empty cup and ultimately, emotional burnout.

Maybe our definition of self care will evolve as we navigate our different phases of motherhood and business. We plan on holding each other accountable as we make a consistent effort to carve out that time for ourselves.

Listen in as we dive into how we aspire to define self care on our own terms and continue on our journey to find….The Balance.

Sit back, relax, and join us as we plan with purpose and continue on our mission to find... THE BALANCE!

In this episode of The Balance, we dive head first into the multi faceted trappings of Mom guilt. In a world that celebrates highlight reels and having everything under control, we discuss how we navigate this very personal journey. We share what works for us (and what doesn’t), and discuss how we combat getting stuck in perpetual cycles of comparison within a society that perpetuates perfection. A must listen for everyone navigating the inevitable traps of mom guilt in a culture of comparison. Join in as we continue on our mission to find...The Balance.
