Send us Fan Mail
What if the skills you use to raise your kids are the exact same skills you need to lead a team?

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Dr. Andrea Mata — known as Dr. Dre — a clinical psychologist, national speaker, and founder of BrightSpot Families, about the powerful overlap between parenting and leadership.

Whether you're leading a household, a team, or both, this conversation will challenge how you think about expectations, accountability, and the permission to be audaciously imperfect.

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Chelsea Ann O'Brien — integrative nurse practitioner, author of five books, and holistic healer — about the deep, often uncomfortable process of returning to your feminine nature in a world that's conditioned women to operate like men.

- How epigenetics during pregnancy shapes your baby's health, emotions, and future

- Why she believes a massive feminine shift is coming in 2027
- How women have lost their intuition and replaced it with manipulation and control
- The heart-opening process — why healing requires feeling, not thinking
- How to redefine success based on your nature instead of society's dangling carrot

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Kristina Irwin, a mother, first-generation immigrant, and candidate for California State Senate District 24, about the moment COVID lockdowns revealed what was happening inside her kids' classrooms and why that moment changed the course of her life.

Kristina shares:
- How she went from frustrated parent to grassroots write-in candidate earning 6,300 votes

She had a 10-year plan. Then pregnancy loss, divorce, and corporate burnout rewrote the entire script. This is what working mom reinvention actually looks like — and why peace is worth more than gold.

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Tiana Reeves — PMP-certified project manager, Six Sigma Black Belt, author, podcast host, and creator of the Corporate Mom Movement — about what happens when life forces you to throw out the plan and build something better.

- The financial belief she had to unlearn to step into her power
- How she teaches her kids (ages 7 and 9) about money using the save-give-spend system

- Why ambitious working moms still make people uncomfortable — and how to own it anyway

Whether you're navigating a career pivot, rebuilding after divorce, or trying to teach your kids about money while figuring out your own relationship with it, this conversation will remind you that you're not starting over — you're starting wiser.

March 02, 2026 The Invisible Workload of Motherhood: Dr. Danielle Dowling on Good Girl Conditioning, Self-Worth & Naming the Labor | Ep 51
Send us Fan Mail
You do an estimated 35+ hours of unpaid invisible labor every week — operations, project management, crisis response, HR, executive decision-making. And most of us have been conditioned to call it "just being a mom."

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Dr. Danielle Dowling, Psy.D. — certified life coach, doctor of psychology, and author of the upcoming book Good Girl, Bad Mom — about the invisible workload that motherhood demands, why naming it as work feels like betrayal, and what it actually takes to reclaim your self-worth inside the life you love.

Dr. Dowling shares:
- Why "good girl conditioning" turns overwhelm into personal shame — not systemic critique
- The Oxfam stat that will stop you cold: women globally perform $10 trillion of unpaid labor annually
- The motherhood org chart — and the six-figure salaries those skills would command at any company
- Why self-abandonment gets labeled "good mom-ness" — and how to start seeing it clearly
- A powerful language swap: replace "help" with "own" to transfer real household responsibility
- Her self-worth → self-respect → self-care framework, and why starting with self-care always fails

Whether you're a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in the messy middle — this conversation will give you language for something you've always felt but never been allowed to name.
