The Momentum Podcast

This episode isn’t just about motherhood—it’s about what happens when every part of your life starts to shift at once. Kids growing up and coming home, careers pivoting, old roles fading, new ones not fully formed yet… and you’re standing in the middle, wondering, Who am I now?

Molly opens up about watching her youngest son graduate and the emotional shift that comes with loosening your grip and trusting what’s next—for him and for herself. Lena shares what it’s like having her son home from college—how being in a familiar environment with a new dynamic is showing up in unexpected ways, including her work.

This conversation is about the space between chapters—and the invitation to evolve with your life, instead of resisting it. It’s about surrendering control, staying open, and learning to move forward even when it feels uncertain or unfamiliar.

Because momentum in this season? It might look less like a sprint and more like an intentional, soul-led walk forward.

In this powerful episode, we’re joined by someone who’s not just defying the rules—she’s rewriting them entirely. Meet Terry Yoffe: a 3x-certified Executive Coach, host of a top-ranked podcast, and a living example that it’s never too late to step into your power.

Terry shares her journey from being the girl who “wasn’t supposed to make it” to crushing it in a male-dominated media world, pivoting careers at 60, and now—at 82—stepping onto stages with boldness and purpose.

We talk about:

• The limiting beliefs she had to overcome to rise
  
  
• What it took to lead with confidence in corporate rooms where she felt out of place
  
  
• Her big career reinvention and what it taught her about courage
  
  
• Why she’s stepping into more visibility—not less—in this season of life

If you’ve ever felt like you missed your window, this episode will remind you that your best chapter might still be ahead.

Sometimes life throws a curveball you didn’t see coming—sickness, emergencies, total derailment of your plans—and suddenly you're in a full-on pause. In this episode, Molly and Lena get vulnerable about the kind of weeks that test your nervous system and force you to reassess everything.

From unexpected illness to family medical crises, they share what it’s like to show up in the mess, let go of control, and honor your human limits without giving up on your vision. If you’re in a season where nothing is going according to plan, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, rest, and reconnect with what really matters.

🎙️ You’ll hear:

• What energetic burnout can teach you
• The mindset shift from “doing” to “being”
• Business continuity (when you’re the business!)
• How to hold the vision when life is upside down

Whether you’re powering through or laying flat—this episode reminds you: you don’t have to have it all figured out to take your next best step.

Ever feel like you're moving through life, burning energy, but going nowhere fast? In this episode, Lena and Molly dive into the real talk about feeling stuck—whether it's a midlife crisis, questioning the 'American Dream,' or just sensing that your GPS has no destination.

They unpack why it's so easy to normalize misery and how to start pivoting toward a life that feels aligned. If you're unsure about what you want, they explain how contrast (starting with what you don’t want) can help you clarify the vision for what you do want. Plus, they tackle common roadblocks like limiting beliefs, societal expectations, and being too prescriptive about the 'how' of success.

It’s time to look back at your past wins, challenge old thought patterns, and get your vision back on track.
