Today’s episode is a raw, heartfelt conversation about navigating hard seasons—the ones that stretch you, test you, and ask more of you than you feel ready to give.

If you’re in a season that feels heavy, uncertain, or just harder than expected, this episode will remind you that you’re not stuck—you’re evolving.

Alicia shares the mindset shifts and beliefs that have carried her through years of challenge, including how to reframe difficult seasons, trust that everything is unfolding for your growth, and stay anchored in faith even when you can’t yet see the full picture.

This is your reminder that the pressure you feel isn’t random—it’s preparation. And even now, something beautiful is unfolding.

What do you do when the dream on your heart doesn’t make sense to anyone else?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsay Jacobi, founder of Acton Academy Morristown and creator of the Glow Up Collective, who shares the story of how she built a school—while raising three young children, including a newborn—despite being told she wasn’t qualified and that it couldn’t be done.

In this reflective solo episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia shares a powerful realization that came through during a recent breathwork experience about purpose, career alignment, and why the next step in your career may be the doorway to something deeper. 

Many ambitious moms reach a moment where life looks successful on paper — the career, the credentials, the responsibilities — yet something inside quietly asks, Is this really the path I’m meant to be on?

Alicia explores how so many women become disconnected from their deeper purpose as life, expectations, and responsibilities accumulate over time, and why discovering your purpose often begins with a simple but courageous step: questioning whether the work you chose years ago still aligns with who you are today.

In this episode, she shares:

• Why your next career move doesn’t have to be your final destination

What happens when the dream you carried for years finally comes true… and you still feel a pull for more?

In this powerful conversation, Jessica “Vibrant” Hammock shares her journey through marriage trauma, infertility, and ultimately becoming a mother after a ten-year wait. But what surprised her most wasn’t motherhood itself — it was the identity recalibration that followed.

For ambitious women who once believed motherhood would be the final destination, this episode explores what it means when purpose expands beyond what we originally imagined.

We talk about:

If you’re a driven mom who loves your children deeply but feels a quiet pull to create, lead, or build something meaningful alongside motherhood, this conversation will remind you that wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful — it makes you self-aware.

The “Great Millennial Career Crisis” is everywhere right now — burnout, financial stagnation, and the realization that the traditional work-hard-and-you’ll-be-secure promise hasn’t delivered.

But for ambitious mothers, this crisis goes even deeper.

In this episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia unpacks why millennial women didn’t just buy into career ambition — we bought into total life optimization. Thriving careers. Present motherhood. Fit bodies. Beautiful homes. Strong marriages. Financial independence. And somehow doing it all effortlessly.

No wonder so many high-achieving moms feel exhausted.

This isn’t laziness. It isn’t failure. It’s math.

You’ll learn:

If you’re a driven working mom who feels successful on paper but overwhelmed in reality, this episode will help you shift from panic to power — and start building ambition that aligns with your real life.

If you’ve been craving alignment without blowing up your life, this episode will remind you that wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful — it makes you awake.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Everything is fine… so why do I still feel restless?” In this episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia speaks directly to the working mom who isn’t burned out, isn’t miserable — but knows deep down she’s meant for more.

We unpack why feeling “fine” isn’t a failure, but often a powerful signal that you’re outgrowing the life you built before motherhood. Alicia shares how motherhood shifted her priorities — and why it’s normal, human, and healthy for desires, dreams, and identity to evolve over time.

This episode explores fear, identity shifts, and the quiet ache many moms feel when their life looks good on paper but no longer feels aligned. If you’re a working mom caught between gratitude and longing — wanting more joy, fulfillment, freedom, or creativity without blowing up your life — this conversation is a reminder that your desires matter, your dreams are valid, and it’s not too late to begin again.

Many moms assume survival mode ends once the newborn phase passes — but what if it quietly lingers for years? In this episode, Alicia shares a deeply personal realization: she had been living in survival mode since the birth of her son, without even knowing it.

Reflecting on postpartum challenges, career pressure, leadership responsibilities, and unresolved burnout, Alicia walks listeners through how prolonged stress can become normalized — shaping decisions, health habits, and even how we answer questions like “Do I want more?” without realizing it’s fear speaking.

The conversation explores nervous system regulation, inner child healing, and why feeling “stuck” isn’t always a motivation problem — it’s often a safety response. Alicia shares gentle, accessible practices that have helped her begin stepping out of fight-or-flight and into rest, trust, and regulation.

If you’re a mom who feels tired, blocked, or disconnected despite “doing all the right things,” this episode offers language, clarity, and permission to get curious — and a reminder that healing doesn’t require force, only awareness and compassion.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Alicia and Gina Lowe explore what happens after the awakening — when a mom realizes she’s lost herself and begins the work of reclaiming who she is without abandoning her family or burning her life down.

Gina shares how reconnecting with herself transformed the way she showed up as a mother, partner, and leader in her home. Together, they unpack the internal work of breaking over functioning patterns, releasing guilt, and trusting children and partners to step into shared responsibility — not as a loss of control, but as an act of love.

This episode challenges the deeply engrained belief that mothers must choose between being devoted moms and fulfilled women. Instead, Alicia and Gina explore how pursuing desires, setting boundaries, and redefining success actually create more joy, regulation, and connection within the family.

If you’re a mom who loves your family and feels called to something more, this episode offers reassurance, permission, and a powerful reminder: you don’t have to leave motherhood to reclaim yourself — you get to do both.
