The Mom's Got This... Mostly Podcast

Some weeks hand you a lot. A 12-hour road trip. A wedding full of people you love. Emotions you can't quite name. And a body that's just... done.

This episode is a little different. It's more of an experience than a typical conversation — and it starts in the dark, with a candle, and a shower.

In this solo episode, Alicia shares two simple practices that helped her process an unexpectedly emotional weekend: a "dark shower" she'd never heard of until it showed up on her Instagram feed, and 10 minutes of journaling that turned an octopus of feelings into something she could actually hold.

We talk about:

If you've ever gone to bed hoping sleep would resolve your feelings — and woken up to find them still there — this one's for you.

What if the answer to "how is this all going to work out" isn't more planning — it's more trust?

In this episode, Alicia sits down with Cara Nance, Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, founder of Tutum Leadership Coaching, and host of the Tutum Talk podcast, for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like a deep exhale.

Cara and Alicia talk about what it really means to follow your inner knowing when the noise around you is loud, why your logical brain can't map the next chapter of your life (and what to do instead), and the simple but powerful mindset shift — wonder over worry — that just might change the way you move through uncertainty.

If you've been waiting to feel ready, second-guessing your next step, or quietly wondering if there's something more for you — this one's for you, mama.

In this deeply grounding and expansive conversation, Alicia sits down with Susanne Eifler—former international business owner turned intuitive coach—to explore what it really looks like to build a life and career that supports you, not the other way around.

After building and leading a successful international company for 27 years, Susanne shares how she approached business and motherhood differently from the very beginning. When she became a mother in 2001, she made a clear and intentional decision: her life would come first and her business would be designed to support it.

From that point on, she set non-negotiable boundaries—including keeping Fridays completely off—and built a company that allowed her to be present for her family without sacrificing her ambition.

Together, Alicia and Susanne unpack the quiet tension so many ambitious moms feel—the pull toward something more, even when life looks successful on paper—and what it looks like to follow that pull with trust instead of force.

This conversation explores:

If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more—but can’t quite see the full path yet—this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a gentle reminder:

You don’t need to burn your life down.

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Rave—artist, therapist-in-training, and relationship coach—for a deeply honest conversation about what happens when the life you built no longer feels aligned.

Elizabeth shares her journey from creative, purpose-driven work into motherhood, and the subtle way she found herself pouring all of her energy into others—until one day, she realized she had lost her own sense of direction.

We talk about the quiet identity shift so many ambitious moms experience, and how to recognize when your “buckets” are out of balance—when you’re showing up fully for your family, but feeling disconnected from your work, your passions, or yourself.

Elizabeth opens up about what it actually looked like to recalibrate her life without burning everything down—starting with one small step of reconnecting with art after 20 years.

Inside this episode, we explore:

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.

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. 

This conversation is about more than entrepreneurship—it’s about trusting yourself when your vision doesn’t fit inside traditional expectations.

We talk about:

If you’re an ambitious mom questioning your career path and wondering if you’re meant for something more aligned, this episode explores how career transitions can lead you back to your true purpose. 

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

If you’ve felt the quiet pull toward something more aligned, this episode will help you see that your next step might simply be the next evolution of who you’re becoming.

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.

You don’t have to choose between presence and purpose. You can design both — intentionally.

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.
