  • Is AI Making Your Business Sound Like Everyone Else? — with Samantha Calderón

    Everyone’s using AI to write their posts, emails and websites now, and it’s getting hard to tell anyone apart. So how do you use it without losing what makes your business yours? Marketing strategist Samantha Calderón almost lost her copywriting business to AI, until her client came back because the quality had tanked.

    Samantha is a copywriter and marketing strategist with more than 15 years of experience helping entrepreneurs launch profitable offers. She started out finding freelance clients on Craigslist and saying yes to every gig. Then she went on to write web pages, ads, and video and radio scripts for marketing agencies across the U.S., and eventually ran full campaigns from start to finish. When AI took off, one of her agency clients ended the relationship overnight. That wake-up call changed how she runs her business: she stopped being a “word machine” and became the strategist, coach and consultant AI can’t replace.

    In this episode, Marina and Samantha talk about:

    • Why marketing is just “expressing who you are, what you do, and the why behind it”
    • Her rules for AI: let it organize and rework, but never let it start from scratch
    • Building your brand voice with a pen and paper before you open any AI tool
    • Why every piece of content should start with a real story
    • Choosing two platforms that fit how you like to create (and permission to skip the rest)
    • Time blocking your marketing so it stops taking up space in your head, plus making a month of content in one day
    • How serving on the Greater Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank board grew her skills, her network and her sense of community
    • Why it’s never too late to start your passion project

    If you’re building something on your own and feeling the pressure to be everywhere, or wondering where you fit now that AI is everywhere, this one is for you. The world doesn’t need more AI slop. It needs you.

  • Stop Being Scared to Parent Your Teenager — with Ashley James

    What if the teenage years aren’t something to brace for, but the stage you end up loving most? In this episode, I sit down with Ashley James, a content creator, mom of four, and the worship and creative arts lead at her church in San Angelo, Texas. Ashley has built a community of more than 150,000 people on Instagram with one message most parents don’t expect to hear: the teenage years don’t have to be something you dread.

    Her story online started over from scratch. After losing an account with 30,000 followers to a hack, Ashley decided to start fresh and finally talk about the thing a friend kept encouraging her to share: parenting teenagers. Five years ago, she never pictured herself as a content creator. She just kept saying yes, being brave, and following what was in her heart, and that grew into a platform, products, and a business she never expected, including her guide to raising teenagers who talk.

    Her kids are 19, 17, 14, and 12. That puts her right in the middle of it: one son is already married and launched, and three teens are still at home. Her family has done the full range of school options. They homeschooled, one son graduated from public high school, and another thrived in public middle school before choosing to come back home. Through all of it, Ashley and her husband have raised kids who chose to follow Jesus for themselves. We talk about why environment doesn’t fix the heart, how to get teens talking without pestering them, and how to build a home your grown kids actually want to come back to.

    You’ll discover:

    • The two questions Ashley asks her teens instead of jumping in with advice
    • Why so many moms lean on control, and what it looks like to look for what’s going on in your teen’s heart instead
    • How she gives her kids lots of trust and freedom with phones and screens, and what happens when that trust gets broken
    • Why there’s no one “right” school choice for Christian families, and how letting her kids weigh in changed everything
    • How living your faith for real, not just following rules, shapes kids who choose Jesus on their own
    • Why “Double down on love” is her advice for moms who already dread the teen years
    • How family mantras like “The James Gang doesn’t complain” turn into values your kids carry with them

    If you’ve been dreading the day your kids become teenagers, this conversation will change how you see it. For Ashley, success is simple: Is there peace in my home? Does my family know they are loved? Are we laughing? The teen years can be some of the best you’ll have together.

    Connect with Ashley on Instagram and TikTok at @weareashandchris, and grab her guide to raising teenagers who talk.

  • You're Not Too Busy. You're Distracted. — with Dr. Michelle Machado

    Am I missing my life? It's a question so many of us quietly carry: our lives look successful on paper, but we're wondering if they're actually working. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Machado, a speaker, author, human performance strategist, and mom of two girls who has asked herself that same question. Michelle's journey took her from academia, where she held leadership roles at eight universities, to walking away from the title and career she thought defined success after a persistent nudge from God she couldn't ignore.

    We get into the neuroscience behind stress and distraction, and why distraction isn't a discipline problem but often a coping mechanism. Michelle's new book, Alive Again: 4 Steps to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World, came out this August. It's about how we can have a life that's incredibly full and still feel disconnected from it. Michelle also shares the moment her own daughter asked if she even wanted kids, because she felt like she was distracting her mom. It's a powerful reminder that our kids are always watching and learning from what we model.

    You'll discover:

    • How to tell whether your ambition is aligned with your values and your faith
    • Why we feel so overwhelmed, and what our phones and busyness may be helping us avoid
    • The signs you're physically present with your family but mentally somewhere else
    • Practical ways to reclaim your time and attention, even when you don't have two hours each morning

    This conversation is for every mom wrestling with ambition and presence, especially the ones trying to do it all. You can be successful without sacrificing what matters most: your connection with God, yourself, and the people you love.

  • Stop Starting Businesses. What If You Bought One Instead? — with Alyssa Mouton

    What if you didn't have to build a business from scratch? Alyssa Mouton, better known as Laundry Lyss, left a decade-long career as a chemist after her son was born. She wrote letters to local laundromat owners, and one of them wasn't even planning to sell. That couple offered her seller financing, and a few months later the keys were hers.

    We get real about what owning a "boring business" actually looks like. She stacked multiple income streams under one roof, landed a federal government contract she never saw coming, and learned that nothing, and she means nothing, is truly passive. We also talk about learning to wait on God instead of jumping at every good-looking opportunity, and why the hard seasons are what make your roots run deep.

    You'll discover:

    • Why buying an existing business can beat starting from zero, and how seller financing works
    • The truth about "passive" income and why nothing is truly hands-off
    • How Alyssa hired from her own network and built systems so she could step back
    • The income streams hiding in one laundromat, from vending to pickup and delivery to commercial accounts
    • How small business owners can land federal government contracts, and why you need to be ready fast
    • The messy, humbling reality of owning a laundromat (yes, there's a horror story)

    If you've heard the "buy a boring business" talk for years and never taken a step, this episode is your push. Sometimes the opportunity isn't something you build. It's something you go find.

    Meet Alyssa Mouton
    Entrepreneur · Educator · Operator
    Alyssa owns and operates a laundromat in Louisiana and teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to buy and grow laundromats and win federal government contracts.

  • Stop Trying To Find Your Calling

    I often find myself questioning my identity beyond my roles as a producer, a mom, and a wife. Who am I when I’m not wearing those hats? In Part 3 of the Identity series, this episode dives into the heart of that question, exploring how so many of us chase our callings as if they’re just jobs or titles. We think if we label ourselves correctly—like ‘I’m a real estate agent’ or ‘I’m a mom’—we’ll somehow find the clarity we seek. But what if we’re missing something crucial?

    I’m here to share that before we can fully embrace what we’re called to do, we have to understand who we are. It’s easy to get lost in the hustle and forget that our identity as daughters of God is foundational. We can’t skip over the first questions of identity and purpose without turning our lives into a series of tests we’re trying to ace. In this episode, I’m laying out the framework for you to find that clarity. You’ll discover how to shift from struggling in a chair two mindset—where we feel like we’re always working to earn our place—to standing firm in the truth of who we are.

    I’ll break down:

    • The four rooms of influence you already have where you’re living out your calling, even if you don’t realize it
    • The importance of understanding what you already possess and how that shapes your destiny
    • How to navigate the uncomfortable waiting periods when we feel like God is withholding something from us
    • A simple yet profound question to ask yourself when restlessness creeps in, helping you discern what you truly need

    This conversation is for the busy, ambitious women who juggle motherhood, work, and faith while feeling the weight of expectations. If you’ve ever felt lost or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode is a wake-up call to realign with your true calling and identity.

  • How I Went from Striving for Identity to Embracing My Inheritance

    I have a confession: sometimes, even with the keys to my own house in hand, I find myself sleeping in my car outside. It sounds absurd, but I know I’m not alone in this feeling. As a realtor and a woman of faith, I’ve spent so much time understanding who I am in Christ, yet I still slip back into the mindset of needing to earn my place at the table. Why is that? This episode dives deep into our spiritual identity and the inheritance that comes with being a child of God.


    We’ve all worn the label of being in the family of God, but how often do we truly grasp the weight of that identity? I’ve been the one trying to balance my responsibilities in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and faith, questioning my purpose and how to wield the authority that comes with my inheritance. In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers of what it means to transition from striving for blessings to understanding our true inheritance in Christ. You’ll discover:

    • The significance of being a child of inheritance versus a child of blessing
    • How to recognize the chairs we sit in spiritually and what that means for our lives
    • Practical applications and biblical analogies that will resonate with your journey
    • The importance of understanding our identity in Christ to truly live out our purpose

    Why sometimes it feels like we’re missing out on what God has promised and how to claim it
    This isn’t just a conversation; it’s an invitation to reflect on your own relationship with God and how you’re accessing the blessings already available to you. It’s a call to step into your inheritance with confidence and responsibility instead of lingering in the shadows of doubt.

  • What If Success Didn’t Have to Feel This Heavy? | Ambition & Identity for Working Moms

    Who am I when I'm not producing?

    I have a confession: I've been wrestling with identity for most of my life. Not the deep-philosophy kind — the kind where you close a great month and immediately wonder if you can do it again. Where you finally sit down and your brain starts listing everything you should be doing. Where one slow season makes you question things a good one supposedly settled.

    In this episode I'm getting honest about what it's like to run a 100%-commission business, raise kids, and love Jesus — while still quietly asking my income, my productivity, and other people's approval to tell me who I am. I share a real season I'm in right now (three cancellations, no paycheck since June) and the question I keep coming back to: am I waiting for a closing to tell me I'm capable?

    Then we get into the "three chairs" picture from Leif Hetland's Called to Reign and the parable of the lost son — the story of a kid who came home to his father with a job application, and a father who wouldn't let him finish the sentence.

    If you've ever come home to God but brought your laptop, this one's for you.

    In this episode:

    • Why success can feel heavy even when you love your work
    • The three chairs: guest, employee, daughter — and why most of us live in Chair Two
    • How performance pressure shows up in business, motherhood, and rest
    • What the lost son's father actually did when his kid tried to get hired
    • The robe and the ring: what it means to belong before you've earned anything

    The refrain to carry into your week: The question isn't whether I work hard. The question is what I'm asking my work to give me.

    Next week, Part 2: What does it look like to live and walk in inheritance as a business woman and mom?

    Scripture in this episode: Galatians 4:4–7 · Romans 8:15–17 · Ephesians 2:8–10 · Luke 15:11–24 · John 1:12

    Who Jesus says you are: child of God (John 1:12) · loved (Romans 8:38–39) · chosen (Ephesians 1:4) · adopted (Ephesians 1:5) · redeemed and forgiven (Ephesians 1:7) · a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) · free from condemnation (Romans 8:1) · God's workmanship (Ephesians 2:10) · an heir with Christ (Romans 8:16–17) · a member of Christ's body (1 Corinthians 12:27) · gifted to serve (1 Peter 4:10) · a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20) · His (1 Corinthians 6:19–20)

  • I’m Back: Motherhood, Faith, & Redefining Success as a Working Mom

    Marina Tolentino is back on Work Like A Mother after an unexpected break—and she’s returning with a completely different perspective on motherhood, entrepreneurship, faith, career, and what it actually means to build a successful life.

    In this comeback episode, Marina gets honest about stepping away from podcasting, balancing motherhood and a real estate career, homeschooling her kids, navigating major family transitions, and growing deeper in her Christian faith. What started as a break from the podcast became a much bigger reset around identity, ambition, purpose, and the pressure so many working moms and women entrepreneurs feel to do everything—and do it well.

    She shares why Work Like A Mother went quiet, including the pressure to create a perfectly produced show, the financial cost of podcasting, comparison, and the feeling that every episode needed to perform. Now, she’s letting go of chasing charts and perfection to create something more honest, sustainable, and purpose-driven.

    IN THIS EPISODE:
    • Why Work Like A Mother disappeared—and what finally brought Marina back
    • The reality of balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, real estate, and family life
    • What a year of homeschooling taught her about parenting, presence, patience, and priorities
    • How changing her kids' schooling changed the rhythm of their entire family
    • Why working moms don't have to pursue success the way the world tells them to
    • Letting go of perfection, comparison, and the pressure to constantly grow
    • How Marina's Christian faith and relationship with Jesus changed during the break
    • Wrestling with identity, calling, ambition, and what God may be asking you to do next
    • Why this new season will include more honest conversations about faith, motherhood, business, marriage, parenting, and purpose

    Marina also opens up about one of the biggest changes happening behind the scenes: becoming more willing to talk publicly about her faith. As a Christian mom, entrepreneur, REALTOR®, wife, and woman still figuring out what obedience and calling look like in everyday life, she’s no longer interested in separating faith from the rest of the conversation.

    Because motherhood, business, marriage, parenting, money, career, ambition, and faith don't exist in separate boxes.

    If you're a working mom, Christian mom, woman entrepreneur, REALTOR®, business owner, or parent trying to balance family and career without losing yourself—or your faith—in the process, this episode is for you.

    Maybe you're questioning what success looks like now. Maybe you're navigating a career change, homeschooling or school decisions, burnout, motherhood, a new business season, or a calling that feels bigger than your current capacity. Or maybe you simply know the way you've been doing life isn't the way you want to keep doing it.

    This is the reset.

    Welcome back to Work Like A Mother—real conversations about motherhood, Christian faith, entrepreneurship, real estate, parenting, marriage, identity, purpose, and building a meaningful life without pretending to have it all figured out.

    📖 THE BOOK IS COMING

    Marina is currently writing The Hidden Deception: Raising Kids Who Don't Drift From Jesus, a book for Christian parents who want to intentionally disciple their children and build a faith that lasts beyond childhood.
