Motherhood and business can both be holy and hard.  I often feel the very real tension between deeply caring about and wanting multiple things in the same season, and also butting up against my capacity and things outside my control. This episode is a love letter to every mom. 

I share the behind-the-scenes of a recent emotional upheaval moment where I decided to in real and raw time share the shame, embarrassment, and trying so freaking hard to be able to “hold it all,” the frustration of doing everything right but still feeling off, and the deep relief that came when I stopped trying to fix and started to feel.

We talk about the mental and emotional weight of leadership, emotional regulation, and why success can’t just be measured in numbers when your body, babies, and business are all changing at once.

Themes:
• High-functioning burnout in motherhood
• Emotional capacity as the real metric of success
• Shame, comparison, and the myth of balance and even success
• The relief of being witnessed instead of managed
• Finding steadiness in a tender, full season

Come for the honesty. Stay for the exhale.
