In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise pulls back the curtain on what it really means to live authentically. She shares a personal story from a season when everything looked good on paper, but inside, she felt disconnected, out of alignment, and exhausted from keeping up the act.

You’ll hear:

- Why authenticity is key to building real trust in every relationship

- How pretending chips away at your confidence and connection

- What finally helped Denise stop performing and start living as her full self

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be “on” all the time or feared that being honest might rock the boat, this one’s for you. The truth might be uncomfortable, but it’s also where freedom begins.

In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, we sit down with Amy Hendrian, business owner & mom of three, for an honest and deeply relatable conversation about divorce, co-parenting, owning a business, and what it really means to be a full-time mom, with or without a parenting contract.

As working moms, it’s easy to let our minds race years into the future- wondering how our kids will turn out, questioning if our full plates will leave them feeling full or forgotten. In this heart-centered and hope-filled episode, Denise sits down with Mackenzie Jacobson, a powerhouse in sales and leadership, who was raised by two working parents and credits much of her confidence and success to the example they set. Together, they explore how working moms can stop second-guessing and start believing they’re doing better than they think. Mackenzie shares the lessons her parents passed down, the truth about confidence at work, and how she supports her mom friends through the beautiful chaos of motherhood. She also opens up about what she’d tell her mom as a young working woman, and what she hopes this generation of moms can finally believe about themselves. This episode is full of warmth, wisdom, and perspective for every mom who's ever wondered, “Am I getting this right?” The answer is an absolute, “Yes.”

In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise talks about something most of us never stop to define: what’s actually enough. Enough money, enough time, enough progress. Without a clear definition, we end up measuring success by someone else’s standards and potentially might never feel like we’re hitting the mark. But when you decide what’s enough, you unlock peace, confidence, and a true sense of accomplishment. Let’s talk about how to define your own metrics of success, financially, emotionally, and personally, so you can stop striving and start living.
