Today, I’m joined by Mallory Young, a working mom of 2 and a graduate of the Ambitious and Balanced group coaching program - who gives us an honest, behind-the-scenes look at her transformation. From feeling like she was failing at everything to stepping into a new leadership role with confidence and clarity, Mallory shares how she shifted her mindset, mastered the work-to-home transition, and finally started living a life that feels sustainable. If you’ve been curious what actually happens inside the program (or wondering if it could help you), this is the episode you don’t want to miss.  

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the hardest summers I've ever had as a working mom and how I’m doing it differently this year. I’m sharing the real mindset traps that made last summer feel like a chaotic mess, the big mistakes I made trying to make everyone happy, and the intentional shifts I’m making to create a summer that's actually fun, fulfilling, and calm. If summer usually feels like a stress marathon for you, you do not want to miss this one.  

What if the constant tug of war between your work and your family isn't actually a problem, but a sign that you're doing something right? In today's episode, I'm challenging the belief that your priorities are always in competition and offering a powerful reframe that just might change the way you think about your entire working mom life. Because maybe, just maybe, having multiple priorities is actually a gift. Let's talk about what it really means to live a full life as a working mom and how to stop feeling guilty for wanting more than just one good thing. Are you ready? Let's get to it.  

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I sit down with my brilliant friend and executive coach, Stacy Mayer, to unpack exactly what it takes to get promoted in 2025. If you’re dreaming about that next leadership role, even with today’s job market feeling messy - you need to hear this. We talk candidly about the real strategies that get women into the C-suite, the power of second-degree connections, and why interviews are more about energy and authenticity than ever before. Oh, and the idea of turning your job search into play? Game-changer. You’ll walk away feeling empowered, strategic, and 100% ready to own your career. 

Today, we’re digging into the real reason you feel so out of balance - and no, it’s not just your calendar. I’m talking about overwhelm: what it really is, how it hijacks your body, and the two ways women typically respond to it. I’ll help you figure out which one you are and walk you through how to stop the cycle in the moment. Plus, I’m sharing a super practical tool that takes just 10 minutes a day and has helped tons of working moms go from frazzled to focused. If you’re tired of the burnout hamster wheel, this episode is a must-listen.

This episode will inspire you to ditch the guilt, stop "should-ing" on yourself, and instead create your own "Successful Mom Criteria" that actually aligns with your values. Trust me, this is one you'll want to listen to if you've ever felt like you're failing for not doing enough. 

In this week’s episode, we’re tackling the 5 biggest myths about work-life balance that are keeping you stuck in stress and overwhelm. You might think you need more time, that you should be able to handle everything on your own, or that your situation is just different—but these beliefs are exactly what’s holding you back. I’ll walk you through these myths, why they feel so real, and how to break free from them to create a life that actually feels balanced. You ready? Let’s get to it! 

Today we're tackling something that so many of us struggle with - negative self-talk. You might think that inner critic has been the key to your success, pushing you to achieve, get things done, and stay on top of everything.
