51. Embracing Change: Working Mom Moments Returns!

Working Mom Moments is baaaaack!!
In our last episode, we talked about the importance of pausing and pivoting. In today's episode, we expand more on this topic and dive into the impact of change. 
Change can be hard and it can be painful. But there are unexpected gifts that can come from change if we are open to looking at our situations differently.
Through my own frustrations with change shared on this episode, I was able to find clarity and a little corner of peace.
In upcoming shows, we'll spend time with working moms who are juggling career and motherhood...and their perspectives, tips and techniques that we can all learn from. 
I'm looking forward to learning and growing together as a working mom community!

50. Living Your Dreams and Focusing on Your Priorities. Recognizing When to Pause and When to Pivot

As a working mom, it’s easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of commitments and obligations. From professional responsibilities to personal goals, we often find ourselves juggling an endless list of tasks.
In the midst of the chaos, it’s important to recognize the importance of pausing, reflecting, and reprioritizing. Sometimes in our careers we take a step back, while other times we take a huge leap forward. Similarly, as our children grow, we find ourselves in phases where we can lean into our career because of their independence and other times when they simply need more time and energy from us.
Through it all, though, remember why you started. What was your dream? The one that gets you energized and out of bed thinking about? Don't lose sight of your dream...even if you need to hit pause for a moment.
I am living proof that pause does not coincide with failure. A pause in life doesn't have to be goodbye or a pivot, it can simply be a holding place. 
Thank you, truly, for letting me be part of your working mom journey this past year. It's time for me to hit pause on an area of life, to focus on others. You have been the best community and I look forward to coming back on air to connect with you in the future.
Don't Quit Your Daydream.

49. Why is it so Hard to Ask for Help?

The Silent Struggle: Why Working Moms Hesitate to Ask for Help
In today's fast-paced, achievement-oriented society, working moms face a unique and often overwhelming set of challenges. Juggling careers, households, parenting, and personal ambitions requires an extraordinary level of dedication and resilience. Despite all of the concentrated efforts, many find it difficult to ask for help. This reluctance is often rooted in a complex interplay of societal expectations, internalized beliefs, and practical concerns.
The reality of asking for help is often vastly different from our internal fears and assumptions about how others will perceive us. This discrepancy can be understood through a phenomenon known as the "Spotlight Effect" and also relates to concepts like "Impostor Syndrome."
Working moms might feel that asking for help will expose them as inadequate or unfit for their roles, even if this is far from the truth. They might believe others will see them as failing to meet their responsibilities, while in reality, others might see them as strong for recognizing and addressing their needs.
Ready to grow past the difficulty of asking for help? Let's dive in!

48. When Boundaries Aren't Enough & You Can't Keep Up

You put boundaries in place to protect your time and priorities...but why does it seem like you're living in hustle culture, treading water and barely keeping up? Weren't those boundaries to keep us from getting to this pace of life in the first place?
If you're anything like me, you think you're coming at life from a strategic perspective where you're making decisions that are best for your time and family. But more often than not, we find small pockets of decisions that need to be made that can compromise the well intended parameters. Before we know it, we're living life in a dead-out sprint rather than a sustainable jog. 
We're frustrated, overwhelmed and feeling like the busyness is getting the better of us. 
If this sounds like you, know that you're in good company. We all start out with great intentions, but somewhere between decision and action...we can easily get diverted. If you're living life in the fast lane even though you've set your boundaries...this episode is for you.
Let's dive in!
