Working Mom Moments | Work Life Balance, Energy, Stress, Career, Time Management, Mom Guilt
Are you struggling to find a better work life balance? Do you feel overwhelmed with the mental load of being a working mom? Want more time for rest and time for yourself? Would you like to finally find peace as a working mom without shame and guilt? Are you ready to create the life you want as a working mom? I’m so excited you’re here! This podcast will help you own your schedule, be more present at home, increase career fulfillment, reduce guilt and stress - and create time for you. Hey there, I’m Lacy. As a working mom of four boys, a wife and career executive, I know the stress that comes with pursuing a career in tandem with motherhood. While raising our crew alongside my husband, I held a variety of individual contributor and executive roles in both startup and corporate environments. Being a working mom is hard. At times I felt like I had it all together and other times, I felt like I was letting everyone down. I found myself chasing perfection and the elusive work life balance we’ve been conditioned to pursue. I was treading water and felt like I was letting everyone down. I finally realized I needed to shift my mindset and the lens with which I viewed my relationship with work and motherhood. To do this, I had to get clarity on several aspects of life and surround myself with people that supported me. I needed to recognize the moments - both good and frustrating - that made me who I am and shake the guilt that comes with perfectionism. In essence, I needed to get unstuck in order to create a life I truly enjoyed at home and at work. In this podcast, you will find time saving solutions, motivation for the hard days, and a roadmap to mindset transformation. I’m honored to share many of these reflection points and introduce you to some amazing working moms who will impart their perspectives, all while having some fun along the way! If you’re ready to thrive as a working mom, creating flexibility and the life you’ve always dreamed of, you’re in the right place!

It's time to get real about your time. So often, we are upholding obligations and priorities of other people without much consideration to their impact on our own schedules. We carry the expectations of others or what we think we "should" be doing as working moms...and before we know it, we're spending time in areas we never would have chosen.
In today's episode, we're talking through how you can identify opportunities to shed others' priorities and expectations in order to get more time back in your day. I'll also be sharing one of my favorite methods that can help you analyze just where your time is being spent in order to dig into the "why".
If you're ready to take control of your schedule and own your time - this episode is for you!

Have you ever told yourself....
If I wear the right clothes, I'll be taken seriously?
Or
If I work a certain way, I'll finally get that promotion?
Or
If I do all the things as a mom, I'll be a great mom?
We tell ourselves a lot of stories, but rarely do we consider what we'd do if there were no expectations, pressures or judgement being placed on us.
Who are you as a working mom outside of everyone else's expectations? It's an important question to ask...and one we're diving into on today's episode. Time to get real with who you are as a working mom and what you truly want.
Let's dive in!

One of the most common sources of guilt for working moms is missing our children's activities due to work commitments.
I have missed games and practices...and soon to be a band concert. I'm not a perfect mom by any means, but these moments don't make me a bad one. And they don't make you a terrible mother either!
In today's episode, we'll delve into the roots of this guilt, offer a more realistic perspective, and explore the positive aspects of these situations along with strategies to overcome the accompanying guilt.

With so many projects, activities and events on our calendars...it's hard to find time for ourselves. In today's episode, I'm diving into the number one thing you need in order to create a highly effective routine. But I'll warn you...it's not what you think.
I'm a firm believer that progress is better than perfection, and living in the grey is better than black and white thinking. It's why I believe in blending over balancing.
One great way to do that, is to approach our schedules and routines with moderation. More specifically, to approach it from an 80/20 lens.
Curious how that can set you up for success? Wonder no longer! Hit play and let's dig into this theory, and its application to working moms, now!

We've come a long ways, and still have far to go. But each milestone deserves a celebration, for we are creating a new version of work life balance for future generations of working moms.

Today's episode is focused on HOW to get more time for yourself. Motivation is the spark that gets us going, habits keep us consistent and moving forward...but then life throws curveballs at us and everything seems to fall apart.
At the end of the day, discipline is what makes sure we uphold our promise to ourselves for self-care. So, one could make the argument that discipline = self-care. And, in fact, on today's show...I do make that argument!
Regardless of how you define self-care, if you're not disciplined to follow through, your promise to yourself will fall through and your priorities will once again get out of order.
Join me on this journey as we discuss the importance of discipline in our approach to self-care.

Work Life Balance. We've all heard the term, and many of us are on the search for it. We actively seek out jobs and routines that help us find more balance in our lives between work and family.
But there's a drawback to the concept of work life balance, and that is how quickly it leads us to compartmentalizing and black and white thinking.
Work life balance is subjective and difficult to quantify, making it that much harder to achieve. What's more, even when we do get to this equilibrium, the teeter totter doesn't stay steady for long. When we get out of balance, we can often feel like failures. Again...black and white thinking.
In today's episode, I explain a new concept: Work Life Blend. A more complete and attainable approach to juggling the duality of work and motherhood. One that removes the black and white thinking and sets up working moms for success.
Ready to finally get more out of your life and embrace Work Life BLEND? If you're ready to create the work life blend you've always dreamed of, I'm here for you! Grab time on my calendar for coaching here.
