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?

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!

The research is in...and the number one thing working moms want is FLEXIBILITY!
Today's episode is part one of a two part series, where we’re taking a deep dive into what women - especially working moms - want in a career. The most recent reports, studies and surveys all point to the common denominator of flexibility being the critical component needed for working moms to achieve personal success and professional growth.
I am bringing the data, statistics and most recent research to back up these claims - including findings from my own recent survey with nearly 200 working moms. Let’s get ready to crunch some numbers!

Life doesn't always go the way we plan it...especially when kids are involved. They have their own agenda, timelines and priorities.
When stress causes you to snap, how do you reset?
In this episode, we're going to talk about stress! We all have it, but we don't always talk about it. As working moms, we're pulled in a variety of different angles. But sometimes it's easier to talk about the beautiful parts of motherhood than the raw and real. Yet, the not-so-pinterest-worthy moments are where we find the support we need and the strength to move forward.
In today's show, you'll find three steps to resetting after losing your cool. You're not alone, and it happens to all of us. Take control of what you do next, to set yourself up for a better situation next time!

As babies and toddlers, our kids depend on us for everything. From providing food to carrying them around on our hip, our role as a mother is heavily invested in doing so many things for our kids. Before we realize it, though, these babies grow up, and there's a world of opportunity to begin letting them take the lead in certain areas that can reduce our stress and workload at home.
In today's episode, we're talking about the concept of transitioning from "living for our kids" to "living with them" - and experiencing life together. This shift of our mindset, particularly for working moms, can free us from obligations that aren't always necessary as children grow older and need to explore a new level of independence.The concept of living with our children, can begin to free you from working mom guilt we often feel. It can reduce the workload at home and subsequently, some of the stress as well.
If you're ready to get more quality time with kids and feel even a hint of less stress....you won't want to miss this episode!
