Welcome to Working Mom Moments, where we turn chaos into clarity and overwhelm into opportunity! I’m Lacy Jungman, corporate executive and mom of four boys. I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed with the mental load of being a working mom. I used to think constant exhaustion and stress were just part of the deal. But here’s the truth I discovered: getting stuck in that mindset was holding me back from creating the life I actually wanted. That’s exactly why I created this show. In this podcast, you will find: *Real-world solutions that actually work *Conversations with women at varying stages of working motherhood *Skills that apply both at home and at work *Time-saving strategies and motivation for the hard days *A roadmap to mindset transformation While raising our boys alongside my husband, I’ve held various individual contributor and executive roles in both startup and corporate environments. I’ve juggled many scenarios you might be facing. Being a working mom is hard. At times I have felt like I had it all together and other times, I felt like I was letting everyone down. I finally realized I needed to shift my mindset and the lens through 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 who supported me. This show will help you do just that! Whether you’re looking to maximize your time, transform your mindset, or finally find that sweet spot between career ambition and family life – we’ve got you covered.

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!

Between kids needs and activities, finding people to lean on can seem like an insurmountable task you just don’t have time for. But on today’s episode, you’ll hear from my guest Michelle Pecak, as she explains how we’re too busy NOT to have a tribe and a village to lean on - and how networking can create unexpected joy and friendships.

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!
