Have you ever caught yourself spiraling in thoughts that seem to go absolutely nowhere? You know what I mean—those moments when your brain is running a marathon, but you're stuck at the starting line, feeling overwhelmed and unsure. One minute, you're thinking about something small, like forgetting to send an email, and the next thing you know, you've convinced yourself that your entire week is ruined. This, my friends, is what we call "mind drama." When we typically talk about drama, we often p...

Have you ever really thought about whether your job defines who you are—or if it’s just one part of your life? It’s not something we usually stop to think about, but it’s a big question, isn’t it? We spend so much of our time working that it’s easy to feel like our jobs are a huge part of our identity. But here’s the thing—are they really all there is to us? Picture this for a second: if your job title disappeared tomorrow, who would you be? Would you feel lost, like a piece of you was missing? ...

Do you ever wake up and find your mind already running at full speed? Before you’ve even had your first sip of coffee, you’re already thinking about a million different things. It’s like your brain hits the ground running the moment your eyes open. These early morning thoughts can set the tone for your entire day, whether you realize it or not. We all have those mornings where, as soon as we wake up, our minds are flooded with worries, plans, or a running to-do list. Maybe you’re thinking about ...

Think about how often you’ve set a goal, like starting a new exercise routine or trying to eat healthier, only to find yourself slipping back into old patterns. It can feel frustrating, like you’re stuck in a loop, always wanting to improve but somehow ending up in the same place. This is something most of us experience at one time or another, and it’s not about lacking the motivation to change—it’s about understanding the natural resistance that comes with trying to shift our habits. So why is ...

When you think about your daily habits, how many of them truly support the life you want? Many of us fall into patterns—rushing through the day, juggling work, family, and responsibilities—without stopping to consider whether those habits are actually helping us achieve the balance we’re after. We get so used to running on autopilot, focused on getting things done, that we rarely take a step back to ask if the way we’re living is aligned with what we really want. So the question then is - is the...

Think about it. How many times have you replayed a situation in your mind, wishing you could have done something differently? How many times have you felt stuck because of something that happened long ago? It’s like carrying around a heavy backpack filled with old, unnecessary things that only slow you down. And yet, many of us keep lugging it around, believing we have no choice. But we do have a choice. Recognizing that the past is only one chapter in your story, you can choose to focus on the ...

We all have things that matter deeply to us—our health, our relationships, our personal growth—but when we’re overwhelmed by our to-do lists, those things can easily get pushed to the side. It’s like trying to water a garden but only focusing on the weeds. The flowers, the things that actually bring beauty and value to our lives, get neglected. That’s where priorities come in. Setting priorities is like deciding which flowers in your garden need the most care and attention. When you know what’s ...

Have you ever had a day when someone’s words or actions left you feeling completely off balance like your entire mood was suddenly out of your control? Or maybe you’ve found yourself stuck in a cycle of frustration and disappointment, wondering why certain situations always seem to trigger the same negative emotions. What if the key to breaking free from these patterns wasn’t about changing other people but about changing something within yourself? How would things be different if you could feel...

Jealousy is one of those emotions that can sneak up on us, leaving us feeling insecure or like we’re not enough. As working moms, we already have so much on our plates, so it's even easier to fall into that trap of comparing ourselves to others who seem to have it all together. But here's something important to remember: jealousy is a completely normal feeling. It doesn’t define who we are. In fact, it’s more like a little signal telling us what we really want deep down. And it’s totally okay to...

As working moms, we often face a unique blend of expectations and judgments, both from others and from ourselves. We juggle career demands, family responsibilities, and personal aspirations, all while trying to meet a set of standards that sometimes feel impossible. It’s easy to get caught up in what others think about how we manage everything, from our parenting styles to our career choices. Take a moment and think about how often you’ve asked yourself questions like, “Will they think I’m a goo...

Do you struggle with setting boundaries and sticking to them? You’re not alone! This is a topic that many working moms find challenging - how to set and stick to boundaries. The thing is, we often have this misconception that boundaries are about telling people what they can or can't do. In reality, boundaries are more about what you need to do than what others need to stop or start doing. In other words, boundaries are less about changing someone else's behavior and more about defining how you ...

I was looking back at some of the things I’ve talked about on the podcast, and I realized there are a few topics that could really use a revisit. Especially the ones I covered early on, the ones that made a huge difference in my life and my coaching clients' lives. That’s why I decided to bring back the concept of “The Manual.” This concept has literally been a game-changer in every single area of our lives and whether you've heard me talk about it before or not, it's still one of the most impor...

Have you ever noticed how the questions you ask yourself can shape your entire day? It’s true! From the moment we wake up, we’re constantly asking ourselves questions, whether we realize it or not. The problem is that we’re asking very disempowering questions without realizing it. For example, questions like “Why is this so hard?” or “Why aren’t there more hours in the day?” are just a few of the disempowering questions we ask ourselves. On the flip side, empowering questions can be a game-chang...

Although fear is very common, the truth is that a lot of us think about fear in the wrong way. We often see it as a valid reason to stop in our tracks. We say things like, "I'm scared, so I can't do this." But here’s the thing - fear is often just a sign that our minds aren’t being managed. In other words, it’s the primitive part of our brain that’s taken over, not the higher, executive functioning part. That's why it’s important to understand that fear doesn’t need to be a stop sign; it can be ...

This week I want to talk about something many accountant moms experience: your spouse might not really get what it’s like to be an accountant. They know you work hard, but they might not fully understand what your job really involves. Maybe they see you sitting at your desk, typing away at spreadsheets, or taking calls from clients, but they don’t realize just how much pressure you’re under. They might not know about the tight deadlines, the need to be super accurate, or how draining it can be w...

One of the biggest challenges we face as working moms is the fear of being perceived as less committed or less capable because of our parenting responsibilities. This fear can often lead to under-communication, where we might hesitate to speak up about our needs or difficulties. But here's the thing: not communicating these needs doesn't make them go away. Instead, it can lead to increased stress, burnout, and even resentment. On the other hand, clear and proactive communication can pave the way...

As a working mom, mornings can often be the bane of our existence, especially when we have young ones. From getting the kids ready for school to preparing for a day full of accounting work, the morning hours can sometimes seem more like a chaotic race than a peaceful start to the day. We've all been there—rushing through breakfast, hunting for missing shoes, and mentally juggling the day's to-do list before we've even had our first cup of coffee. But what if there was a way to transform this hec...

In today’s world, the traditional family setup is changing fast. More women are stepping up as the main earners in their families, balancing demanding jobs with family responsibilities. The truth is that being a breadwinning mom is a journey filled with both challenges and rewards that change how we think about work, family, and personal fulfillment. Many women become the primary earners out of ambition, necessity, or a desire for financial independence. But whatever your reason, it can also be ...

As a working mom, you're most likely juggling responsibilities and striving to excel at work while ensuring your family gets the best of you. The daily grind can be overwhelming, and it's easy to get caught up in the stress and chaos, losing sight of the positive aspects of your life. But what if there was a way to shift your perspective, find joy in the midst of the hustle, and improve your overall well-being? That’s where the concept of radical gratitude comes in.

I’ve been talking to several working moms lately and have been interested in the things they’re doing that are making it difficult for them to live their best lives. They’ve been sharing what’s working and what isn’t, but they’re also seeing their life from “inside their box.” What I mean by this is that they can get so caught up in their daily routines and struggles that it's hard for them to see things objectively. It's like they're stuck in a "box" made up of their comfort zones, habits, soci...

Whether you’re currently in a leadership role, considering one, or aren’t sure, this episode will be incredibly helpful, especially because you’re going to be surprised at what I share about the most important thing. The truth is that being a leader isn't just about having a fancy job title or being able to get people to do what you need them to do. It’s actually less about others and more about ourselves. But, here’s what I really want you to understand - whether you’re a leader at work or not,...

For this episode, I decided to look at the most downloaded episodes. It was so much fun to go down memory lane and see which episodes resonated with you all the most. Once I had a list of the most popular episodes, I decided that listening to each episode was great, but if you don’t act on the information, it’s not as helpful as it could be. As I always tell my coaching clients, knowledge isn’t power; applied knowledge is power. So today, I want to help you apply what you learn in each episode b...

As working moms, we're no strangers to the struggle of balancing career, family, and personal life. Our days are packed from sunrise to sundown with meetings, deadlines, school runs, grocery shopping, meal prep – you name it. But here's the problem – despite our best efforts, many of us find ourselves falling short when it comes to managing our time effectively. We set ambitious goals, create color-coded schedules, and download every productivity app under the sun, only to end up feeling like we...

Transitioning from full-time to part-time work is a big decision for many working moms. It’s a choice that can bring numerous benefits but also comes with its own set of challenges. In our fast-paced world, balancing the demands of work and family life can feel like a juggling act. However, more and more moms are discovering that part-time work can be a great way to find that balance. Did you know that the number of part-time workers has been steadily increasing? According to the Bureau of Labor...

In the whirlwind of tax deadlines, soccer practice, and bedtime stories, it's easy to lose sight of our own goals and dreams when we’re dealing with the demands of everyday life. But here's the truth: you deserve to create and live your dream life. I understand that all your responsibilities can sometimes feel overwhelming. But amidst the chaos, there lies the opportunity to create the life you've always envisioned. For example, a life where you wake up each morning feeling excited and energized...

When you hear the word "ambition," what do you think of? It probably brings to mind images of unstoppable determination, a fierce drive, and the hunger to achieve big things. Ambition is seen as a great quality, something that pushes people to aim high and go after their dreams. But if we stop and picture ambitious individuals, how often do we imagine women in that role? The truth is that society has taught us to associate ambition more with men, suggesting that women belong more in supporting r...

See if this sounds familiar - you went to college for accounting, started an accounting career, and began your professional journey. Your days are filled with meetings, deadlines, and the satisfying sense of accomplishment that comes with excelling in your career. Then, you become a mom. Suddenly, your world shifts on its axis. Your days are no longer solely yours to command. They're now filled with diaper changes, midnight feedings, and the overwhelming responsibility of nurturing a tiny human ...

How many times have you found yourself in the middle of a chaotic morning routine, juggling breakfast, backpacks, and briefcases, thinking, "It shouldn't be this difficult"? Or maybe you've hit a snag at work, trying to meet a deadline while also coordinating pick-up times for soccer practice, and you're left wondering, "Why can't this be easier?" I get it; I’ve definitely been there, and chances are, so have many of you. As working moms, we often carry this unspoken expectation that things shou...

How many times have you wanted something – whether it's advancing in your career, finding more time for self-care, or achieving a better work-life balance – but never quite followed through? Wanting is easy. It's passive, comfortable, and safe. But it doesn't lead to results. It just leaves us stuck in a cycle of longing for something that never materializes. Committing, on the other hand, is where the magic happens. When you make a true commitment to something, you become laser-focused on the r...

It’s that time of year when it seems like our kids are involved in more extracurricular activities than ever, so I think it’s important to discuss balancing work with all the extra things going on. Between managing work deadlines, keeping the house from descending into chaos, and making sure the kids are fed, clothed, and (somewhat) civilized, it sometimes feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day. And as if that weren't enough, one more thing adds an extra layer of complexity to the ...
