231. The Best Things in Life Aren’t Things: A Summer Vacation Mindset Reset for Working Moms

Hey mama,
This week’s Monday Mindset is for anyone who’s ever lost themselves in the packing lists, matching outfits, and never-ending to-dos… and needed a gentle reminder that the real magic isn’t in the plan…it’s in the moment.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a personal story as I prepare for a meaningful trip to Ireland with my family... celebrating my mama’s 80th birthday, reconnecting with family across the globe, and showing my kids the beauty of their heritage. And it’s all wrapped around one powerful quote:
“The best things in life aren’t things—they’re moments.”
So whether you’re headed out on a big trip or simply soaking up summer from your backyard, this is your permission slip to slow down and be present.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:✔️ Why perfection can steal your joy… and what to do instead✔️ The emotional power of simple, everyday moments✔️ How to ground yourself in gratitude during family travel✔️ A mindset shift to help you release the pressure to “do it all”✔️ My challenge to you for creating sacred, connected memories this summer
💖 This Week’s Mindset ChallengeChoose one moment each day this week to be fully present…with no distractions.That means no phones, no multitasking, no mental grocery lists.Just you, your people, and the moment that matters.Dance in the kitchen. Laugh till you snort. Sip your coffee and breathe it all in.
Then, if you feel inspired, come share it in our Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms so we can celebrate those everyday wins with you!
✨Because mama… your kids won’t remember the brand of luggage.They’ll remember the giggles, the mess, the love, the way you looked them in the eyes and made them feel seen. The best souvenirs are the ones that don’t fit in a suitcase.

229. MMM Feeling Behind on Your Goals: Here’s the Mid-Year Pep Talk You Need

Hi Mamas,
This week, we’re talking about something that’s super important… your mid-year check-in.
Because let’s be real: this is the time of year when a lot of moms quietly give up on their goals.We start the year with energy and intention… shiny planners, inspiring Pinterest boards, and big dreams.But then? Life. Starts. Life-ing.
Deadlines pile up. School schedules explode. You fall behind on one goal, then another, and suddenly it feels easier to quit than to keep going.
But here’s your reminder, mama:You don’t need a new year to start over. You just need a pause to realign. 💛
💭 This Week’s Quote:
“Small steps in the right direction can turn out to be the biggest steps of your life.” — Naeem Callaway
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about:
✔️ Why now is the perfect time for a mid-year reset✔️ How to check in with compassion instead of guilt✔️ Why your goals might still matter (even if they feel out of reach)✔️ What it means to recommit to one small step at a time✔️ The truth about progress (hint: it’s usually messy and imperfect)✔️ Why you don’t need hours of free time…you just need intentionality✔️ A gentle challenge to take one step forward this week… no matter how small
💖 This Week’s Challenge:
Choose one small step toward one of your goals. Just one.
➡️ Maybe it’s prepping healthy snacks so you skip the drive-thru.➡️ Maybe it’s blocking 15 minutes to work on your side hustle.➡️ Maybe it’s putting $10 into savings or canceling one subscription.➡️ Maybe it’s saying “no” to one thing that’s draining you so you can say “yes” to what matters.
Write it down. Set a reminder. Tell someone.And then do it.
That one small step? It might just be the beginning of something life-changing.
And when you take it? Come tell us inside our Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms  so we can celebrate with you. 🎉

228. Feeling Overwhelmed? 10 Real Tools to Quiet Anxiety and Worry As A Working Mom

Hi Mamas,
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of worry… running through worst-case scenarios at 2 a.m., struggling to stay present with your kids, or Googling symptoms you know you shouldn’t... this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a very personal health scare that brought anxiety to the forefront of my life in a way I hadn’t experienced before. From scary symptoms and MRIs to EEGs and the mental spiral that followed, I’m sharing it all with you… not for sympathy, but to say: you are not alone.
We’re walking through 10 powerful tools I used to break free from the anxiety spiral and reclaim my peace. These mindset and wellness practices are things I now use on the regular… and I promise they are doable, even in the middle of mom life chaos.
You’ll learn:✔️ How to use the 3-3-3 Rule to ground yourself in seconds✔️ What to ask yourself when worry shows up (and won’t back down)✔️ How to create a “Peace Plan” so you don’t spiral when anxiety hits✔️ Why journaling your fears can be a powerful truth-revealing tool✔️ How faith, prayer, and a deeper connection with God helped anchor me✔️ Why movement and music can reset your nervous system✔️ How to limit info overload and avoid the Google spiral✔️ Why gratitude is more than a buzzword… it’s a brain reset✔️ Why talking to someone safe can bring major relief✔️ The daily breathwork trick I swear by to calm my anxious thoughts
Plus, I’m giving you permission (in case you needed it) to create boundaries around your time, energy, and commitments… because worry thrives when we’re stretched too thin.
This episode is honest, heartfelt, and packed with encouragement and practical steps for any mama who’s ever felt overwhelmed by worry. You deserve calm. You deserve clarity. You deserve to live fully in the moment.

227. Mindset Reset: Worry Steals Today's Peace! Let's Take It Back!

Hi Mamas,
This week, we’re starting with a deep truth bomb:
“Worry does not take away tomorrow’s troubles—it takes away today’s peace.”
Let’s be real—we’ve all been there. Tossing and turning at 2 a.m., spiraling through every what if like it's your full-time job. Worry can feel like a form of control… but spoiler alert: it’s not. It’s your nervous system waving a giant “Danger!” flag—even when things are okay.
In this mindset drop, I’m breaking down:
✔️ Why worry feels productive (but actually hijacks your peace)✔️ What I’ve been personally walking through that brought this lesson front and center✔️ The mindset tools I used to come back to calm when I didn’t have clarity yet✔️ Why worry isn’t your to-do list, your intuition, or your job✔️ How to ground yourself in the present—even if life is still messy and uncertain
And heads up—tomorrow I’m sharing the full story of what I’ve been going through behind the scenes… a deeply personal episode that might just help you feel a little less alone in your own hard moment. So make sure you’re following the show so you don’t miss it.
💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge:
Take a breath and write down one worry that’s been playing on repeat like a bad pop song.Then ask yourself:
Is this something I can control right now?
Is this worry helping me—or hurting me?
What can I do today to come back to peace?
Maybe it’s putting your phone down.Maybe it’s a walk, a prayer, a journal session…Or maybe it’s just unclenching your jaw and reminding yourself:“I am safe. I am present. I am enough.”
📣 Want extra credit? Share your reflection inside our Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms  let’s support each other in choosing peace over panic this week.

225. Mindset Reset: The Trick To Saying No Without The Guilt As A Working Mom

Hi Mamas,
If you’ve ever found yourself reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time—while RSVP-ing “sure, I’ll bake 48 gluten-free, dairy-free, unicorn-shaped cupcakes”… today’s episode is for you.
We’re diving into Paulo Coelho’s reminder:
“When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.”
Because every yes comes with an invoice… paid in sleep, sanity, or that bedtime snuggle you promised your kiddo. This week, I’m handing you a tiny, mighty tool called The Empowered Pause so you can protect your time like your toddler guards the last sprinkle donut.
In this pep-talk:
✔️ Why defaulting to yes bankrupts your energy account✔️ The 3-step Empowered Pause (breathe… scan… ask) that keeps guilt in its lane✔️ How modeling healthy limits teaches our kids that they don’t have to do it all✔️ Real-life boundary scripts you can swipe (straight from my Boundaries Made Simple freebie)✔️ The truth about “good moms do everything” … and why that voice needs an exit pass
💖 This Week’s Challenge: Run a “Yes Audit”
Brain-dump every commitment for the next two weeks—work, home, PTA, car-pool, dog-sitting Aunt Linda’s chinchilla…
Color-code:
Green… fuels you or aligns with top priorities
Yellow… neutral, could delegate
Red… drains you or clashes with your values
Take action: Keep the greens… renegotiate or pass off the yellows… and lovingly release at least one red by Friday. Need wording bravery? Grab a script from Boundaries Made Simple or pop into our FB community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms and let’s workshop it together.
Remember: Every intentional no is a louder yes to the life you’re building. 🚦

223. Mindset Reset: Children Spell Love T-I-M-E: 10-Minute Connection Hacks for Busy Working Moms

Hey mama,
This week’s Monday Mindset is such an important one… especially if you’ve been feeling like you’re doing all the things but still missing real connection with your kids.
We’re kicking off the week with this quote by Dr. A. Whitham:“Children spell love… T-I-M-E.”
In this episode, I’m sharing how small, intentional moments of presence… even just 10 minutes a day… can completely shift your relationship with your child. Because it’s not about elaborate plans or carving out hours you don’t have. It’s about putting your phone down, tuning into the moment, and being truly present…even in the chaos.
Here’s what I’m talking about:✔️ Why quality time doesn’t have to mean “a lot of time”✔️ How to create meaningful micro-moments (that fit into your real life)✔️ My favorite connection rituals… from sock-sorting chats to bedtime “rose and thorn”✔️ Why your full attention… even for 10 minutes… can fill your child’s emotional tank✔️ A mindset shift that helps you ditch the guilt and show up with intention
💖 This week’s challenge:Pick one moment each day this week to be fully present with your child.Put the phone away. Quiet the mental checklist. Just be there.Ask about their day. Share a story. Snuggle up. Shoot hoops. Play Uno.Give them your full attention for 10 minutes and watch what happens.✨ Then at the end of the week, reflect:How did it feel? What did you notice? How did they respond?
And if you’re feeling brave, I’d love for you to come share your favorite moment inside our Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms. Your story might inspire another mom to do the same. 💛
📱 Also… if screen time is one of your biggest distractions (been there!), grab my FREE Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide!  to help you create more space for connection. It’s simple, doable, and 100% judgment-free.
💛 If this episode spoke to your mama heart, do me a favor and tap that follow button so you never miss a mindset reset. And if you’ve got a friend who needs this reminder too? Send it her way. Let’s make this a summer of sacred moments.
