136. Mindset Reset: Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail - Planning that Work Trip for Working Moms

Hi mamas!
This working mom is headed to Cincinnati for work next week, which is the inspiration to this week’s topic… how to prepare for a work trip as a working mom and we're starting with breaking down this week's quote: "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." by Benjamin Franklin.
💖 My my challenge for you this week mamas, is to take some time to create your very own work trip checklist. Break it down into three sections—family prep, work prep, and self-care prep. Under each section, write down specific things you need to do to prepare yourself and your family for your upcoming work trip.
I'd love to hear what’s the next trip you have planned… head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it so we can help you prepare and so that you can help inspire other moms, just like you. If you don't already follow the show, take a second and hit that follow button.

133. Mindset Reset: Your Body CAN Do It! Finding Time For Fitness In Your Day As A Working Mom

Hi mamas!
In this episode, we continue our deep dive into overcoming mom guilt and creating time for self-care. This week, we're focusing on fitness—a priority that often gets pushed to the bottom of our to-do lists. If you’ve ever told yourself you don’t have the time or energy for exercise, you’re not alone. I’ve been guilty of it, too. But today’s quote, “Your body can do it, it’s time to convince your mind,” is a powerful reminder that the real challenge isn’t your schedule—it’s your mindset.
Join me as I share tips on how to shift your perspective and start fitting fitness into your life, even if it’s just for 10 minutes a day. I’ll discuss the importance of letting go of perfection, acknowledging mom guilt, and focusing on what you can do.
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is… Work on convincing your mind that you CAN do it. Commit to a micro-goal. Start with something small but consistent and spend some time visualizing your success… like fitting into those jeans again!
I'd love to hear what micro goal that you picked head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it so we can help keep you accountable and so that you can help inspire other moms, just like you.

131. The Power Of Saying No: Why Working Moms Need Boundaries

Hi mamas!
As working moms it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by everything on your plate, all the things that you said “yes”… all those things that if you just had better boundaries in place, would just make your life a lot easier! In this episode, we deep dive into today’s quote “You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.”  We discuss why working moms don’t need to sacrifice their well-being to keep others happy.
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is… take one small step towards protecting your energy. I want you to set that one boundary, whether it's at work or at home and stick to it, it doesn't have to be a massive change. Just something that lets you reclaim a little bit of your time and your energy.
I'd love to hear that boundary that you picked head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it so we can help keep you accountable and so that you can help inspire other moms, just like you.
