Hi Mamas, Today we're diving into one of the heaviest things working moms carry… unforgiven hurt. Not the kind that comes after an apology. Nope. We're talking about the kind that sits quietly in your chest, weighs down… especially around the holidays, and follows you into your mornings like an overstuffed emotional diaper bag. This episode walks you through the real work of forgiving people who never said “I'm sorry,” forgiving the friendships that broke your heart, forgiving family who didn't show up, forgiving yourself for what you didn't know then… and even forgiving the pieces of life that didn't go as planned.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset episode dives into the real meaning of forgiveness… and why it's something we do for ourselves, not for the other person. Our inspiration comes from Maya Angelou's quote, “Forgiveness is not something we do for others. We do it for ourselves, to get well and move on.”

Hi mama, f you've ever stared at that blank self-review form and thought, “Where do I even start?” …this one's for you. In this episode, we're breaking down how to write a year-end review that showcases your wins, your growth, and your true value at work. Because let's be honest… reviews don't exactly scream “fun.” They land right when we're juggling projects, holiday chaos, and life. But your year-end review isn't just corporate homework… it's your highlight reel. It's your chance to remind your boss exactly how much impact you've made this year. Here's what we're covering today: ✨ The mindset shift that turns your review from stressful to empowering ✨ How to write your accomplishments so they show measurable results ✨ The power of a “brag file” (and why your future self will thank you for it) ✨ How to use AI to align your wins with company goals (without sounding robotic) ✨ Confidence vs. arrogance… how to strike the right tone ✨ Simple ways to prep for your review meeting so you walk in ready to shine You'll walk away knowing how to: ✔️ Highlight your value clearly and confidently ✔️ Tie your work to company goals and outcomes ✔️ Advocate for yourself… without feeling like you're bragging ✔️ End the year proud of what you've accomplished And because we're all about reducing stress this time of year, don't forget to grab

Hi Mamas, Year-end review season is here, and while most of us can talk for days about what our kids accomplished, what our team achieved, or what everyone else did great this year… when it comes to our own wins? We freeze. We say things like: “I don't want to sound arrogant.” “I don't want to seem like I'm bragging.” “I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.” Sound familiar?

Hi mama, Today, we're tackling one of the universal challenges of motherhood… getting out of the house with little kids without losing your sanity. Remember those days when leaving for a “quick errand” required 47 steps, two outfit changes, and a miracle? This one's for you. As the holidays approach, errands multiply faster than the glitter in your living room. Between shopping, concerts, cookie swaps, and school events, it's a lot. But here's the thing: with a few intentional systems and mindset shifts, you can make it easier… and dare I say, enjoyable. Inside This Episode, We'll Talk About: ✔️ How to simplify packing with a grab-and-go “mini bag” ✔️ The magic of “entertainment packs” for different ages ✔️ Snack strategies (because snacks = sanity) ✔️ The “load the car first” trick every mom needs to know ✔️ Car kits, toy rules, and timing tips that make errands smoother ✔️ Mindset shifts that help you laugh through the chaos instead of crying through it Because here's the truth… some days will still be messy. Someone will spill, cry, or refuse to bend their legs into the car seat (we've all been there). But with a plan, a snack stash, and a sense of humor, you can survive even the most chaotic Target run. And mama, if the holiday season has you juggling lists, shopping, and school events, grab my

Hi Mamas, Today's episode is a gentle reminder to slow down and breathe… because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is just handle this moment.

Hi mama, We're heading full steam into the holiday season… the cozy sweaters, the peppermint lattes, the twinkly lights… and with it comes the reminder that this season is about more than gifts and glitter… it's about giving. And not just us as adults… but our kids, too. In today's episode, we're talking all about how to teach your kids to give back and simple ways to make generosity part of your family's holiday traditions. From painted pumpkins for seniors to kindness advent calendars and Elf Box donations, I'm sharing 12 heartfelt ways your family can spread cheer…and model compassion…without adding chaos to your already-full plate. Because mama, the holidays aren't about perfection. They're about presence. And when your kids see you giving back, they learn that the best gifts aren't the ones wrapped under the tree… they're the ones wrapped in kindness.

Hi Mamas, We're stepping into the cozy magic of the holiday season… the time for gratitude, giving, and a little extra grace (for others and ourselves). Between the chaos of school events, endless to-do lists, and “Who's bringing dessert?” group texts, it's easy to forget what this season is really about: kindness. This week, we're centering our hearts around this powerful quote from Anne Frank:

Hi Mamas, Ever notice how your mood can shift the whole energy in your home? One snippy email at work… one traffic jam… one long day…and suddenly everyone feels it. But what if you could catch those moments before they spiral? That's what today's episode is all about: self-awareness… the quiet superpower that helps you show up with more patience, presence, and peace. In this episode, Kerri gets real about her own wake-up call (spoiler: it involved her mom, sister, and a tough dose of honesty), and how that moment completely shifted how she approaches stress, work, marriage, and motherhood. You'll learn: ✨ What self-awareness really means (and what it's not) ✨ How to pause and check in with your emotions before they spill over ✨ Why “mirror moments” are the secret to stronger relationships ✨ How small shifts… like journaling, mindful transitions, and deep breathing… can change the tone of your entire day ✨ Why being self-aware makes you not just a better mom, but a happier one Kerri also shares her favorite real-life practices for catching negative energy before it spreads, plus how she's learning (in progress!) to bring more light into every room she walks into. Challenge of the Week: Pause once today and ask yourself: 1️⃣ How am I feeling right now? 2️⃣ How is this affecting how I'm showing up? 3️⃣ What's one small shift I can make in this moment? Then, write down what you notice. The goal isn't perfection… it's presence.

Hi Mamas, This week, we're diving deep into one of the most important skills every working mom can develop: self-awareness. Because real growth doesn't happen when you simply notice what's happening to you… it happens when you notice how you're showing up in it. We're breaking down this quote by  Maya Angelou… “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Inside This Episode, We'll Talk About: ✔️ How to give yourself grace for past mistakes and moments of overwhelm ✔️ Turning self-awareness into intentional action (without needing to be perfect) ✔️ Letting go of judgment… toward others and yourself ✔️ Real-life examples of “doing better” as a mom, wife, and professional ✔️ A mindset shift that turns guilt into growth

Hi Mamas, Let's be real… mom life can feel like a juggling act on roller skates… during an earthquake. Between work deadlines, family responsibilities, and that never-ending mental load, it's easy to forget what actually makes you feel good. In this episode, I'm sharing 10 simple things I've done lately that have made a big difference in my mood, my mindset, and my day-to-day life. From hiring a cleaning person to buying the bigger jeans (yep, we're going there), to rediscovering small joys like walking in silence or sipping coffee from my Magnolia mug… these real-life changes have helped me feel more calm, confident, and present. You don't need a total life overhaul, mama. You just need one small shift that helps you breathe easier, smile more, and remember you matter too.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset is a little reminder that your happiness isn't a luxury… it's fuel.

Hi Mama, Today's episode is all about one of my favorite time management strategies: the Power Hour.

Inside This Episode, We'll Talk About: ✔️ What a Power Hour is and why it works for moms ✔️ Different ways to structure your Power Hour depending on your season of life (morning, nap time, after bedtime, or in-between kids' activities) ✔️ Examples of how to use a Power Hour… for household management, work projects, passion projects, or even self-care ✔️ The 4 steps to making your Power Hour truly effective: pick your focus, remove distractions, set a timer, and celebrate the win ✔️ How to protect your Power Hour by setting boundaries and creating distraction-free focus  

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset Reset is anchored in a quote from Tony Robbins that hits especially hard as we close out the year:

Hi Mamas, This week's episode is for every working mom who's ever tried to enjoy dinner with her family while mentally rewriting an email or replaying a meeting in her head.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset Reset is anchored in a quote that every working mom needs as a reminder:

Hi Mamas, Today's episode is a little heavier, but it's one of the most important conversations we can have. After recently losing a dear friend, I've been reflecting deeply on the lessons loss teaches us. These are reminders we all need: to stop waiting, to live with intention, to savor the little things, and to love loudly and unapologetically. Loss shakes us awake. It reminds us that tomorrow isn't promised and the “perfect time” doesn't exist. So instead of waiting for someday, we need to live today. ✨ In this episode, I share 10 powerful lessons loss has taught me: Make your health a priority (yes, book the mammogram!) Save for tomorrow, but don't miss today Take the trip… big or small, it's always worth it Forgive quickly and set yourself free Say the words now: “I love you,” “I'm proud of you” Be present in the everyday moments Live with intention… align your calendar with your values Don't take people for granted… cherish your loved ones Dreams deserve action… start now, even messy Don't assume you have time… today is the gift This episode is dedicated to my beautiful friend Mare. Her light, love, and resilience are a reminder to live fully, laugh often, and love deeply.

Hi Mamas, Grab your FREE Ticket to the CEO Mom Breakthrough Summit here This week's Monday Mindset Reset is a tender one.

Hey mamas, Today we're flipping the script on one of the most overused (and misunderstood) phrases out there: work-life balance. For years, we've been told to picture balance like a scale… work on one side, life on the other, perfectly even. But here's the problem: that image sets us up for guilt, burnout, and disappointment. Because your job should never weigh the same as your entire life. In this episode, I share a fresh perspective I use with my coaching clients: balancing stones. Instead of a scale, picture those beautiful stacks of rocks you see at the beach or on a hike. Each stone is a different size and shape… some massive, some tiny. And yet, when carefully placed, they create something stable and beautiful. That's what balance actually looks like. Not equal weight, but intentional placement. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Why the traditional idea of work-life balance doesn't work (and what to do instead) ✨ How to identify your personal “stones”… the roles and values that matter most in your life ✨ Which stones belong at the foundation of your stack (hint: it's not work or house chores) ✨ Why health and self-care aren't selfish extras but essential stabilizers ✨ The small, everyday stones that bring the biggest joy and stability ✨ Three practical ways to keep your “stack” from wobbling or crashing down Episode Highlights: The Foundation Stone: Why family, health, and core values should anchor your life. The Big Stones: Work, marriage, spirituality, passions, and house maintenance… and how to keep them in their proper place. The Small Stones: Why little moments (like a walk, coffee with a teen, or a bedtime story) often bring the most stability. 3 Tips for Balance: Rebuild regularly, check your base, and accept the wobble. My Challenge for You: Grab a notebook and write down your stones. Which ones are the biggest? Which is your foundation? Where do you need to restack? Because balance isn't about perfection… it's about intention. And when you choose your stones with care, you can build a life that's stable, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

Hi Mamas, Grab your FREE Ticket to the CEO Mom Breakthrough Summit here This week's Monday Mindset Reset is inspired by a whirlwind of a week… but in the best way. I was asked to be a virtual guest speaker at the CEO Mom Breakthrough Summit… a space for moms who are chasing their dreams, building businesses, and still choosing to be present, intentional mamas. What an honor to be included! My contribution to the summit was a 30-minute workshop where I teach my Meal Planning Made Simple method. Which sounds simple… but behind the scenes it meant creating a workshop from scratch, building the presentation, recording, teaching myself to edit video for the first time, and submitting it on deadline… all while still working my corporate job, managing kids' activities, fitting in a date night with Russ, and keeping up with life. ✨ And here's the best part… you're invited! It's a free virtual event kicking off September 17th. Even if you're not chasing 7 figures, you'll still get incredible tips and freebies on how to manage all the moving parts of working mom life. Grab your free seat here. But this week wasn't just about cranking out a workshop… it was about navigating it all without losing my mind. Which brings me to today's quote from Jana Kingsford:

Hi Mamas, Are you tired of feeling like you're running a never-ending marathon between work, home, and family? The truth is… you don't have to do it all. In this week's episode, I'm walking you through 12 things you can start outsourcing right now to reclaim your time and sanity. Inside this episode, we cover: ✔️ How outsourcing grocery shopping & meal prep saves hours every week ✔️ Why hiring help for house cleaning, laundry, or errands isn't indulgent—it's smart ✔️ Creative, budget-friendly ways to swap childcare or delegate tasks to neighbors and teens ✔️ The game-changing power of financial coaching (and why I recommend Budget Besties!) ✔️ Little-known outsourcing ideas like pet care, home organization, and seasonal yard work Mama, outsourcing is not weakness… it's wisdom. Every time you let something go, you're saying my time matters, my energy matters, and I deserve to live a life that feels good, not just one that feels like survival.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset Reset is all about lightening the load you carry… and we're anchoring it with this powerful reminder:

Hey mamas, September is officially here! That means cozy sweaters, Friday night football games, pumpkin spice everything… and of course, calendars that fill faster than your kids' snack bowls after school. Between back-to-school chaos, busier work schedules, and all the seasonal extras (looking at you, permission slips and soccer gear), fall can feel like one giant juggling act. That's why in today's episode, I'm breaking down 9 practical, sanity-saving routines to help you feel more organized, less overwhelmed, and actually able to enjoy this season. We'll cover: The Weekly Planning Power Hour that keeps everyone on the same page Night-before prep that makes mornings smoother (and less shouty) A grounding morning routine that's just for YOU The after-school rhythm that cuts down on meltdowns and hangry chaos An evening reset that sets your tomorrow-self up for success A simple bedtime wind-down that helps everyone sleep better Sunday prep routines that stop the “we're missing a cleat” panic Realistic meal prep shortcuts (no 27 Tupperwares required!) The one self-care non-negotiable you need this season These aren't rigid, Pinterest-perfect systems. They're real-life routines that work for working moms who are juggling jobs, homes, kids, and everything in between. ✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode How to adjust your routines as seasons (and schedules) change Simple planning strategies to reduce mid-week stress and resentment Ways to create smoother mornings and calmer evenings Why meal prep doesn't have to be overwhelming How to build in non-negotiable self-care without guilt

Hi Mamas, This week, we're anchoring our Monday Mindset Reset with a quote from Darren Hardy that I think every working mom needs taped to her coffee maker:

Hey mamas, Today we're talking about a challenge so many remote-working moms face: How do you stay visible at work when you're not in the office? Because let's be real…there's that little voice that whispers, “What if they think I'm not working? Or What if they forget about me?” And in a world where your status turns yellow the second you step away, it's easy to feel like you have to stay chained to your desk all day just to prove your worth. Spoiler alert: That's not sustainable… and it's not the only way to get noticed. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨How to align with your manager's style so they trust your work ✨Strategic ways to over-communicate without adding noise ✨Why using your voice and face matters more than you think ✨The power of keeping a “done” list for reviews and recognition ✨How micro-connections build trust and opportunities ✨Staying active in team spaces without becoming “always on” ✨Smart ways to take initiative without burning out ✨How lifting others up increases your own visibility ✨Speaking up in meetings (even if you're not sure what to say) ✨Building relationships outside your department for career growth If you're ready to stop worrying about that “away” dot and start being recognized for the value you bring, this episode is your game plan.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset is for every working mom who's flying solo from a home office (that doubles as the laundry folding station)… or working behind the scenes in a role where your impact isn't always front and center. Because let's be real… when you're working from home, it can feel like you're doing all the things… producing, emailing, creating, planning, wrangling tiny humans, and reheating your coffee for the third time… and yet, sometimes it feels like no one notices. That's why we're anchoring this week's reset with one powerful quote by Porter Gale:

 Hey mama, Tired of running your household from your brain?

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset is for every working mom staring at a calendar that looks like a box of crayons exploded all over it… sports schedules, surprise school projects, last-minute permission slips, and the never-ending “Mama, what's for dinner?” loop. If your brain feels like it's running 47 tabs (and one of them is blasting mystery YouTube music you can't find)… you're not alone. This week, we're grounding ourselves in one simple but powerful reminder:

Hey mama, Can you believe it's already time to trade beach bags for backpacks and pool floats for planners? In today's episode, we're throwing it back to one of your favorite back-to-school episodes…with some brand-new bonus tips to help you start this school year with more calm, more confidence, and way less chaos. Whether you're navigating high school sports, picky eaters, or your first-ever teen driver (send help... and snacks), this episode is here to help you reset your routines and reclaim your rhythm.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset is for every mom bracing for the whirlwind of back-to-school season... the papers, the schedules, the sports practices, the 17 back-to-school emails… and the emotional rollercoaster of watching your babies grow up way too fast. Whether you're clinging to the last days of summer or counting down to routine and quiet coffee, this episode is your invitation to shift how you respond to change—with less resistance and more intention. We're anchoring this week's reset with one powerful Chinese proverb:

Hi Mamas, This week's episode is a little different... and a whole lot deeper. We're not talking hacks or checklists. We're talking about real life… the kind that makes you want to cry in your car, order takeout again, and wonder how on earth you're supposed to do it all. This one's about juggling. But not in the “look how productive I am” kind of way. In the real, raw, honest way… where your therapist has to remind you: “You're juggling a lot right now… but not every ball is made of glass.” Today, I'm sharing: ✔️ How to know what's a glass ball (fragile, important, long-term) ✔️ How to spot a rubber ball (urgent-feeling, but bounces just fine) ✔️ Questions to ask yourself when everything feels “important” ✔️ A behind-the-scenes look at how I've had to let some balls bounce (yes, even the podcast) ✔️ Why you are a glass ball...and what that means for your peace ✔️ How to give yourself full permission to stop doing it all...  and breathe instead This is the episode I needed…. and I hope it's the one you didn't know you needed, too.

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.

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.
