According to Forbes.com, 75% of U.S. women executives struggle with imposter syndrome. What about you? As a working mom, leader, career-driven professional, or entrepreneur, what do you struggle with? In this episode of Empowering the Working Mom Podcast, Latika Vines shares the three things working moms, most commonly, struggle with: Fear, Identity, and Uncertainty and how to overcome them by using the Biblical example of Sarah. If you are not familiar with Sarah, please read Genesis chapters 11 through 17; however, Latika shares a quick introduction of Sarah and the promise God gave her. Rather than wait on God, she allowed Perfectionism to distract her from waiting on God's promise to be fulfilled, thus leading her to have fear, identity, and uncertainty trap her into doing something she later regretted. Join Latika as she explores Sarah's story as a lesson to help us overcome fear, identity, and uncertainty issues so that you can achieve success without sacrifice. To meet with Latika to identify your priorities and discover how to overcome fear, identity, and uncertainty to achieve success, and align it to God's will, schedule a complimentary call HERE.

In the previous episode, it was encouraged to conduct an internal evaluation of how you show up in your career as a working mom; and Proverbs 31:11-17 was the foundational scripture used to conduct the evaluation. But, the question remains, "How are you showing up in your career as a working mom?" In this episode, Latika provides three questions that a working mom should ask herself to assess her presence in her career. Are you showing up in your career aggressively, assertively, or passively? Who in your village is supporting your career presence? How are you growing in your career? Latika encourages working moms to ask the above questions to ensure they are experiencing the abundance God desires for them, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 NIV.

Do you read Proverbs 31 as a checklist or guide? Do you read it as a comparison or resource? Does it empower you or drain you? In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika reviews Proverbs 31:11-17. In this passage, King Lemuel describes the characteristics of a virtuous woman and Godly wife, a vital lesson his mother taught him. The reading of this passage is not intended to be a checklist, rather a guide to help working moms become the woman God created you to be, as you serve and build God's kingdom. Questions to Ask Yourself: Are you trustworthy at work? Do you keep your word? Are you committed to doing the work? Are you settling or quiet quitting? Are you doing your best at work? Even if you are not in your Career Vision, are you striving to get there in 2024? Are you procrastinating? Are you taking care of business in the office? Are you completing tasks on time? Are you communicating effectively? Are you striving to be excellent in your Career Vision? Do you go beyond the call of duty or do you perform at the bare minimal? Reading Proverbs 31:11-17 was a reminder to tell you that you are a virtuous woman and Godly wife, and to remind you that you continue to get better every day, and every year. Even if some of the responses to the above questions were not favorable, you have the knowledge to do better - when you know better, you do better! You have what it takes to be the career driven woman that God called you to be - you have the characteristics and strength because God gave it to you, it's innate. But, sometimes you have to be reminded that its there. So, view today's episode as your reminder that you got this!

Have you been overwhelmed with the lack of growth in your career? Do you feel stuck in your position, not knowing how to move forward? Have you been struggling with finding the perfect position? In this season of transition, God is opening His arms to you, inviting you to be in His presence. You will find that when you are in His presence, allowing Him to be your focal point, He will ensure you are receiving growth, promotion, and recognition when you align with His will for your career. In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares why working moms should gather their careers and workpieces and be in alignment with God's vision for their careers. In John 6:12 NIV it says, "when they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, 'gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.' " Jesus is telling us to gather all of our career/workpieces - experience, talents, ideas, energy, and time and give them to God. When God is the focal point of your career, He will gather the pieces, not waste any of them, and align your steps to the destiny He created for you.

As a working mom, the emotional demands you have to carry are inescapable. Emotional demands could include mom guilt, anxiety, and being overwhelmed with balancing work and life. However, you cannot fix, control, and manage the emotional demands of everyone (e.g. children, husband, colleagues, relatives, situations, tasks, etc...) and everything. By doing so, you add additional weight on your shoulders while suppressing your feelings, needs, and desires. So, how do you cope with the inescapable emotional demands? In today's episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares three ways working moms can cope with emotional demands, based on Luke 10:41-42 NIV. Make God your priority concern Mind your Business Just Be Present If you have been overwhelmed with the emotional demands you carry, this episode is for you.
