Podcasts about working moms

Hi Mamas, Have you ever found yourself saying... "We should definitely get together sometime!" ...and then months go by? You're not alone. As working moms, we're balancing careers, parenting, marriages, household responsibilities, and everything in between. Friendships often fall to the bottom of the list—not because they aren't important, but because we're convinced we'll make time for them later. In today's episode, Kerri shares personal stories about reconnecting over coffee, spontaneous girls' nights, and how those small moments of connection became exactly what she needed during one of the busiest seasons of her life. She also shares practical, realistic ways to build friendships that actually fit into your life right now. In this episode, you'll learn: Why making friends gets harder as we get older The mindset shift every busy mom needs about adult friendships How to build friendships without adding more to your calendar Why small moments of connection matter more than big plans Simple ways to meet new people in places you're already going How to overcome social anxiety or introversion when making friends Why being the one who reaches out can change everything How your "village" helps you become a better mom, wife, and professional Friendships aren't built because we suddenly have more time. They're built because we decide the people are worth making time for. ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi Mamas,  Do you ever find yourself saying...  "I'd love to spend more time with my friends... when life slows down."  As busy working moms, we're constantly juggling work, kids, marriage, household responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. It's easy to believe we'll invest in our relationships once we have more free time.  But what if stronger relationships aren't built because we suddenly have more time?  What if they're built because we intentionally make time for the people who matter most?  In this week's Monday Mindset, we're shifting the way we think about connection and reminding ourselves that even the smallest moments—a quick text, a phone call, a walk, or an hour over coffee—can strengthen the relationships that make life richer.  In this episode you'll discover:  ❤️ Why waiting for life to "slow down" usually doesn't work  ❤️ How small moments create meaningful relationships  ❤️ Why intentional connection matters more than having extra time  ❤️ This week's simple challenge to strengthen one relationship  If this episode encouraged you, share it with another working mom who could use the reminder.  And be sure to come back tomorrow as we continue this conversation with practical tips on how to make and maintain friendships as a busy working mom—even when you feel like you have no time. 

Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — or rather, this week is 1 parent + 1 childfree (childless??) person lol as Harrison is out of town for a work trip (but DON'T worry, we get a full rundown of his day mid episode). On today's ep, we took some "girlypop" (as Jules calls it) questions from the audience about friendship, relationship, career, and motherhood. Here's a quick rundown of the Qs you can look forward to: how have friendships with your childfree friends changed since having kids? How do you connect with friends outside of kids? (pro tip: BYO pod topics to dinner!). How do you find the courage to leave the house with littles?! (shots on net!!). How do you track your cycle postpartum? What do you & Harrison argue about most postpartum? (AirPods???). And how do you approach career planning as a working mom? Before all that, we quickly get into a bit about the DC trip (did anyone else NOT go on an 8th grade DC trip??), how to deal with other people's kids (are we supposed to be "teaching" them if they do something wrong?), Bieber's World Cup halftime show, and Tuesday weddings: rude or chic?! We wrap things up with a follow up on: is it ever OK to lie to your kids?, a good reminder ("you don't learn to swim by reading about water"!), and a big debate online: how old is "too old" to have a wedding registry?! Alright, hopefully you enjoyed! But if you didn't, Harrison will be back on Wednesday hahaha. LOVE YOU GUYS!

Hi Mamas,  Have you ever reached the end of the day feeling like everything went wrong?  As busy working moms, it's easy to let one stressful meeting, one parenting challenge, or one unexpected inconvenience define our entire day. But what if we intentionally chose to focus on what went right instead?  In this week's Monday Mindset episode, I'm sharing a simple quote that's been on my heart lately:  "Every day holds a blessing. Don't let one hard moment make you miss it."  We'll talk about why our minds naturally focus on the negative, how practicing gratitude can completely shift our perspective, and one simple habit you can start today to help you notice the blessings that are already all around you.  In this episode, we'll discuss:  Why one difficult moment shouldn't define your entire day  How gratitude helps reduce stress and shift your mindset  Why every day can be both hard and beautiful at the same time  A simple question to ask yourself every evening  This week's Monday Mindset Challenge  This Week's Challenge  Before you go to bed each night this week, ask yourself:  "What was today's blessing?"  It doesn't have to be something big.  Maybe it was your morning coffee.  A kind word from a friend.  A hug from your child.  A productive meeting.  A quiet moment to yourself.  Train your mind to notice what's good, even on the hard days.  ✨ If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with another working mom who could use the reminder.  And don't forget to come back tomorrow for Part 2, where I'll share a personal story that brought this lesson to life in a way I wasn't expecting. 

When you hear the word negotiation, you probably think about salary discussions or business deals.But what if I told you that you're negotiating dozens of times every single day?From asking your spouse to help with dinner, to dividing household responsibilities, setting boundaries at work, or saying no without guilt—negotiation is happening constantly. And learning how to do it well can completely change your life.In this episode, I'm joined by negotiation and influence expert Attia Qureshi, former MIT faculty member, University of Michigan professor, and author of Never Settle. Attia shares simple, practical strategies that help busy moms advocate for themselves without creating conflict or damaging relationships.We discuss:Why negotiation isn't just for the boardroomThe everyday negotiations moms don't even realize they're havingA simple phrase that makes it easier to ask for help at homeWhy saying "just ask for what you want" often doesn't work for womenHow to negotiate for more support, time, and balanceThe hidden negotiation happening inside your own mindPractical ways to set boundaries without guiltHow practicing negotiation in small moments prepares you for the big onesIf you've ever found yourself saying, "It's just easier if I do it myself," this episode is for you.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

What do uneven benefits changes from mega corporations tell us about how these workplaces value women? In the past few months, both Deloitte and Zoom have publicly announced significant changes to particular portions of their employee benefits packages. These adjustments amount to telling certain employees (mostly women) that they matter less than others.  By slashing paid family and medical leave and paid time off for “support roles,” Deloitte is effectively hamstringing the predominantly female portion of their staff - those workers in positions like finance, admin, and HR (and the changes also impact IT and marketing). Comparatively, they confirmed that no deductions will befall employees in client-facing positions. In this episode, I break down what companies are saying when they curb vital childcare and parental benefits for the portion of their workforce that shoulders the bulk of caregiving responsibilities. Learn more about this “gender-scrubbing” form of sexism that perpetuates workplace inequity, including: How companies use language to erase women from the narrative; The dangerous precedent that a change like this sets; Why not all two-tier benefit structures are made equal; Four steps you can take to make your voice heard.

Hi Mamas,  What are you carrying that was never yours to carry?  As working moms, we're often praised for doing it all.  We remember the appointments.  Manage the schedules.  Keep track of the grocery list.  Support our families.  Show up at work.  Take care of everyone else.  But somewhere along the way, many of us start believing that if we don't do everything...  Everything will fall apart.  In this week's Working Mom Mindset, we're talking about the invisible weight so many women carry every day… and why peace often begins when we learn to put some of that weight down.  In This Episode You'll Learn:  ✨ Why overwhelmed working moms often carry more than they need to  ✨ The difference between being responsible and believing you're responsible for everything  ✨ How guilt keeps us carrying unnecessary burdens  ✨ Why letting go isn't giving up  ✨ A simple mindset shift to help you find more peace this week    This Week's Challenge  This week, I want you to pause for just a few minutes and ask yourself:  What am I carrying that was never mine to carry?  Is it:  Someone else's expectations?   Guilt?   Trying to make everyone happy?   Trying to control something that's outside your control?   Choose just one thing.  Practice putting it down this week.  Because peace doesn't always come from doing more.  Sometimes...  It comes from carrying less.

Do you ever feel like you and your partner are parenting from completely different playbooks?You're not alone.In this episode, Lori sits down with registered clinical counselor, trauma-informed therapist, and author Martina Nova to discuss why parenting often uncovers differences couples never realized they had—and how to move from conflict to connection.Martina shares insights from her new book, Same Page Parenting, explaining that successful parenting isn't about agreeing on every decision. Instead, it's about understanding one another's experiences, values, childhood influences, and emotional needs.Together, they discuss: Why becoming parents often changes even the strongest relationships  The hidden impact of childhood experiences on the way we parent  Understanding and reducing the invisible mental load  How social media and modern parenting pressures affect today's families  Conversation starters that help couples reconnect instead of argue  Why curiosity is more powerful than trying to "win" parenting disagreements  Simple ways to begin feeling like a parenting team again One of Martina's favorite questions to ask couples is:"What part of parenting feels heaviest for you right now?"Sometimes one compassionate question can open the door to deeper understanding and stronger connection.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like you're carrying too much on your own, this conversation will remind you that healthy parenting starts with healthy communication.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

Do you wake up already feeling behind — caught between being a present mom and an ambitious professional, and somehow falling short at both?In this conversation, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas speaks with international life coach Rebecca Olson about the quiet drain living inside so many working mothers: the belief that you are simply not enough. Rebecca shares how her own motherhood identity crisis — triggered by pregnancy with her first child — set her on a year-long self-discovery process that eventually became her life's work.They walk through why work-life balance is first an internal state, not a scheduling fix; how the "not enough" narrative quietly shapes decisions, energy, and self-worth; and why redefining what success means to you — on your own terms — shifts the whole picture.Rebecca's free Daily Kickstart is a 10-minute daily practice to build a steadier internal dialogue around your own enoughness.

I get asked this all the time. How do you actually make it to the second shift? How do you work at night and not just collapse?And honestly? It's not that hard for me. Not because I have more energy than you. Because I stopped bleeding mine out all day.Here's what's actually happening when night hits and you're done. You've spent the whole day trying to be mom, business owner, wife, housekeeper, and gym-goer all at the same time. Nothing got your full attention. Not the business. Not your kid. Not yourself. And that's not a time problem. That's a nervous system problem.Every time you switch tasks, your nervous system takes a hit. You've been doing that on repeat since 6am. By the time the second shift comes, you're not tired from doing too much. You're tired from switching too much.This episode is about what actually regulates that — and why making it to the second shift isn't about pushing through exhaustion. It's about arriving with something left.IN THIS EPISODE— Why you're exhausted by the time the second shift starts and it has nothing to do with how much you did— The difference between physical exhaustion and nervous system depletion — and why most moms are experiencing the second one and calling it laziness— What overstimulation actually is and why it's not just noise, it's too many open loops— Why I took a nap with Luka today and what that has to do with making it through my own second shift tonight— The real structure that makes the second shift possible: containing each part of your day instead of splitting yourself across all of them— How AI protects the container so nothing bleeds into mom time — and why that's the actual reason I have something left at nightYou can do all of it. But not all at once. Stop splitting. Start containing.

Hi Mamas, As working moms, it's easy to spend our days taking care of everyone else. Work deadlines, kids' schedules, laundry, meals, errands, and endless to-do lists can quietly push our relationships to the bottom of the priority list. In this week's Monday Mindset, we're talking about one simple but powerful truth: "Love grows best in the spaces we intentionally make for it." If you've been feeling disconnected from your spouse or wondering where the spark has gone, this episode is a reminder that strong relationships aren't built by waiting for life to slow down—they're built by intentionally creating moments of connection, even during life's busiest seasons. Tomorrow, I'll be celebrating 25 years with my husband, Russ, and sharing our love story along with the habits that have helped us stay connected through work, raising three kids, and all of life's beautiful chaos.

If you've been telling yourself, "Maybe now just isn't the right time to go after that promotion," I want you to hear this. In this episode, I share a conversation I had with a working mom who thought she was questioning her ambition, when in reality, she was simply running out of capacity. We unpack why so many ambitious women shrink their dreams instead of expanding their ability to hold them, and why sustainable work-life balance isn't about choosing between career success and family, it creates space for both. In this episode, we unpack:Why feeling "stretched too thin" isn't a clarity problem—it's a capacity problem. The hidden reason ambitious moms stop pursuing promotions. How survival mode quietly shrinks your career goals. Why work-life balance is the foundation for career growth. The simple mindset shift that helps you build a true "both-and" life.

Caty Borum, the pod's Executive Producer and Executive Director for The Center for Media & Social Impact, speaks with series creator Megan Gallagher about giving voice to the nuanced cultural shame often imposed on working mothers in the United States – through the lens of a soapy drama and crime whodunnit.

Hi Mamas,  Have you ever found yourself advocating fiercely for your kids, your family, or your team… but struggling to speak up for yourself?  You're not alone.  In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson that life has been reminding me of lately: advocating for yourself isn't asking for special treatment—it's communicating what you need so you can continue showing up at your best without burning yourself out.  Between Ashley's prom, graduation, college orientation, Kaylee's Sweet 16, a mother-daughter trip, the podcast, and my corporate job, this season of life has been BUSY. And recently I was reminded just how important it is to communicate early, set expectations, and stop assuming people know what we need.  If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stretched too thin, afraid to speak up, or worried about how advocating for yourself might be perceived at work, this episode is for you.  In This Episode, I Share: 

What if the solution to feeling overwhelmed wasn't becoming more productive, but getting more support? In this episode, I'm joined by Kelly Hubbell, founder and CEO of Sage Haus, for a conversation that I know will resonate with so many working parents, especially those carrying the invisible labor of managing a household. Curious whether a House Manager could work for your family? Schedule a no-pressure call to learn more and get your questions answered. Get the Home Systems Playbook Learn About Hiring a House Manager Use Promo Code: MOLLY for $100 off Book a Free Info Call  Kelly shares how she went from a successful career in software sales to building a nationwide company after experiencing firsthand how transformative a house manager was for her own family. With two young kids, a demanding career, and constant travel, she realized she didn't need another productivity hack—she needed help. Together, we explore what a house manager actually does, why so many families struggle under the weight of the mental load, and how creating support systems can improve your home life, relationships, and overall well-being. In this conversation, we discuss: What a house manager is and how it differs from a nanny, cleaner, or task-based help The invisible labor and mental load many working parents carry Why asking for help often comes with guilt, stigma, and resistance How support at home can improve your marriage, parenting, and presence The cost, time commitment, and practical realities of hiring help How to approach conversations with your partner about outsourcing and support Why building a sustainable life often requires building a stronger village Kelly also shares how Sage Hause works, what families typically delegate, and why even a few hours of support each week can create meaningful change.

Hi Mamas,  As working moms, many of us take pride in doing our jobs well.  We show up.  We work hard.  We care deeply about the quality of our work.  And whether we absolutely love our jobs or simply see them as a way to provide for our families, many of us have something in common:  We don't know how to stop.  In today's Monday Mindset, I'm sharing a powerful reminder that has been on my heart lately:  You can be committed to your career without being consumed by it.  This episode isn't just for the moms who are passionate about their careers. It's also for the moms who show up every day, do their best, take pride in being high performers, and carry a lot of responsibility—both at work and at home.  We'll talk about the difference between being committed and being consumed, why so many working moms struggle to separate the two, and how to create more space for the life you're working so hard to build.  Because at the end of the day, your career is part of your life.  It shouldn't become your entire life.

In this conversation, Erika and Marie sit down with marketing strategist Meisie Beauvais, also known as The Seasoned Strategist, to talk about what marketing really means for moms in business.

As host of SHLTMM, I wanted you to know that this episode of my podcast contains some graphic or sensitive content that some may find disturbing. Gregg's podcast, "The Compulsive Storyteller" which can be found where ever you listen to podcast, is Gregg continuing the art of telling stories handed down from past generations. Worth a listen for sure. (Link is below.) When Gregg was a little boy the family had moved to the Albany, New York area. Betty owned a plane, so who better to fly with his mom on a regular basis. He loved seeing the landscape from way up in the sky. It was quite an experience for a little boy. They'd go out to lunch and fly from one location to another. Gregg really cherishes his memories of his mom. Gregg's parents were apparently too similar personalities to make a good match according to Gregg. When Betty was checked out of  the WASP at the end of WWII, she received a job offer as the first ever female flight controller at LaGuardia Airport. Her husband sent her a telegraph ordering her to go back to buffalo and wait for him and not to take the job. Gregg shares a few very telling stories about his mother's experience in the military. Unfortunately a strong, talented, fearless  women had a  tough time in a male dominated industry such as the military. Gregg often says, "she was a woman ahead of her time." Betty flew an AT-6 which was considered the best fighter training aircraft during WWII, P38 Fighter Bomber and more. Over the 32 years that Gregg knew his mother, he laments  "she never once said 'I'm sorry,' nor did she say so to my sisters or my father. That was a real disability she had.  She was very proud."  Unfortunately, Gregg's maternal  grandmother held onto grudges similar to his mother. Anyone who went against his grandmother, they also were crossed off the list forever. Being in the military was not always easy, the most challenging  was when confronted by misogynistic men. That happened on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the harassment continued after the military while working in the real estate business. "A woman who was strong and decisive and stood up for herself was basically a difficult woman," Gregg explains out of frustration. Unfortunately, Betty LeFevre, even with all her accomplishments,  was more unhappy than anyone  could have understood.  * About Gregg In His Words I'm a public artist with permanent commissions around the world, a passion for the art world, entrepreneurship, multiculturalism, & stories. I have completed over 200 permanently installed public art projects all over the world, many in the USA and a dozen in Manhattan. Library Walk, at Fifth and 41st, is the latest work of public art in NYC. Many of my projects are unique in that they consist of a series of bronze panels with text and imagery that are set in sidewalks, parks and plazas. Library Walk is two blocks long, and it's 96 bronze panels lead the viewer toward the front door of NY's central Schwarzman Library.  My public art is all about exploring the history and character of the places where it is set. I have a particular interest in telling the lost and forgotten stories from African American history, women's history, Hispanic history, natural history and those of other minority cultures. I have also turned many my experiences in and around the world of art into a podcast of short personal stories that proves truth can be stranger than fiction. The Compulsive Storytelleris my podcast of intriguing comic, tragic and weird stories, many of which involve getting myself into and out of trouble. It is available on Apple, Spotify and most other platforms.  Reviews of my public artworks can be found in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and many other newspapers, magazines and online publications.   Discover More http://andrewslefevre.com/ https://www.gregglefevre.com/nyt-bronze-star https://www.gregglefevre.com/nyt-what-lies-beneath    https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/the-great-library-way-1411003094    https://www.grandcentralpartnership.nyc/our-neighborhood/library-way    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqwr1WdayQ0&feature=emb_imp_woyt https://open.spotify.com/show/5MllPsrmeipHqZ0vtiw2Mx https://www.thecompulsivestoryteller.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thecompulsivestoryteller/ https://www.facebook.com/TheCompulsiveStoryteller "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Hi Mamas, Do you ever open social media for "just a minute" and somehow end up feeling like you're behind? Behind on motherhood. Behind on your goals. Behind on your housework. Behind on life. You're not alone. Today we're talking about the pressure of social media, the comparison trap so many moms fall into, and the powerful reminder that we are often comparing our real lives to someone else's carefully curated highlight reel. I share my own struggles with social media as both a mom and a coach, why healthy boundaries around technology matter, and how comparison can quietly steal our joy, confidence, and presence without us even realizing it. If you've ever found yourself questioning whether you're doing enough after scrolling social media, this episode is for you. In This Episode We Discuss: Why social media comparison is so common among moms • How comparison quietly steals joy and shifts our focus • The difference between real life and online highlight reels • Why even coaches and business owners struggle with comparison • The importance of creating healthy boundaries with social media • How to protect your peace and stay present in your own life • A simple mindset shift to help you stop feeling like you're falling behind This Week's Quote: "Don't compare your real life to someone else's highlight reel."
