Podcasts about working moms

Hi Mamas,  If you've ever started the week with big intentions… working out, meal prepping, spending more quality time with your kids, or finally getting ahead at work… only to watch the week fill up with meetings, activities, and unexpected responsibilities…  You are not alone.  Today, we're unpacking a simple but powerful productivity truth:  “What gets scheduled gets done.” — Michael Hyatt  For busy working moms, the difference between wishing something would happen and actually making it happen often comes down to one thing…  Putting it on the calendar.  When something only lives in your head or on a never-ending to-do list, it's easy for it to get pushed aside. But when you intentionally block time for it… just like you would a meeting or appointment… it becomes a real commitment.  In this episode, you'll discover how scheduling your priorities can help you:  Create better work-life balance  Make time for exercise, planning, and family connection  Stop reacting to your schedule and start leading your week  Reduce overwhelm and mental clutter  Build consistency around habits that support your well-being  You'll also hear a simple challenge to help you start implementing this mindset right away.  Because the goal isn't to pack more into your schedule…  It's to make sure the right things actually have a place in your week.  And tomorrow's episode will build on this by walking you through a simple weekly reset routine that helps working moms plan their week with clarity and intention.

Hi mama, As I reached episode 300 of Mom Wife Career Life I found myself reflecting on the past three years of balancing corporate work, motherhood, and building this podcast. I'm proud to say that through job changes, stress, parenting, and life's ups and downs, I've never missed a week of releasing an episode. But hitting this milestone also brought an unexpected feeling… Disappointment. Because if I'm being honest, I thought life would look a little different by now. In this episode, I share the reality of the past year… including a health scare, anxiety, grief, tragedy in my community, and the emotional rollercoaster of preparing to send my oldest daughter to college. Through it all, my priorities have shifted. Right now they look like: Protecting my health • Being present with my family • Soaking up every moment of having all three of my kids under the same roof Because sometimes growth isn't loud. Sometimes it looks like rest… letting go of timelines… protecting your peace… and showing up for what matters most. If you've ever thought, “I thought I'd be further by now,” please know this: You're not behind. You're becoming.

Hi Mamas, In today's episode, I'm breaking down what this quote means for busy working moms who are juggling careers, families, responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do it all. “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.” — Robert Jordan Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned that being strong meant never bending. But real life doesn't work that way. Life brings storms. Sometimes those storms look like stress at work. Sometimes they look like unexpected life events. Sometimes they look like seasons where everything just feels heavier than usual. And when that happens, the strongest thing we can do isn't always pushing harder. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is bend… adapt… and protect our energy so we don't break. Because bending doesn't mean you're failing. Sometimes bending is exactly what allows you to keep going.   ✨This Week's Monday Mindset Challenge✨ Take a moment this week and ask yourself: Where am I trying to be the oak… when I might need to be the willow? Is there an area of your life where you're pushing too hard? Where slowing down, adjusting expectations, or setting a boundary might actually help you protect your energy? You don't have to power through every storm. Sometimes bending is exactly what allows you to survive it.

Welcome to Mom Wife Career Life If you're a working mom who feels like you're constantly juggling work deadlines, family responsibilities, and about a thousand tabs open in your brain at all times… you are absolutely in the right place. I'm Kerri Patt... a corporate leader, wife, and mom of three. For years I felt like I was trying to do all the things. I was commuting hours into Manhattan, managing my career, raising my kids, running our home, volunteering, and constantly feeling like I was being pulled in a hundred different directions. From the outside, it probably looked like I had it all together. But inside… I often felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and like there was never enough time in the day. Somewhere along the way, I realized something important: Being busy all the time wasn't the same thing as living a life that actually felt balanced. So I started focusing on time management, mindset, setting boundaries with work, and living more intentionally… and those small shifts completely changed how I show up in my life as a mom, a professional, and a person. That journey is exactly why I created this podcast. Now, with over 300 episodes and tens of thousands of downloads, Mom. Wife. Career. Life. has become a place where ambitious working moms can come for practical strategies, honest conversations, and encouragement along the way. Each week I share short, practical episodes you can listen to in under 20 minutes where we talk about: • Time management strategies for busy working moms • Setting boundaries with work and protecting family time • Reducing stress and overwhelm • Creating simple systems that make daily life easier • Building healthy habits and routines • Letting go of perfection so you can live more intentionally Because the truth is… You don't need more hours in the day. You just need better systems, clearer priorities, and permission to stop trying to do it all. If something in your life led you to this podcast today, I'm so glad you're here.

In this episode, Fiorenza Rossini sits down with Sam Kennedy Christian, an accredited executive coach, coach supervisor, and certified Fair Play Method facilitator at The Float Space.Together, they explore the often invisible but overwhelming mental load carried by working mothers. “Sharing the mental load or even just distributing the mental responsibilities can significantly reduce stress and improve mental health. It's about surfacing those invisible tasks and having open conversations about them.”, says Sam.From understanding how societal expectations shape household responsibilities to practical tools for reducing stress, this conversation offers actionable insights to foster balance, belonging, and well-being. Whether you're juggling work, family, or both, you'll find strategies to make space for self-care, creativity, and shared responsibilities in this episode!In particular, I really enjoyed getting to know more about the Fair Play method!It's a game-changing approach developed by Eve Rodsky. It's designed to help couples divide household responsibilities more equitably. The method uses a deck of cards, each representing a task, to make the invisible mental load visible and manageable. It's not just about who does what, but about having clear ownership of tasks from start to finish.Tune in for the full conversation

Hi mama, If you're physically home but mentally still at work… you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about mental boundaries, because real work-life balance isn't just about managing your calendar. It's about protecting your thoughts. Most working moms don't struggle to shut off because they're bad at relaxing. They struggle because: They care deeply about doing a good job • They carry a lot of responsibility • They're used to problem-solving all day • Their brain has been trained to stay alert This episode breaks down exactly how to retrain your brain so it knows when it's safe to rest. We'll talk about: ✔️ Logging Off Physically Isn't the Same as Logging Off Mentally: Why your brain needs cues  to power down. ✔️ Create a Work-to-Home Transition Ritual:Simple ways to signal to your brain that the workday is complete (especially if you work from home). ✔️Contain Work Thoughts Instead of Fighting Them: How brain-dumping reduces rumination and nighttime anxiety. ✔️Define What “Enough” Looks Like: How setting daily Top 3 priorities prevents endless mental scanning. ✔️ Close Open Loops During the Day: Why unfinished tasks create evening mental noise. ✔️Address Unspoken Anxiety: How avoiding difficult conversations fuels overthinking, and how clarity quiets chaos. ✔️ The “Next Right Step” Method: The simple question that stops spiraling thoughts at 10pm. ✔️ Technology Audit: How email notifications, work apps, and phone habits sabotage your boundaries. ✔️Reclaim the Weekend With Intention: How to prevent Sunday Scaries and protect family time.

Tis the season for illnesses, snow days, days off school, and so many other unexpected reasons for the kids to be home when you need to work. In this episode, I'm sharing what I do from the moment I receive the call (or hear the cough) to still be able to get things done while also navigating having a kid at home (or being sick myself). Listen in for some ideas and to be reminded that you're not alone!   ==========================  

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ You closed your laptop. You logged off. So why is your brain still in a meeting it wasn't invited to? If you've ever found yourself replaying conversations, rewriting emails in your head, or mentally drafting tomorrow's to-do list while sitting at dinner with your family… this episode is for you. In this Monday Mindset episode, we're unpacking a powerful quote by William James: “The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” Stress isn't always about what happened. It's about the meaning we immediately attach to what happened. As ambitious working moms, we care deeply. We want to do well. We want to show up with excellence. But sometimes the constant mental replay doesn't make us more responsible… it just makes us more exhausted. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why your thoughts, not your planner, are your greatest stress trigger ✨ How to catch the thought that's spiraling your anxiety ✨ What it actually means to “choose a different thought” (without toxic positivity) ✨ Why mental boundaries matter more than calendar boundaries ✨ How your energy impacts your presence at home This is the foundation for creating real work-life balance. Because peace doesn't start with a perfectly color-coded calendar. It starts with what's happening between your ears.

You're getting things done, but are you actually growing?

Hi mama, In Part 3 of the Money Mindset Mini Series, we're shifting from saving strategies to sustainable habits that actually work for busy families.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it's still not enough? As a working Christian mom, anxiety often doesn't show up as panic — it shows up as pressure. Pressure to perform. Pressure to be present. Pressure to balance faith, work, and motherhood perfectly. And beneath that pressure is a quiet whisper: “You're not enough.” In this episode, we're unpacking the subtle voice of anxiety that convinces working moms their worth is tied to performance — and we're replacing it with biblical truth that anchors your identity in Christ. If you're battling overwhelm, mom guilt, decision fatigue, or constant self-evaluation, this conversation will help you shift from striving to steady. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why anxiety often targets high-capacity, high-responsibility working moms The difference between conviction and condemnation How to separate facts from fear when you feel like you're failing What it means to anchor your identity in Christ instead of performance How to practice “surrender moments” when anxiety starts spiraling Biblical Truths We Cover In Ephesians 2:10, we're reminded that we are God's workmanship — created with purpose, not pressure. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we're reassured that God's grace is sufficient — even in our weakness. In Psalm 139, we're told we are fearfully and wonderfully made — fully known and fully seen. And in John 15, Jesus calls us to remain in Him — not hustle for Him. These verses aren't motivational quotes. They are anchors. For the Working Mom Who Feels “Almost Enough” If you're constantly asking yourself: Did I do enough today? Was I patient enough? Did I work hard enough? Am I spiritually doing enough? This episode will gently remind you that: God is not grading your motherhood — He is guiding it. Your value is not measured by productivity. You were called with grace attached to your season. Anxiety measures worth by output. God defines worth by relationship.   Ready to Stop Striving and Start Living Faithfully Aligned? If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to move from overwhelmed to aligned, I created something specifically for you. Faithfully Balanced is a self-led course for working Christian moms who feel stretched thin and spiritually weary — but deeply desire peace, clarity, and alignment. Inside Faithfully Balanced, you will: Clarify your God-given priorities Create boundaries that protect what matters most Build rhythms that reduce overwhelm Anchor your identity in truth — not performance This course is designed to help you live faithfully aligned with what God has actually called you to — without burnout.

You know it's important to exercise, and actually, you want to because you feel so much better when you do. But as a busy working mom, the question is where does it fit??   In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I coach women to start (or restart) a movement routine in a season where time feels tight, kids need you, and work is full.   I talk about: Why auditing your time is the first step   How to let go of all-or-nothing thinking   What it really means to "expand your definition" of exercise   How to use 1–5% improvements to build momentum   Why you should experiment at least three times before deciding something "doesn't work"   From 10-minute living room workouts to lifting heavy weights years later, I'm sharing what this has looked like in my own life — and how you can plant the seeds now for the routine you want long-term.   If movement is one of your goals this year, this episode will help you start — without waiting for more time, more energy, or a different season.   ==========================  

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ This week, we're officially in week three of our mini money mindset series, and today's episode is all about deciding first so money feels easier. If you've ever told yourself: “I'll save if there's anything left,” or “Once things slow down, I'll get serious about saving,” this episode is for you. We're breaking down the quote: “Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.” — Warren Buffett and why this mindset shift is especially important for working moms managing busy households, unpredictable expenses, and mental load. In this episode, we talk about: Why saving last usually doesn't work How deciding ahead of time reduces money stress The difference between restriction and alignment How small, consistent saving habits build long-term peace

This week, I'm kicking off a new series all about the mental load, and it could not be more timely. I woke up with that familiar heaviness so many working moms carry — the constant tracking, anticipating, remembering, deciding. Not just tasks, but the invisible thinking work behind everything. In this episode, I share the simplest, most powerful thing I did before my tea even finished boiling that helped me feel lighter, calmer, and more in control. If your brain feels like it's running overtime and you're tired of holding everything in your head, this is a must-listen.In this episode, we unpack: What the mental load actually is (and why it's not just your to-do list) The concept of cognitive labor and how it impacts your emotions Why your brain is acting like an overzealous intern The simplest mental load “hack” to create instant clarity How visibility and clarity immediately reduce overwhelmYour next steps: The Daily Kickstart {free download}: www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/daily-kickstart Book a Break Free from Stress Strategy Call: www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/break-free-from-stress

Are you ambitious… but exhausted?In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with executive coach Rebecca Olson to unpack the hidden struggles of high-achieving working moms. From the silent identity crisis that often follows motherhood to the pressure of cultural expectations, this conversation goes deep into what it really means to succeed without losing yourself.Rebecca shares her practical Three C's Framework—Clarity, Confidence, and Control—to help ambitious women reclaim their identity, set boundaries without guilt, and build sustainable work-life balance.If you've ever felt successful on paper but drained in real life, this episode will shift how you define ambition—and empower you to rewrite your rules.Key Takeaways• Women often feel exhausted despite their achievements• Cultural expectations can create internal conflict for mothers• Defining success is a personal journey for every woman• Setting boundaries is crucial for emotional well-being• Women need to reclaim their identities beyond motherhood• The Three C's framework helps women find balance• Emotional management is key to overcoming overwhelm• Women can have fulfilling careers and be present mothers• It's important to prioritize self-care and personal time• Success is about making empowered choicesConnect with Rebecca Olson

Hey Powerhouses! This week we're talking about what happens when you wake up and realize you're living someone else's perfect life—and what it takes to create one that actually fits. Wendy Meadows, seasoned family law attorney, former litigator, certified life coach, mediator, and author of the bestselling book Sparkling Grit, joins us to share her journey from BigLaw burnout to building a practice (and life) on her own terms.We dive into why Wendy left her firm after 13 years (spoiler: asking permission for vacation was the last straw), how Beachbody coaching taught her more about running a business than law school ever did, and why so many lawyers who go solo end up making MORE money while working fewer hours than they ever imagined. Wendy breaks down the math (yes, there's a spreadsheet), walks us through the hardest part of going solo (the breakup conversation with your partners), and explains why hiring an assistant before you think you need one is non-negotiable.We also talk about the Sparkle and Grit framework—why you need both the feminine (sparkle) and masculine (grit) energy to succeed, how to recognize burnout before you hit the wall, and why 2026 is Wendy's year of "ease."

Hey Powerhouses! This week we're diving into the wild world of legal tech with Colleen Joyce, CEO of Lawyer.com. From interviewing A-list celebrities at Popstar.com to building one of the leading online legal marketplaces, Colleen brings authenticity, energy, and a growth-first mindset to everything she does—including her new ice skating lessons (yes, really).We talk about riding the AI wave instead of getting crushed by it, why your competitors are already using AI and what you need to know, and how Colleen runs Lawyer.com like a startup with a flat organizational structure where anyone can bring an idea to the table. The conversation highlights the importance of leading by example, creating a culture where fun is a pillar (hello, dress-up days!), and why community and networking are some of the biggest growth levers you can pull.Colleen and I delve into the challenge of being a beginner at something, the power of testing every AI platform out there (even if you don't buy anything), and why understanding your baseline metrics is critical for growth. We also discuss how the legal tech space has shifted from buttoned-up lawyers to a more casual, Google-style startup environment, and why joining masterminds and communities—even when it's uncomfortable—is what builds longevity in business.Plus, Colleen shares her legally blonde moment of walking into a glass wall while scrolling on her phone (we've all been there), and invites us all to embrace the chaos, have fun, and maybe even lace up some ice skates.Connect with Colleen Joyce and Lawyer.com: LinkedIn: Colleen Joyce Website: Lawyer.com Phone: Give Lawyer.com a call—you might get Colleen herself!Stay connected with Erin Gerner: Website: eringerner.com LinkedIn: Erin Gerner Instagram: @eringerner Facebook: Erin GernerKey Takeaway: If you're not using AI, your competitor is. Start with something fun to build your foundation, test every platform out there, and join community—it's one of the biggest growth levers you can pull. Oh, and maybe take up ice skating. Life's too short not to try new things.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! If money has felt tighter lately… and the idea of “budgeting” already makes you tired…you are not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing real, practical ways I've personally cut costs and saved money in this season of life… without extreme rules, guilt, or sacrificing the things that matter most. Between senior year expenses, college prep, travel plans, and everyday life, our family needed to get more intentional with spending. And in just one month, small changes added up to real savings. This episode is for busy working moms who want: ✔️ Less financial stress ✔️ More clarity around spending ✔️ Simple habits that actually stick ✔️ Permission to do money differently in this season In this episode, you'll learn: How to spot and eliminate silent spenders draining your account • Why meal planning before shopping saves more than you think • How “shopping your house” reduces both clutter and spending • Why setting a short no-spend window builds awareness fast • How to automate savings… even if it's a small amount • Where generic brands make sense (and where splurging does) • Easy ways to save on insurance, toiletries, kids' activities, and experiences • The mindset shift that stops overspending without shame This isn't about being perfect with money. It's about becoming conscious instead of reactive. Most overspending isn't reckless… it's unconscious. And once you start noticing patterns instead of judging yourself, everything shifts.

In this Monday Mindset episode, we're unpacking a powerful truth inspired by a Benjamin Franklin quote: “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.” While this quote is often applied to money, it speaks just as loudly to time, energy, and mental load… especially for working moms.

It's about paying attention… without shame… and reclaiming your sense of control.

What if the reason you feel rushed, stretched thin, and disconnected isn't because you're doing something wrong—but because the systems supporting your life aren't actually supporting you?In this episode I'm joined by Courtney Cecil, host of the LifeManagement System for Working Moms and founder of the Working Moms Movement.Courtney supports high-achieving working moms who are doing all the inner work—mindset shifts, personal growth, self-awareness—and yet stillfeel overwhelmed, behind, and depleted.

What if the most overlooked group in your workplace holds the key to retention, loyalty, and a truly people-first culture? Nikki is joined by Paul Sullivan, former New York Times columnist and founder of The Company of Dads. Paul shares the deeply personal story behind his mission to elevate and support "lead dads," the primary caregivers often overlooked in corporate benefit structures. From the eye-opening stats on caregiving to stories of companies getting it painfully wrong, Paul challenges leaders to rethink how they message and activate the benefits they already offer. This conversation is a wake-up call and a roadmap for anyone serious about creating workplaces that work for families. If your culture says "family first," does your messaging and manager training back it up?   Additional Resources: Connect with Paul on LinkedIn Learn more about The Company of Dads Watch Gut + Science (and more) on YouTube!

Messaging matters as much as your benefits package. Managers must walk the talk on flexibility. Small changes create big impacts for caregivers. Transparency attracts and retains the right people.  

Episode DescriptionWhat happens when you start a law firm with zero clients, zero contacts, and a vision that doesn't fit anyone else's mold? Gabriela Smith did exactly that—and built it so successfully that her anesthesiologist husband retired from medicine to join her. In this powerful conversation, Gabriela shares how she transformed from a BigLaw litigator who hated asking permission for vacation into an entrepreneur building a tech-powered, human-centric M&A law firm that's rewriting the rules. She talks about legal subscriptions replacing billable hours, why AI can't replace human intuition, creating a law firm "umbrella" for entrepreneurial attorneys who want freedom, and what it really takes to walk through the thick mud of reinvention. This is for every attorney who's ever felt like they don't fit the traditional mold—because you don't have to.Connect with Gabriela SmithInstagram: @thegabbysmith LinkedIn: Gabriela Smith Email: gsmith@gnslawplc.com Podcast: Exit Ed PodcastGabriela mentors moms and entrepreneurs—reach out if you want to connect.
