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.

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.

You are not doing it wrong. You just need a better strategy. Because you do not have to do business alone
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.

What Are You Trying to Carry That You're Allowed to Put Down? What happens when you stop carrying things that were never yours to hold in the first place?

From motherhood and leadership to health, body image, and boundaries, she shares the lessons helping her come back to herself after years of putting everyone else's needs first.

This episode covers: Why your body does not have to be perfect for you to fully participate in life Learning to trust yourself as a leader and own the space you've built The ongoing work of maintaining your identity beyond motherhood Why your needs, happiness, and well-being matter too Letting people be disappointed instead of constantly disappointing yourself The power of asking for help and being honest when you're struggling Prioritizing your health before a crisis forces you to Rediscovering joy, fun, and the parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside How to identify what you're carrying and decide what you're ready to put down If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers a gentle invitation to pause and ask: Is this really mine to carry? Because women do not have to keep putting themselves last and calling it love.https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothat Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/ TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothat Blog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blog Podcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcast Newsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.com YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthat How to find Stephanie Mitton: Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMitton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/ beaconnorthstrategies.com TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmitton Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/ Interested in sponsorship?

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."

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.

Hi Mamas, Summer is coming… and if you're a working mom, that can feel like a mix of excitement and “how am I going to manage all of this?” The kids are home more… routines shift… schedules get unpredictable… and somehow work still expects the same version of you. If you've ever felt like summer starts with good intentions but quickly turns into chaos… this episode is for you. In this episode, we're building on the idea of planning an intentional summer… and getting into the real-life side of it:
Send us Fan MailSummer is supposed to feel like a deep breath, but for a lot of moms it turns into nonstop motion: camps, meals, screens, messy kitchens, and the constant question of how to keep kids happy while you're still working. I'm Camille, and I'm sharing the real-life summer systems I use to create more calm without squeezing the joy out of the season. We talk about why perfection is the quickest path to burnout, and why your kids will remember how they felt far more than how the day looked.You'll hear practical ideas you can tailor to your family, including simple morning checklists, screen time reward systems, and themed days that give everyone something to look forward to. I also explain what I call a “soft routine,” that sweet spot where kids know what to expect but you still have room to be flexible. One of my favorite strategies is a summer bucket list family meeting, then turning those ideas into a visible calendar so your kids feel heard and the fun actually happens.We also get into delegation and lowering the mental load with home “zones,” age-appropriate chores, grocery delivery, and meal planning that includes your kids. If you're drowning in to-dos, I share my free Ultimate Time Audit and Productivity System so you can see where your time is going and what to delegate first.If this helps, subscribe to Call Me CEO, share it with a friend who needs a calmer summer routine, and leave a review so more moms can find these tools.Resources Mentioned:Free summer routine printablesCoaching & Systems Support with CamilleConnect with Camille: Website: CamilleWalker.coInstagram: @camillewalker.coBlog & Printables: MyMommyStyle.com
Have you ever had one of those motherhood moments where you immediately wished you could hit rewind? Maybe you lost your patience. Responded harshly. Snapped after a long day of work, responsibilities, and carrying the mental load of motherhood. If you're a working Christian mom struggling with mom guilt, this episode is for you. In today's encouraging conversation, we're talking about something many moms quietly carry but rarely talk about — what happens when our kids see us fail. Because while none of us want to lose our patience or fall short in motherhood, there's a powerful truth we can hold onto: Your children do not need a perfect mom. They need a mom who knows what to do with her imperfections. In this episode, you'll hear biblical encouragement about: How to handle mom guilt after losing your patience Why your children can learn powerful lessons through your humility and repair The importance of apologizing, modeling repentance, and extending grace in motherhood How God's grace meets us in imperfect parenting moments A reminder that following Jesus isn't about pretending we have it all together If you've been feeling discouraged after a hard parenting moment, overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations, or wondering how to move forward after making mistakes as a mom, this episode will remind you that God's mercy is available here too.
