Hi Mamas, If you've ever tried to run a Zoom call while cutting grapes, negotiating peace during a toddler tantrum, and pointing wildly to a "quiet!" sign taped to your door... this one's for you.

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about the challenges facing working moms. Are you struggling to balance your professional ambitions with the demands of home life? Wondering if it's even possible to stay in the workforce without burning out or stepping back? My guest this week is Kathryn Sollmann, career coach and author of The Four Jobs Club. Kathryn is on a mission to keep women in the workforce—and in this conversation, she shares practical, compassionate advice for doing just that.

Whether you're re-entering the workforce, contemplating a career pivot, or just trying to stay afloat, this episode is a powerful reminder that you have more options—and more power—than you think.About My GuestKathryn Sollmann, Speaker, Coach and Author, has made it her mission to keep women working toward financial security in a flexible way—alongside child and aging parent caregiving roles.

Support AND/BOTH: Help us offset production costs while we're growingIn today's roundtable episode, Ashley and Erin chat with two women building deeply human solutions for working moms: Kate Tovsen, founder of The Society of Working Moms and Kate Tovsen Media, and Alli Kushner, founder of BeeKyn, a soon-to-launch playdate matching and scheduling platform for modern families.This honest, wide-ranging discussion explores why loneliness is a shared, but rarely talked about part of motherhood, especially for those balancing careers, businesses, and caregiving.

On today's episode of Become A Calm Mama, I have 2 guests - Angie and Megan - co-founders of Front Row Moms. We're talking about what it means to be a working mom, as well as the benefits and obstacles to being a working parent. You'll Learn:What “having it all” actually meansMindset shifts to relieve mom guilt4 strategies for managing overwhelm as a working momWhy empowerment is better than perfectionWhether you are a working mom out of choice or necessity, I know you'll get some helpful tips and lots of encouragement from our conversation. (And if you're not a working mom, stick around anyway, because there are some great life management and mindset tips in here for you, too.)--------------------------------------------Meet the Front Row MomsAngie Macdougall and Megan Corey are the powerhouse duo behind Front Row Moms, a dynamic community redefining what it means for women to “have it all” — with heart, health, and high impact.Angie, a mom of two teens, ages 16 and 19,, thrives on being active year-round in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. With over 28 years of leadership at Vector Marketing/Cutco Cutlery, she has recruited and trained thousands, becoming the first woman in the company's history to balance an executive role with motherhood. Megan Corey is a mom of two boys, ages 10 and 11, and the CEO of 4CORE. As she moved up the chain and was being groomed for a senior leadership role in her previous job, she realized that it didn't feel right. She didn't want the burnt out, stressed out, work-first-and-forget-about-family kind of life. So she started her own consulting company where she's known for simplifying complexity, fostering strategic alliances, and building impactful communities. Angie shares that her biggest fear used to be that she'd have to quit a job she loved in order to be a mom. At that time, she didn't have an example in her company to look up to. Her journey of navigating career and family inspired her to seek and create a community of women who support one another in embracing life's challenges and opportunities. Together, Megan and Angie created Front Row Moms to be the kind of community they craved — one where women could grow without guilt, connect deeply, and support one another in every season of life. The Myth of Work Life BalanceLots of working moms feel the pressure to “balance it all”. Balance isn't an end point you reach, it's a constant process of shifting priorities and time. Megan says, “We don't have to be doing all the things all the time 100%.” She and Angie are redefining what “having it all” actually looks like. Angie believes that one solution is looking at results over how long it takes to get something done. You may not be able to fit into the traditional 9-5 schedule, but you can still be counted on to complete tasks and projects. Working from home adds in some unique challenges, as well. When Mom is at home but not available, it can be confusing to kids. In this case, setting clear expectations and boundaries ahead of time is so important. And sometimes, going into the office actually allows you to be more present with whatever it is you're focused on at the time. Each woman has to define “balance” for herself. What does “having it all” look like for YOU, in this stage of life? It's not always going to be the same. And it probably won't look like your favorite Instagram feed or your friend's idea of balance. Dealing with Mom GuiltThere can be so much guilt that comes with being a...

When Neha Ruch left her high-powered career to become a stay-at-home mom, she didn't see it as stepping back—she saw it as stepping into something deeper. In this episode, Neha, founder of The Power Pause and author of the book by the same name, shares how embracing a career pause led her to a more grounded, intentional version of ambition. She talks candidly about identity shifts in motherhood, the surprising ways her family has grown from her presence at home, and how we can all challenge hustle culture in favor of something more meaningful. This is a conversation for anyone navigating the messy, beautiful in-between of motherhood and self.

Hi Mamas, In this week's episode, I open up about one of the most overlooked but emotionally loaded challenges of working mom life: making new friends as an adult. If you've ever felt like everyone already has their circle... or you've wondered, “How do I even begin to build real friendships at this stage of life?” …you are not alone. From juggling work deadlines, school drop-offs, and never-ending laundry to managing social anxiety and feeling awkward at PTA events, adult friendship often feels like something reserved for another life phase… one we're too busy to revisit. I share.. My personal story of struggling with connection after moving to a new town The invisible walls we build as busy moms (and how to take them down) How friendship ties directly into mental health, work-life balance, and your overall happiness A breakdown of why adult friendship is so difficult… from logistics and vulnerability to unrealistic expectations 10 practical tips to find, build, and nurture meaningful friendships… without needing hours of free time or superhuman energy You'll also learn: How to use Facebook groups and community events to find like-minded moms near you The mindset shift that changes everything when it comes to putting yourself out there Why you don't need a giant friend group—just a few soul-filling connections What it looks like to be brave enough to go first, even when you feel like the outsider Whether you're new in town, starting a new season, or just tired of doing life without your people… this episode is your reminder that you're worthy of deep, life-giving friendships, and that it's not too late to find them. Feeling encouraged by today's episode?

Feeling stretched thin trying to do it all? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive into why asking for help can feel so hard—especially for working moms—and how learning to do it well can change everything. From mindset shifts to practical scripts and real-life examples, you'll walk away with the tools and confidence to ask for (and accept) support from the small everyday things to the season of life where you really can't go it all yourself. If you're tired of carrying the weight alone, this episode is for you.   ==========================  

Hey mama, Today's episode is a little heart-to-heart, inspired by one of you. A listener reached out and saying she's struggling with making friends as a working mom... and it hit me deep. So we're diving all the way in this week! Let's be real…making friends as a grown woman is just plain awkward. It's not like when we were little and you could walk up on the playground and say, “Wanna be friends?” and that was that. Now it takes courage, intentionality, and a whole lot of emotional energy we don't always have left at the end of a long day.  In this episode, I'm sharing a quote that really hit me: 
“Friendships in adulthood don't happen by accident. They happen because someone was brave enough to go first.” — Danielle Bayard Jackson Most of us are walking around hoping someone will reach out, invite us, start the conversation… while we sit quietly convincing ourselves that we'd be bothering someone if we did. But mama…what if you were the one who went first? Here's what you'll hear: • Why friendship feels harder as a working mom • The biggest myths about adult friendships • How I got out of my own way and started connecting with other moms • A mindset shift if you've been feeling too “busy” or “late” to make new friends • A simple challenge to help you build real connection this week

Welcome back y'all. This solo episode of Being Different is going to be about problems AND solutions. I've been thinking about the differences between stay at home moms versus working moms. And I'm going to share my ideas for a new outdoor play program at my son's school.Look, I've been on both sides of the situation. I have worked 60-70 hour weeks, closing high pressure deals and now I'm a stay at home mom with three kids. I don't like that people make that distinction because being a stay at home mom, in my opinion, is every bit as hard as being a working mom. It's just a different kind of hard - but it's relentless and it's never ending, and it's thankless and you're not getting paid.Also, we've got to make some changes in school priorities for our kids. It's so important for children to have free play, risk-taking opportunities, and less helicopter parenting. Tune in to find out how I plan to make it happen...- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Hi Mamas, With summer creeping up, it's easy to feel like the season just happens to us. One minute you're dreaming of family picnics and slow mornings… and the next, it's August and you're wondering where all the time went. In this episode I share her heartfelt, practical framework for designing a summer that's aligned with your energy, your season of life, and your family's values. Because you don't need a Pinterest-perfect summer to create real, lasting memories… you just need a plan that works for you.

If you've ever looked at another mom and thought, “How on earth does she work full-time, chase kids, and stay fit?”—this chat is for you. I'm sitting down with my friend Courtney Hendricks, mom of two high-energy boys, 9-to-5 HR professional, and self-proclaimed gym lover who somehow makes space for strength training without letting anything (or anyone) fall through the cracks. Here's what we unpack: Micro-workouts that actually add up Sneaky protein tricks even picky eaters don't notice Why she ditched perfect and started aiming for done—and the mindset shift that freed her from mom-guilt How she flexes her workout split in every season Food tracking: when a quick log helps, and when it's one more plate you don't need to spin The magic of strength training for women   

41. A powerful story about burnout, boundaries, and reclaiming your life. It's Mental Health Awareness Month—and let's be real: for moms, May might just be the most mentally exhausting month of the year. Talent shows. Awards ceremonies. Prom. Final projects. Finals. You name it—May has it. I'm in the thick of it. My daughter's graduating in mere weeks, and the calendar is jam-packed with celebration and emotion, stretching me very thin. That is exactly why we're revisiting this powerful conversation. In this episode, I sat down with Work Muse clients Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska, whose job share was born from the toll of a demanding job on Mary Kaye's health and a deep need for change. Mary Kaye hit a wall, and instead of pushing through, she got honest about what she needed… and did something about it. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why burnout isn't just about stress—it's about unsustainable systemsHow Mary Kaye and Sommer created a job share arrangement that saved her career and wellbeingWhy job sharing is a practical AND powerful solution for long-term healthHow you can use job sharing to build in boundaries, breathing room, and balanceA doctor's sage advice for longevity and a young mother's determination to find more time for her children and homestead might have been the impetus. However, job sharing led both Mary Kaye and Sommer to enjoy other parts of life society "doesn't deem as worthy" like exploring passions such as writing and being truly present with one's children and self. If you're feeling the weight of it all—this one's for you. Especially if you've ever whispered to yourself, “There has to be a better way…” There is. And this episode shows you what it can look like. It may just be the wake-up call you need to consider sharing your job.Links mentioned:Work Muse Guide to Job Sharing (Free Guide)Job Share, Live Life + Slay Work Facebook GroupDM me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/41Transcript here.Send Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

Hi Mamas, Hey mama, happy Monday! Welcome back to another Monday Mindset episode…. your weekly pep talk to reset, refocus, and breathe deep before the chaos kicks in! Today's mindset shift? A little reminder wrapped in a quote: "The magic of summer isn't in the schedule — it's in the slow, sacred moments." Let that sink in... If you're already feeling the pressure to curate a Pinterest-perfect summer with bucket lists, pool days, and perfectly color-coded calendars…. this one's for you. Because here's the truth: We don't need to do more to create magic. We just need to notice more. In this short and powerful episode, I'm walking you through: The hustle we unknowingly bring into summer Why our kids don't need a “fun mom” — they need a present one What sacred moments really look like (hint: it's not another craft) Your simple mindset challenge for the week that will shift how you feel this summer… not just how it looks Let's ditch the pressure, reclaim the peace, and create a summer that feels good in your bones. ✨ Because you don't have to earn slow. You just have to choose it.

Life as a working mom can be nonstop, can't it? There's always another task, another deadline, another person who needs your attention. Somewhere in the chaos, it's easy to lose sight of what makes you feel good. Maybe you've thought about taking a break or even dreamed of a spa day or a quiet weekend, but the idea fades because it feels like too much effort—or too much to ask. Here's the thing: it's not about the retreat being perfect or extravagant. It's about creating a moment for yourself that feels meaningful. Something that lets you breathe, recharge, and reconnect with what you need. But how do you even begin to make that happen? This week, I'm going to discuss why we rarely take time for ourselves as working moms and how to create a retreat that feels possible and perfect for you. You can read the full show notes HERE

Are you exhausted from trying to control (or manage) everyone and everything around you? That's so easy to do with all of our career & motherhood responsibilities. We think: if only everyone complied, they'd all be happier and everything would go so much smoother! In this quick journaling session, we're applying Mel Robbins' viral "Let Them Theory" specifically to your life as a busy, overwhelmed, working mom.If you find yourself constantly drained by trying to manage your boss's expectations, your partner's household contributions, and your children's behavior all at once - these prompts will help you reclaim your energy and focus on what you actually can control.✨ In this episode, you'll discover:How to identify where your precious energy is being wastedA permission slip framework that changes your relationship with controlHow to create boundaries that actually work (without trying to control others)Journal Prompts Included:Think of one relationship or situation that consistently drains your energy. What specific expectation do you have that isn't being met? Now complete this phrase: "If I truly let them be who they are in this situation, I could redirect my energy toward..."Write yourself a permission slip that begins with "I give myself permission to let them..." followed by the specific behavior you're trying to control. Then add "And instead, I will..." with one small concrete action that serves your wellbeing.Identify one area where you've been trying to control others rather than setting a boundary. Write down: What I've been trying to change + What I can actually control + The exact words I'll use to express my boundary.Resources Mentioned:FREE Calm Mind Blueprint: My 5-day journaling challenge to go from overwhelm to inner peace, with daily prompts and voice guidance via private podcast.

In this first installment of my 3-part series, I'm breaking down how to actually apply the Let Them Theory to your chaotic working mom life to reclaim your precious energy.As working moms, we're literally paid to manage things while simultaneously be responsible for small humans who need constant guidance. It's no wonder the concept of "letting them" feels impossible to implement!

Here's the thing—your son is always watching, even when it doesn't seem like it. He's noticing how you juggle work, family, and all the other responsibilities on your plate.  He's paying attention to how you handle tough moments, how you celebrate wins, and how you show up every single day. What do you think he's learning from all of that? We often think about the messages we're sending to our daughters, but our sons are soaking up just as much. Have you ever stopped to wonder what he's learning about women by watching you? Or how seeing you work hard might shape the kind of partner or leader he'll be one day? And it's not just about what you're doing—it's about what you're showing him is possible. By pursuing your career while raising a family, you're setting an example of strength and capability that he'll carry with him for the rest of his life. How do you think that might change the way he sees the roles of men and women in the world? This week, I'm going to discuss modeling respect, equality, and emotional intelligence for our sons as well as teaching resilience, work ethic, and the value of connection.

How might public policy positively impact our drastically declining birth rate?President Trump has suggested that all new parents receive a one-time $5,000 payout in the hopes of encouraging people to have more children. You likely had some kind of strong reaction to this statement. Whether that was surprise at a Republican recommending a social support, concern about forcing people to have more kids, or annoyance at how insignificant an amount is on the table—you're definitely not alone. It's clear that people are having fewer babies these days. But it's the reasons behind this fact that are sometimes in question and need to be addressed. In this episode, I take a closer look at, and share my thoughts on, how policy has—and potentially could—impact plummeting birth rates in the U.S. and beyond. Consider the interplay between public policy and early childhood care, including:The statistical divide between how many kids women want and how many they're having;The glaring problems that get in the way of having children in today's economy;The family-friendly policies we've seen proposed, passed, and tabled til now;How far we need to take these initiatives if we want to reverse the birth rate decline.Related Links:Episode 479, America's Parents Are Not Okay - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode479Episode 489, How the Cost of Childcare Has Become a Workforce Issue - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode489Episode 495, New Prenatal Leave Law Benefits Pregnant Workers in New York - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode495Episode 451, The Impact of Return-To-Office Mandates on Working Moms - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode451Senior Living News, Help Address the Population's ‘Inverted Pyramid' - https://www.seniorlivingnews.com/help-address-the-populations-inverted-pyramid/New York Times, American Women Are Having Fewer Children Than They'd Like - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/upshot/american-fertility-is-falling-short-of-what-women-want.htmlNew York Times, Stay-at-Home Parents Work Hard.
