When you think about your daily habits, how many of them truly support the life you want? Many of us fall into patterns—rushing through the day, juggling work, family, and responsibilities—without stopping to consider whether those habits are actually helping us achieve the balance we’re after. We get so used to running on autopilot, focused on get…

Think about it. How many times have you replayed a situation in your mind, wishing you could have done something differently? How many times have you felt stuck because of something that happened long ago? It’s like carrying around a heavy backpack filled with old, unnecessary things that only slow you down. And yet, many of us keep lugging it arou…

We all have things that matter deeply to us—our health, our relationships, our personal growth—but when we’re overwhelmed by our to-do lists, those things can easily get pushed to the side. It’s like trying to water a garden but only focusing on the weeds. The flowers, the things that actually bring beauty and value to our lives, get neglected. Tha…

Have you ever had a day when someone’s words or actions left you feeling completely off balance like your entire mood was suddenly out of your control? Or maybe you’ve found yourself stuck in a cycle of frustration and disappointment, wondering why certain situations always seem to trigger the same negative emotions. What if the key to breaking fre…

Jealousy is one of those emotions that can sneak up on us, leaving us feeling insecure or like we’re not enough. As working moms, we already have so much on our plates, so it's even easier to fall into that trap of comparing ourselves to others who seem to have it all together. But here's something important to remember: jealousy is a completely no…

As working moms, we often face a unique blend of expectations and judgments, both from others and from ourselves. We juggle career demands, family responsibilities, and personal aspirations, all while trying to meet a set of standards that sometimes feel impossible. It’s easy to get caught up in what others think about how we manage everything, fro…

Do you struggle with setting boundaries and sticking to them? You’re not alone! This is a topic that many working moms find challenging - how to set and stick to boundaries. The thing is, we often have this misconception that boundaries are about telling people what they can or can't do. In reality, boundaries are more about what you need to do tha…

I was looking back at some of the things I’ve talked about on the podcast, and I realized there are a few topics that could really use a revisit. Especially the ones I covered early on, the ones that made a huge difference in my life and my coaching clients' lives. That’s why I decided to bring back the concept of “The Manual.” This concept has lit…

Have you ever noticed how the questions you ask yourself can shape your entire day? It’s true! From the moment we wake up, we’re constantly asking ourselves questions, whether we realize it or not. The problem is that we’re asking very disempowering questions without realizing it. For example, questions like “Why is this so hard?” or “Why aren’t th…

Although fear is very common, the truth is that a lot of us think about fear in the wrong way. We often see it as a valid reason to stop in our tracks. We say things like, "I'm scared, so I can't do this." But here’s the thing - fear is often just a sign that our minds aren’t being managed. In other words, it’s the primitive part of our brain that’…

This week I want to talk about something many accountant moms experience: your spouse might not really get what it’s like to be an accountant. They know you work hard, but they might not fully understand what your job really involves. Maybe they see you sitting at your desk, typing away at spreadsheets, or taking calls from clients, but they don’t …

One of the biggest challenges we face as working moms is the fear of being perceived as less committed or less capable because of our parenting responsibilities. This fear can often lead to under-communication, where we might hesitate to speak up about our needs or difficulties. But here's the thing: not communicating these needs doesn't make them …

As a working mom, mornings can often be the bane of our existence, especially when we have young ones. From getting the kids ready for school to preparing for a day full of accounting work, the morning hours can sometimes seem more like a chaotic race than a peaceful start to the day.

I’ve been talking to several working moms lately and have been interested in the things they’re doing that are making it difficult for them to live their best lives.

How many times have you wanted something – whether it's advancing in your career, finding more time for self-care, or achieving a better work-life balance – but never quite followed through?

Unfortunately, the societal expectations and stereotypes surrounding working moms haven’t gotten any better over the years.
