Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

The truth is, being a working mom is a balancing act that can feel impossible some days. You want to do your best at work and at home, but sometimes it feels like there just isn’t enough of you to go around. Does that sound familiar?

This is especially true as we head into the busiest season for accountants. You might already be looking at your schedule, trying to figure out how to fit it all in without shortchanging your kids. Maybe you’ve even caught yourself asking, “Am I doing enough for them?”

This week, I’m going to discuss when work feels like it’s getting in the way and finding ways to help your kids deal with having a working mom.

#348 - 5 Ways to Stop Letting Imposter Syndrome Run the Show 18:36

6 days ago18:36

18:36

No matter how smart, hardworking, or experienced you are, there’s still that little voice in your head saying, "Who do you think you are?" If you’ve ever felt like you’re just "lucky" to have your job or that one day, people will figure out you don’t really know what you’re doing, you’re not alone. This feeling has a name—imposter syndrome—and it’s way more common than you think. It’s that sneaky doubt that makes you question if you’re actually good at what you do, even when all the evidence says you are. It shows up when you hesitate to raise your rates when you overwork to prove yourself, and when you second-guess decisions you’re more than qualified to make. This week, I’m going to discuss why imposter syndrome is so common among accountant moms and how to overcome imposter syndrome. You can read the full show notes HERE…

21:06

In 2001, Lisa Druxman became a mom and an entrepreneur. She was looking for a way to blend her passion for fitness with motherhood. “I decided to create a workout that I could do with my baby,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to miss a moment of his new life but also knew that I needed to take care of myself.” Lisa created an exercise routine for new moms and realized that other mothers would benefit from working together to restore their well-being. Now she leads a business that brings exercise, companionship and support to tens of thousands of moms around the country. Stroller Strides grew over the years and added Fit4Baby (prenatal classes) and Body Well (habit-transformation program). All of the classes now make up the FIT4MOM brand. Lisa Druxman and FIT4MOM have been featured numerous times on NBC’s Today Show, CNN, The Montel Williams Show, Access Hollywood and profiled in magazines such as Entrepreneur, Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Self and more.

#346 - 5 Small Shifts to Make Your Home a “Soft Place to Fall” - For Everyone, Including You 21:18

20 days ago21:18

21:18

Let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked when life gets busy—how your home feels. I don’t mean how clean or organized it is. I mean whether it feels like a soft place to land after a long day or just another place filled with demands and noise. This matters because your home should be more than just a roof over your head or a place to crash. It should feel like the one space in the world where you can truly exhale. A place where you, and everyone you love, can let down their guard and recharge. But if we’re honest, how often does your home actually feel that way? For so many of us, it feels like another to-do list we can’t keep up with or a space filled with chaos instead of calm. What if your home could be something different? What if it could be a place where you and your family feel supported, safe, and ready to face the world again? This week, I’m going to discuss when your home feels like another job and 5 small shifts to create a “safe place to fall.” You can read the full show notes HERE…

#345 - How to Create a Working Mom Retreat You’ll Actually Enjoy 19:00

27 days ago19:00

19:00

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…

#344 - The Impact of Working Moms on Sons 20:16

5 weeks ago20:16

20:16

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.

#343 - The Impact of Working Moms on Daughters 22:50

6 weeks ago22:50

22:50

With Mother’s Day in a week, I decided that for the next two weeks I’m going to talk about the impact of working moms on daughters and on sons. This week I'm just focusing on daughters, but if you don’t have a daughter, I would still listen in because, let's face it, you are a daughter and you never know what you might discover. And if you have a daughter like I do, I want to talk about something that’s probably crossed your mind as a working mom: how your career is impacting your daughter. It’s one of those things we think about in the quiet moments, wondering if what we’re doing is helping her or holding her back. Maybe you’ve asked yourself, “Am I showing her the right example?” Or, “Does she feel like I’m not there enough?” These questions can feel heavy because, let’s be honest, being a mom comes with its own suitcase of guilt, and working just seems to add more to it. But here’s the thing: the impact you’re having on your daughter might be more powerful than you realize. It’s not just about how many hours you’re home or how many soccer practices you make it to—it’s about what she’s seeing and learning from you every single day. This week, I’m going to discuss how working moms shape ambition and confidence in daughters, and how to balance challenges and build a stronger connection. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#342 - The Best Time Management Habits For Working Moms 22:45

7 weeks ago22:45

22:45

Being a working mom can feel like a never-ending juggling act. When my children were younger, I remember that some days, it was like no matter how early I woke up or how much I planned, there was still too much to do and not enough time to do it. I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way. You start the day with the best intentions, but by the time it’s over, you’re wondering where all the hours went and why you still feel behind. It’s exhausting. And let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, you’re just barely keeping your head above water. The problem isn’t that we’re not doing enough. The problem is that we’re doing too much of the wrong things and not enough of what actually helps. This week, I’m going to discuss why it feels like there’s never enough time and the best time management habits for working moms. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#341 - How To Organize Your Life With Better Systems 19:33

8 weeks ago19:33

19:33

What if you could wake up knowing exactly what needed to get done instead of feeling like you were already behind? What if you could make life run more smoothly without adding more to your plate? The good news is, setting up better systems isn’t complicated. You don’t need fancy planners, expensive apps, or hours of extra time. All you need is a simple way to organize things so that your brain isn’t working overtime trying to remember everything. Once you have that, life gets easier—without you having to work harder. This week, I’m going to discuss why life feels disorganized and how to organize your life with better systems. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#340 - Finding Your Tribe - The Importance Of Friendships As A Busy Working Mom 22:53

9 weeks ago22:53

22:53

Think about the last time you laughed so hard with a friend that it felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders. When was the last time you felt truly understood without having to explain yourself? These are the kinds of connections that can keep us grounded, even when life feels chaotic. Yet, for so many moms, it feels like friendships belong in the “someday” pile—the pile of things we’ll get to once everything else is done. But let’s be honest: when is everything ever done? What if finding your tribe isn’t about adding something else to your to-do list but about enriching the life you’re already living? What if it’s about realizing that connection doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming—it just has to be intentional? Friendships aren’t just a luxury for when you have extra time (does that even exist?). They’re a lifeline, a source of energy and comfort, and they can help you be the best version of yourself—for you and everyone else who depends on you. This week, I’m going to discuss why it feels so hard to maintain friendships when you’re a busy working mom and how building meaningful relationships doesn’t have to be complicated.

#339 - Dealing with Judgment and Criticism as a Working Mom 19:59

10 weeks ago19:59

19:59

Have you ever left work at a reasonable time to pick up your kids and felt like you were being silently—or not so silently—judged? Maybe a coworker makes a snide comment, or you get that look from someone as if to say, “Must be nice to leave early.” The thing is, juggling work and family is already hard enough without feeling like you’re under a microscope. You’re trying to do your best for your family and your career, but somehow, it never feels like enough. It’s exhausting, and it can leave you second-guessing yourself constantly. Why is it that judgment from others, or even ourselves, can hit so hard? Why does one comment, one glance, or even one unspoken assumption stick with us for hours—or days? It’s almost like our brains are wired to take every criticism and use it as proof that we’re not doing enough. This week, I’m going to discuss why judgment and criticism feel so heavy and how to take back control. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#338 - When You're Stuck In A Job You Can't Quit Right Now 21:05

11 weeks ago21:05

21:05

Let’s talk about what it’s like to feel stuck in a job you can’t quit. It’s one of those things that can weigh on you every single day, making it hard to focus on anything else. You might feel like you’re just going through the motions, clocking in and out, while wishing things could be different. Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I have no choice,” or “It’s just how things are right now.” If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not alone. So many people, especially moms balancing work and family, feel trapped in a job because the idea of leaving isn’t even on the table. But what does “stuck” really mean? Is it your circumstances that are keeping you there, or could it be something else entirely? This week, I’m going to discuss why you feel stuck and how to empower yourself when you can’t quit right now. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#337 - Why Every Working Mom Should Write a Reverse Bucket List 19:44

12 weeks ago19:44

19:44

Have you ever thought about all the things you’ve done in the past year alone? Not just the big milestones but the small victories that probably felt insignificant at the time but added up to something incredible. Sometimes, we need a little nudge to stop and acknowledge ourselves. That’s where the idea of a Reverse Bucket List comes in—a simple way to see your life through a more compassionate and celebratory lens. So, here’s my question for you: If you wrote down all the moments you’re proud of, what would you discover about yourself? Would you see a woman who’s been doing far more than she gives herself credit for? This isn’t about adding one more thing to your to-do list or finding yet another way to measure your success. It’s about giving yourself the credit you deserve and feeling proud of the life you’ve built so far. This week, I’m going to discuss the problem of forgetting to pause and reflect and the transformative power of a Reverse Bucket List. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#336 - What To Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck On Repeat 21:30

13 weeks ago21:30

21:30

Have you ever noticed how your brain can latch onto a single thought and refuse to let go? Maybe it’s replaying an awkward moment, overthinking something you said, or obsessing about what someone else might be thinking. It’s like a broken record, looping over and over, and no matter how hard you try, it just won’t stop. This kind of mental replay can be exhausting. It’s not just draining your energy—it’s stealing your time and focus too. You sit there, caught up in the loop, wishing your brain had an “off” switch. But the harder you try to push the thought away, the louder it seems to get. Why does this happen? Why does your brain decide to cling so tightly to something, even when you don’t want it to? This week, I’m going to discuss why thought loops happen, how to recognize and redirect thought loops, and my personal example of breaking a thought loop. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#335 - The Power of Minimalism For Working Moms 22:13

14 weeks ago22:13

22:13

As moms and accountants, we often feel like we’re always running to keep up. There are deadlines to meet, kids to care for, and piles of things—both literal and figurative—demanding our attention. It’s easy to feel stretched thin and wonder if there’s another way. What if simplifying your surroundings could make life feel more manageable? What if letting go of the unnecessary could give you more time, energy, and peace of mind? Think about how much better you feel when you walk into a clean, organized room. Or how much more productive you are when your desk is free of distractions. Minimalism is about creating more of those moments—more calm, more focus, and more space for what truly matters. This week, I’m going to discuss when ‘more’ becomes too much and embracing minimalism for clarity and control. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#334 - How to Build Unshakable Self-Confidence 24:02

15 weeks ago24:02

24:02

Have you ever wished that self-doubt would disappear and you'd be able to do what you want, when you want? Well, what if self-confidence isn’t something you have to earn, but something you can create right now? Many people wait for external validation—like a promotion or praise—before feeling confident, but that approach keeps confidence just out of reach. True self-confidence isn’t about knowing everything or proving yourself first; it’s about trusting your ability to figure things out along the way. Instead of waiting to feel ready, consider that confidence is what helps you achieve your goals, not the other way around. This week, I’m going to discuss the confidence trap: waiting for permission and shifting the focus: building confidence from within. You can read the full show notes HERE…

16 weeks ago23:37

23:37

Have you ever stopped to think about the things you’re doing now that once felt completely out of reach? It’s amazing how often we achieve things we didn’t think we could—until we actually did. Maybe it’s juggling work and motherhood when you used to wonder how anyone did both. Or maybe it’s tackling a job you once thought you weren’t qualified for, managing a household during chaotic weeks, or handling a tough situation you never imagined you’d get through. But here’s the thing: how often do we stop to give ourselves credit for those wins? How often do we pause to think, “Wow, I did something I thought I couldn’t do” ? Most of us don’t. We just move on to the next challenge, the next to-do, or the next big goal. This week, I’m going to discuss how doubt isn’t the obstacle to doing the impossible and how to believe in yourself, not just the goal. You can read the full show notes HERE…

#332 - Why You Should Practice New Thoughts And How To Do It 22:06

17 weeks ago22:06

22:06

Have you ever noticed how some thoughts just keep popping up, even when you’re not trying to think them? It’s like they’re on autopilot, running quietly in the background while you go about your day. And it’s not just the good thoughts, either. It’s often the worries, the doubts, and those sneaky self-criticisms that feel like they’ve set up camp in our minds. As moms, we juggle so much, and it can feel like our minds are always full. We’ve got thoughts about the kids, work, our relationships, and that never-ending list of things we feel we should be doing better. And even if we try to focus on the positive, those familiar thoughts seem to stick around, don’t they? The good news is that we can change this. We can create new ways of thinking and start shifting our focus toward things that empower us rather than hold us back. But it does take a little intention and patience. This week, I’m going to discuss why our thoughts keep us stuck and how to move toward new thoughts. You can read the full show notes HERE…

What if I told you there’s a hidden factor behind why some days feel productive while others feel like a constant battle? It’s not time management strategies or fancy apps—it’s your emotions. Think about it—have you ever felt scattered, struggling to focus, only to realize later it was because of stress? Or felt guilty about work-life balance, and that guilt kept distracting you? These emotions steal our time and energy without us even noticing. If we want to get more done in less time, we have to acknowledge the role emotions play. Time management tools are great, but they don’t stand a chance if we’re weighed down by stress. This week, I’m going to discuss how unproductive emotions sabotage productivity and how to take control of unproductive emotions and get more done in less time.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with someone and felt this weird mix of guilt, frustration, or even self-doubt, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on why? Maybe it was something subtle, like a comment that left you wondering if you’ve somehow let them down. Or maybe they just hinted that you should be doing something differently, and suddenly, you’re questioning yourself. I think we’ve all been there – those moments when someone’s words stick with us in a way that doesn’t feel good but feels hard to shake off. That’s what emotional manipulation can feel like. It’s sneaky, and most of us don’t realize what’s happening until we’ve been pulled into it. This week, I’m going to discuss the hidden problem of emotional manipulation, taking back control and setting boundaries, and practical ways to strengthen your boundaries.

Have you ever wished you had just a little extra space in your life? Not more things to do, but more room to do them—more breathing room between tasks, more time to pause, and more energy left at the end of the day? If that idea sounds like a distant dream, you’re in good company. For so many working moms, especially those of us in demanding professions like accounting, the concept of having space in your life can feel like a luxury you just don’t have. But what if creating this kind of space—what I call creating “margin”—was actually within reach? What if it was more about small, intentional changes than a massive overhaul? This week, I’m going to discuss the concept of “creating margin” and the 4 C’s for creating margin in your life. You can read the full show notes HERE…

It’s one of those topics that can stir up a mix of emotions: guilt, worry, and maybe even a little pride. If you’ve ever wondered how to make things easier for your kids when you’re busy, you’re in good company. The truth is, being a working mom is a balancing act that can feel impossible some days. You want to do your best at work and at home, but sometimes it feels like there just isn’t enough of you to go around. Does that sound familiar?

22 weeks ago25:10

25:10

We’ve all been there: a day packed with tasks, meetings, and responsibilities, yet somehow, at the end of it, we’re left wondering, “What did I actually accomplish?” You’re putting out fires all day long, crossing items off your to-do list, but there’s still that nagging feeling that you didn’t touch the things that truly matter—those goals that feel just out of reach. No matter how hard you work, the important things seem to keep getting pushed to tomorrow, next week, or even further down the road. And it’s exhausting. The truth is, it’s not because you’re not working hard enough. It’s because the way we’ve been taught to think about goals and productivity is broken. Life is full of distractions—emails to answer, last-minute client needs, unexpected interruptions—all of which make it feel like you’re constantly on the go but never actually getting closer to where you want to be. This week, I’m going to discuss why we’re stuck in the busyness trap, the difference between regular goals and “Do Goals,” and how to shift from busy to productive with "Do Goals."

As working moms, we juggle so much—careers, families, relationships, and personal goals. It’s easy to feel like real change is out of reach. But here’s the thing: the problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough. It’s that most of us focus on what we do—our habits or routines—without addressing what’s driving them. The truth is, lasting change doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from understanding the why behind your actions. Without addressing what’s happening beneath the surface, it’s like trying to fix a leaky faucet by mopping the floor. So, as we start a new year, I want you to approach things differently. Forget just setting more goals. Let’s focus on the foundation—the thoughts, feelings, and actions that create real change. Once you understand how to manage those, everything else becomes easier. This week, I’m going to why change feels so hard, how to change your life in 12 Months—one step at a time and a 12-month roadmap for lasting change. You can read the full show notes HERE…

As a working mom, it’s easy to feel like you’re juggling a million things at once—work deadlines, family obligations, holiday preparations, and somehow trying to squeeze in a little time for yourself. It can often feel like no matter how much you do, there’s always something left on your to-do list, and with that comes the sneaky feeling that you should be doing more. Sound familiar? But here’s the thing: as moms, we often forget to step back and recognize everything we’ve already accomplished. We can be so focused on what’s next—what needs to be done, where we need to go, who we need to help—that we rarely give ourselves credit for what we’ve already handled. This week, I’m going to discuss why we struggle to feel proud of ourselves and how to start feeling proud right now. You can download the full show notes HERE…

e’ve all been there—whether it’s a coworker, a family member, or even a fellow parent, some people just seem to drain our energy. As a working mom, your plate is already overflowing, and dealing with people who constantly bring negativity or stress into your life can feel like the last straw. It’s tempting to call these individuals “toxic” and hope that avoiding them will make things better. But have you ever noticed that even when you distance yourself, they still seem to occupy space in your mind? The truth is that the term “toxic” gets thrown around a lot these days. We use it to describe people whose behavior makes us feel uncomfortable, angry, or even downright miserable. But what if I told you there’s no such thing as a toxic person? Stay with me here—it might sound strange, but this perspective could actually make your life a whole lot easier. This week, I’m going to answer the question, “Are they really toxic, or are you just triggered?” and discuss how to take back control and handle your reactions.

You know what I mean—those moments when your brain is running a marathon, but you're stuck at the starting line, feeling overwhelmed and unsure. One minute, you're thinking about something small, like forgetting to send an email, and the next thing you know, you've convinced yourself that your entire week is ruined. This, my friends, is what we call "mind drama." When we typically talk about drama, we often picture people stirring up trouble—gossiping, making mountains out of molehills, or dragging everyone into some kind of unnecessary chaos.

Mind drama happens in your own head—it’s the endless spiral of thoughts and emotions that can make small issues feel overwhelming. It feels real because it’s in your brain, but it’s just your mind spinning stories without solving anything.

Have you ever really thought about whether your job defines who you are—or if it’s just one part of your life? It’s not something we usually stop to think about, but it’s a big question, isn’t it?

Picture this for a second: if your job title disappeared tomorrow, who would you be? Would you feel lost, like a piece of you was missing? Or would you still know your worth, deep down? These kinds of questions can feel a little uncomfortable, but they’re so important. They help us separate what we do from who we are. Because honestly, you’re so much more than just the tasks you check off your to-do list or the title on your business card. This week, I’m going to look at whether you’re more than your job title, how to reconnect with the person behind your resume, and how to live authentically in all the roles you play.
