    S7EP6: Finding Your Radiance and Reclaiming Your Identity with Gloria Synn
    Jul 1 2026
    Top 3 Reasons This Episode Is for You You've been taking care of everyone else first— and you're tired. If you've ever felt like your whole identity is built around what you give to everyone else, this conversation is going to hit home. Executive coach Gloria Synn opens up about her own journey from performing the role of the "perfect daughter" to learning what it actually means to live from a place of radiance and she'll help you start to recognize the patterns that might be keeping you stuck, too.You know you're more than your job title, your role as mom, or your family's expectations but figuring out who you are beyond those labels? That's the part nobody talks about. Gloria walks us through the challenging, beautiful process of discovering your core essence when you strip away everything the world told you that you should be.You don't need a huge life makeover to start feeling like yourself again. Gloria shares one of the most grounding tools she recommends for working moms who've lost themselves: 15 minutes. That's it. You'll learn how to tune into what's pulling you toward growth — rather than spinning out on the endless list of what you should be doing. Episode Summary You know that moment when someone holds up a mirror and what you see — stops you in your tracks? That's exactly what happened to executive coach Gloria Synn when her son described her, for a school project, with one word: sadness. That gut-punch moment was the turning point that changed everything for her. And in this episode of the Empowered Working Mom Revolution, Gloria and I get into all of it — the sacrifice, the people-pleasing, the identity crisis that comes when you've spent your whole life being who everyone else needed you to be. Gloria grew up navigating a lot of change, moving from Korea to Argentina to America, all between the ages of five and seven. That kind of early experience shapes you. For Gloria, it shaped her into the "perfect daughter," someone who absorbed her mother's sadness and made it her job to fix it. Sound familiar? So many of us learned early on that our worth was tied to how well we could take care of everyone around us — and we've been living off that playbook ever since. Here's what we dig into together: Surrender isn't giving up — it's opening your hands. Gloria describes the shift from grasping to trusting as one of the most powerful moves she's made. A health crisis during the pandemic forced her to get honest about what well-being actually means when you're not running from obligation to obligation. Spoiler: it doesn't look like pushing harder.Who are you when you take the labels away? This is the question Gloria lives and coaches from. We talk about how hard it is to introduce yourself outside of your roles — mom, wife, employee, executive — and what it takes to get underneath all of that and find your actual self. Radiance isn't a reward. It's not something you earn after you've checked every box, raised every kid, and hit every professional milestone. As Gloria puts it, your radiance is a byproduct of being fully present and aligned with who you actually are. And one of the simplest places to start? Sit with the discomfort. Check in with yourself. Notice what's pulling you — not what you feel like you should be doing. Gloria's own non-negotiable? A 15-minute evening walk. One small, consistent act of coming back to herself.My Radiance — Gloria's upcoming group coaching program. Gloria also shares what she's building next: a group coaching experience launching in September, designed to create a safe, intentional space for women to explore their untold stories, their patterns, and their deepest desires. It's rooted in community and honoring lineage — two things that are deeply personal to her story. This is one of those conversations that'll have you wanting to reconnect to your own radiance. .

  • S7EP5: Courage, Identity, and Starting Over: A Conversation with Raihana Ali-Aggarwal

    S7EP5: Courage, Identity, and Starting Over: A Conversation with Raihana Ali-Aggarwal
    Jun 24 2026
    The Top 3 Reasons Why This Episode Is for You You'll be inspired by a story of real courage and identity that might just hit you right in the heart. Identity and transitions coach Raihana Ali-Aggarwal opens up about her decision to wear a hijab in 2015 — and how that single, deeply personal choice gave her an inner clarity and strength she hadn't expected. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to fully own who you are — even when others are watching and judging — this one's for you.If you're in the middle of a major life transition — a layoff, a career pivot, becoming a new parent — and you're desperately trying to "get back to normal," this episode will reframe everything. Raihana shares a powerful identity framework for stripping away the external titles and roles we hide behind, so you can reconnect with who you actually are at your core. Spoiler: you don't need to go back to normal. You get to go forward as yourself.You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on what self-care actually means for working moms. Raihana introduces the concept of sensory wellness — and y'all, this one was mind blowing. Managing the overstimulation of modern life isn't a luxury, it's a practice. Learn how building in intentional pauses and moments of de-stimulation can help you stop operating on autopilot and start making decisions that actually align with who you are. Episode Summary This episode is a conversation I know you're going to love. I sat down with identity and transitions coach Raihana Ali-Aggarwal to talk about something so many working moms quietly struggle with — how do you stay true to yourself when life is asking you to make some major changes? Raihana brings her whole heart to this conversation. She shares her deeply personal story of choosing to wear a hijab in 2015, and how that act of bold faith — despite the external judgment that came with it — became one of the most empowering decisions of her life. Her story is a powerful reminder that owning your identity, fully and unapologetically, is one of the most courageous things you can do as a woman navigating life on your own terms. We also dive deep into what it really means to navigate a major life transition — whether that's recovering from a layoff, stepping into a new chapter of parenthood, or any other moment that leaves you asking who am I now? Raihana offers a beautiful identity framework for separating your sense of self from the external roles and titles that used to define you — so you can move forward instead of holding onto something that was never meant to define who you truly are. And because self-work is never one-and-done, Raihana introduces a dimension of wellness that working moms don't hear enough about: sensory wellness. In a world that's constantly competing for our attention, she shares why building in intentional pauses and moments of de-stimulation isn't optional — it's essential for showing up as the leader, mother, and woman you want to be. This episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and equipped. Come ready to noodle on some big questions about identity, courage, and what it really means to thrive — not just survive — in the middle of change.

  • S7EP4: From Tech Career to Coaching: Mo Fong on Empathy-Led Leadership, the Big Rocks Strategy, and Asking for What You Want

    S7EP4: From Tech Career to Coaching: Mo Fong on Empathy-Led Leadership, the Big Rocks Strategy, and Asking for What You Want
    Jun 10 2026
    3 REASONS THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU Lead with empathy and create the psychological safety your team actually needs. Mo Fong walked away from a technology career to follow a deeper calling — and what she discovered along the way will hit you right in the heart. This conversation unpacks what it really means to lead with empathy, and why prioritizing the person in front of you over the task on your to-do list is the secret to building a team that truly thrives. If you've ever wondered how to foster psychological safety without sacrificing performance, this one's for you. Struggling to manage all your big dreams? Enter the Big Rocks strategy. You know that moment when you have so many goals swirling around in your head — writing a book, raising your kids, building your career — and none of it feels manageable? Mo gets it. As a self-described hyper-achiever, she shares the "Big Rocks" strategy: a simple but powerful way to identify your most meaningful long-term goals and make daily progress that actually moves the needle. Just sit with that for a minute — small, consistent actions do add up to something extraordinary. Get practical, real-world advice on pivoting your career and asking for what you want — even when fear gets in the way. Here's what I know for sure: imposter syndrome doesn't have to stop you from communicating your ambitions and creating new opportunities. Mo shares a coaching technique that will change how you think about rejection — role-play the worst-case scenario, reframe rejection as data, and watch your fear start to lose its grip. Whether you're navigating a major career pivot or just trying to ask for something you deserve, this conversation gives you the tools to do it. EPISODE SUMMARY You know that moment when you look at your career and think, Is this really it? Is there something more I'm supposed to be doing? That's exactly where Mo found herself before making a bold pivot from technology into coaching — and the wisdom she carries from that journey is fire. In this episode, Mo and I dive deep into what empathy-led leadership actually looks like in practice, and why psychological safety isn't a "nice to have" — it's the foundation of every high-performing team. For all the hyper-achievers out there (you know who you are!), Mo introduces the "Big Rocks" strategy: a methodology for managing long-term goals like authorship, parenting, and career growth through small, intentional daily actions that make even the biggest milestones feel within reach. We also get real about the fear of asking — and Mo shares a coaching approach that will help you reframe rejection as valuable data instead of a dead end. Whether you're dreaming of a career pivot, struggling with imposter syndrome, or simply ready to start advocating for yourself with more confidence, this conversation is your sign. You can do hard things. And you don't have to do them alone. Now grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let's dive in.
