  • 98 - sharpening your axe: a summer pause update
    May 27 2025

    In this short and honest update, I’m sharing why I’ve decided to take a summer break from the podcast — and how a simple story about a man with an axe reminded me that sometimes the most important thing we can do is pause and sharpen.

    After walking through grief, releasing the Growth in the Chaos series, and trying to hold all the things together, I’ve realized it’s time to reset. I’m reflecting on what this season is teaching me, and why giving ourselves space to rest is one of the most powerful things we can do — especially in motherhood.

    🎧 In this episode, I’m sharing: ✔️ The story that helped me name what I needed ✔️ Why I’m pressing pause for summer ✔️ What to expect while I’m away — and how you can stay connected

    If you’ve been feeling like it’s time to slow down and reassess, I hope this gives you permission to do the same P.s. Don't forget to follow along over on social - @successfulmamapodcast

  • 97 - staying consistent without burning out: growth in the chaos, part 6
    May 20 2025

    Motherhood is chaotic—but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow in the middle of it. In the Growth in the Chaos series, we’re breaking down how to navigate the unpredictable, exhausting seasons of motherhood while still making progress toward the life you want.

    In Part 6, we’re talking about how to keep going — how to stay consistent in your growth without falling into burnout or all-or-nothing thinking. We’re wrapping up the series with a practical conversation on what it really looks like to grow in real life — and how to reset when life throws you off track (because it will).

    🎧 In this episode, we’re covering: ✔️ How to figure out what season you’re in and adjust your expectations ✔️ Why perfectionism keeps you stuck — and how to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset ✔️ What to actually do when you fall off track — real steps to reset and move forward

    This episode is your reminder that consistency isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up, one small step at a time. Make sure you're following us over on social media - @successfulmamapodcast

  • 96 - identity beyond motherhood: growth in the chaos, part 5
    May 13 2025

    Motherhood is chaotic—but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow in the middle of it. In the Growth in the Chaos series, we’re breaking down how to navigate the unpredictable, exhausting seasons of motherhood while still making progress toward the life you want.

    In Part 5, we’re digging into identity — and what happens when you no longer recognize yourself in this season of motherhood. We’re talking about matrescence, why you don’t have to “go back” to feel whole again, and how to reconnect with the version of success that feels true to you now — not who you used to be.

    🎧 In this episode, we’re covering: ✔️ Why your identity naturally shifts in different seasons of motherhood ✔️ What “matrescence” actually means and how to navigate it ✔️ How to reconnect with yourself when you feel lost in motherhood

    This one is full of reflection, encouragement, and real steps to help you grow — not just as a mom, but as a person. P.S. Make sure you're following over on social media - @successfulmamapodcast
