Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms · How Working Moms Stop Feeling Overwhelmed · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Because there's been a few things that have really surprised me that women have.

Said, particularly my clients and the ones that I've I've interviewed.

And so I want to offer those insights to you here in this episode.

Because I think it really gets to like the heart of of what sustainable balance really means and how and like in their own words, what it takes to actually create that.

And so there are four things that have really stood out to me that working moms have been saying.

First thing that surprised me is how similar everybody describes the challenges of being a working mom right now.

Everybody talks about the mental load, the guilt, and the lack of presence.

Whether I've been talking to my clients or I've been talking to uh these women across the nation really around their experience as a working mom, everybody talks about those key challenges almost every single conversation.

So that's the first thing that surprised me is just the commonality of language that we all use to describe the challenges that we face as working moms.

The second surprising insight really comes after observing all of the various interviews that I've had for this podcast.

Because there's been four recent graduates from my Ambitious and Balanced program that has come on this podcast to describe their experience.

As a working mom to describe the program to you, to tell you about what their kind of experience of work-life balance is now, kind of the before and after picture.

And so there's a lot of through lines between all of these stories that I've noticed as I've gone back and listened to them and read the transcripts.

Because what I really expected to hear from my clients is I expected them to describe life.

kind of on the outside as being very different, their schedule being lighter, feeling less busy, you know, feeling like they have more time for themselves, for their marriage, for their kids, better routines, better boundaries, right?

These are kinds of the external experience of balance that I would expect them to talk about.

And I have no doubt that all of my clients experienced those transformations.

I mean, certainly they spoke about those things on some level, but it's not the first thing most of them talked about.

Like if you really go back and listen to their interviews, what they were talking about was increasing confidence and a shift in how they make decisions.

That's more through the lens of priorities and values.
