If your brain is foggy, your to-do list is mildly passive-aggressive, and you’re just trying to finish a thought before someone asks for a snack—this episode is for you.

I’m answering four real questions from moms who are in the thick of it. We're talking about focus, posting after a long break, content creation when your energy is on empty, and whether it's even worth trying when full-time hours aren't an option.

There’s no pressure-y pep talk here—just honest strategies for making progress when you’re tired, human, and still wildly capable.

Questions Answered in This Episode:

“I get just one hour a day to work. What should I focus on?”→ I share exactly how to protect that precious time and use it without spinning your wheels.

“What should I post if I haven’t shown up in weeks and I feel awkward now?”→ Let’s skip the guilt and talk about how to re-enter the chat like a real human (not an algorithm-chasing machine).

“How do I create content when I can barely think past what’s for dinner?”→ I walk you through my low-effort, low-energy approach to staying visible without forcing it.

“Is it even worth it to keep trying if I can’t commit full time?”→ Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: Also yes—but let’s talk about how to make it work in a way that feels doable.

This week I’m answering a question that I think a lot of us have quietly asked ourselves—especially when we’re standing on the edge of something new and a little scary.

“How do I move forward when I’m scared I’m going to screw it all up, and it won’t work?”—Kelsey, Charlotte NC

In this episode, I’m talking about how fear shows up (usually sounding super logical), how to gently challenge it, and one surprisingly simple question (courtesy of my 5yo...) that helps me get unstuck when my brain starts catastrophizing everything.

If fear’s been holding you back lately—or you’re just tired of second-guessing every move—this conversation might give you a new way to think about things.

A few things I cover:

Why “being realistic” is sometimes just fear in disguise

How I use the phrase “How do you know?” to break the fear spiral

What to do when your brain only wants to offer worst-case scenarios

A journaling prompt that helps separate truth from mental static

Why some doubts stick around even when you’ve done the work—and how to handle them
