Hi Mamas,

In this week’s episode, I open up about one of the most overlooked but emotionally loaded challenges of working mom life: making new friends as an adult.

If you’ve ever felt like everyone already has their circle... or you’ve wondered, “How do I even begin to build real friendships at this stage of life?” …you are not alone. From juggling work deadlines, school drop-offs, and never-ending laundry to managing social anxiety and feeling awkward at PTA events, adult friendship often feels like something reserved for another life phase… one we’re too busy to revisit.

I share..

• My personal story of struggling with connection after moving to a new town
• The invisible walls we build as busy moms (and how to take them down)
• How friendship ties directly into mental health, work-life balance, and your overall happiness
• A breakdown of why adult friendship is so difficult… from logistics and vulnerability to unrealistic expectations
• 10 practical tips to find, build, and nurture meaningful friendships… without needing hours of free time or superhuman energy

You’ll also learn:

• How to use Facebook groups and community events to find like-minded moms near you
• The mindset shift that changes everything when it comes to putting yourself out there
• Why you don’t need a giant friend group—just a few soul-filling connections
• What it looks like to be brave enough to go first, even when you feel like the outsider

Whether you’re new in town, starting a new season, or just tired of doing life without your people… this episode is your reminder that you’re worthy of deep, life-giving friendships, and that it's not too late to find them.

Hey mama,

Today’s episode is a little heart-to-heart, inspired by one of you. A listener reached out and saying she's struggling with making friends as a working mom... and it hit me deep.

So we’re diving all the way in this week! Let’s be real…making friends as a grown woman is just plain awkward. It’s not like when we were little and you could walk up on the playground and say, “Wanna be friends?” and that was that. Now it takes courage, intentionality, and a whole lot of emotional energy we don’t always have left at the end of a long day.

In this episode, I’m sharing a quote that really hit me:


“Friendships in adulthood don’t happen by accident. They happen because someone was brave enough to go first.” — Danielle Bayard Jackson

Most of us are walking around hoping someone will reach out, invite us, start the conversation… while we sit quietly convincing ourselves that we’d be bothering someone if we did. But mama…what if you were the one who went first?

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why friendship feels harder as a working mom

• The biggest myths about adult friendships

• How I got out of my own way and started connecting with other moms

• A mindset shift if you’ve been feeling too “busy” or “late” to make new friends

• A simple challenge to help you build real connection this week

💖 This week’s challenge:

💬 Be brave enough to go first.
Whether it’s a text, a voice memo, or just a smile and “Hi!” at school pickup… go first. Connection starts with courage, and that courage lives in YOU.

✨ Bonus Reminder: Real friendships aren’t built in perfectly curated group chats. They’re built in real moments, through small, brave choices. 💬 Then head over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and share what you’re doing this week to be brave! 💛

Hi Mamas,

Whether you're beach-bound, barbecue-hopping, or just soaking up a slower morning (even in sweats and cloudy skies), this quick mindset episode is your friendly reminder: you are already leading… every single day.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into what leadership really means for ambitious, overwhelmed working moms who are trying to balance it all. Spoiler alert: it's not about a fancy title or corner office… it's about influence, impact, and inspiration. And yes, that includes how you run your household, advocate for yourself, and uplift the people around you (even when you're running on coffee and chaos).

In this episode, we cover:

• Why leadership is more about presence than position
• Everyday ways moms lead without even realizing it
• A special shoutout to teachers
• How to silence that voice in your head that says you're “not enough”
• A simple but powerful mindset challenge to help you lead with intention this week

Today’s Quote: "Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence, and inspiration." - Robin S. Sharma

💖 This week’s challenge:

Find one way to lead without permission… whether it's speaking up, mentoring someone, setting a boundary, or simply choosing to show up with kindness and strength. Do it with purpose. Do it with heart.

You don’t need permission to be powerful. You’re already leading… with love, courage, and intention. 💪✨

💬 Then head over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms

and share how you lead this week… we’d love to celebrate it with you.

• Why rhythms beat rigid schedules (especially for working moms)

• The importance of protecting white space for spontaneity and rest
• How to release guilt and create a summer that actually serves you

Whether you’re planning a big family trip or keeping it close to home, this episode will help you make intentional choices that lead to a summer filled with connection, fun, and a little breathing room.

✨ Summer Intention Challenge:

This week, take 20 minutes to: ✅ Reflect on how you want summer to feel ✅ Create your Summer Vision List (with your kids!) ✅ Draft a loose weekly rhythm ✅ Protect some white space

Then come hang out with me on Instagram or in our Facebook group and share ONE thing you’re saying yes to this summer…and ONE thing you’re letting go of. Let’s support each other in creating summers that truly nourish us.

Hi Mamas,

Hey mama, happy Monday! Welcome back to another Monday Mindset episode…. your weekly pep talk to reset, refocus, and breathe deep before the chaos kicks in!

Today’s mindset shift? A little reminder wrapped in a quote:

"The magic of summer isn’t in the schedule — it’s in the slow, sacred moments."

Let that sink in... If you're already feeling the pressure to curate a Pinterest-perfect summer with bucket lists, pool days, and perfectly color-coded calendars…. this one’s for you.

Because here’s the truth: We don’t need to do more to create magic. We just need to notice more.

In this short and powerful episode, I’m walking you through:

• The hustle we unknowingly bring into summer
• Why our kids don’t need a “fun mom” — they need a present one
• What sacred moments really look like (hint: it’s not another craft)
• Your simple mindset challenge for the week that will shift how you feel this summer… not just how it looks

Let’s ditch the pressure, reclaim the peace, and create a summer that feels good in your bones.

✨ Because you don’t have to earn slow. You just have to choose it.

💖 This week’s challenge:

Create one slow, sacred moment each day. Pause. Be present. And when it happens, say to yourself: “This is the magic.”

💬 Then head over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms

and share your moment with us… we’d love to celebrate it with you.

Can you believe it?! Two years ago, this podcast started with a messy dream and a microphone... and today, we're celebrating 214 episodes and an amazing community of ambitious, intentional moms who inspire me daily. 💛

Hi Mamas,

✨Mornings Made Simple Workshop cart is officially OPEN! Grab your seat today! Mornings Made Simple Workshop!✨

I’m kicking off your week with a mindset shift that’s been speaking to me on a deep level, especially as I reflect on what it means to grow, evolve, and honor the version of yourself you’re becoming.

“You are allowed to outgrow the version of you who dreamed up the life you’re in now.”

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why it’s okay to release goals, routines, or roles that no longer serve you
• How motherhood, work, and life dreams can (and should) evolve with you
• What it means to give yourself permission to shift, realign, and grow
• How my own journey (and this podcast) have changed over the past two years
• A mindset check-in challenge for the week ahead

So many of us feel stuck in stories we’ve outgrown. This is your reminder that you’re not behind… you’re becoming.

And if this message lands with you? Make sure you check out Ep 214. where I reflect on two years of this podcast and share the biggest lessons that have shaped my journey so far.

💖 This week’s challenge:

Take 5–10 minutes to reflect on what no longer fits:

• What have you outgrown?
• Where are you showing up out of habit or guilt, not alignment?
• What version of you are you still trying to live up to that no longer fits?

Let yourself shift. Let yourself evolve. You’re allowed to change—and you don’t need permission to do it.
