With Mother’s Day in a week, I decided that for the next two weeks I’m going to talk about the impact of working moms on daughters and on sons. This week I'm just focusing on daughters, but if you don’t have a daughter, I would still listen in because, let's face it, you are a daughter and you never know what you might discover.

And if you have a daughter like I do, I want to talk about something that’s probably crossed your mind as a working mom: how your career is impacting your daughter. It’s one of those things we think about in the quiet moments, wondering if what we’re doing is helping her or holding her back.

Maybe you’ve asked yourself, “Am I showing her the right example?” Or, “Does she feel like I’m not there enough?” These questions can feel heavy because, let’s be honest, being a mom comes with its own suitcase of guilt, and working just seems to add more to it.

But here’s the thing: the impact you’re having on your daughter might be more powerful than you realize. It’s not just about how many hours you’re home or how many soccer practices you make it to—it’s about what she’s seeing and learning from you every single day.

This week, I’m going to discuss how working moms shape ambition and confidence in daughters, and how to balance challenges and build a stronger connection.

Being a working mom can feel like a never-ending juggling act. When my children were younger, I remember that some days, it was like no matter how early I woke up or how much I planned, there was still too much to do and not enough time to do it.

I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way. You start the day with the best intentions, but by the time it’s over, you’re wondering where all the hours went and why you still feel behind.

It’s exhausting. And let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, you’re just barely keeping your head above water.

The problem isn’t that we’re not doing enough. The problem is that we’re doing too much of the wrong things and not enough of what actually helps.

This week, I’m going to discuss why it feels like there’s never enough time and the best time management habits for working moms.

What if you could wake up knowing exactly what needed to get done instead of feeling like you were already behind? What if you could make life run more smoothly without adding more to your plate?

The good news is, setting up better systems isn’t complicated. You don’t need fancy planners, expensive apps, or hours of extra time.

All you need is a simple way to organize things so that your brain isn’t working overtime trying to remember everything. Once you have that, life gets easier—without you having to work harder.

This week, I’m going to discuss why life feels disorganized and how to organize your life with better systems.

Think about the last time you laughed so hard with a friend that it felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders. When was the last time you felt truly understood without having to explain yourself? These are the kinds of connections that can keep us grounded, even when life feels chaotic.

Yet, for so many moms, it feels like friendships belong in the “someday” pile—the pile of things we’ll get to once everything else is done. But let’s be honest: when is everything ever done?

What if finding your tribe isn’t about adding something else to your to-do list but about enriching the life you’re already living? What if it’s about realizing that connection doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming—it just has to be intentional?

Friendships aren’t just a luxury for when you have extra time (does that even exist?). They’re a lifeline, a source of energy and comfort, and they can help you be the best version of yourself—for you and everyone else who depends on you.

This week, I’m going to discuss why it feels so hard to maintain friendships when you’re a busy working mom and how building meaningful relationships doesn’t have to be complicated.

Have you ever left work at a reasonable time to pick up your kids and felt like you were being silently—or not so silently—judged? Maybe a coworker makes a snide comment, or you get that look from someone as if to say, “Must be nice to leave early.”

The thing is, juggling work and family is already hard enough without feeling like you’re under a microscope. You’re trying to do your best for your family and your career, but somehow, it never feels like enough. It’s exhausting, and it can leave you second-guessing yourself constantly.

Why is it that judgment from others, or even ourselves, can hit so hard? Why does one comment, one glance, or even one unspoken assumption stick with us for hours—or days? It’s almost like our brains are wired to take every criticism and use it as proof that we’re not doing enough.

This week, I’m going to discuss why judgment and criticism feel so heavy and how to take back control.

Let’s talk about what it’s like to feel stuck in a job you can’t quit. It’s one of those things that can weigh on you every single day, making it hard to focus on anything else.

You might feel like you’re just going through the motions, clocking in and out, while wishing things could be different. Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I have no choice,” or “It’s just how things are right now.”

If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not alone. So many people, especially moms balancing work and family, feel trapped in a job because the idea of leaving isn’t even on the table.

But what does “stuck” really mean? Is it your circumstances that are keeping you there, or could it be something else entirely?

This week, I’m going to discuss why you feel stuck and how to empower yourself when you can’t quit right now.

Have you ever thought about all the things you’ve done in the past year alone? Not just the big milestones but the small victories that probably felt insignificant at the time but added up to something incredible.

Sometimes, we need a little nudge to stop and acknowledge ourselves. That’s where the idea of a Reverse Bucket List comes in—a simple way to see your life through a more compassionate and celebratory lens.

So, here’s my question for you: If you wrote down all the moments you’re proud of, what would you discover about yourself? Would you see a woman who’s been doing far more than she gives herself credit for?

This isn’t about adding one more thing to your to-do list or finding yet another way to measure your success. It’s about giving yourself the credit you deserve and feeling proud of the life you’ve built so far.

This week, I’m going to discuss the problem of forgetting to pause and reflect and the transformative power of a Reverse Bucket List.

Have you ever noticed how your brain can latch onto a single thought and refuse to let go? Maybe it’s replaying an awkward moment, overthinking something you said, or obsessing about what someone else might be thinking. It’s like a broken record, looping over and over, and no matter how hard you try, it just won’t stop.

This kind of mental replay can be exhausting. It’s not just draining your energy—it’s stealing your time and focus too.

You sit there, caught up in the loop, wishing your brain had an “off” switch. But the harder you try to push the thought away, the louder it seems to get.

Why does this happen? Why does your brain decide to cling so tightly to something, even when you don’t want it to?

This week, I’m going to discuss why thought loops happen, how to recognize and redirect thought loops, and my personal example of breaking a thought loop.
