She had a 10-year plan. Then pregnancy loss, divorce, and corporate burnout rewrote the entire script. This is what working mom reinvention actually looks like — and why peace is worth more than gold.

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Tiana Reeves — PMP-certified project manager, Six Sigma Black Belt, author, podcast host, and creator of the Corporate Mom Movement — about what happens when life forces you to throw out the plan and build something better.

Tiana shares:
- Why she says marriage is a corporate merger — and how to choose a partner wisely the second time
- The financial belief she had to unlearn to step into her power
- How she teaches her kids (ages 7 and 9) about money using the save-give-spend system
- Her plot twist: passing the PMP exam in 6 weeks while battling anxiety, depression, and a failing marriage
- Why ambitious working moms still make people uncomfortable — and how to own it anyway

Whether you're navigating a career pivot, rebuilding after divorce, or trying to teach your kids about money while figuring out your own relationship with it, this conversation will remind you that you're not starting over — you're starting wiser.

You do an estimated 35+ hours of unpaid invisible labor every week — operations, project management, crisis response, HR, executive decision-making. And most of us have been conditioned to call it "just being a mom."

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Dr. Danielle Dowling, Psy.D. — certified life coach, doctor of psychology, and author of the upcoming book Good Girl, Bad Mom — about the invisible workload that motherhood demands, why naming it as work feels like betrayal, and what it actually takes to reclaim your self-worth inside the life you love.

Dr. Dowling shares:
- Why "good girl conditioning" turns overwhelm into personal shame — not systemic critique
- The Oxfam stat that will stop you cold: women globally perform $10 trillion of unpaid labor annually
- The motherhood org chart — and the six-figure salaries those skills would command at any company
- Why self-abandonment gets labeled "good mom-ness" — and how to start seeing it clearly
- A powerful language swap: replace "help" with "own" to transfer real household responsibility
- Her self-worth → self-respect → self-care framework, and why starting with self-care always fails

Whether you're a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in the messy middle — this conversation will give you language for something you've always felt but never been allowed to name.

What if the most powerful business strategy has nothing to do with strategy at all?

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Scott MacGregor — founder of The Outlier Project, publisher of Outlier Magazine, and 4x author — about why intentional relationship building is the one skill AI will never replace.

Scott shares:
- His "extra inch" philosophy that turns 5 seconds of effort into massive impact
- Why he ditched networking for friendship building (and what changed)
- How he uses his phone contacts as a personal CRM to remember what matters
- The Warren Buffett approach to relationships: slow, steady, outsized returns
- Why he's capping his community at 1,100 members — "scale can steal the soul"

Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling stuck in transactional relationships or a leader wanting to build deeper connections, this conversation will shift how you think about success, trust, and what people actually remember about you.
