In this episode, I’m diving into one of the hardest but most necessary parts of being a working mom...setting boundaries at work. You know that feeling of being “always on,” constantly checking Slack or email even after you’ve logged off? Yeah, I’ve been there.

I share some of my own experiences around learning (and sometimes failing) to draw the line between work and home, and what it’s taken to unlearn the guilt that comes with prioritizing rest and self-care. We’ll talk through a few small, realistic steps you can take to protect your energy and create more breathing room in your day.

Because at the end of the day, boundaries aren’t about saying no. They’re about saying yes to peace, connection, and the parts of life that matter most.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to downshift — in work, parenting, and the way we see our own bodies. I talk through the tension between who we’ve been told to be (high achieving, always on, constantly proving) and what our actual hearts and homes need from us right now.

We walk through:

• A real financial reality check — not the Pinterest version, but the honest math of “How much do we truly need to live well?”
• Mindset shifts around wants vs. needs — and how so many of our “needs” are actually habits, pressure, or comparison.
• The Sacrifice Audit — what’s easy to cut, what’s painful, and what’s absolutely non-negotiable for your sanity.
• How to measure the invisible gains — like bandwidth, peace, mornings that don’t feel like a sprint, actually being present with your kids, and remembering who you are.

I also share a few practical tools to help you track progress that isn’t just financial — because downshifting is just as much about what you get back as what you let go of.

We close with encouragement to notice and celebrate the tiny wins — the kind that don’t show up on spreadsheets but change your whole life.

This is for the moms who are tired of feeling like their worth is in their output — and are ready to reclaim their time, their presence, and their joy.

Pour a cup. Let’s breathe. You’re not doing this alone. ☕💛
