239. Mindset Reset: Stop Resisting Change and Start Embracing It As A Working Mom
Hi Mamas, This week’s Monday Mindset is for every mom bracing for the whirlwind of back-to-school season... the papers, the schedules, the sports practices, the 17 back-to-school emails… and the emotional rollercoaster of watching your babies grow up way too fast.

Your relationships? Your mindset? ✅ Then ask: What would it look like to build a windmill instead?Could you shift your routine? Release an expectation? Ask for help? Set a boundary? ✅ Extra credit: Revisit Episode 125 (Build Your Village) and Episode 238 (Glass vs. Rubber Balls) to help support you as you ride the winds of this season.

238. Burnout and Overwhelmed? Here's The Stress-Busting Trick That Saved My Sanity As A Working Mom
Hi Mamas, This week’s episode is a little different... and a whole lot deeper. We’re not talking hacks or checklists. We’re talking about real life… the kind that makes you want to cry in your car, order takeout again, and wonder how on earth you’re supposed to do it all. This one’s about juggling. But not in the “look how productive I am” kind of way. In the real, raw, honest way… where your therapist has to remind you:“You’re juggling a lot right now… but not every ball is made of glass.” Today, I’m sharing:✔️ How to know what’s a glass ball (fragile, important, long-term)✔️ How to spot a rubber ball (urgent-feeling, but bounces just fine)✔️ Questions to ask yourself when everything feels “important”✔️ A behind-the-scenes look at how I’ve had to let some balls bounce (yes, even the podcast)✔️ Why you are a glass ball...and what that means for your peace✔️ How to give yourself full permission to stop doing it all...  and breathe instead This is the episode I needed…. and I hope it’s the one you didn’t know you needed, too. 🎁 Grab my freebie:Boundaries Made Simple– Learn how to protect your peace, set guilt-free boundaries, and finally stop saying “yes” to what drains you. 💛 Feeling encouraged by today’s episode?👉 Share it with a friend, leave a quick review, or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life ... your messages truly mean the world to me. 🌟 💬 Let’s keep this conversation going!

237. Mindset Reset: You Are a Masterpiece in Progress: A Mindset Shift Every Working Mom Needs
Hi Mamas, This week, we’re kicking things off with a quote that hits deep in the heart of every busy, high-achieving, working mom who’s ever wondered if she’s doing enough or being enough: 💭 “You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.” — Sophia Bush Read that again. Let it sink in. Because this episode is your weekly permission slip to let go of the pressure to “arrive” and instead honor the process you’re in… yes, even the hard, uncertain, tear-streaked parts. Inside This Episode, We Talk About: ✔️ Why moms feel pressure to do it all and hold it all together✔️ What it really means to live in the tension of gratitude + overwhelm✔️ How faith, healing, and trusting the process can turn your mess into your message✔️ A powerful mindset challenge to help you release guilt and walk with grace this week Whether you're hiding in your minivan for 5 minutes of peace or folding laundry while refereeing toddler debates over who looked at who first—this episode will remind you that you’re doing better than you think… and you are not alone. 💛 Weekly Mindset Challenge: This isn’t just feel-good inspiration… it’s a practical, soul-nourishing exercise you can do right now: Write down one area of your life where you feel like a work in progress. (Marriage? Finances? Patience? Health? Yep, all of the above is valid.) Underneath it, write:“God’s not finished here. And I don’t have to have it all together to be worthy today.”(Or change “God” to whatever source of strength and faith feels aligned for you.) Say a prayer, affirmation, or intention. Ask for guidance, peace, and strength for the journey. ✨ You don’t have to wait until you’ve got it all figured out to be proud of who you are today. ✨ 📢 Want to go deeper?

235. Monday Mindset: Why Indecision Is Stealing Your Dreams and How To Take Them Back
Hi Mamas, This week’s episode is for every mom who’s ever stayed stuck in a loop of “what ifs,” replaying every scenario until your brain’s spinning like your toddler on a sugar high. We’re digging into a quote that might just shake you out of indecision and into aligned action: 💭 “Indecision steals more dreams than wrong decisions ever will.” — Danielle LaPorte Whether you’re second-guessing a big move, a tiny step, or what to order off the takeout menu… this mindset drop is your permission slip to just choose. Because not deciding? That’s still a decision… and usually not the one your future self will thank you for. 💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: ✅ Pick one decision you’ve been putting off.Big or small… it all counts. (Think: family vacation, saying no to that draining invite, starting that gym membership…) ✅ Ask yourself these three questions:• What would I do if I trusted myself completely?• If I couldn’t fail, what would I choose?• Which decision gets me closer to the life I’m trying to build? ✅ Then… DECIDE.Rip the Band-Aid. Set a deadline. Take the first step. You can always pivot—but you can’t build momentum standing still. 📣 And don’t keep it to yourself… come tell us inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms what decision you’re making this week so we can celebrate and support you! 🎉   ⭐ If this episode gave you a pep in your step, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

229. Mindset Reset: Feeling Behind on Your Goals: Here’s the Mid-Year Pep Talk You Need
Hi Mamas, This week, we’re talking about something that’s super important… your mid-year check-in. Because let’s be real: this is the time of year when a lot of moms quietly give up on their goals.We start the year with energy and intention… shiny planners, inspiring Pinterest boards, and big dreams.But then? Life. Starts. Life-ing. Deadlines pile up. School schedules explode. You fall behind on one goal, then another, and suddenly it feels easier to quit than to keep going. But here’s your reminder, mama:You don’t need a new year to start over. You just need a pause to realign. 💛 💭 This Week’s Quote: “Small steps in the right direction can turn out to be the biggest steps of your life.” — Naeem Callaway In this week’s episode, we’re talking about: ✔️ Why now is the perfect time for a mid-year reset✔️ How to check in with compassion instead of guilt✔️ Why your goals might still matter (even if they feel out of reach)✔️ What it means to recommit to one small step at a time✔️ The truth about progress (hint: it’s usually messy and imperfect)✔️ Why you don’t need hours of free time…you just need intentionality✔️ A gentle challenge to take one step forward this week… no matter how small 💖 This Week’s Challenge: Choose one small step toward one of your goals. Just one. ➡️ Maybe it’s prepping healthy snacks so you skip the drive-thru.➡️ Maybe it’s blocking 15 minutes to work on your side hustle.➡️ Maybe it’s putting $10 into savings or canceling one subscription.➡️ Maybe it’s saying “no” to one thing that’s draining you so you can say “yes” to what matters. Write it down. Set a reminder. Tell someone.And then do it. That one small step? It might just be the beginning of something life-changing. And when you take it?

225. Mindset Reset: The Trick To Saying No Without The Guilt As A Working Mom
Hi Mamas, If you’ve ever found yourself reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time—while RSVP-ing “sure, I’ll bake 48 gluten-free, dairy-free, unicorn-shaped cupcakes”… today’s episode is for you. We’re diving into Paulo Coelho’s reminder: “When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.” Because every yes comes with an invoice… paid in sleep, sanity, or that bedtime snuggle you promised your kiddo. This week, I’m handing you a tiny, mighty tool called The Empowered Pause so you can protect your time like your toddler guards the last sprinkle donut. In this pep-talk: ✔️ Why defaulting to yes bankrupts your energy account✔️ The 3-step Empowered Pause (breathe… scan… ask) that keeps guilt in its lane✔️ How modeling healthy limits teaches our kids that they don’t have to do it all✔️ Real-life boundary scripts you can swipe (straight from my Boundaries Made Simple freebie)✔️ The truth about “good moms do everything” … and why that voice needs an exit pass 💖 This Week’s Challenge: Run a “Yes Audit” Brain-dump every commitment for the next two weeks—work, home, PTA, car-pool, dog-sitting Aunt Linda’s chinchilla… Color-code: Green… fuels you or aligns with top priorities Yellow… neutral, could delegate Red… drains you or clashes with your values Take action: Keep the greens… renegotiate or pass off the yellows… and lovingly release at least one red by Friday. Need wording bravery? Grab a script from Boundaries Made Simple or pop into our FB community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms and let’s workshop it together.

223. Mindset Reset: Children Spell Love T-I-M-E: 10-Minute Connection Hacks for Busy Working Moms
Hey mama, This week’s Monday Mindset is such an important one… especially if you’ve been feeling like you’re doing all the things but still missing real connection with your kids. We’re kicking off the week with this quote by Dr. A. Whitham:“Children spell love… T-I-M-E.” In this episode, I’m sharing how small, intentional moments of presence… even just 10 minutes a day… can completely shift your relationship with your child. Because it’s not about elaborate plans or carving out hours you don’t have. It’s about putting your phone down, tuning into the moment, and being truly present…even in the chaos. Here’s what I’m talking about:✔️ Why quality time doesn’t have to mean “a lot of time”✔️ How to create meaningful micro-moments (that fit into your real life)✔️ My favorite connection rituals… from sock-sorting chats to bedtime “rose and thorn”✔️ Why your full attention… even for 10 minutes… can fill your child’s emotional tank✔️ A mindset shift that helps you ditch the guilt and show up with intention 💖 This week’s challenge:Pick one moment each day this week to be fully present with your child.Put the phone away. Quiet the mental checklist. Just be there.Ask about their day. Share a story. Snuggle up. Shoot hoops. Play Uno.Give them your full attention for 10 minutes and watch what happens.✨ Then at the end of the week, reflect:How did it feel? What did you notice? How did they respond?

Mom Wife Career Life | Time Management & Work-Life Balance for Working Moms, Mindset, Healthy Habits, Positive Parenting
*Top 1.5% Globally Ranked Podcast in Time Management & Work-Life Balance for Working Moms* Helping overwhelmed working moms create balance through healthy habits, organization and intentional living. Are you sick of feeling overwhelmed trying to juggle all the many hats you wear as a working mom? Do you long for quality time with your family without the distraction of work, and crave time alone to quiet all the noise and just take time for yourself and your needs? In this podcast, you will find simple ways to be more intentional with your time so you can free yourself from the chaos. My mission is to help you create balance in your life by implementing healthy habits, organizing your home and your schedule, and setting healthy boundaries. . I will teach you how to take control of your time, how to say no, how to be more present in the moment, and most importantly how to start putting your needs first because no one can pour from an empty cup. Hi, I’m Kerri and I’m a wife, mom of 3 and a recovering perfectionist! I spent years feeling burnt out, always saying yes because I didn’t know how to say no, allowing work to creep into my family time, and never take time for myself because I put everyone else’s needs ahead of mine. I finally realized that I’m never going to get this time back with my kids and my family and I needed to reprioritize and focus on what is truly important in life. I’ve spent countless hours looking for ways to make life simpler, easier and more fulfilling and I’m looking forward to sharing my years of research and trial and error with all of you! If you are ready to finally feel like you have more control over your life and your schedule, start your days with calm instead chaos, and feel like the best version of yourself, then this podcast is for you!
