It’s part 2 of the Stop Surviving series, and today, I am talking with my former client, Ena, who once lived in a constant state of busyness and burnout and didn’t even realize how much she was missing. She shares how her life has transformed since joining Ambitious and Balanced: from running on autopilot to feeling joy in the little things, from defining her worth by productivity to finding peace and presence. If you’ve ever felt like your only options are “keep hustling” or “give it all up,” this episode will show you that there's another way.

Today, I’m kicking off a special series called Stop Surviving—and we’re diving into what I believe is the most transformational shift working moms can make: internal peace. You’ll hear about real women who were once trapped in survival mode—feeling behind before the day even began and how they reclaimed calm, control, and confidence in their lives. This episode is raw, practical, and deeply inspiring if you're tired of spinning and ready to actually feel present and grounded. Plus, I walk you through the exact 3-part process I teach in the Ambitious and Balanced group coaching program. 

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm getting personal and talking about a mindset trap I know so many working moms fall into: feeling stuck—and doing nothing about it. I share my own experience of being caught in a “not enough” loop, waking up at 3am with anxiety, knowing exactly what to do to get out of it, but still... not doing it. This episode isn’t about learning something new—it’s about finally using what you already know. If you’ve been spinning your wheels, overwhelmed and telling yourself “this is just a season,” this episode will hit home—and help you break the cycle. 

Today, I’m talking about one of the most powerful tools working moms overlook - evaluation. Think of it as a weekly report card for your life. I share the simple 3-question process I use to regularly check in on how aligned I am with my goals and how I help clients do the same to stay grounded, confident, and in control. This practice is a game-changer - especially if you’re tired of letting weeks fly by on autopilot. We’re halfway through the year, let’s use this moment to reset, reflect, and re-align. Your future self will thank you. 

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Randi Braun, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Something Major and mom of three - for a real and energizing conversation about ambition, burnout, and redefining success.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I’m handing you a permission slip to take real rest this summer—without guilt, over-explaining, or waiting for the perfect moment. If you've ever said, “I just don’t have time for a break” or “I’ll rest after this project wraps,” this episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down the 5 most common excuses working moms use to avoid time off—and giving you actionable ways to make unplugging not just possible, but joyful. If you want more memories and less burnout this summer, don’t miss this one.  

In this week's episode of the podcast, I’m talking to all the go-to women—the yes people—the ones who hold it all together. But what if being a “yes person” is the very thing burning you out?

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I sit down with powerhouse exec and mom, Sarah Armstrong - VP of Global Marketing Operations at Google and author of The Art of the Juggling Act. We dive deep into what it really takes to be a thriving executive and present mom without burning out. Sarah shares honest stories from her decades-long global career, the boundaries that made it all possible, and how she made pivotal decisions, like passing on promotions to protect her family and peace. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s okay to slow down without losing your ambition, or how to stop guilt from running your life, this one’s a must-listen.
