The Life Coach for Working Moms Podcast

Listen to these powerful client stories of how intentionally saying less has made all the difference in parenting, in leadership, and in difficult conversations about boundaries and priorities. We live in a busy and noisy world, especially as parents, with little time to pause and embrace the silence. But when we do, we can hear so much more. We can hear what our kids really need. We can hear what's actually the problem at work. And we can hear our own thoughts about what is actually important. After you finish this episode, I challenge you to practice pausing, embracing the silence, and saying yes and tell me that you don't feel a difference in how you connect to those around you and to yourself as a working mom.     Key Takeaways: 01:15 The power of silence in parenting and work   02:56 Client Story: saying less in career negotiations   09:20 Client Story: saying less as a manager   11:30 Personal Story: saying less as a parent   15:23 Practical tips for saying less and getting comfortable with silence   19:03 Join my January Small Group Coaching Program for Working Moms!     Resources + Links: Episode 25: How to Survive Endless School Closures & Sick Days   Dr. Becky Kennedy, author of Good Inside   Episode 23: Managing Daily Interruptions   Learn more about my January small group coaching program for working moms     Let's Connect:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themothernurture   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   Website: https://www.themothernurture.com/

Do you find new year goal-setting to just be another thing you have to add to your already full plate? More pressure, more things to do, more areas where you could fall short or not follow through? I'd like to offer a different approach to setting resolutions for the new year. One that's more flexible, less rigid, and easier to fit into your busy, working mom schedule. Listen in to learn a new way of approaching new year resolutions and goal-setting. Plus, I'm sharing some of my own ideas for 2025 and what I'm thinking about focusing in a very realistic, and doable way. But of course, I reserve the right to change my mind, and so do you.

It's no wonder we have trouble focusing and getting anything done during the day! The constant stream of emails, text messages, and pings is relentless forcing our days to be more reactive than proactive. But it's unrealistic to think you can just turn off all notifications. For many, being responsive to clients and colleagues is a part of the job. And as parents, being unavailable is too risky. What if your child is sick or there's an emergency? In this episode, Katelyn shares realistic strategies and tips for how to find a balance of focused time for the proactive projects and work that you need to do, while still being responsive to the interruptions that come in throughout the day.   Key Takeaways:     01:14 Different types of interruptions   02:19 The impact interruptions have on your day and how you feel   06:45 A realistic approach to managing interruptions   14:14 Practical tips to help reduce interruptions   17:04 Building a new habit that's less reactive   17:47 Get support with managing your time and interruptions     Resources + Links:   My January group coaching program for working moms is filling up!
