The Life Coach for Working Moms Podcast

What if the woman in the mirror staring back at you doesn't feel like you anymore?
 
I sit down with stylist Jess Burns this week, and we get into why getting dressed feels so hard when you're a working mom with zero extra minutes in the morning but how it can be one of the easiest ways to start feeling like yourself again. Jess left a decade of teaching preschool to become a stylist almost by accident, and now she helps women stop guessing and start dressing with intention. We talk about the fastest ways to plan outfits without spending hours on it, why your closet is probably full of things you like on other people and not on yourself, and how color analysis can genuinely cut your shopping time in half.
 
This one will change how you think about the ten minutes you spend getting dressed every morning.

What if getting organized has nothing to do with buying the perfect bins and is simply knowing what you have and being able to find it when you need it. That's it. No new containers required.
 
I sat down with Tracy Hoth, founder of The Organized Coach and Organized Life Academy, to talk about organizing your calendar, how to sort before decluttering, and what to do when you're paralyzed by a space that's been cluttered for years.
 
We get into her SPACE method, the real reason containers should be your last step instead of your first, and how asking what feeling you want a space to hold can guide every decision you make in it.
 
This episode gave me language for something I already believed: staying organized is ongoing, not a one-time fix. I'm walking away ready to treat my own cluttered spaces as projects instead of proof that I'm failing, and I'll be setting a 15-minute timer this week to prove it to myself. I bet you'll be ready to join me too by the end of this episode!

What if the picture you're painting about adulthood is making your kids dread growing up? An Instagram post from another mom who talked about choosing to see her responsibilities as privileges, not burdens, stopped me in my tracks and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
 
Adulting IS hard. There are so many responsibilities, decisions, and things that we have to do. And how many times have our kids heard us complain about how exhausted we are by all of it?
 
In this episode, I talk about my commitment to sharing not just the challenges of adulting, but the highs, the good times, the perks, and privileges too. I don't want my kids to be in a rush to grow up. I'm certainly not ready for them to. But I know that it'll happen eventually, and I don't want them to dread it.

I tried Brick, the little device that physically locks you out of your phone apps until you walk over and tap back in, and I'm sharing exactly what happened. This isn't sponsored and I'm not trying to sell you something. It's just my honest experience after a few months of using it to break habits I didn't love: scrolling in bed after my alarm went off, disappearing into my phone during the 5-8pm family window, and reaching for it during my most focused work hours.
 
If despite your best efforts you are still on your phone more than you'd like, this episode will help you zero in on the real issue, identify what it's costing you, and then think about potential solutions that will help you spend more time in your real life and less time on your phone. Whether or not you use the Brick is totally up to you. But I'm walking you through what I learned so you can decide if it's worth trying for yourself.

You can have the most organized calendar in the world, and it won't matter the moment the nanny calls off, your kid gets sick, or your car won't start. It's why the most important skill you can develop as a working parent is flexibility. The flexibility to rework your schedule, shorten your to-do list, and get creative with how to get things done.
 
In this episode I share the self-talk I use to reset my expectations, how I decide what actually has to get done when everything shifts, and how to adjust without losing momentum or burning out. If you're a working parent whose plans keep getting blown up by real life, this episode gives you a way to respond that still moves you forward.
