Kassy Sunshine

Hey mama! Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed and buried under endless to-do lists while trying to be a great mom and achieve personal success too? If you're anything like me, you love being a mom and your kiddos are your world. But at the same time, you're craving for that world to also include space to reconnect with yourself, rediscover your dreams and passions, and remember what it feels like to be successful at more than just making amazing lunchtime snacks. You would love to find harmony between being a great mom and having personal success as an individual, but question whether that's really even possible. You prayed for this chapter of your life but now that it's here, you find yourself stuck in survival mode most of the time. You would love to feel vibrant, accomplished, and confident again. If you can relate, then you're certainly in the right place and you're most definitely not alone. I'm Kassy Sunshine, x3 certified Life and Mindset Success Coach for moms, recovering shouldaholic, fellow mama and host of the Mama's Got Dreams Podcast. I know what it feels like to struggle to find space for being a great mom and doing the things that make you feel like YOU again. To almost convince yourself that being a mom must mean putting your personal dreams and ambitions on pause, and being really good at showing up for everyone around you. That's why this podcast is dedicated to providing you with practical strategies, inspiring but honest personal stories and actionable tips to overcome burnout and achieve success and fulfillment both in motherhood and beyond. Each episode will dive deep into topics like overcoming mom guilt, navigating life's curveballs, finding harmony between being a mom and your career or business and developing a mindset that supports your success and happiness. And the best part? There’s no hustling required! Tune in to learn anti-hustle success strategies for success and messy, real and totally imperfect motherhood experiences. My hope is this podcast can become a safe haven for you to feel seen, understood, and supported in motherhood and beyond so that your fulfillment cup can get the major TLC it deserves.

Trying to find balance in motherhood is bullshit. There, I said it. When well-meaning people tell you to strive for balance, they are basically telling you to find equality between all of your life priorities - kids, partners, careers, self-care - and the list goes on. I hope you know that's impossible (or at least without eventually totally burning out and crashing)! So let’s talk about what you should be striving for in motherhood instead, and that is harmony.

Join me in today's podcast episode as I discuss the definitions of balance and harmony, the difference between the two, why balance in motherhood isn't sustainable, and how it often leads to burnout. I tell you more about my Anti-Hustle Sustainable Success System, what it consists of, and how it helps moms like YOU build sustainable success. Are you ready to embrace harmony in motherhood and break free from burnout so you can create a successful sustainable life? Let's dive in!

Topics covered on Finding Harmony in Motherhood:

  • What are balance and harmony in motherhood and what is the difference between them?
  • Unraveling the lies that we've been told as moms about finding balance and how they have set us up to strive for unattainable goals.
  • The concept of the Anti-Hustle Sustainable Success System as an alternative to the burnout overwhelm rollercoaster.
  • The three components of the Anti-Hustle Sustainable System.
  • What is the foundation for your success and how can you start working on it?

Then I'll dive into what I do as a Life and Mindset Success Coach for moms (because you might be wondering what the heck that even means), why I decided to pivot my life coaching business to focus on supporting moms, and more!

Topics covered in this episode:

  • What inspired me to become a Life and Mindset Success Coach for moms
  • My journey before motherhood and an unexpected pregnancy
  • The challenges I faced in motherhood, including postpartum depression, anxiety, and feeling disconnected from my sense of self
  • My struggles to reconnect with my passions and dreams outside of motherhood.

Today I'm covering 3 belief shifts to help mom guilt NOT hold us back anymore. I'm talking about truly changing the narrative that we have with mom guilt so that ultimately it can have LESS POWER AND IMPACT over us and our goals. We can't get rid of mom guilt, and actually, we shouldn't necessarily want to, but we CAN change how we think about mom guilt and what we do with it.

You just have to tune in to hear about these mindset shifts, I promise it'll change your whole perspective on mom guilt!

Today's episode is about the importance and impact of learning to listen to your intuition and leverage your internal GPS system to help make decisions that are aligned for you specifically and therefore are more successful.

So often we get caught up in what we think we "should" do or what others are doing and instead, if we can learn to go inward and tap into our internal guidance, we can move towards our goals and ambitions faster and easier.

This episode will explain and help you learn to identify your intuition and feel empowered and excited to listen to it.

Topics Covered:

  • What your intuition and internal GPS system is and the impact of making decisions from this lens
  • HOW to begin getting to know your intuition again and the way your internal GPS system sends you signals
  • Potential roadblocks that can get in the way of trusting your intuition

This is episode number 2 in our mini-series on working smarter, not harder! Please check out episode 5 to hear the beginning of the series!

Most of us have heard of or created a vision board before. We usually start out really excited about it, but over time it no longer helps keep us motivated or focused. Instead, we can create a vision blueprint that is a lot more specific, targeted, and much more effective at giving us clarity, motivation, and focus.

In this episode, I show you exactly how!

Episode topics:

  • What a vision blueprint is and why it is more effective than a vision board
  • A few key how-tos when creating a vision blueprint
  • The movie theater effect that makes vision blueprints so effective
  • How to leverage your vision blueprint easily in your daily life to help with clarity and motivation
  • Action steps for this week to practice vision blueprinting

This episode talks about the importance of building a confident mindset as the foundation for building your dreams. We often see mindset work as a nice-to-have to not a big priority, but it is actually the foundation for our dreams and goals to stand on. Our mindset is what will help us weather doubts, fears, insecurities, and anxiety about what if's.

This episode shares 3 best practices for building a confident mindset:

1. Controlling the narrative or stories you attach to things that happen in your life.

2. Protect what you let into your energetic bubble. You don't have to 'receive' things that people say or put out there that don't serve you.

3. Practicing gratitude on a consistent basis.

Tune in, you don't want to miss it!

This episode is about the power of compounding action in order to take more effective results-driven actions in your career & business/life goals so that you move those dreams forward faster with less input of stress, energy and time.

If we learn to leverage the universe and our internal GPS system to take vision-driven aligned actions for our goals then we can actually move those goals and dreams forward faster and more effectively. We want to take actions that get us the most bang for our buck as moms instead of trying to just do more to do more or hustle harder.

Episode highlights:

  • What is compounding action
  • How moms can leverage compounding action when deciding what action steps to focus on in their current career/business/life goals
  • The benefits of compounding action - less hustle, less stress, less burnout AND more wins, more ease, more clarity, and ultimately faster more effective results
  • The importance of vision-driven decision making versus circumstance based decision making

This is a special birthday episode...but not my birthday, my daughter's! She turns two this week and I thought this was a perfect time to reflect back over the last 2 years as a first-time mom navigating business, career, relationships, mental health, motherhood and so much more.

I wanted to share the important lessons I learned in case it can help another mom early on in her journey not beat herself up as much I did or a fellow toddler mom not feel so alone. This episode will share the raw, real, and honest takeaways from my journey into motherhood - both the good and the bad. It will cover topics such as:

  • How to navigate all the pressures and different 'rules' we get told about motherhood and learn to listen to our gut and write our own rule book
  • Not beating yourself up if you're not the Pinterest mom all the time
  • The importance of taking care of yourself is a priority and not just a "nice to have" or "maybe later"
  • Juggling relationships, friendships, and how to ask for help even if you don't have a big village
  • Never giving up on your dreams
  • Not feeling guilty if you decide to pivot your career to align with your new role as a mom
  • Giving yourself grace if your experience of motherhood has been more challenging than expected and the importance of finding joy and happiness even in the tough seasons

AND so much more!
