E228: Balancing Work, Family, and ADHD with Crystal Ware
05/30/24 • 65 min
How do you juggle growing professionally while also being a great mom and taking care of yourself?
Meet today’s guest, Crystal Ware. Crystal and I dive into a dual episode that is being aired both on my podcast and on her podcast “Get Clear with Crystal Ware”.
From discussing the struggles of balancing work and family, to offering advice on advocating for a raise at work, Crystal's insights provide valuable guidance for women in professional settings.
Together, we’re exploring the complexities of managing ADHD in both mothers and their children, shedding light on medication, emotional regulation, and the importance of self-care.
Crystal Ware is on a mission to empower women to pursue their dreams with confidence, authenticity and purpose. She left a successful (yet stressful) career as a Fortune 500 leader and attorney on her quest to find more time, money and freedom, trading in the title of “attorney” for a new role as “entrepreneur and coach”.
Now, she helps other women define their own path to success, wealth, health, so they, too, can have the joy, faith, and freedom that she created for herself!
Crystal believes everyone can build their dream and find true satisfaction and fulfillment, they just need to get clear on their dreams, build the courage, and find a little inspiration.
That's why she launched the Get Clear with Crystal Ware Podcast (with more than 100 inspiring episodes to tune in for), and recently launched her new website, The Well Defined Woman. You are made for more, so join her in creating it for yourself.

E227: Restart Habits You Gave Up On
When you feel like a BIG loser and failure...
Eryn asks for help: “I'm always disappointed in myself that when faced with one small obstacle, I give up and cave on everything I've worked so hard to build and then it takes me WEEKS just to summon the effort/courage to get back on track - whether with diet/exercise, my small business, supporting my husband in his own business, or keeping a consistent routine for my 4 kids. It's so defeating and, as a wife & mom, makes me feel like the BIGGEST loser and failure.”
Struggles and frustration are bound to come while parenting, especially with ADHD in the mix.
It’s especially frustrating when you’ve worked so hard to establish habits and they seem to fall apart when the slightest thing changes!
How can you pick back up where you were and feel successful in the habits you’ve built?
Today, I’m covering 3 questions I ask myself when things feel too hard and I want to give up. I hope they help you get back on the horse, too!

E229: Putting Off Your Big Dreams & Goals as a Mom
Are you feeling anxious or lazy cuz you’re avoiding tasks you need or want to do?
Do you want to achieve a big goal but think it isn’t realistic right now?
What if you *never* get around to the big dreams you have?
*cue PANIC*
When you’ve spent years feeling like you’re procrastinating, being lazy, and not understanding why you can’t just do the thing, you can easily get confused when there is something you really want to do but it’s not a good fit right now.
Sometimes life is too full for one more project.
Sometimes you’re just trying to keep your head above water.
Suddenly, ignoring the unfolded laundry basket, avoiding your finances, not going back to finish your degree, and ordering takeout instead of cooking dinner all end up in the same bucket.
But these are not the same kinds of projects when it comes to procrastination and avoidance.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I distinguish when I'm actively avoiding something versus choosing to set up my life in a way that fits me and my family.
You’re NOT an inherently lazy person who will never accomplish anything ever. Let’s make some sense of these conflicting feelings.
