I’m so excited to have Lori Aikman, the go-to girl for female entrepreneurs to uplevel their health, on Project: Mom today. As a mom who also talks to other moms almost daily, I know one thing that many of us can have in common is constantly feeling like we’re on the edge of burnout. Healing this often goes beyond traditional self-care and deeper into the root causes of fatigue, overstimulation, resentment, and more. In this conversation, Lori is giving us a behind-the-scenes look into how she supports her patients to help them feel in control of how they’re feeling post-birth, especially as entrepreneurs. Tune in to hear actionable steps you can take today to step out of burnout and into deep healing.

This is a bittersweet episode for me – the last of Season 1.
Today I want to talk about something that’s very loud for me. It’s been at the forefront of a lot of the decisions I’m making – or, to be honest, putting off making. How do you navigate building something that doesn’t make any money?
I’ve asked my guests what advice they have for someone who’s IN IT right now – or who aspires to create something for themselves. What I’ve heard: Patience is key. Trust the timeline. Have an abundance mindset.
Which makes sense, but when you’re in the thick of it, it feels really hard. Sometimes even impossible. I share this because the goal of this podcast right now is to create a community, to let other mothers know they’re not alone.
Over the next few months, we’ll be highlighting the amazing content and guests from season one. Season 2 is on track to begin March 2023!Resources & Links

Life is so much better when you live from the heart.

Today’s guest, Randi Halaway, has helped me do just this and I’m so excited for you to meet her. Randi is a heart-centered soul and business coach who helps women transform chaos into abundance, and she cracks her heart WIDE open in this episode.

As moms, we can be so hard on ourselves – from being afraid to take sacred time for ourselves to showing up for our kids in the way we want to. Sometimes it might feel like we have to be perfect for them, or that we must shield them from hurt.

What if we took that pressure off ourselves and showed up in a way that’s just authentically ourselves?

Randi is the woman who guided me through this rollercoaster journey, from quitting my corporate sales job, launching a business, and having a baby, which was followed by the most difficult year of my life mentally. She provided me with the tools to resettle back into my body to find clarity and peace.

In this conversation, we’ll explore how we can reconnect to our intuition and our heart space.
