The Power of Pivoting: How motherhood transforms your identity and sense of self with Monica Ortega
The Motherhood Mentor
04/22/25 • 69 min
Motherhood creates one of life's biggest pivots, fundamentally shifting how we see ourselves and approach life's challenges and opportunities. Monica Ortega shares her journey from LA actress and travel host to Denver mom of two, illuminating how identity transforms us through major life transitions.
In this episode we talk about:
• Comfort zones differ for everyone – for high-achievers, slowing down is often more uncomfortable than facing fears or doing big hard gritty things
• The "messy middle" of pivoting feels chaotic but offers unique opportunities for growth and self-discovery
• Learning to differentiate between feelings and identity helps prevent emotional spirals
• Creating a "badass letter" listing all your past challenges builds resilience for future pivots
• Perfectionism goes to die in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and marriage – flexibility becomes essential
• You can have ambitious goals while extending your timeline to accommodate new seasons of life
• Distinguishing between guilt stemming from internal values versus external expectations clarifies decision-making
• View "failures" as data collection for better future decisions rather than personal shortcomings
• Remember: you can always change direction – no decision is truly permanent
This episode with Monica was so great.

Balance, burnout, and hormones. What to do when you are already doing all the right things and it's not enough with Erin Trier
The Motherhood Mentor
03/25/25 • 60 min
Are you a mom juggling business, family, and trying to optimize and prioritize your own health and wellbeing? If you are like many of the women I know, you have already doing so many of the right things and feel like it's not working anymore or it's not doing enough. Join me and my guest Erin Trier as we talk and deep dive into all things health, wellness, hormones, and burnout.
How does our health need to evolve with our goals and stages of life? How can we honor the cycles and seasons of what we need? In a world that tells us to do and have it all, Erin emphasizes the significance of individual needs and fluctuating expectations.
Explore the dynamic world of women's health as we discuss the concept of "inside out health," which encourages women to understand their unique physiology and hormonal cycles. With Erin's guidance and the Empower Method, learn how to track cycles, recognize hormonal fluctuations, and build hormone-supportive habits. This episode highlights the importance of balancing the physical, mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual aspects of health, and how embracing imperfect balance can nurture overall well-being. Discover how aligning fitness and nutrition with hormonal cycles can enhance energy, mood, and productivity.
In a world that often pressures women to have it all, Erin emphasizes the significance of understanding personal capacity and recognizing life's natural ebb and flow. As we navigate perimenopause and other transitions, we discuss the necessity for stress-reducing practices and the importance of tuning into personal needs. Erin's insights remind us that fulfillment and balance come from honoring our unique journeys, allowing for rest and rejuvenation, and building a supportive foundation for long-term happiness and health. Join us for a conversation that empowers women to prioritize what truly matters and find grace in life's seasons.

Beyond calm: nervous system regulation for moms and business owners
The Motherhood Mentor
02/27/25 • 28 min
Calm and balanced are no longer my goal. Why? Because sometimes life needs and requires me to be activated. It's healthy for us to have anger, rage, overwhelm, and burnout.
Discover the power of understanding the window of tolerance through a holistic perspective and how our personal histories shape our stress responses. By acknowledging the natural highs and lows of our nervous system, we can cultivate health in both the "winter" and "summer" phases of our lives. I discuss the often-overlooked struggle mothers face in distinguishing their emotions from their children's, and why setting healthy emotional boundaries is essential for preventing emotional dysregulation.
Explore the concept of dynamic balance with me, as we move beyond the limiting ideals of rigidity and flaccidity. Drawing parallels to the changing seasons, I share insights on building a resilient life force through somatic healing and updating unconscious patterns that may be holding us back. Instead of striving for an unrealistic state of constant calm, learn how to build resilience and adaptability, empowering you to face life's challenges with both strength and vulnerability. If you're ready to embark on this transformative journey, consider joining me to enhance your emotional and nervous system regulation, fostering lasting transformation and self-trust throughout all of life's seasons.
We were never meant to always be or feel balanced and calm. But we can build dynamic range of health, resiliance- building deep roots of wellbeing that can help us meet out lives with the appropriate force needed for good. Sometimes that health is activation in fight or flight and sometimes that health is freezing or fawning. We just don't want to become stuck or cycled into our dysregulation.

The Motherhood Mentor

In this empowering episode of the Motherhood Mentor Podcast, Becca dives into the phrase “ If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no” and how that is often not true for her. When is “no” a boundary- and when is it a self imposed limiting belief, or even a safety response from avoiding discomfort or activation? Join me as I share a transformative journey from fear to freedom, exploring how imposter syndrome and self-doubt hold us back in motherhood, business, and personal growth.
Becca shares her personal story of overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, navigating visibility fears, and learning to trust herself as she steps into new opportunities. Through engaging narratives, including a metaphor about her fear of heights and starting her podcast, Becca shows how fear can often disguise itself as a barrier to growth, when in fact it’s an invitation to step into something greater.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How to recognize and dismantle imposter syndrome in your life.
- The power of self-trust and how to build it in motherhood and beyond.
- Why embracing life’s "gray areas" and mundane tasks can lead to deep personal growth.
- The importance of setting boundaries and understanding your capacity, both in motherhood and in daily life.
- How to move beyond the “hell yes or hell no” mentality and make empowered decisions that serve your personal values.
