Today I am going to be chatting with you a bit about my favorite productivity strategies and how I personally juggle all of the different things I’m doing these days.

My goal with this episode is to not only inspire you to start integrating those things into your life that are really meaningful and will fulfill you – because I think we all really need that as working parents – but also to give you real strategies that you can apply to your own life that aren’t just going to distract you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The reason why I usually don’t like sharing “productivity hacks” and don’t put a whole lot of emphasis on them.
  • How I Identify which goals are worth pursuing and which ones aren’t worth my time.
  • How I set specific goals and outline a plan to achieve them.
  • How I work through those moments when I’m not motivated to continue toward my goals.
  • How I make sure I’m not sacrificing the things that are most important to me: specifically my health, my family, and my sanity.

Working Parent Resource - WPR052: Getting Your Kids Organized with Susie Salinas
play

04/11/18 • 51 min

Episode Summary:

Today’s episode is all about getting your kid’s stuff organized! I don’t know about you, but one of the biggest challenges my husband and I have is keeping all of our kid’s stuff in order. As soon as my older son was born, we immediately started accumulating kid gear: strollers, toys, clothes, books... the list is endless. And now that there are two of them, it’s multiplying exponentially. The conversation I have with my guest today, Susie Salinas, was so helpful in creating some structure in our home when it comes to our kid’s stuff.

Susie Salinas is a mom of 3, military spouse, and owner of “Systems by Susie,” a business that helps busy moms develop long-term, easy-to-maintain solutions to keep their homes, their lives, and their kids organized and stress-free. She also has an online shop where she sells School Memory Boxes and other ready-made organizing solutions.

Episode Summary:

I could just talk to our guest today, Monica Froese, forever. She is honestly a reservoir of helpful information and a pioneer who’s doing what she can to help working families create more balanced and less stressful lives. She’s a working mom herself who’s felt the exhaustion and the frustration, and decided to take matters into her own hands to start a productive conversation to begin changing things for the better (a girl after my own heart!). I truly enjoyed this conversation, and love the message she’s spreading.

Monica Froese is a mom, wife, author and business strategist for mom entrepreneurs. She has an MBA degree in Finance and Marketing and blogs at www.RedefiningMom.com, a site for empowering working moms. In 2015, she traveled to the White House to discuss family-friendly workplace policies with President Obama’s senior advisors and has been featured on several media outlets including Fox News, Scary Mommy, Healthline, and Mom Talk Radio. Her passion is to help other moms find their version of balance through time management tips, flexible work options, and helping women build online businesses to escape the 9-5. Her new eBook, “Busy Moms Building: 12 Steps to Running Your Own Online Business for Busy Moms,” helps moms start their own online businesses in just 45 days.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to process those overwhelming emotions that come up when you return to work after having your baby.
  • How to deal with the judgment we face when we become a working parent, and standing up to the expectations of others that we stay home with our kids.
  • Learn about the conversations they’re having in Washington around the struggles facing working families, including maternity leave laws, managing your packed (and often inflexible work) schedule, childcare expenses, etc.

Working Parent Resource - WPR002: My "I Can't Do This Anymore" Working Mom Moment
play

01/18/17 • 55 min

Episode Summary:

Today I’m going to do one of my “Moments of Truth” episodes, where I tell you a personal story from a moment in my past when I learned an important life lesson. In all of these Moments of Truth episodes, my goal is to pinpoint that moment where there was a fundamental shift in my perspective in life. These moments changed who I was as a person on a deeper level. And now that I have some hindsight (and honestly, I’ve done YEARS of therapy and learning and self-reflection and introspection on some of these issues), so I can look back and see that there was a pretty clear BEFORE and an AFTER to these moments. So today I wanted to drill down and analyze the details of actually HAPPENED in this situation to shape the trajectory of my life. And hopefully, if you’ve gone through anything similar or if you’re going through something like this now, you can benefit from some of the hard stuff I went through and maybe it won’t be quite so hard for you.

Today I’ll be sharing with you my “I can’t do this anymore” working mom moment. There was a moment on my path as a working mom where I hit rock bottom, so to speak. There was a point where I saw the type of life I was living, and I knew I couldn’t continue going on that way. In my story today, I’m going to paint a picture of what my life looked life BEFORE this moment. Then I’ll go through the transformation that took place for me, and then I’ll give you an idea of what the AFTER picture looks like now too.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

  • You’ll hear an honest and authentic recount of the moment when I realized that I couldn’t keep up the pace of my demanding working parent life.
  • I break down this experience and paint two pictures for you: my BEFORE picture (which was pretty dreary, but probably quite relatable to most of you), and my AFTER picture (what my life is like now).
  • I isolate the important lessons I learned as I transitioned from that broken, exhausted working mom in to the more relaxed and balanced working mom I am today (including concrete action steps you can utilize in your own life).

Episode Summary:

In this episode we talk about finding strength and identity in those tough moments of parenthood, and goodness knows we have plenty of those as working parents right? I loved this conversation with our guest Becky Burgess. I had so many questions prepared for her, and I didn't touch on most of them because our conversation just flowed so organically in wonderful directions. I loved the vulnerability and the heart and the wisdom that Becky shared with us today, and I hope you do too!

Becky Burgess is a mother of two and a wife to her high school sweetheart. She owns a social media marketing company, Splash Owl Media. When she was pregnant with her first baby, she decided she wanted to have an all-natural childbirth, and she had both of her children via water-birth at a birthing center. After a series of difficult personal events including getting fired from her job during her maternity leave and dealing with postpartum depression, she started seeing a therapist and was finally able to set some much-needed boundaries, manage her postpartum depression, and find love in the little moments. As she calls it, she "redefined herself."

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Becky shares her personal experience into parenthood, and how becoming a parent helped her become crystal clear about WHO she really is, and what she really wanted out of her life.
  • We also chat about the struggles that come with constantly adapting to our kids' changing schedules and needs.
  • We talk about how we shut out all of the judgments and advice and tap into our own instincts about the best way to be a parent in our own, unique lives (and how we can keep our own judgments in check).

Episode Summary:

Today we’re chatting with Suzanne Brown. Suzanne is a full-time mom to 2 young boys, wife, part-time business and marketing strategy consultant, writer, and avid international traveler. She helps businesses understand how marketing can help their bottom line and helps them work better with their marketing agencies.

Before focusing on her own business endeavors about 4 years ago, Suzanne worked at various large marketing agencies in Austin, New York, Miami, Chicago and San Antonio. Suzanne has more than 15 years of experience managing and developing integrated marketing campaigns and projects for primarily Fortune 500 companies.

In mid-2013, in addition to her consulting work, Suzanne started researching for her book, “Mompowerment: Insights from Successful Professional Part-time Working Moms who Balance Career & Family,” to share advice and insights from over 100 part-time working moms. She also just gave a talk at TEDx SMU Women.

Suzanne received her MBA in marketing and a BBA in Finance from the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas - Austin. She also holds a BA in Spanish from UT Austin.

Suzanne and her family live in Austin, Texas.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How modern professionals are getting creative to design work arrangements that provide the flexibility, space, and freedom they’ve been craving.
  • You’ll hear about the interviews Suzanne has conducted with over a hundred working moms (and counting!) about how they created their own part-time and flexible work situations without having to take a step back in their careers. She describes the amazing variety of solutions other working moms have used to create more time for their families and themselves.
  • You’ll receive some tips you can use to begin to craft your own part-time schedule, even if you work for a demanding company, and even if no one else in your organization is doing it.
  • You’ll also hear the broader social shifts that are occurring across the U.S. that we hope will support companies to adapt to working family needs so we can keep talented working parents in the workplace.

Working Parent Resource - WPR025: How to Kick Guilt to the Curb with Valerie Friedlander
play

08/16/17 • 53 min

Episode Summary:

Valerie is a Certified Professional Coach and Empowerment Mentor, Loving Mom and Wife, and Founder of TheUnlimitedMom.com. Not long ago Valerie was one of the many Moms struggling with feeling overwhelmed, out of balance, and guilty for wanting more. Through making a decision to do something different, the support of her own coach, and learning the skills of coaching and energy leadership, she tapped into her purpose, increased her energy, and is actively creating a life she loves. Valerie is dedicated to helping other Moms achieve the serenity, joy, and fulfillment they seek. She enjoys working with passionate women who are ready to ditch the limits of “this is as good as it gets” and step into creating their own unique, authentic, and amazing Mom-life. Valerie believes you deserve to live a vibrant life and that by doing so, you are setting the foundation for the happy and healthy life that you want for your child. Her mission is to help you do just that.

Guilt is a topic that tends to come up all the time among high-achieving moms and dads, especially these days when work is more demanding than ever and the standards of “good parenting” are as high as they’ve ever been. I’ve heard so many people say that there’s no way to avoid guilt as a working parent, or even as a parent in general. I don’t necessarily disagree with that – we all have our moments where we make mistakes or do something that we’re not particularly proud of. But I think the guilt has gotten out of control, and I hope today’s episode has helped you release at least a little of that unnecessary guilt. You work hard. You’re a great parent. I can guarantee you’re doing the best you can on any given day, so I hope something you hear here today resonates so you can start to treat yourself with a little more kindness.

Episode Summary:

Yael Schonbrun is a clinical psychologist in private practice and assistant professor at Brown University. In her spare time, she is a stay-at-home mother to her three boys. Her book exploring the psychology of straddling an ambitious professional and engaged family life is coming out soon.

A big theme on this podcast is balancing our lives as parents along with our lives as professionals. This is one of those topics that really will never have a “right” answer. Striking the right balance between an engaged family life and a fulfilling professional life is something that we all have to figure out for ourselves based on our own unique situations, and it’s also something we’ll also need to re-evaluate and tweak as time goes on. Our guest today is an expert in striking a healthy and fulfilling balance between these two roles in our lives, so hopefully this episode will provide some guidance and inspiration for you as you answer some of these questions in your own life.

Episode Summary:

Today’s episode is close to my heart, because I went through my own experience with Adrenal Fatigue and it was ruining my life. I just thought I was tired and burned out, so I kept trying to come up with more ways to be productive, to get more done in less time. But it turns out that was just perpetuating my symptoms. I was exhausted. I was cranky. I kept landing in urgent care with what I thought was strep throat, and was about to have surgery even though my doctors didn’t have a real diagnosis for what I was experiencing. I also had trouble getting pregnant for nearly a year, which I also think was related to my own Adrenal Fatigue. I had no idea that’s what I was dealing with, and once I identified Adrenal Fatigue as the cause of my health issues, I was able to treat it and finally start feeling like myself again within a month.
