The Mothers’ Empowerment Podcast

As we land on the other side of the holidays and slip back into school routines, a lot can feel stirred up—both in our waking lives and in our dreams.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Genevieve Camp—board certified art therapist, certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and coach, evolutionary astrologer, dreamwork guide, and mama to a wildly creative nine-year-old. Genevieve works at the intersection of trauma healing,...

As mothers, we’re told that if we just try harder, get more disciplined, and stick to our resolutions, life will finally feel better.

But what if the problem isn’t your willpower at all…

What if it’s that your nervous system is already over capacity, and your inner critic is running the show?

In this powerful New Year episode, I’m joined by multi–award-winning psychotherapist, executive coach, and author Lisa Skeffington, who h...

The holidays arrive at the exact moment nature is inviting us to slow down — but modern holiday culture pushes us to speed up. In this episode, Isabelle explains why that mismatch can strain the nervous system, why holiday “overreactions” are often nervous system state shifts (not personality flaws), and how old brain patterns can get triggered by scents, songs, family dynamics, and sensory overload.

You’ll learn a simple 3-step re...

As the holidays approach, many women find themselves walking on eggshells — carefully managing other people’s emotions to avoid conflict, guilt, or drama. In this episode, Isabelle explores why “offense” can become a subtle control mechanism in relationships, and why being willing to disappoint someone (kindly) can actually create more honesty, trust, and intimacy.

You’ll learn how to stop living under the “tyranny of the tantrum,”...

If the holidays tend to leave you feeling like the overworked event planner, caterer, housekeeper, and emotional support human all rolled into one… this episode is for you.

In this conversation-style solo episode, Isabelle invites you to gently rewrite the “mom does everything” script and begin relating to your family as an actual team during the holidays.

You’ll receive real, word-for-word scripts you can use with:

What does it really mean to feel safe—especially when the world around us feels anything but? In this heart-opening conversation with my dear friend and somatic-based life coach, Nicole Dreon, we explore what it means to come home to your body, to your truth, and to your own sense of inner safety.

Nicole helps us understand how our nervous systems are designed to protect us, even when that looks like shutting down, snapping at our ...

What if the emotions we've been taught to eliminate—judgment, guilt, and shame—are actually essential tools for raising grounded, accountable children?

In this episode, I'm challenging the cultural narrative that says all judgment is bad, all guilt is toxic, and all shame is damaging. While anger, sadness, and offense are celebrated in our culture, we've made it taboo to discern right from wrong, to feel guilty when we've hurt some...

In this episode of The Mother’s Empowerment Podcast, I share how I’ve come to see motherhood as visionary leadership. I open up about moments in my own parenting when I’ve felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure—and how those very moments became my teachers in what true leadership really is.
