Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever noticed that the minute you walk through your front door after vacation, your brain stops thinking about all the incredible memories you just made... and immediately starts making a mental list of everything you need to do? 

Laundry.  Groceries.  Emails.  Work.  Meal planning.  Back-to-school prep. 

As working moms, it's so easy to feel like w...

Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever noticed that the minute you get home from vacation, your brain immediately shifts into productivity mode? 

Laundry.  Groceries.  Emails.  Work.  The never-ending to-do list. 

As working moms, it's easy to convince ourselves that we're already behind before we've even unpacked our suitcases. 

But what if vacation wasn't an interr...

Hi Mamas,

Have you ever had one unexpected moment make you feel like all your plans were about to fall apart?

That's exactly what happened to my family just 36 hours before we were supposed to leave for Spain.

In this episode, I'm sharing the story of the huge curveball that had us questioning whether we'd even make the trip… and the three mindset shifts that helped me move from panic and overwhelm to problem-solving.

Life i...

Hi Mamas,

Have you ever felt like your mind was racing with everything that could go wrong?

The work deadlines. The parenting challenges. The never-ending to-do list. The unexpected curveballs that seem to show up at the worst possible time.

This week I’m sharing how a simple shift in perspective helped me move from feeling completely overwhelmed to taking productive action.

Recording from Valencia, Spain, on my iphone (so pl...

Hi Mamas,

Have you ever found yourself saying...

"We should definitely get together sometime!"

...and then months go by?

You're not alone.

As working moms, we're balancing careers, parenting, marriages, household responsibilities, and everything in between. Friendships often fall to the bottom of the list—not because they aren't important, but because we're convinced we'll make time for them later.

In today's episode, Kerri s...

Hi Mamas, 

Do you ever find yourself saying... 

"I'd love to spend more time with my friends... when life slows down." 

As busy working moms, we're constantly juggling work, kids, marriage, household responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. It's easy to believe we'll invest in our relationships once we have more free time. 

But what if stronger relationships aren't built because we suddenly have more time?&nbs...

Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever had an entire day ruined because one thing didn't go according to plan? 

Maybe your workday blew up before lunch.  Your kids started arguing before you'd even had your coffee.  Dinner burned.  Your vacation started with mosquito bites instead of beach chairs. 

As working moms, we spend so much time planning our lives that we often forget one important t...

Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever reached the end of the day feeling like everything went wrong? 

As busy working moms, it's easy to let one stressful meeting, one parenting challenge, or one unexpected inconvenience define our entire day. But what if we intentionally chose to focus on what went right instead? 

In this week's Monday Mindset episode, I'm sharing a simple quote that's been on my he...

Hi Mamas, 

For years, I've taught the famous rocks, pebbles, and sand time management analogy. 

Put the big rocks in first. 

Then everything else fits around them. 

But during a recent Sunday homily, I heard one sentence that completely changed the way I've thought about that lesson for years: 

"The first big rock should be God." 

That simple statement conne...

Hi Mamas, 

What are you carrying that was never yours to carry? 

As working moms, we're often praised for doing it all. 

We remember the appointments. 

Manage the schedules. 

Keep track of the grocery list. 

Support our families. 

Show up at work. 

Take care of everyone else. 

But somewhere along the way, many of us start believing that if we don't do everything...&nb...

Hi Mamas, 

In this special episode celebrating 25 years with my husband, Russ, I'm sharing our unexpected love story, the surprising way God brought us together, and the simple habits that have helped us stay connected through careers, raising three kids, work stress, college applications, and all the beautiful chaos of family life. 

If you've ever felt like you and your spouse spend more time managing sche...

Hi Mamas,

As working moms, it's easy to spend our days taking care of everyone else. Work deadlines, kids' schedules, laundry, meals, errands, and endless to-do lists can quietly push our relationships to the bottom of the priority list.

In this week's Monday Mindset, we're talking about one simple but powerful truth:

"Love grows best in the spaces we intentionally make for it."

If you've been feeling disconnected from your spouse ...

Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever found yourself advocating fiercely for your kids, your family, or your team… but struggling to speak up for yourself? 

You're not alone. 

In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson that life has been reminding me of lately: advocating for yourself isn't asking for special treatment—it's communicating what you need so you can continue showing up at your best without burning yourse...

Hi Mamas, 

As working moms, many of us take pride in doing our jobs well. 

We show up. 

We work hard. 

We care deeply about the quality of our work. 

And whether we absolutely love our jobs or simply see them as a way to provide for our families, many of us have something in common: 

We don't know how to stop. 

In today's Monday Mindset, I'm sharing a powerful reminder that has been on my heart la...

Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever closed your laptop after a stressful day at work only to find yourself replaying emails, meetings, and conversations long after the workday ended? 

In today's episode, I'm sharing something that's been weighing heavily on my heart. 

Work has been stressful lately. 

At the exact same time, life has been incredibly full in the best possible way.

Hi Mamas, 

Have you ever avoided a photo, skipped a pool day, dreaded a vacation, or put your life on hold because you weren't happy with your body? 

In this episode I talk about one of my biggest insecurities… weight gain, cellulite, and how I almost let my body image steal the joy from a bucket-list trip to Las Vegas with Russ. After a terrifying emergency landing put life into persp...

Hi Mamas,

Have you ever opened social media feeling perfectly content... Only to close the app wondering if you're doing enough?

Enough as a mom. Enough in your career. Enough around the house. Enough in life.

You're not alone.

Today we're having an honest conversation about social media comparison, mom guilt, and the pressure so many women feel when they constantly consume other people's highlight reels.
