Naomi Clark is the CEO of Her Money Map where she helps women transform their mindset around money and partners with them to create cash flow strategies that support their values and lifetime goals. Her mission is to help women crush their self-limiting beliefs and barriers when it comes to money. She believes one of the primary reasons women struggle with confidence in making financial decisions is in large part due to the patriarchy which is designed to make women feel doubtful and distracted.Naomi is also the creator and host of "The OutSpoken Girlfriend" podcast where she encourages and celebrates women to step into their best selves - their authentic selves. But this isn't your typical personal development podcast. As a self-described "sworn enemy of the patriarchy" Naomi provides strategies and tactics that teaches women how to dismantle the patriarchy as they pursue their best lives.In the "muggle world" Naomi has a degree in Finance with over 20 years of corporate experience in Accounting, Supply Chain Management, and Project Management.In addition to all this, Naomi is one of the OGs of the Shameless Mom community and one of our speakers for Shameless Mom Con 2020. I think you’re going to love hearing her story of growth and transformation as a Shameless Mom.Listen in to hear Naomi share: What the American Dream looked like for her as a black woman and why it was not so dreamy How letting her life get really small made her life miserable How setting the simple goal of cleaning off her dresser snowballed into cleaning up the vision for her life The truth about working against the patriarchy - and how she’s helping women do this powerful work Her powerful message for white moms and white women Links mentioned: Hear Naomi speak at Shameless Mom Con 2020 Connect with Naomi The Outspoken Girlfriend Podcast The Outspoken Girlfriend Facebook group Naomi on Instagram: The Out Spoken Girlfriend Thank you to our sponsors: Lightstream: Just for my listeners: apply now to get an additional interest rate discount.

Have you ever met a woman who didn’t have anything to offer?Yeah, me neither. Every woman I’ve ever met has had something extraordinary and unique that qualifies her to take up her very own special place in this world. While you may fully recognize what other women have to offer, you may fail to see what you have to offer. You may think that everyone else has something to offer - and you don’t. This is simply untrue. This became glaring to me when I recently asked in our private FB group, “What’s holding you back from attending Shameless Mom Con?” A few mamas said they were worried they didn’t have anything to offer and thought they might not fit in with the other awesome attendees. Isn’t it funny (and sad!) how we get in our own way???Listen in to hear me coach you out of this mindset that you have less to offer than anyone around you. Listen in to hear the truth.Links Mentioned:Join me at Shameless Mom Con 2020Thank you to our sponsors: Undercover Tourist: Start planning your next theme park vacation now by visiting UndercoverTourist.com/SHAMELESS.

Today I am taking a moment to celebrate Black History Month. To be honest, this moment feels too short and inadequate. I really wish I planned better for this month because this celebration deserves more attention than what I have created space for. While I aim to elevate black women and black moms all year long in the SMA, I understand the special importance of taking extra time to do this in February and I have already committed to dedicating more than one episode to this next year. I hope that in acknowledging my imperfect action here, other white allies will step up their game too. This is work is crucial, even when the steps feel too small. Something is better than nothing. And I vow to keep learning more so I can keep doing more. Listen in to learn how to celebrate black history and black women by becoming a better ally and, better yet, an accomplice. Please take notes as I share powerful resources and a fantastic list of podcasts hosted by black women whom I admire tremendously. I want you to go subscribe to them all!Links mentioned:Join me at Shameless Mom Con 2020Podcasts recommendations: Laura Cathcart Robbins: The Only One In The Room Nikita Burks-Hale: Journey Gurl Magic Naomi Clark: The Outspoken Girlfriend Tavona Givens: She Is Still Standing Tavona Givens Omolara Uwemedimo: Supermom Rehab Jamila Payne: Daily Success Show Nicole Walters: The Nicole Walters Podcast Rachel Rodgers: Million Dollar Badass Book recommendations: So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo White Fragility by Robin Diangelo This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad How To Be An Anti Racist by Ibram Kendi Thank you to our sponsors: Betabrand: Right now, our listeners can get 20% off their first order when you go to betabrand.com/shameless (shameless must be lowercase).

I recently had a week where everything just felt so off and so out of my control. Can you relate? We’ve all been there. It’s hard. And... it’s ok to not be ok.Sometimes we try to just blow past our emotions or frustrations. We feel like we don’t have time for them. I mean, who has extra time to sit around feeling dumpy??But it’s also necessary to process why we are not ok. Some questions to ask:What got me here?Why is it so uncomfortable?Did I make a poor choice? Am I absorbing and owning someone else’s junk?How can I make things better - not just put a bandaid on it - but really make it better?How can I create some space to figure out positive and powerful next steps?If you find yourself putting up a front on the regular, this episode is for you. Give yourself permission to stop faking fine and be less than awesome every now and then.Links mentioned: Join me at Shameless Mom Con 2020 Book: The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday Thank you to our sponsors: Openfit: Right now, my listeners get an extended 14-day FREE trial membership to OPENFIT when you text SHAMELESS to 505050.

I recently did a full episode (Ep 391) on why moms lack self-trust. The quick & dirty is this: women are conditioned from a very early age to trust others thoughts/opinions/judgements/instincts over our own. So, by the time we get to motherhood, we are already struggling (greatly) to listen to our gut. And babies make this even harder - because we must prioritize their needs over our own. We stop noticing that we’re hungry or tired or in need of, well, anything. We learn to shut off our own needs entirely. If you didn’t listen to episode 391, go back and do that. THEN, listen in here to hear how you can relearn self-trust. In this episode, I teach you two powerful feedback loops that will help you learn how to trust your gut and your power in new and profound ways. The second feedback loop is the most critical, so make sure to listen to the end - especially if you’re someone who struggles to find success in the face of failure and struggles. I am dedicating myself to rebuilding self-trust in 2020. It is one of my top priorities this year. Any of you are welcome to join me on this journey of learning to trust again. I am ALL IN on listening inward this year. Let’s do it together!Links Mentioned: Join us at Shameless Mom Con 2020 SMA Ep 391: Why Moms Lack Self Trust  Thank you to our sponsors: Betabrand: Right now, our listeners can get 20% off their first order when you go to betabrand.com/shameless (shameless must be lowercase).
