I’ve known for the last few years that motherhood is a massive qualifier for any CEO role. For quite some time I’ve been compiling lists in my head of different ways motherhood prepares a woman to lead and negotiate and teach and advocate at the highest level. But when I sat down to create a master list of the TOP ways motherhood qualifies a woman to be a CEO, I could barely contain my excitement. The thoughts that had been swarming in my head for years came pouring out and the connections were so clear and so obvious. It is not a stretch by any means to state that motherhood qualifies you to lead at the very highest level. In fact, I would suggest that in some (many?) instances those who are not mothers are significantly less qualified to lead at the highest levels.Motherhood requires you to be a master multitasker, people manager, time manager, negotiator, decision-maker, action taker, planner, budgeter, teacher, coach, mentor, visionary, value creator, boundary enforcer, teammate and advocate who can be patient, persuasive, compassionate, fearless, agile, empathetic, resilient, intentional, resourceful, disciplined, determined, and tenacious as all get out. Tell me what other role, job, experience would make you more qualified to be a CEO?You are capable of being the CEO of your life, your household, your community, and any other organization you want to build or lead. If you’re not 100% certain of that already, this episode is for you. Listen in. More than once.Links mentioned: Enrollment is open for MOMENTUM Mamas for a very limited time at a big discount: Momentum Join us at Shameless Mom Con 2020: Shameless Mom Thank you to our sponsors: Lola: Get organic cotton tampons and other hygiene products delivered right to your door.

You can’t afford to be indifferent. You can’t afford to not care or have an opinion. When you let others have all the opinions and all the loud voices, you also let them have all the power. When you let others play big while you stay small, you risk losing or never even acquiring what is rightfully yours. When you don’t create space to own and honor your truths you miss opportunities to share your strengths, gifts, and talents with the world - massively limiting your impact and your legacy.When we as women don’t show ALL THE WAY UP we pay the ultimate price - perpetuating sexism and gender inequality on a global level.You might think I’m sounding a little dramatic here. A little “extra”, as the kids would say. I’m going big with this statement and my beliefs around this because I’m not willing to passively perpetuate gender inequality and I’m not interested in growing a community of passive women who want to stay cozy and comfy with the status quo.I’m here for you - and for your power, your gifts, your opinions, your stories, and the legacy you’re building. I’m here to see you get the promotion, get the raise, get a seat at the board room table and rock the mic on the biggest stages. So, let’s go be a little extra together, shall we? Links mentioned:Get your Early Bird tickets to Shameless Mom Con 2020: Shameless Mom ConBook: Moment of Lift by Melinda GatesThank you to our sponsors: Homer: Visit Homer to start a free 30-day trial.

When the inspiration for this episode hit me I got super excited. Typical. But then I got a little worried. Not typical. I worried that I would put an episode out there that told you all to “BUILD SOMETHING!”  and you all would say:“HOW?”“ WHEN?”“ WHYYYYY????”Look, you work your butt off as it is. I SEE YOU. You hustle like a mother to get yourself and the kids out the door in the morning, to run a household, to reach your professional aspirations, to keep allll the balls in the air. And now I’m gonna tell you to go build something on top of all that. It’s a tall order. And also….It might be the key to your sanity, your joy, and your most ideal mental health.You were born to create something - whether it’s creating a plentiful garden, a knitting circle, a community of like-minded women, a side hustle selling makeup, or an online business.In creating something, you have the opportunity to tap into the truest parts of yourself. And this is crucial in motherhood. One of the most important parts of managing the motherload of motherhood is staying connected to YOU - and those parts of your identity that exist outside of marriage and motherhood that don’t have a ton of opportunity to SHINE unless you make the time to let them shine.In this episode, I’m going to talk you through 4 reasons to build something outside of marriage and motherhood and 5 ways to get to building. Building something that you’re ridiculously proud of doesn’t have to consume a ton of time and energy. And chances are the thing you build will actually give you energy and motivation in other areas of your life. Are you ready? Let’s do this!Links Mentioned:Join our free private FB group: Shameless MomJoin us for Shameless Mom Con 2020! Get your Early Bird tickets here!Thank you to our sponsors: Rothy’s: To get free shipping on any order of Rothy’s shoes, as well as free returns, go to Rothy's and use the code SHAMELESS at checkout.

I took a serious vow 10 weeks ago.I vowed to embrace adventure over chaos for the summer. I embraced this mission with all my heart. I had a strategic plan. I had a support crew.I had hope.And even with all that, this mission was HARD. There is no denying that there were moments of magic this summer. There were plenty of those. And for that, I’m beyond grateful. But I’m ending this season exhausted and in need of rest and reflection to figure out how I can do better next year. Even in the face of fatigue, there were some valuable takeaways from my “adventure over chaos” mission. I learned: I can be wildly productive in short stints of time if that’s all I have I can keep my business growing outside of the structure and routine I typically thrive in I can ask for help and everyone will immediately lean in to help me I can compartmentalize work and play more than I thought I could (barely, lol) My simple routines keep me grounded, even in chaos (morning practice and workouts, mainly) In the absence of full days to myself, small blocks of restorative time make a big difference I’m not as immune to mom guilt as I thought I was Listen in to this full episode if you’re also recovering from a season of overwhelm OR approaching a season of overwhelm. There are some powerful lessons shared that will help you through the hustle!Links mentioned:Shameless Mom Con 2020 tickets are available!!
