  • #335 - The Power of Minimalism For Working Moms
    Mar 9 2025

    As moms and accountants, we often feel like we’re always running to keep up. There are deadlines to meet, kids to care for, and piles of things—both literal and figurative—demanding our attention. It’s easy to feel stretched thin and wonder if there’s another way.

    What if simplifying your surroundings could make life feel more manageable? What if letting go of the unnecessary could give you more time, energy, and peace of mind?

    Think about how much better you feel when you walk into a clean, organized room. Or how much more productive you are when your desk is free of distractions. Minimalism is about creating more of those moments—more calm, more focus, and more space for what truly matters.

    This week, I’m going to discuss when ‘more’ becomes too much and embracing minimalism for clarity and control.

  • #334 - How to Build Unshakable Self-Confidence
    Mar 2 2025

    Have you ever wished that self-doubt would disappear and you'd be able to do what you want, when you want? Well, what if self-confidence isn’t something you have to earn, but something you can create right now?

    Many people wait for external validation—like a promotion or praise—before feeling confident, but that approach keeps confidence just out of reach. True self-confidence isn’t about knowing everything or proving yourself first; it’s about trusting your ability to figure things out along the way.

    Instead of waiting to feel ready, consider that confidence is what helps you achieve your goals, not the other way around.

    This week, I’m going to discuss the confidence trap: waiting for permission and shifting the focus: building confidence from within.

  • #333 - How to Do The Impossible (Even When You Doubt Yourself)
    Feb 23 2025

    Have you ever stopped to think about the things you’re doing now that once felt completely out of reach? It’s amazing how often we achieve things we didn’t think we could—until we actually did.

    Maybe it’s juggling work and motherhood when you used to wonder how anyone did both. Or maybe it’s tackling a job you once thought you weren’t qualified for, managing a household during chaotic weeks, or handling a tough situation you never imagined you’d get through.

    But here’s the thing: how often do we stop to give ourselves credit for those wins? How often do we pause to think, “Wow, I did something I thought I couldn’t do”?

    Most of us don’t. We just move on to the next challenge, the next to-do, or the next big goal.

    This week, I’m going to discuss how doubt isn’t the obstacle to doing the impossible and how to believe in yourself, not just the goal.

  • #332 - Why You Should Practice New Thoughts And How To Do It
    Feb 16 2025

    Have you ever noticed how some thoughts just keep popping up, even when you’re not trying to think them? It’s like they’re on autopilot, running quietly in the background while you go about your day.

    And it’s not just the good thoughts, either. It’s often the worries, the doubts, and those sneaky self-criticisms that feel like they’ve set up camp in our minds.

    As moms, we juggle so much, and it can feel like our minds are always full. We’ve got thoughts about the kids, work, our relationships, and that never-ending list of things we feel we should be doing better. And even if we try to focus on the positive, those familiar thoughts seem to stick around, don’t they?

    The good news is that we can change this. We can create new ways of thinking and start shifting our focus toward things that empower us rather than hold us back. But it does take a little intention and patience.

    This week, I’m going to discuss why our thoughts keep us stuck and how to move toward new thoughts.

  • #331 - My Secret To Getting More Done In Less Time
    Feb 9 2025

    What if I told you there’s a hidden factor behind why some days feel productive while others feel like a constant battle? It’s not time management strategies or fancy apps—it’s your emotions.

    Think about it—have you ever felt scattered, struggling to focus, only to realize later it was because of stress? Or felt guilty about work-life balance, and that guilt kept distracting you? These emotions steal our time and energy without us even noticing.

    If we want to get more done in less time, we have to acknowledge the role emotions play. Time management tools are great, but they don’t stand a chance if we’re weighed down by stress.

    This week, I’m going to discuss how unproductive emotions sabotage productivity and how to take control of unproductive emotions and get more done in less time.

  • #330 - How to Spot Manipulation and Take Back Control
    Feb 2 2025

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation with someone and felt this weird mix of guilt, frustration, or even self-doubt, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on why? Maybe it was something subtle, like a comment that left you wondering if you’ve somehow let them down.

    Or maybe they just hinted that you should be doing something differently, and suddenly, you’re questioning yourself. I think we’ve all been there – those moments when someone’s words stick with us in a way that doesn’t feel good but feels hard to shake off.

    That’s what emotional manipulation can feel like. It’s sneaky, and most of us don’t realize what’s happening until we’ve been pulled into it.

    This week, I’m going to discuss the hidden problem of emotional manipulation, taking back control and setting boundaries, and practical ways to strengthen your boundaries.

  • #329 - The 4 C’s Every Accountant Mom Needs to Know to 'Create Margin' in Her Life
    Jan 26 2025

    Have you ever wished you had just a little extra space in your life? Not more things to do, but more room to do them—more breathing room between tasks, more time to pause, and more energy left at the end of the day?

    If that idea sounds like a distant dream, you’re in good company. For so many working moms, especially those of us in demanding professions like accounting, the concept of having space in your life can feel like a luxury you just don’t have.

    But what if creating this kind of space—what I call creating “margin”—was actually within reach? What if it was more about small, intentional changes than a massive overhaul?

    This week, I’m going to discuss the concept of “creating margin” and the 4 C’s for creating margin in your life.
