Can you believe it, mama? We?ve hit 200 episodes! ?

When I launched the Mama Work It Podcast back in January 2021, I had no idea how many incredible conversations, lessons, and stories would unfold. Over nearly five years, I?ve had the honor of connecting with some truly inspiring guests?moms, experts, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders?who?ve all taught me something powerful about what it means to be an ambitious mom.

In this special milestone episode, I?m reflecting on 10 of the most impactful lessons I?ve learned from guests since day one. Whether you?ve been here since Episode 1 or just joined the community, these takeaways are golden reminders for every stage of motherhood, ambition, and life.

Being an ambitious mom means constantly learning, evolving, and showing up for yourself and your family. These lessons remind us that ambition and motherhood don?t compete?they complement each other beautifully.

We?re back for Season 6 of the Mama Work It Podcast! After a much-needed break (and a big international trip?my first since becoming a mom!), I?m diving into a topic that has been front and center for me lately: identity shifts in motherhood.

Motherhood changes us in so many ways, and while some of those shifts feel natural, others can leave us feeling like we?ve lost touch with parts of ourselves we used to love. In this episode, I?m getting real about the identities I?ve reconnected with, the ones I?ve had to let go of, and the ways I?m intentionally stepping into new ones.

What you?ll hear in this episode:

How Blindspotting coaching and identity awareness helped me reflect on the layers of who we are.The part of me I rediscovered while traveling abroad this summer?and why it felt like reuniting with an old friend.Why I chose FUN as my 2025 word of the year and how I?m prioritizing joy alongside responsibility.How slowing down has surprisingly helped me move forward faster.Past identity shifts?from corporate leader to entrepreneur?and how I learned to own my new role even when it felt uncomfortable.Encouragement for any mama navigating identity changes in work, motherhood, or life.

When you hear the word ?Mom?, I imagine the word ?vulnerable? doesn?t come to mind. No way! You?re glancing from left to right and fishing through your purse for sunscreen or water or a granola bar. There it is?half eaten, but still good. 

As a mom, being vulnerable can feel like something we are very uncomfortable with. Plus, who has time for that? 

And yet, vulnerability is what connects us the most. Vulnerability can form long lasting friendships. Vulnerability can be the key we need to get into a happier and less lonely mental space. Vulnerability, as taboo as it is, is the secret sauce for moms to thrive, not just survive the season of motherhood. Because doing the impossible shouldn?t be something we do masked in silence. 

As a writer being the core of what I love to do, I wrote a vulnerable story I?m sharing with you this week on the podcast (and the blog). Whether you relate to the content of the story or not, I hope you feel empowered to share your vulnerability with the world too, because chances are it will connect you more than you ever imagined.

Different kind of episode this week?hope you enjoy!
