Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms

Clarity is essential to work-life balance. When you are clear, you don’t second guess yourself and you make more decisive decisions. Clarity is like a road map for your brain telling it what is most important.

For most women, once they have children their priorities change. What was once important no longer seems to matter. This is a moment where most women need to re-decide what it is they want in their life. They need to decide what living “regret-free” looks like.

In this episode I’m going to dive into the 3 things you need to get clear on if you are going to create balance. I will focus on finding clarity in your career, long term goals and day-to-day priorities.

This is part 2 of a 4 part series on creating work-life balance.

If you're not feeling really good about you and your work, you're likely not going to feel balanced in life. If you're constantly looking for other people to validate how good you are and what you're doing, you're going to spend too long perfecting things. If you're really hard on yourself and have a lot of negative self-talk, you’re going to waste time and energy in self-judgement and indecision and likely never experience balance. A confident relationship with yourself is literally the foundation for a balanced life.

In this episode, I will explain several misconceptions about work-life balance, the truth about what it actually is and the 4 components that make up a balanced working mom life.

I will dive deep into the first component, confidence, and share why I think it is the foundation to creating a balanced life. We will cover why knowing who you are and who you are not is vital to being confident and ultimately how true confidence is being able to separate how good you are as a person, mom and worker from how much you accomplish.

This is part one of a 4 part series.

Topics in this episode:
