Feeling like you have no time for rituals or connection with your kiddos lately? This episode is for you!

This week on the Mama Work It podcast, I interviewed Monica Virga Alborno, founder of Wanderwild Family Retreats and host of Wand(HER)wild podcast. Former Fortune 500 executive and a globe-trotting mother of two, Monica shares her incredible journey from corporate leadership to conscious entrepreneurship, all while parenting young children as an expat living in Norway.

With roots in New Jersey and a heart that spans the globe, Monica opens up about what it means to create sacred rituals within motherhood, how to intentionally build a life and business that aligns with your values, and how even the busiest mama can find small but powerful ways to reconnect—with herself and her children.

Whether you're deep in the trenches of motherhood or looking for more meaning in your everyday routines, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and supported.

Here's what you’ll get out of today’s episode:

·       What sacred self-care looks like in the context of modern motherhood

·       Simple ways to introduce intentional rituals for moms who feel like they’re just surviving

·       How Monica weaves her global experiences, leadership background, and passion for holistic growth into everything she creates

 

Here’s how to connect with Monica and learn more about her amazing retreats after the show:
