37: How to fit your kids into your life (not the other way around!)

In this episode, I’m proudly airing my interview from Becoming Unstoppable—the podcast hosted by my dear friend, licensed therapist, and women’s empowerment advocate Allison Guilbault.

The episode title says it all:
“You Can Have It All: Let Motherhood Enhance Your Identity, Not Replace It.”
Can I get an AMEN!?
If you’ve ever felt like being a “good mom” means shrinking your life, letting go of your dreams, or carrying an invisible weight of guilt... this one’s for you.

🎧 Inside this episode, we explore:
• Why “fitting your kids into your life” (instead of the reverse) is healthier for everyone
• What burnout really looks like - and how your to-do list might be making it worse
• How to manage your energy, not just your time
• The truth about comparison, perfectionism, and mom guilt (and how to let it go)
• Simple strategies to prioritize your core values - without trying to do it all

This episode is for every mom who’s been told she has to give something up to be great at parenting - whether it’s her career, her health, her freedom, or her sense of self.
You’ll walk away feeling seen, validated, and equipped with real mindset shifts that help you ditch the guilt and reclaim what matters most to you.
