Are you struggling to find a better work life balance? Do you feel overwhelmed with the mental load of being a working mom? Want more time for rest and time for yourself? Would you like to finally find peace as a working mom without shame and guilt? Are you ready to create the life you want as a working mom? I’m so excited you’re here! This podcast will help you own your schedule, be more present at home, increase career fulfillment, reduce guilt and stress - and create time for you. Hey there, I’m Lacy. As a working mom of four boys, a wife and career executive, I know the stress that comes with pursuing a career in tandem with motherhood. While raising our crew alongside my husband, I held a variety of individual contributor and executive roles in both startup and corporate environments. Being a working mom is hard. At times I felt like I had it all together and other times, I felt like I was letting everyone down. I found myself chasing perfection and the elusive work life balance we’ve been conditioned to pursue. I was treading water and felt like I was letting everyone down. I finally realized I needed to shift my mindset and the lens with which I viewed my relationship with work and motherhood. To do this, I had to get clarity on several aspects of life and surround myself with people that supported me. I needed to recognize the moments - both good and frustrating - that made me who I am and shake the guilt that comes with perfectionism. In essence, I needed to get unstuck in order to create a life I truly enjoyed at home and at work. In this podcast, you will find time saving solutions, motivation for the hard days, and a roadmap to mindset transformation. I’m honored to share many of these reflection points and introduce you to some amazing working moms who will impart their perspectives, all while having some fun along the way! If you’re ready to thrive as a working mom, creating flexibility and the life you’ve always dreamed of, you’re in the right place!

As a working mom, it’s easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of commitments and obligations. From professional responsibilities to personal goals, we often find ourselves juggling an endless list of tasks.
In the midst of the chaos, it’s important to recognize the importance of pausing, reflecting, and reprioritizing. Sometimes in our careers we take a step back, while other times we take a huge leap forward. Similarly, as our child...
In today's fast-paced, achievement-oriented society, working moms face a unique and often overwhelming set of challenges. Juggling careers, households, parenting, and personal ambitions requires an extraordinary level of dedication and resilience. Despite all of the concentrated efforts, many find it difficult to ask for help. This reluctance is often rooted in a comple...
You put boundaries in place to protect your time and priorities...but why does it seem like you're living in hustle culture, treading water and barely keeping up? Weren't those boundaries to keep us from getting to this pace of life in the first place?
If you're anything like me, you think you're coming at life from a strategic perspective where you're making decisions that are best for your time and family. But more often than not...
One of the most common frustrations for the working moms I talk with, is centered around not having enough time. Have you ever said any of the following:
Ever had one of those moments that replayed over and over in your mind? Before you know it, you've become consumed with what happened, what you could have done or said differently, and how other's must have perceived you?

Today, we're walking through exactly what it is an...
Have you ever found yourself thinking that the grass must be greener on the other side of the fence?
Whether that grass resembles the idea of a new job or dreaming of a better marriage...we often look to big changes that can give us satisfaction.
Sometimes, though, the grass is actually green where we're at, and we only need to make a few minor modifications to live the life we've always dreamed.
Join me as we walk through an unc...

It's time to get real about your time. So often, we are upholding obligations and priorities of other people without much consideration to their impact on our own schedules. We carry the expectations of others or what we think we "should" be doing as working moms...and before we know it, we're spending time in areas we never would have chosen.
In today's episode, we're talking through how you can identify opportunities to shed ot...
Have you ever told yourself....
If I wear the right clothes, I'll be taken seriously?
Or
If I work a certain way, I'll finally get that promotion?
Or
If I do all the things as a mom, I'll be a great mom?
We tell ourselves a lot of stories, but rarely do we consider what we'd do if there were no expectations, pressures or judgement being placed on us.
Who are you as a working mom outside of everyone else's expectations? It's an...
One of the most common sources of guilt for working moms is missing our children's activities due to work commitments.
I have missed games and practices...and soon to be a band concert. I'm not a perfect mom by any means, but these moments don't make me a bad one. And they don't make you a terrible mother either!
In today's episode, we'll delve into the roots of this guilt, offer a more realistic perspective, and explore the posi...

Today's episode is focused on HOW to get more time for yourself. Motivation is the spark that gets us going, habits keep us consistent and moving forward...but then life throws curveballs at us and everything seems to fall apart.
At the end of the day, discipline is what makes sure we uphold our promise to ourselves for self-care. So, one could make the argument that discipline = self-care. And, in fact, on today's show...I do mak...
Work Life Balance. We've all heard the term, and many of us are on the search for it. We actively seek out jobs and routines that help us find more balance in our lives between work and family.
But there's a drawback to the concept of work life balance, and that is how quickly it leads us to compartmentalizing and black and white thinking.
Work life balance is subjective and difficult to quantify, making it that much harder to ac...
