    347. How to Keep Going When Your Dreams Take Longer Than Planned Aug 18, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas, ,

    Three years ago, I wrote a letter to my future self.

    As part of a podcasting course, one of the assignments was to imagine where I'd be one year later. In that letter, I congratulated myself for reaching 100,000 podcast downloads.

    There was just one problem...

    I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.

    At the time, I had only been listening to podcasts for a few months. I didn't know anything about microphones, editing, downloads, algorithms, or SEO. I wasn't active on social media. I worked a full-time corporate job, and I'm an introvert who has never been particularly comfortable putting myself out there.

    I was simply a working mom with a dream.

    I thought I'd reach 100,000 downloads in one year.

    Instead...

    It took me three and a half.

    And honestly?

    I wouldn't change a thing.

    In this very special milestone episode, I'm sharing the story behind the first 100,000 downloads, the dreams I had to put on hold, the one dream I refused to let die, and why I believe a delayed dream is not a dead dream.

    This episode isn't really about podcast downloads.

    It's about perseverance.

    It's about motherhood.

    It's about staying committed to the dreams that God—or the universe—placed on your heart, even when life doesn't unfold according to your timeline.

    And most importantly...

    It's a thank-you.

    To every single one of you who has listened, shared, encouraged me, and allowed me to be part of your mornings, your commutes, your workouts, and your life.

    From the bottom of my heart...

    Thank you.

    In This Episode, We Talk About:

    • The letter I wrote to my future self when I first started my podcast
    • Why I thought I'd reach 100,000 downloads in just one year
    • What I didn't know about podcasting when I first started
    • Balancing a full-time corporate career while building a passion project
    • The dreams I had to put on hold… and the one I refused to give up
    • What consistency has taught me over the last 350+ episodes
    • Why I call my podcast my "nonprofit"
    • The incredible feeling of reaching listeners in more than 150 countries
    • Why your dreams don't expire just because life gets busy
    • Encouragement for anyone who feels like they're behind on their own journey

    A Special Thank You

    Whether you've been listening since episode one or you just found this podcast yesterday...

    Thank you.

    Thank you for choosing to spend your time with me.

    Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey.

    Thank you for helping turn a dream that once lived only in a letter into something I never imagined possible.

    Here's to the first 100,000 downloads...

    And to everything still to come.

    346. Working Mom Mindset: Why It’s Not Too Late to Reach Your Goals Aug 17, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Do you ever feel like you should be further along by now?

    Maybe you thought you’d have started the business, changed careers, lost the weight, saved more money, written the book, gone back to school, or finally accomplished that goal that has been sitting on your heart.

    But life happened.

    Motherhood happened. Work got busy. Your priorities shifted. A hard season came along. And suddenly the timeline you had in your head looks nothing like your actual life.

    In today’s Monday Mindset episode of Mom Wife Career Life, we’re talking about this reminder:

    “A dream doesn’t expire just because it takes longer than you thought.”

    As working moms, we’re pursuing our goals while also raising kids, building careers, managing homes, nurturing relationships, and navigating seasons of life that don't always go according to plan. Sometimes pursuing a dream doesn’t look like going all in. Sometimes perseverance means slowing down without quitting.

    Sometimes it means letting go of the timeline while still holding onto the dream.

    In this episode, we’re talking about:

    ✨ Why taking longer doesn’t mean you’ve failed,

    ✨ Why comparing your timeline to someone else’s can steal your motivation, and

    ✨ How to keep a dream alive even during seasons when you don’t have the time or capacity to give it everything.

    💛 This Week's Challenge

    Think about one dream or goal you’ve quietly started believing you’re behind on and ask yourself:

    “What is one small thing I can do to keep this dream alive?”

    You don’t need to figure out the entire plan today. You don’t need to completely change your life this week.

    Just take one small step.

    Because you’re allowed to change the timeline without giving up on the dream.

    And make sure you come back tomorrow for a very special episode where I’m sharing a huge Mom Wife Career Life milestone, the dream I wrote down when I first started this podcast, and what finally reaching it taught me about goals, perseverance, and refusing to give up—even when it takes much longer than you expected.

    🎧 Listen now and share this episode with a working mom who needs the reminder that she is not too late to go after the life she wants.

    345. Back-to-School Systems Every Working Mom Needs: My Best Time & Sanity Saving Tips Aug 11, 2026
    Show notes

    Hey Mama,

    Back-to-school season is here, and if you're already feeling like your calendar is filling up faster than your coffee cup, you're not alone!

    This week, I'm bringing back one of my most popular back-to-school episodes… but with a twist. While the foundation is the same, I've updated it with new lessons, fresh tips, and a behind-the-scenes look at how our own family's routines are changing this year.

    This school year looks very different for us. Ashley is heading off to college, which means we're adjusting to life without our extra driver, learning new routines, and navigating all the emotions that come with a new season of motherhood. At the same time, Kaylee and Michael are starting another school year, and just like many of you, I'm looking for simple ways to stay organized without adding more stress to our days.

    In this episode, I'm sharing the systems and habits that help our family start the school year feeling calmer, more organized, and less overwhelmed.

    In This Episode, We Talk About:

    • Why having one shared family calendar creates a single source of truth for your household
    • Building your schedule around your non-negotiables before filling in everything else
    • Creating simple morning and evening routines that make busy weekdays easier
    • Why I've become a big believer in simplifying where you can—even if that means buying school lunch instead of packing it every day
    • Setting healthy after-school screen time boundaries
    • Creating systems that reduce decision fatigue and mental load
    • Why protecting margin on your calendar is just as important as staying organized
    • Simple ways to make back-to-school season feel more intentional and less chaotic

    This Week's Reminder

    You don't need a perfect plan to have a successful school year.

    You just need a few simple systems that support your family and the flexibility to adjust as life changes.

    Remember, organization isn't about doing more—it's about making life easier.

    344. Working Mom Mindset: Stop Trying To Fit More Into Your Life & Make Room For What Matters Most Aug 10, 2026
    Show notes

    Hey Mama,

    As we head into back-to-school season, it's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we need to fit everything into our already full schedules. New routines, school drop-offs, sports, homework, work deadlines, and family responsibilities all seem to arrive at once.

    But this week, I want to challenge you to think about things differently.

    Instead of asking yourself, "How am I going to fit it all in?" what if you asked:

    "What deserves a place in my life this season?"

    Every season of motherhood is different. As our children grow, our schedules change, and our responsibilities evolve, our priorities have to evolve too.

    In this episode, I encourage you to stop trying to squeeze more into your days and instead make intentional space for the things that matter most.

    In This Episode:

    • Why September often feels so overwhelming
    • A simple mindset shift to reduce stress before the school year begins
    • Why every season of motherhood requires different priorities
    • How to create more balance by making intentional choices instead of trying to do it all
    • This week's Monday Mindset Challenge

    This Week's Mindset Shift

    "Stop trying to fit more into your life, and start making more room for what matters most."

    This Week's Challenge

    Take five minutes to look at your calendar for the week ahead.

    Instead of asking, "Where can I fit one more thing?" ask yourself:

    "What deserves a place in my life this season?"

    Then challenge yourself to remove, postpone, or say "no" to one thing that no longer aligns with your priorities.

    Sometimes creating balance isn't about finding more time—it's about making more room for what matters most.

    343. How To Reset After Vacation Without Feeling Behind 6 Simple Tips For Working Moms Aug 04, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Have you ever noticed that the minute you walk through your front door after vacation, your brain stops thinking about all the incredible memories you just made... and immediately starts making a mental list of everything you need to do?

    Laundry.
    Groceries.
    Emails.
    Work.
    Meal planning.
    Back-to-school prep.

    As working moms, it's so easy to feel like we're already behind before we've even unpacked our suitcases.

    In today's episode, I'm sharing six simple ways to reset after vacation without feeling overwhelmed so you can transition back into everyday life with more peace, less stress, and a whole lot more intention.

    After returning home from an unforgettable two-week family trip to Spain, I realized one of the biggest lessons I brought home had nothing to do with travel. It was the reminder that vacation isn't an interruption to your life… it is your life. And instead of rushing to "catch up," maybe what we really need is a gentle reset.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why giving yourself a buffer day after vacation can make all the difference
    • How to avoid trying to reset your entire life in one day
    • Why rebuilding your routines matters more than having a perfectly clean house
    • The mindset shift that will help you stop feeling like you're constantly behind
    • How choosing just ONE reset can reduce overwhelm and build momentum
    • Simple ways to bring the slower, more intentional feeling of vacation home with you

    If you're heading back to work, preparing for back-to-school season, or simply feeling overwhelmed after time away, this episode will help you reset with grace instead of guilt.

    342. Working Mom Mindset: Don't Rush To Get Back To Life Aug 03, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Have you ever noticed that the minute you get home from vacation, your brain immediately shifts into productivity mode?

    Laundry.
    Groceries.
    Emails.
    Work.
    The never-ending to-do list.

    As working moms, it's easy to convince ourselves that we're already behind before we've even unpacked our suitcases.

    But what if vacation wasn't an interruption to your life?

    What if it was your life?

    In today's Monday Mindset episode, I'm sharing a simple but powerful mindset shift inspired by our recent family trip to Spain—one that reminded me that the memories we make, the moments we slow down, and the time we spend with the people we love aren't distractions from life... they're the reason we work so hard in the first place.

    Before you dive back into your busy schedule, this episode will encourage you to pause, reflect, and choose one thing you want to carry home from your vacation besides your suitcase.

    In this episode, we'll talk about:

    ✨ Why working moms often feel "behind" the moment vacation ends

    ✨ The mindset shift that helped me stop trying to catch up

    ✨ Why being present is more important than being productive

    ✨ How to bring the best parts of vacation into your everyday life

    ✨ One simple question that can change the way you start your week

    💛 This Week's Monday Mindset Challenge

    Before you jump back into your to-do list, ask yourself:

    "What's one feeling, one habit, or one moment from my vacation that I want to carry into this week?"

    Choose just one.

    Maybe it's slowing down at dinner.

    Taking an evening walk.

    Putting your phone away for an hour.

    Or simply giving yourself permission to be fully present.

    341. When Life Throws You A Curveball: 3 Ways To Move Forward Without Feeling Overwhelmed Jul 28, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Have you ever had one unexpected moment make you feel like all your plans were about to fall apart?

    That's exactly what happened to my family just 36 hours before we were supposed to leave for Spain.

    In this episode, I'm sharing the story of the huge curveball that had us questioning whether we'd even make the trip… and the three mindset shifts that helped me move from panic and overwhelm to problem-solving.

    Life is always going to throw us unexpected challenges. Whether it's something happening at work, a financial setback, a parenting struggle, or an unexpected health issue, we can't always control what happens to us. But we can control how we respond.

    One simple question completely changed my perspective:

    "What's my next best step?"

    Instead of trying to solve the entire problem, I focused on taking one step at a time… and that's exactly what I hope you'll do the next time life throws you a curveball.

    In this episode, I share:

    ✨ The unexpected event that almost caused us to cancel our family vacation to Spain.

    ✨ Why trying to solve the entire problem often creates more overwhelm.

    ✨ The three mindset shifts that helped me move forward when everything felt uncertain.

    ✨ How I used ChatGPT as a brainstorming and problem-solving tool during one of our most stressful weekends.

    ✨ Why different doesn't automatically mean ruined—and how some of life's biggest curveballs often become our favorite memories.

    My Three Takeaways

    💛 Accept reality faster.

    I didn't have to like what was happening, but accepting it allowed me to stop wishing things were different and start looking for solutions.

    💛 Focus on what you can control.

    I couldn't magically heal Michael's ankle, but I could research options, make backup plans, adjust our expectations, and keep moving forward.

    💛 Don't let one problem steal your joy.

    Our vacation looked different than we originally imagined, but different didn't mean ruined. In fact, some of our favorite memories came from the very thing we thought might derail the trip.

    This Week's Reflection

    The next time life throws you a curveball, pause and ask yourself:

    "What's my next best step?"

    You don't have to have the entire plan figured out today.

    You just have to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

    340. Working Mom Mindset: Feeling Overwhelmed? Ask Yourself This One Simple Question Jul 27, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Have you ever felt like your mind was racing with everything that could go wrong?

    The work deadlines.
    The parenting challenges.
    The never-ending to-do list.
    The unexpected curveballs that seem to show up at the worst possible time.

    This week I’m sharing how a simple shift in perspective helped me move from feeling completely overwhelmed to taking productive action.

    Recording from Valencia, Spain, on my iphone (so please give me grace with the sound quality!_ I reflect on why we often become overwhelmed… not because we have too much to do, but because we're trying to solve tomorrow's problems before we've taken today's first step.

    I also share an important lesson I’ve taught my own kids for years: when life gets messy, you don't have to have all the answers…you just need to know your next right step.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why overwhelm often comes from trying to solve everything at once.
    • The one question that can help you quiet an anxious, racing mind.
    • Why clarity comes from taking action… not waiting until you have all the answers.
    • A parenting lesson Kerri hopes her kids never forget.
    • A simple challenge to help you feel calmer and more intentional this week.

    This Week's Mindset Shift

    "Overwhelm fades when you stop trying to solve everything and simply ask, 'What's my next best step?'"

    💛 This Week's Challenge

    The next time you catch yourself spiraling, pause before trying to solve the entire problem.

    Instead, ask yourself:

    "What's my next best step?"

    Then take that one step before worrying about the next one.

    Small, intentional steps create momentum—and momentum leads to clarity.

    339. How Busy Working Moms Can Build Strong Friendships (Without Adding More to Their Plate) Jul 21, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Have you ever found yourself saying...

    "We should definitely get together sometime!"

    ...and then months go by?

    You're not alone.

    As working moms, we're balancing careers, parenting, marriages, household responsibilities, and everything in between. Friendships often fall to the bottom of the list—not because they aren't important, but because we're convinced we'll make time for them later.

    In today's episode, Kerri shares personal stories about reconnecting over coffee, spontaneous girls' nights, and how those small moments of connection became exactly what she needed during one of the busiest seasons of her life.

    She also shares practical, realistic ways to build friendships that actually fit into your life right now.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why making friends gets harder as we get older
    • The mindset shift every busy mom needs about adult friendships
    • How to build friendships without adding more to your calendar
    • Why small moments of connection matter more than big plans
    • Simple ways to meet new people in places you're already going
    • How to overcome social anxiety or introversion when making friends
    • Why being the one who reaches out can change everything
    • How your "village" helps you become a better mom, wife, and professional

    Friendships aren't built because we suddenly have more time. They're built because we decide the people are worth making time for.

    338. Working Mom Mindset: The Quality Of Your Life Is the Quality Of Your Relationnships Jul 20, 2026
    Show notes

    Hi Mamas,

    Do you ever find yourself saying...

    "I'd love to spend more time with my friends... when life slows down."

    As busy working moms, we're constantly juggling work, kids, marriage, household responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. It's easy to believe we'll invest in our relationships once we have more free time.

    But what if stronger relationships aren't built because we suddenly have more time?

    What if they're built because we intentionally make time for the people who matter most?

    In this week's Monday Mindset, we're shifting the way we think about connection and reminding ourselves that even the smallest moments—a quick text, a phone call, a walk, or an hour over coffee—can strengthen the relationships that make life richer.

    In this episode you'll discover:

    ❤️ Why waiting for life to "slow down" usually doesn't work

    ❤️ How small moments create meaningful relationships

    ❤️ Why intentional connection matters more than having extra time

    ❤️ This week's simple challenge to strengthen one relationship

    If this episode encouraged you, share it with another working mom who could use the reminder.

    And be sure to come back tomorrow as we continue this conversation with practical tips on how to make and maintain friendships as a busy working mom—even when you feel like you have no time.

    💛 This Week's Challenge

    Reach out to one person this week.

    Send the text.

    Make the call.

    Plan the coffee date.

    Schedule the walk.

    Invite another couple over for dinner.

    Or simply reconnect with someone you've been thinking about.

    Because life is busy.

    It always will be.

    But the people we love deserve more than whatever time happens to be left over.
