Can Women Have It All? Exploring Happiness in Motherhood with Dr. Giselle Goodwin
Can women really have it all? And what does that even mean? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Giselle Goodwin—author, researcher, and expert on women’s work and wellbeing—to explore this question and dive in to what it means for moms to achieve true happiness. Dr. Goodwin shares insights from her book "Can Women Really Have It All? A Happiness Handbook for Working Mothers" , and opens up about her own journey from feminist ideals to the complex realities of balancing career, motherhood, and personal fulfillment. Dr. Goodwin and I talk about: 📈 The evolving (and still unrealistic) societal expectations placed on mothers 💼 Why flexible work, better childcare, and equitable parental leave matter for everyone ⚖️ The emotional load of motherhood 😃Happiness is a mix of pleasure and purpose 💝Practical self-care strategies for busy moms—like bare minimums, micro-joys, and guilt-free delegation A little about our guest: Dr. Giselle Goodwin grew up in Canada and now lives in Cheshire, England with her husband and two teenage daughters.

While juggling her career and family life, she often felt like she was failing on all fronts. Driven by a desire to find a better way – not just for herself but for her children – Dr. Goodwin returned to university to explore the elusive issue of women’s work-life balance.

Inner child healing expert Lavinia Brown is joining the podcast to talk about the power of working on our inner child in order to parent the way we actually want!

Part French, Spanish, Austro-Hungarian, Scottish and English, Lavinia has lived and worked in Hong Kong, Paris, Bali, Goa, Geneva, Spain, London and Cambridge and now lives with her partner and 3 children on the Costa Brava in Spain.

Breaking Free From Good Girl Conditioning with Carley Weissert
Good girl conditioning starts so early for most of us - if you've ever identified as a people-pleaser or perfectionist, chances are you are in this boat. This week, empowerment coach Carley Weissert is joining us to uncover how this pervasive conditioning happens and the impacts it can have through our lives, plus some ways we can start to break free from the inauthenticity it brings. In the episode Carley and I talk about: The umbrella of good girl conditioning, including perfectionism and people-pleasing How Carley realized her perfect-on-paper life wasn't actually what she wanted The power of pausing Motherhood as a motivator to address good girl conditioning How inner-child healing can help us align to what we actually desire Learning when to say yes and when to say no A little about our guest: Carley Weissert is an empowerment coach on a mission to help women reconnect to their authentic selves and create lives they can’t get enough of. Just a few years ago, Carley had the perfect life on paper. And yet despite appearing to have it all, she felt like something was missing—a symptom of ignoring her inner voice for years. Around the start of the pandemic, she dove into feminine work, embracing play, exploring her sexuality, and finding her voice. This journey of self-discovery led Carley to flip her life upside down and do one of the scariest things she'd ever done—end her marriage. Flash forward to now, Carley is in a fulfilling relationship, nourished by deep sisterhood connections, and unapologetically prioritize self-care. Coaching is Carley's passion because she understands the silent struggles of women who feel lost or stuck—she's been there! Carley blends a variety of tools ranging from inner child work to somatic emotional release to guide clients toward their true selves. She combine methods she's learned with her own playful energy and deep understanding of what it feels like to be an actress in your own life. In Carley's free time, she enjoys staying active, exploring farmers markets, and having Taylor Swift dance parties with her two little girls!

I Was a Hot Mess Before Motherhood... Now I’m Reclaiming the "Hot Mess Mom" Title
There's been a push over the last few years to pull away from "hot mess mom" culture, because moms don't have to be sacrificing themselves and showing up disheveled and drained to be considered "good enough." And I'm 100% on board with that. I am a huge proponent of moms prioritizing and taking care of themselves, and completely do not support messages that say otherwise. But here's the thing, I've always been a "hot mess," and becoming mother definitely did not make that less true. If anything, having kids has made getting my sh*t together even more of a challenge. And so here and now, I'm reclaiming the title "hot mess," because showing up as a bit of a mess does not mean I'm not caring for myself. And if you feel the same about yourself, this episode is for you! If you found this episode valuable, share it with other moms in your life.

Redefining Motherhood as a Relationship and Caregiving as a Job with Hannah Olson
Hannah Olson is redefining motherhood, and while her take may be hard to wrap your head around at first, it's actually quite simple. What she's saying is that motherhood is a relationship, and caregiving is a job - all those messages we get about laundry, vacuuming, even changing diapers and driving the kids to practice being "mom tasks," it's B.S. Yes, many moms are the primary caregiver to their children, and that is amazing! But motherhood is about the relationship we share with our children, and that is the big difference. In this episode, Hannah and I talk about: Separating the relationship of motherhood from the job of caregiving How equating motherhood to caregiving work leads to mom guilt Seeing motherhood as more than 18 years of caregiving The value of caregiving, monetary and otherwise Why moms deserve to have a conversation about working out of the home, even if it means paying more for childcare A little about our guest: Hannah Olson loves creating, coaching, and connecting. She spends her time attempting to master sourdough, forgetting to water $30 Ikea plants, mishearing song lyrics, and hanging out with her husband and six children. Hannah founded Redefining Motherhood in 2021 to help women reduce mom guilt and experience more joy, by coaching them to see the difference between the job of caregiving and the relationship of motherhood. She is also the host of a (sometimes) weekly podcast, Rantish, where she discusses topics she feels strongly about like Pretzel Jello Salad, Physical Therapy for pelvic floor, and current Instagram trends. She also loves to have guests on the show and hopes to foster a community of belonging and connection for lonely women everywhere.

Maternal Ambivalence: Why Your Complex Feelings Don't Make You a Bad Mom
Maternal ambivalence is an “experience shared variously by all mothers in which loving and hating feelings for their children exist side by side,” according to psychotherapist Rozsika Parker. These complex, often contradictory feelings mothers so often feel are completely normal - especially in the context we are all currently raising children in. And yet for so many mothers, there is guilt and shame surrounding not always feeling “positive” or acceptable emotions about our role or our children. So let’s talk about it. The goal of this week’s episode is to normalize normal emotions, and let you know that if you feel anger, grief, and frustration as a mother - all while loving your kids deeply - you are not alone.

The Perfect Mother Myth: Unpacking The Social Construct of Good Mothering
What does it mean to be a good mom? Society has created this image of what it means to be "good" in the role, and it can be summed up through The Perfect Mother Myth. So this week, I am unpacking the expectations we are held to under this social construct with the intention of bringing awareness to the absurdity of what is expected of mothers and why we have to check ourselves when it comes to the standards we are holding ourselves to. I'm sharing The Perfect Mother Myth as it has been discussed through my work with Motherhood Studies Sociologist Dr. Sophie Brock, and also presenting Professor Andrea O'Reilly's 8 Rules of Good Mothering to illustrate just how intense the unspoken rules for mothers are. This isn't just my experience - the myth of the perfect mother is based on real research of what is expected of moms. Can you relate?

What It Means To Prioritize Yourself (Don't The Kids Always Come First?!)
For so many moms, the idea of prioritizing themselves is completely guilt-inducing. It feels like a proposition to abandon their kids' needs, and in turn is completely unaligned with their values. But what if I told you that prioritizing your own needs - even making your own needs your number one priority - doesn't have to come at a cost to your kids? In this episode, I'm exploring what it actually means to prioritize our own well-being and care, and helping you see how you can do just that without the guilt. Because here's the thing: We all know that securing our kids' safety and wellbeing will underlie all that we do. But if we don't prioritize our own care, it just won't happen. Too many other things are vying for our time and attention. Tune in to learn how you can ensure your needs are getting met, and how everyone else will benefit, too!

Working Moms: Societal Pressures & Identity Shifts with Leanna Laskey McGrath
Working mothers are expected to work like they don't have kids, and parent like they don't have jobs.

Living Unapologetically and Breaking Out Of Society's Mold with Michele Johnston
It's a new year, which means it's the perfect time to examine whether you are living life on your own terms, or to someone else's (or society's) standards. And if you're like many other women, you'll likely find that in some areas of your life, you are doing things based on old narratives, unrealistic expecations, and someone else's definition of what it means to be "good enough." This week I am joined by the unapologetic Michele Johnston, who left behind a life of coforming to strict ideals to live life as her authentic self - and she is here to help you do the same! In the episode, Michele and I talk about: How narratives we grow up with can contribute to living out of alignment What it means to be unapologetically yourself The connection between self-care, self-love, and self-discovery Why we may outgrow people in the process of living unapologetically The impacts of living vulnerably and authentically on our children as they grow and become adults A little about our guest: Michele Johnston is the powerhouse behind Fiercely Authentic Coaching.

Michele dove into fitness and embarked on a journey of self-discovery, self-love, adventure, and grace. Now, as a life and empowerment coach, she empowers fierce women to rediscover their authentic selves, fall in love with their quirks, and live life unapologetically!

The Ups & Downs of Motherhood: It’s OK to Not Enjoy Every Moment
"Enjoy every moment!" We've all heard it before. And yet let's be real, not every moment of motherhood (or life for that matter) is enjoyable. And when we are led to believe that not enjoying it all means we are doing something wrong, the impact can be detrimental. So this week, I am counteracting the narrative that we should enjoy every moment, and instead letting you know it's OK (and totally normal) to experience complex human feelings. My goal, is to help you feel more self-compassionate through it all. If you found this episode valuable, share it with other moms in your life.

Confession: I Never Wanted to be a Stay-At-Home Mom (and Still Don't)
This week I am getting into labels - "working mom," "stay-at-home mom," everything in between - not because these labels are inherently bad, but because we can inadvertedly make them mean something about our identity and self-worth. In fact, that is exactly what happened to me when I left my teaching job to run my business from home. There are all these narratives out there about what it means to be a working mom or stay-at-home mom, and with that it can be complicated to navigate what you actually want in life and motherhood.
