    I Haven’t Adjusted My Expectations Since Becoming a Mom

    This episode almost didn’t happen. It’s 11 p.m., I’ve had a full day, and I’m sitting here recording this because I told myself I wanted to stay consistent… even when it’s not perfect. Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, not just busy, but like I can’t catch my breath. And I kept telling myself it’s just the season I’m in. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized…I don’t think I’ve adjusted my expectations of myself since becoming a mom. In this episode, I’m talking about: saying yes to everythingfeeling constantly behindthe pressure to be “the best” at everythingand what happens when you add more to your life… but don’t take anything awayIf you’ve ever felt like you’re barely keeping up or like it just never slows down, you’re not alone in this.

    The Pressure of Doing It All (Motherhood, Work & Real Wealth)

    In this solo episode of Still Me, Also Mom, Alex reflects on what it really feels like to be a woman navigating career, motherhood, relationships, health, and everything in between. After celebrating International Women’s Day, Alex found herself thinking about the pressure many women feel to “do it all”, to be successful in their careers, present with their families, supportive partners, good friends, and somehow still take care of themselves along the way. Inspired by a recent read of The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom, this episode explores the different ways we measure success in life, from financial stability to time with family, health, relationships, and mental wellbeing, and how motherhood often forces us to rethink what “wealth” really means. Alex shares honest reflections about returning to work after having Isabella, hiring a nanny when she was just a few months old, transitioning to daycare, and the invisible support systems that help mothers navigate modern life. This episode is a reminder that there is no perfect balance, and that maybe the goal isn’t doing everything perfectly, but recognizing what truly matters in each season of life.

    The Days Are Long, The Years Are Short

    In this episode of Still Me, Also Mom, I sit down with Jennifer Gale, realtor, mom of four daughters, and a woman who built her life with intention. Jennifer started her real estate career when her first daughter was just 3 months old, in a brand-new city, with no car, no phone, and no safety net. Shortly after her second daughter was born, she became a single mom. With the support of her parents, who relocated to help raise her girls, Jennifer went to work building a career that would eventually become far bigger than she imagined. But she did it differently. She worked weekends in model homes, but never holidays. She was home for dinner and bath time every night. She attended every field trip. She built success without sacrificing presence. Seven years ago, she remarried and blended a family of four daughters, navigating teenage years, identity, and the beautiful challenge of raising strong, independent young women. Now, she’s in a new season, parenting young adults, learning the “new rules of engagement,” and feeling the bittersweet truth that the days once felt long… but the years were short. In this episode, we talk about: Starting from absolutely nothing Single motherhood and the power of support systems Building a business with boundaries Blending families Raising strong daughters And the emotional transition into the empty-nest years This conversation is grounded, wise, and a reminder that you can build something meaningful, in business and at home, without losing yourself in the process. __ 🤍 Episode Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by SPRY.

Between bottle weaning, daycare transitions, and moving homes, Jessica is in the thick of it. But this conversation isn’t just about chaos, it’s about evolution. After nearly two decades in business, Jessica shares how her role has shifted from being an “order taker” to becoming a trusted guide for her clients. She opens up about what it really takes to grow in confidence, and why true confidence doesn’t come from hype or ego, but from competence built over time. We talk about: Letting go of certain priorities in business and life to make room for new ones The identity shift that comes with experience Rebuilding a business after relocating cities And why maturity in business often means doing less, but better This episode is about growth. About refinement. About becoming more aligned with who you actually are. If you’re in a season of recalibrating your priorities, or stepping into the next version of yourself, this conversation will resonate. __ 🤍 Episode Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by SPRY.
