    You Can Love Being a Mom… and Still Want More with Jessica Hammock

    What happens when the dream you carried for years finally comes true… and you still feel a pull for more? In this powerful conversation, Jessica “Vibrant” Hammock shares her journey through marriage trauma, infertility, and ultimately becoming a mother after a ten-year wait. But what surprised her most wasn’t motherhood itself — it was the identity recalibration that followed. For ambitious women who once believed motherhood would be the final destination, this episode explores what it means when purpose expands beyond what we originally imagined. We talk about: • navigating grief when dreams evolve • releasing shame around wanting more beyond motherhood • modeling ambition and boundaries for your children • redefining legacy and long-term impact • and building a life that honors both nurture and calling If you’re a driven mom who loves your children deeply but feels a quiet pull to create, lead, or build something meaningful alongside motherhood, this conversation will remind you that wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful — it makes you self-aware. You don’t have to choose between presence and purpose. You can design both — intentionally.

    The Great Millennial Career Crisis — And Why It Hits Ambitious Mothers Harder

    The “Great Millennial Career Crisis” is everywhere right now — burnout, financial stagnation, and the realization that the traditional work-hard-and-you’ll-be-secure promise hasn’t delivered. But for ambitious mothers, this crisis goes even deeper. In this episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia unpacks why millennial women didn’t just buy into career ambition — we bought into total life optimization. Thriving careers. Present motherhood. Fit bodies. Beautiful homes. Strong marriages. Financial independence. And somehow doing it all effortlessly. No wonder so many high-achieving moms feel exhausted. This isn’t laziness. It isn’t failure. It’s math. You’ll learn: Why burnout among millennial women is at an all-time high How “having it all” became “doing everything at once” Why quitting isn’t the only option A simple two-step recalibration framework to regain agency How to prioritize strategically instead of burning your life down If you’re a driven working mom who feels successful on paper but overwhelmed in reality, this episode will help you shift from panic to power — and start building ambition that aligns with your real life.

    When “Fine” Isn’t Failure — It’s a Sign You’re Ready for More

    Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Everything is fine… so why do I still feel restless?” In this episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia speaks directly to the working mom who isn’t burned out, isn’t miserable — but knows deep down she’s meant for more. We unpack why feeling “fine” isn’t a failure, but often a powerful signal that you’re outgrowing the life you built before motherhood. Alicia shares how motherhood shifted her priorities — and why it’s normal, human, and healthy for desires, dreams, and identity to evolve over time. This episode explores fear, identity shifts, and the quiet ache many moms feel when their life looks good on paper but no longer feels aligned. If you’re a working mom caught between gratitude and longing — wanting more joy, fulfillment, freedom, or creativity without blowing up your life — this conversation is a reminder that your desires matter, your dreams are valid, and it’s not too late to begin again.

    When Survival Mode Becomes Normal: How to Tell If Your Body Is Still Stuck

    Many moms assume survival mode ends once the newborn phase passes — but what if it quietly lingers for years? In this episode, Alicia shares a deeply personal realization: she had been living in survival mode since the birth of her son, without even knowing it. Reflecting on postpartum challenges, career pressure, leadership responsibilities, and unresolved burnout, Alicia walks listeners through how prolonged stress can become normalized — shaping decisions, health habits, and even how we answer questions like “Do I want more?” without realizing it’s fear speaking. The conversation explores nervous system regulation, inner child healing, and why feeling “stuck” isn’t always a motivation problem — it’s often a safety response. Alicia shares gentle, accessible practices that have helped her begin stepping out of fight-or-flight and into rest, trust, and regulation. If you’re a mom who feels tired, blocked, or disconnected despite “doing all the right things,” this episode offers language, clarity, and permission to get curious — and a reminder that healing doesn’t require force, only awareness and compassion.

    You Don’t Have to Burn It All Down: Reclaiming Yourself in Motherhood with Gina Low

    In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Alicia and Gina Lowe explore what happens after the awakening — when a mom realizes she’s lost herself and begins the work of reclaiming who she is without abandoning her family or burning her life down. Gina shares how reconnecting with herself transformed the way she showed up as a mother, partner, and leader in her home. Together, they unpack the internal work of breaking over functioning patterns, releasing guilt, and trusting children and partners to step into shared responsibility — not as a loss of control, but as an act of love. This episode challenges the deeply engrained belief that mothers must choose between being devoted moms and fulfilled women. Instead, Alicia and Gina explore how pursuing desires, setting boundaries, and redefining success actually create more joy, regulation, and connection within the family. If you’re a mom who loves your family and feels called to something more, this episode offers reassurance, permission, and a powerful reminder: you don’t have to leave motherhood to reclaim yourself — you get to do both.

    I Didn’t Know Who I Was Anymore: Reclaiming Identity in Motherhood with Gina Low

    In this episode, Alicia sits down with Gina Low, a mother of four, to explore the quiet moment many moms experience but rarely name — the realization that somewhere along the way, they’ve lost touch with themselves. Gina shares the story of who she was as a mom before her father entered hospice, and how that season — when everything stopped — cracked something open inside her. For the first time in years, she wasn’t needed, performing, or overfunctioning, and that space revealed just how disconnected she had become from her own identity, desires, and sense of self. Together, Alicia and Gina unpack why so many mothers — especially capable, responsible women — slowly disappear into caregiving, and why accessing dreams can feel impossible even when time and space finally appear. This conversation offers language, validation, and relief for any mom who feels consumed by motherhood and unsure how she got there. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation — an awakening and awareness episode for moms who feel lost, exhausted, or quietly wondering if there’s more.  EPISODE RESOURCES Connect with Gina: Facebook: www.facebook.com/wilfullyuInstagram: www.instagram.com/wilfullyuTikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@wilfullyuWebsite: http://www.wilfullyu.comSpecial Gift from Gina: http://www.freevbw.comhttp://www.freevisionboardworkshop.comConnect with Alicia: Book your Dream Strategy SessionInstagram: @a.s.granthamSchedule a free discovery call: Here
