    181/Eliminating Mom Guilt When You Need a Break

    Do you feel mom guilt when you need a break — whether it’s sending your child to daycare, leaning on grandparents, or simply taking time for yourself? In this episode of Your Next Best Move, we’re talking about mom guilt, and the pressure to feel like you have to be everything to your child. I’m sharing the belief that has helped me release guilt around daycare and support from family and why I truly believe the more positive adults in your child’s life, the better. Your child benefits from secure attachment to you and healthy relationships with other safe, loving people. You are not meant to teach them everything or meet every need alone. If you’re navigating motherhood, burnout, or the constant tension between loving your child and needing space, this episode will help you shift your mindset and take the break you need, without guilt. Borrow this belief if you need it:The more positive people in your child’s life, the better. Sending you so much love, mama! -Deanna ⁠Join my email list for monthly insights & inspiration⁠⁠⁠!

    180/Zooming Out: Gratitude, Growth & the Long View of Life

    Turning 34 felt like an invitation to pause and zoom out — not just to think about the year ahead, but about the entire lifetime ahead. In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I’m sharing a reflection on lifetime thinking : the practice of releasing the pressure to have everything figured out right now and choosing to play the long game instead. I walk you through: Three things I’m deeply grateful for in this lifetime Four things I’m excited about in the lifetime ahead How the “100-year-old test” can help you make grounded, intentional decisions today This episode is an invitation to slow down, expand your perspective, and reconnect with the magic of a long, unfolding life, especially in the midst of motherhood, ambition, and becoming. If you’ve been feeling pressure to “figure it all out,” I hope this reminds you that you don’t have to. You’re allowed to grow, evolve, and dream - one next best move at a time! xo Deanna Let's connect!

    179/Simple Decision-Making Tool to Guide Your Year

    **Mothertelling tickets are on sale now! ⁠Buy tickets to the Mothertelling Event on May 2! Choosing a Word of the Year has been one of the simplest and most impactful personal growth practices in my life. In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I’m sharing why I choose a Word of the Year and how one intentional word can guide your decisions, mindset, and growth over the course of a year. Instead of setting rigid resolutions, this practice offers a flexible, values-based way to move through life with more clarity and purpose. I talk about how past words like open and belief have shaped the choices I made, the risks I took, and the way I showed up in my life and work. I also walk you through practical steps to help you choose your own Word of the Year, rooted in your values, your season of life, and what you truly need more of right now. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and choose a word that feels supportive rather than pressuring. Whether you’re craving growth, alignment, confidence, or more ease, your Word of the Year can become a quiet anchor you return to when decision-making feels overwhelming.

    178/One Year Later: Reflections on Burnout, Loss, and Coming Back to Myself

    It’s been about a year since I experienced burnout and walked through the loss of a miscarriage. This episode is a quiet reflection on what burnout recovery and healing have actually looked like over the past year. In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I’m sharing honestly about my journey through burnout recovery and loss: the small daily habits I’ve changed, the support system I’ve intentionally built (including working with a therapist, coach, and naturopath), and the mindset shifts that have helped me move from survival into steadier ground. This isn’t a “how I fixed everything” conversation. It’s a real, compassionate look at what healing has required in this season of my life. If you’re navigating burnout, recovering from miscarriage or loss, or finding your way back to yourself after a hard season of motherhood or life, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and remember that healing doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful.

    177/Getting in the Room: Why Live Events and Real Connection Shape Your Next Best Move

    In a world that’s increasingly digital, I keep coming back to this idea: there is still something incredibly powerful about getting in the room. In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I’m sharing why showing up to events, conversations, and in-person gatherings has been one of the biggest catalysts for my personal growth, especially in motherhood. Some of the most meaningful shifts in my life didn’t come from reading another book or listening to another podcast. They came from choosing to be physically present with people, stories, and ideas that stretched me. When we place ourselves in rooms with new perspectives and real conversations, we start to see what’s possible for us beyond our everyday routines. This episode is also inspired by the upcoming Mothertelling Main Stage Experience, happening May 2nd in Wilmot, Ontario, where mothers gather to share stories, build meaningful connections, and celebrate the launch of the Mothertelling book. If you’ve been craving inspiration, community, or a reminder of who you are becoming, this episode is an invitation to stop circling the room—and step inside.

    176/Building Habits That Actually Work in Motherhood

    In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I’m sharing an honest look at habit-building in motherhood, especially during pregnancy and seasons where energy, time, and consistency feel limited. After becoming a mom, I had to let go of high-performance routines and learn how to create habits that actually fit real life. We’ll talk about why progress doesn’t require perfection, how small, manageable habits can support your physical and mental well-being, and why flexibility is key in this season. I’m sharing the simple habits I’m focusing on right now, how I use a habit tracker to stay intentional (without pressure), and two powerful questions that can make habit-building feel easier and even a little more fun. If you’re a working mom who wants to feel healthier, more grounded, and supported without adding more to your plate this episode is for you. ⁠Join my email list for monthly insights & inspiration⁠!

    175/Before We Turn the Page: A 2025 Reflection

    As 2025 comes to a close, I’m taking a moment to pause and reflect — not on what I did, but how I moved this year. In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I share the lessons I learned about slowing down, trusting myself, and holding space for both grief and growth. After experiencing loss and navigating a busy season of life, I realized that slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind, that grief and gratitude can coexist, and that listening to my intuition makes decisions simpler and more aligned. I also talk about the pivots I made to honor my body, my family, and myself — and how choosing steadiness over urgency changed everything.

    174/Vision Casting for Working Moms: How to Find Clarity in the Messy Middle

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing five simple principles to help you cast a clear vision for your life—even when you’re deep in the messy middle of motherhood, work, and everything in between. We’ll talk about how your future goals should guide your present decisions, how to shift your thoughts toward what you truly want, and the power of catching every “can’t” before it stops your momentum. You’ll also learn the key question every busy, overwhelmed mom should ask when she feels stuck: What CAN I do right now? I’ll walk you through taking small, doable actions, creating white space (yes, it’s possible), and visualizing what “done” actually looks like—so you can move forward with confidence, clarity, and a little more calm. If you’re a working mom navigating the chaos and craving direction, this episode will help you reconnect with your vision and take your next best step.
