    367. How To Stop Dreading Things & Start Making The Most Of Life

    Hi Mamas, Have you ever had something on your calendar that you were absolutely dreading? A work trip, a family obligation, a meeting, or an event you committed to but really don't want to attend? As busy working moms, we already have so much on our plates. And sometimes, the anticipation of something we don't want to do creates even more stress than the experience itself! In today’s episode, I'm sharing a personal story about a recent work trip to Chicago that I was NOT looking forward to. Between leaving my family, missing my daughter's volleyball playoffs, rearranging appointments, falling behind at work, and dealing with my anxiety around flying, I had plenty of reasons to dread this trip. But then my 13-year-old son turned my own parenting advice right back on me—and completely changed my perspective! It was a reminder that while we can't always control what we have to do, we can often control how we approach it. And sometimes, the experiences we dread the most turn out to be the ones that surprise us. In This Episode, We're Talking About: Why the anticipation of something stressful can be worse than the actual experience How to change your mindset when you have to do something you don't want to do Three simple mindset shifts to help you make the best of any situation How to help your kids approach unwanted obligations with a more positive attitude Why being present matters, even in moments we didn't necessarily choose How to stop wishing away your life and start finding joy in everyday experiences 3 Mindset Shifts to Try This Week Acknowledge your feelings without letting them determine your attitude. You don't have to pretend you're excited about something you're dreading. Your feelings are valid, but they don't have to dictate your entire experience. Find one thing to look forward to. Instead of focusing on everything that could go wrong, ask yourself what might actually be good about the experience. A new connection? A fun conversation? An unexpected opportunity? Be where your feet are. Once you're there, give yourself permission to be fully present. Stop counting down the minutes and give the experience a chance. And if it's not fun, bring the fun! The next time you catch yourself dreading something you have to do, ask yourself: "If I'm going to spend my time doing this anyway, how can I make the most of it?" Because mama, your time is precious, and you deserve to enjoy as much of your life as possible—even the parts you didn't necessarily plan. 👉 And I'd love to hear what you're working on this week.

    366. Working Mom Mindset: You Can't Always Change Your Circumstances, But You Can Change Your Mindset

    Hi Mamas, Have you ever spent DAYS dreading something that ended up being perfectly fine—or maybe even fun? A work meeting, a family obligation, a school event, or something on your already packed calendar that you just really don't want to do? As busy working moms, we have enough competing for our time and energy. But sometimes, we make things even harder by spending days worrying about something that hasn't even happened yet! In today’s episode, we're talking about how to change your mindset when you're dreading something, why our expectations can influence our experiences, and how to stop wishing away our lives while waiting for things to get easier. This week's quote, commonly attributed to Maya Angelou, is: "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." Because sometimes we have the ability to change our circumstances, set a boundary, or say no. But other times, we have to follow through on things we don't necessarily want to do. And that's where a little mindset shift can make a big difference! In This Episode, We're Talking About: Why we spend so much time dreading things before they even happen How negative expectations can add unnecessary stress to our already busy lives The difference between setting healthy boundaries and changing your attitude How to approach unavoidable obligations with a more positive mindset Why constantly waiting for Friday or the next vacation can keep us from enjoying the life we're living How to be more present and intentional, even when things don't go according to plan This Week's Monday Mindset Challenge The next time you catch yourself dreading something, I want you to ask yourself three questions: Is this something I actually have to do? If not, maybe it's an opportunity to set a boundary or make a different choice. If I do have to do it, what's ONE thing I can look forward to? Instead of focusing on all the reasons you don't want to do something, look for one thing that might be good about the experience. How can I show up with an open mind? When you get there, give yourself permission to be fully present instead of counting down the minutes until it's over. You might just surprise yourself! 👉 And I'd love to hear what you're working on this week. Come join us in my Facebook community, Work-Life Balance For Working Moms, and share the one thing you're choosing to approach with a different mindset. ⭐ If this episode gave you a little boost, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Grab Your Freebies! 🔥 Boundaries Made Simple… guilt-free scripts, mindset shifts, and a “guilt-detox” checklist 💖 Goal Manifesting Planner … map your dreams with bite-size prompts 🥗 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide… reclaim your evenings (and your sanity) 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… ditch the scroll and win back precious minutes 🧹 Spring Cleaning Checklist… because clutter steals time, too 🎅Christmas Planning Guide… yes, early prep counts as self-care 💻ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms.. simply cut and paste Want to connect with other amazing moms?

    365. How To Be Happier Every Day: 3 Simple Gratitude Habits That Actually Work

    Hi Mamas, What if you could feel happier, less stressed, and more fulfilled without changing your circumstances, spending money, or adding another thing to your already overflowing to-do list? As busy working moms, we're constantly looking ahead to the next thing. When work slows down, when the kids get older, when we lose the weight, when the house is finally organized... THEN we'll be happy. But what if happiness isn't something we have to keep chasing? What if we could experience more happiness right now simply by appreciating the little moments of joy already happening around us? In today's episode, we're talking about the power of practicing gratitude and how developing a gratitude mindset can help you find more happiness, appreciate everyday moments, and live a more intentional, fulfilling life. I'm sharing how gratitude has become part of my daily prayer and meditation routine, a beautiful moment with my daughter that reminded me what really matters, and the story of a woman I've never met who completely changed how I think about finding joy. We're also talking about why our brains tend to focus on negative experiences, how gratitude can help us shift our perspective, and why being thankful for your life doesn't mean you have to stop wanting more. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How practicing gratitude can help you feel happier: Why noticing the good in your everyday life can change your perspective. Why we focus on the negative: Understanding negativity bias and how it influences what we remember about our day. How to find joy in ordinary moments: Learning to appreciate the little blessings we often overlook. Three simple daily gratitude habits: Easy ways to practice gratitude in the morning, throughout the day, and before bed. How to practice gratitude during difficult seasons: Finding meaning, strength, and appreciation without pretending everything is perfect. Why gratitude and ambition can coexist: How to appreciate the life you have while continuing to pursue your dreams and create a life you love. 3 Simple Gratitude Habits to Start Today Start your morning with gratitude. Before reaching for your phone or thinking about your to-do list, spend a minute appreciating your blessings. Instead of simply listing what you're thankful for, picture the moments and people who bring you joy. Start counting your daily joys. Throughout the day, notice the little things that make you smile. A beautiful sunrise, an unexpected call from your child, a kind gesture, or even that first sip of coffee. Acknowledge those moments instead of rushing past them. End your day remembering what went right. Before bed, think about three specific things that made your day better. Instead of replaying everything that went wrong or everything you didn't accomplish, give yourself the opportunity to appreciate what went right. Your Working Mom Reminder You can be grateful for the life you have and still want more. You can appreciate your career and still want to pursue something more fulfilling. You can love being a mom and still want time for yourself. You can be thankful for your blessings while continuing to dream, grow, and work toward your goals. Gratitude isn't about settling. It's about learning to appreciate where you are while working toward where you want to be. And sometimes the most meaningful moments in life are the ones we almost miss.

    364. Working Mom Mindset: How To Be Happier By Practicing Gratitude

    Hi Mamas, What if the secret to feeling happier isn't about changing your life, but changing what you choose to notice? As busy working moms, we're constantly thinking about what's next. Between our careers, kids, marriages, and never-ending to-do lists, it's easy to get so caught up in managing our lives that we forget to actually enjoy them. In this week's Monday Mindset episode of Mom Wife Career Life, we're talking about how practicing gratitude can help you find more happiness, appreciate the little moments, and live a more intentional life, even when things feel overwhelming. Inspired by the quote from Mary Davis, "The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see," we're exploring a simple mindset shift that can change the way you experience your everyday life. Because gratitude isn't about pretending everything is perfect. It's not about ignoring your struggles or giving up on your dreams. It's about recognizing that you can be working toward a better future while still appreciating the beautiful things happening right now. In this episode, we'll talk about: Why busy working moms often overlook the little moments that bring us joy. How practicing gratitude can help shift your mindset from what's missing to what's already good. Why you can feel overwhelmed and grateful at the same time. How to appreciate your present life without giving up on your goals and dreams. One simple gratitude challenge to help you find more joy in everyday moments. Your Monday Mindset Challenge: This week, make a conscious effort to notice the little things that bring you happiness. A beautiful sunrise, an unexpected hug from your child, a kind gesture, or even a few quiet moments in the middle of a chaotic day. When you notice something beautiful, stop for just a second. Acknowledge it. Appreciate it. And then go about your day. No extra routines, no journaling, and nothing else to add to your already full plate! Because sometimes living a happier, more fulfilling life isn't about doing more. It's about being more present for the life you're already living. Let's keep the conversation going! I'd love to hear what beautiful little moments you notice this week! Join our Facebook community, Work Life Balance for Working Moms, and share something you're grateful for. And if you're an ambitious working mom looking for more work-life balance, better time management, a positive mindset, and a more intentional life, make sure you're following Mom Wife Career Life for weekly motivation, inspiration, and practical tips.

    363. How To Have Difficult Conversations When You Feel Anxious

    Hi Mamas, Have you ever had a difficult conversation you knew you needed to have, but kept putting it off because you were anxious about how it might go? Maybe it's talking to your boss about your workload, asking your husband for more help, addressing something with your teenager, or finally setting a boundary with someone in your life. And instead of having the conversation, you've already had it in your head about 50 times! You've rehearsed what you're going to say, imagined every possible reaction, and worked yourself up over something that hasn't even happened yet. Sound familiar, mama? I've been there! In this episode, I'm sharing practical tips to help you navigate difficult conversations, overcome communication anxiety, set healthy boundaries, and speak up with more confidence… both at work and at home. After years of struggling with difficult conversations myself, I've learned that confidence doesn't always come before the conversation. Sometimes it comes from realizing you can handle uncomfortable situations, even when things don't go exactly as planned. In this episode, we're talking about: How to calm your nerves before a difficult conversation. Why writing down your thoughts can help you communicate more clearly (and how I use ChatGPT to help!). The importance of knowing what you want to accomplish before speaking up. How to stop over-explaining and communicate with confidence. Why so many uncomfortable conversations are actually about setting healthy boundaries. How to manage your emotions when conversations don't go as expected. Why avoiding difficult conversations can lead to resentment and even bigger problems. I'm also sharing a personal experience from earlier in my corporate career that completely changed how I approach communication and leadership. 👉 And I want to hear how this week’s episode helped you!

    362. Working Mom Mindset: Stop Avoiding Difficult Conversations - Choose Courage Over Comfort

    Hi Mamas, Do you avoid difficult conversations because you're afraid of conflict, disappointing someone, or saying the wrong thing? Whether it's speaking up at work, asking your husband for more help, setting boundaries, or addressing something that's been bothering you, avoiding uncomfortable conversations can create more stress, resentment, and overwhelm. In today’s episode, we're talking about choosing courage over comfort and learning to stop letting fear hold you back. Inspired by Brené Brown's quote, “You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both,” we'll talk about why avoiding uncomfortable situations doesn't always protect your peace and how small acts of courage can build confidence, strengthen relationships, and help you create a healthier work-life balance. In this episode, you'll learn: Why we avoid difficult conversations, even when we know they're necessary How avoiding conflict can actually increase stress and resentment The difference between intentionally letting something go and avoiding it out of fear Why confidence often comes after taking action How choosing courage can help you set boundaries and speak up for yourself Your Monday Mindset Challenge: Think about one thing you've been avoiding because it makes you uncomfortable. What's one small step you can take this week to choose courage over comfort? Remember, mama, you don't have to feel confident to take action. Sometimes confidence comes from proving to yourself that you can do hard things. Make sure to check out episode 363!

    361. How To Forgive Without an Apology: Release Resentment & Find Peace

    Hi Mamas, What if the person who hurt you never says, “I'm sorry”? Can you still forgive them? And maybe an even bigger question: Should you? As we head into the holiday season, I'm bringing back an episode from the Mom Wife Career Life archives that I think is worth hearing again… or maybe hearing for the very first time. Because the holidays have a way of bringing everything to the surface. Old relationships. Family tension. Hurt feelings. Resentment. Grief. Memories. And sometimes, anger we've been carrying around much longer than we realize. So today, we're talking about forgiveness without an apology. And mama, forgiveness does NOT mean pretending that what someone did was okay. It doesn't mean forgetting what happened. It doesn't mean abandoning your boundaries. And it doesn't necessarily mean letting someone back into your life. Sometimes forgiveness simply means deciding that you don't want to carry the pain anymore. In this episode, we're talking about how to forgive someone who hurt you even when they aren't sorry, why forgiveness doesn't require reconciliation, and how to begin releasing anger and resentment when you never received the closure you deserved. I'm also sharing a deeply personal part of my own story about my relationship with my dad, the anger I carried after he passed away, and how forgiveness eventually helped me release that resentment and find peace. We'll also talk about forgiving someone who is no longer here, forgiving a friendship you had to walk away from, and one of the hardest people we sometimes have to forgive: Ourselves. Because forgiveness isn't always about setting someone else free. Sometimes it's about finally setting yourself free. And at the end of the episode, I'm giving you a simple “Bless and Release” exercise you can try to help you acknowledge what you're carrying and begin letting some of it go. As you listen, I want you to ask yourself: What am I still carrying that I'm ready to put down? Maybe you're not ready to forgive today. That's okay. But maybe you're ready to stop giving something that happened in your past so much space in your present. And if you're heading into the holidays already feeling the pressure of everything that needs to get done, don't forget to grab my FREE Christmas Planning Made Simple Guide Inside, you'll find tools to help you organize your Christmas budget, gift list, activities, calendar and holiday plans so you can spend less time trying to remember everything and more time actually being present for the season. Grab your free copy using the link in the show notes. And make sure you come back next week because we're continuing this conversation by talking about something that often goes hand-in-hand with forgiveness: How to have difficult conversations. Because sometimes asking for forgiveness—or offering forgiveness—means having a conversation you've been avoiding. We'll talk about how to say what needs to be said, communicate how you're feeling, and navigate difficult conversations with the people you care about. Until then, mama, remember: Forgiveness doesn't erase the story. It changes how you carry it forward. 👉 And I want to hear what you’re moving forward with this week!

    360. Working Mom Mindset: How To Let Go Of Anger & Make Room For Peace

    Hi Mamas, Anger takes up too much space in a heart that deserves peace.” This week, we’re talking about forgiveness… and before we can talk about forgiveness, we have to talk about one of the biggest things that can get in the way of it: anger. Because here's the thing, mama: sometimes you have every right to be angry. Someone hurt you. Someone disappointed you. A boundary was crossed. Maybe you never received the apology you deserved. And letting go of your anger does NOT mean that what happened was okay. But there’s a difference between feeling anger and carrying anger. When we carry anger with us, we replay the conversation. We think about what they said, what we should have said, and what we wish we could go back and change. And all that takes up mental and emotional space… space that could be filled with peace, joy, gratitude, connection and presence. In this short Monday Mindset episode, we’re talking about how to recognize the anger you’re still carrying and ask an important question: Do I have a right to be angry? Maybe I absolutely do. But do I want to keep carrying it? Because holding onto anger doesn't change what happened. It doesn't change what someone said or did, and it can't force someone to give you the apology you deserve. But it can affect how much of your life you're able to enjoy right now. YOUR MONDAY MINDSET CHALLENGE: This week, think about one thing you're still angry about. Don't judge yourself for it. Don't try to force yourself to forgive before you're ready. Instead, when that anger comes up, pause and ask yourself: How much space am I willing to keep giving this? Then ask: What is it costing me to carry it? Your peace? Your energy? Your presence? Your happiness? Another relationship? Sometimes the first step toward forgiveness isn't saying, “I forgive you.” Sometimes it's simply realizing: “I don't want to carry this anymore.” And make sure you come back tomorrow because we're continuing this conversation with an important episode from the Mom Wife Career Life archives: Forgiveness Without an Apology: Releasing the Weight We Were Never Meant to Carry. We'll talk about how to begin forgiving someone even when you never received an apology, how forgiveness and boundaries can coexist, and why forgiveness isn't necessarily about setting the other person free… it's about setting yourself free. 👉 And I want to hear what you’re moving forward with this week!

Do you dream of feeling calm, organized, and intentional… instead of stressed, scattered, and stretched too thin? Welcome to Mom Wife Career Life... the podcast that helps busy working moms and corporate mom (my sweet spot!) simplify their schedules, master time management, and create the work-life balance you’ve been craving. Here, you’ll learn how to: Master time management so you can get more done in less time (and with less stress). Create healthy habits that stick... at work and at home.

Live with intention, focusing on what matters most: your family, your dreams, and yourself. Reclaim personal time without guilt, so you can show up as your best self. Hi, I’m Kerri... a wife, mom of 3, time management coach, a leader in the coporate world, and recovering perfectionist. For years, I said “yes” to everything… except myself. I know what it’s like to be buried under the weight of all the hats we wear as working moms. I also know how it feels to realize you’re missing the moments that matter most. Through years of research, trial and error, and intentional living, I’ve developed simple systems and mindset shifts that help ambitious moms, corporate moms, mom entrepreneurs, and busy women everywhere find calm in the chaos. And now, I’m sharing them with YOU. If you’re ready to: Feel in control of your calendar instead of controlled by it Start your mornings with calm instead of chaos Create a work-life balance that actually works for your real life And make time for your passions without neglecting your priorities ... then you're in the right place!
