    97 - Where Do I Even Start? Fitting Exercise Into Real Life as a Working Mom

    You know it's important to exercise, and actually, you want to because you feel so much better when you do. But as a busy working mom, the question is where does it fit??   In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I coach women to start (or restart) a movement routine in a season where time feels tight, kids need you, and work is full.   I talk about: Why auditing your time is the first step   How to let go of all-or-nothing thinking   What it really means to "expand your definition" of exercise   How to use 1–5% improvements to build momentum   Why you should experiment at least three times before deciding something "doesn't work"   From 10-minute living room workouts to lifting heavy weights years later, I'm sharing what this has looked like in my own life — and how you can plant the seeds now for the routine you want long-term.   If movement is one of your goals this year, this episode will help you start — without waiting for more time, more energy, or a different season.   ==========================   🔗 Links & Resources:   ==========================   Follow Simi Botic on Instagram   Apply for 1:1 coaching   ==========================   📲 Stay Connected!   ==========================   💌 Join my email list for weekly coaching tips & other resources ➡️ Subscribe to The Working Mom Journal newsletter 📸 Follow me on Instagram for working mom inspo ➡️https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/ 🤝 Connect with me on LinkedIn ➡️https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   New episodes drop every Tuesday! Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode.   And if this episode made you rethink about how you balance work and life as a working mom, send it to a friend!

    94 - "Is This Just How It Is?" Rebecca's Shift from Overwhelm to Ownership

    In this episode, I'm joined by a Beyond Balance client who's a toddler mom and co-owns an architecture firm with her husband. She shares what it's really like to juggle parenting, partnership, and running a business—and the moment she realized that constant stress and exhaustion didn't have to be her default.   We talk about the myth of "being organized" and how her endless to-do lists were actually fueling her overwhelm. She shares how she learned to prioritize with intention, navigate sick days without spiraling, and reframe her work hours as a choice, not a burden.   She also opens up about her hesitation to join a group program and how, instead of getting lost in the crowd, she found herself getting double the coaching—learning from others' questions and applying those insights to her own life.   If you've ever wondered, "Is this just how it is?" this conversation will show you that it doesn't have to be.   ==========================   🔗 Links & Resources:   ==========================    Learn more about Beyond Balance and apply before 2/10/26   ==========================   📲 Stay Connected!   ==========================   💌 Join my email list for weekly coaching tips & other resources ➡️ Subscribe to Working Mom Wednesday newsletter 📸 Follow me on Instagram for working mom inspo ➡️https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/ 🤝 Connect with me on LinkedIn ➡️https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   New episodes drop every Tuesday! Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode.   And if this episode made you rethink about how you balance work and life as a working mom, send it to a friend!

    93 - You Might Have More Time Than You Think: Daria's Realization

    In this episode, I'm joined by Daria, a neonatologist, researcher, and mom of three, who shares what it's really like to juggle two demanding roles at work while raising a young family. We talk about the mental load of switching between high-intensity clinical care and long-term research projects, and how she used the Beyond Balance framework to find motivation, create better boundaries, and feel more present with her kids.   Daria opens up about the emotional toll of her work, the surprising flexibility of her research role, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop feeling like she was constantly behind. We also talk about the moment she realized she didn't need more time with her kids—she just needed to see the time she already had differently. From folding laundry on the bathroom floor to doing yoga with her toddler, Daria found ways to create connection in the middle of everyday life.   If you'd like to experience similar changes in your life, Beyond Balance is open for enrollment right now.
