    Why Wanting More Doesn't Make You a Bad Mom (It Actually Makes You Better)

    Send us a text Have you ever felt crushing guilt for wanting something beyond your role as wife and mom? In this transformative episode, Misty Celli shares her personal story of sitting outside a real estate office with a 15-year dream in her hands and the wave of shame that nearly stopped her from pursuing it. If you've ever convinced yourself that wanting personal dreams somehow betrays your family, this episode will completely shift your perspective. Misty reveals why the belief that "wanting more means you're ungrateful" isn't just limiting you, it's actually robbing your family of the gift of your full potential. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why wanting more is evidence of your design, not proof of ingratitudeThe hidden cost of suppressing your dreams (and what it teaches your children)How to shift from "either/or" thinking to "both/and" livingThe oxygen mask principle: why pursuing your dreams makes you a better wife and motherPractical steps to reclaim your "more" without guiltHow to reframe desire as sacred rather than selfishThe legacy you're building when you honor your full designQuotes to Remember: "Wanting more doesn't mean your family isn't enough. It means you're recognizing that God created you to be more than just a supporting character in everyone else's story." "Your family doesn't need you to be smaller. They need you to be whole and alive." "You cannot pour from an empty cup. Depleted women make depleted wives and mothers." "The guilt you feel about wanting more isn't your intuition telling you you're wrong. That's programming telling you to stay small." "Your desire for more isn't evidence that being a wife and mom isn't fulfilling. It's evidence that you were designed for expansion." Action Steps: Audit your postponed dreams—write down what you've been putting on holdSchedule weekly "dream time" that's just for you (start with even 5 minutes)Stop apologizing when you talk about your dreamsReframe "wanting more" as "honoring my design"Do ONE thing this week that honors your desire for moreSubscribe & Review: If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review.

    Invisible Mom: How Your Value Becomes Your Legacy

    Send us a text Your Self-Worth Becomes Your Legacy You're teaching your children that a woman's worth comes from her productivity. That being needed equals being valuable. That rest is selfish. That saying no is failure. And you don't even realize you're doing it. Every family gathering where you exhaust yourself. Every moment you make yourself smaller. Every time you apologize for taking up space. Your children are watching—and learning the WRONG lesson about what women deserve. The value you claim (or deny) for yourself today becomes the legacy your children carry for generations. This episode reveals the hidden belief system keeping you stuck, the devastating cost of continuing it, and the ONE decision you can make today to change your legacy forever. Not for the faint of heart. Only for moms ready to stop performing and start living. We challenge the belief that a woman’s value is earned through productivity and being needed, and show how that belief becomes a legacy children absorb. A personal turning point leads to five truths about inherent worth and a practical path to choose a new legacy with one decision today. • hidden worth equation that ties value to doing • how children learn self-worth by watching us • signs of conditional worth: over-apology, compulsive yes, guilt for rest • the move-and-crisis story that exposed emptiness • five truths: inherent worth, constancy, acceptance, self-assigned value, modeling • practical shifts: boundaries, rest, kinder self-talk, needs included • one worth-based decision to start change today Please subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss an episode Please share this episode with another woman who needs to hear this message 📲Empower a friend who needs to hear this, letting her know she’s not alone in her struggles - Share this episode today. 🔗 Get daily encouragement and behind-the-scenes heart-to-hearts: @yourutmostself 🎧 Never missed a conversation that powerfully reminds you of who you truly are - Subscribe to the podcast now. ✨ Continue your journey of self-discovery and empowerment with free resources, articles, and more - Visit Your Utmost Self to explore.

    "I Don't Know Who I Am Anymore": Why Your Confusion Isn't Failure

    Send us a text If you've ever caught yourself staring in the mirror, wondering when you started looking so exhausted, or scrolling through old photos of the woman you used to be—the one with dreams and direction—this episode is for you. You've been told that good mothers sacrifice everything. So you did. And now you feel lost, confused, and as though you've somehow failed because you no longer know who you are. But what if your confusion isn't evidence of failure? What if it's evidence of readiness? In this episode, I'm challenging one of the most damaging beliefs keeping women stuck: that feeling lost about your identity means something is wrong with you. I'll share why you're not actually lost—you're buried. And there's a massive difference. You'll discover: Why the "lost" feeling is actually a feature, not a bug in your systemThe radical reframe that changes everything (you're not lost, you're buried)4 specific shifts to move from buried to breakthroughWhat research says about women and identity in midlife (hint: you're not alone)How your confusion is actually directing you back to YOUPlus, I'm sharing my own story of the night I cried myself to sleep grieving a woman I thought I'd lost—and what I discovered she'd been doing all along. The woman you're looking for isn't gone. She's been patient, waiting for you to remember she was never supposed to fit into the small boxes others created for her. Your confusion isn't a problem to solve. It's an invitation to discover. THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: ✓ You can't remember the last time someone asked "What do YOU want?" and you had an answer ✓ You've googled "Why do I feel empty when I should be grateful?" ✓ You love your family but feel like you've disappeared ✓ You watch other women who seem to have it together and wonder what's wrong with you ✓ You've believed that feeling confused means you've failed somehow MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Research on midlife transitions (10-20% clinical crisis vs. universal discontent)Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Women's Mental Health studyThe 4-step process for moving from buried to breakthroughFINAL THOUGHT: You are not lost. You are not broken. You are becoming fully you. And the world needs the woman you're becoming more than it needs the woman you think you should be. 📲Empower a friend who needs to hear this, letting her know she’s not alone in her struggles - Share this episode today. 🔗 Get daily encouragement and behind-the-scenes heart-to-hearts: @yourutmostself 🎧 Never missed a conversation that powerfully reminds you of who you truly are - Subscribe to the podcast now. ✨ Continue your journey of self-discovery and empowerment with free resources, articles, and more - Visit Your Utmost Self to explore.

    From Always Available to Strategically Present: Reclaiming Your Life as a Mother

    Send us a text Have you become your family's 911 service? That Friday night, lying in bed with my phone on full volume, I realized something had to change. Somewhere between dance practices and school emergencies, I'd programmed myself to believe that being a good mom meant being available 24/7 – like a customer service department for my family. This episode tackles the exhausting myth that constant availability equals good mothering. When we're always on call, we're not just depleting ourselves – we're teaching our families that boundaries don't matter, that interrupting is normal, and that relationships mean constant access. Healthy love respects when someone is unavailable because it understands that people need space to be whole human beings. The transformation begins by recognizing when you're trapped in always-available patterns. Do you sleep with your phone at full volume? Cancel personal appointments for family "emergencies"? Feel guilty when unreachable? These aren't signs of good mothering but boundary-less living. Through the Your Utmost Life method – Discover, Design, and Do – you'll learn to replace the lie that good moms are always available with the truth that good moms model self-respect. Strategic unavailability isn't about becoming unreachable; it's about becoming intentionally available. As you establish communication hours, define true emergencies, and change your internal dialogue, something surprising happens: your family doesn't love you less – they respect you more. They learn independence, value your time, and understand you're a whole person, not just their personal assistant. Ready to break free from the 24/7 mom trap?

    Major Mom Mistake #6: Personal Growth vs Love of Family

    Send us a text You've bought the planner. Read the books. Done the gratitude practice. And you're still... here. Still stuck. Still feeling broken. What if I told you that you're not broken—you're just buried? And that voice telling you to "push through this season" is the same one that almost destroyed my life. In this episode, we're dismantling three dangerous lies that keep you trapped: That personal growth is about fixing what's wrong with youThat you just need to survive this season until things get easierThat your growth will disrupt your familyHere's the truth: Your family isn't disrupted by your growth. They're disrupted by your stagnation. Your resentment from staying small. Your depletion from constant giving. Your invisibility teaches your children that women don't matter. I'll share the research that changed everything for me, the rock bottom moment that forced me to choose between pushing through or emerging through, and what actually happened when I stopped shrinking and started growing. Because it's never too late to step into your worth and create a life that intentionally honors that worth. Not despite your family. Because of them. For them. With them. In This Episode: Why shame-based change never creates lasting transformationThe difference between pushing through seasons vs. emerging from themResearch on how your well-being directly impacts your family relationshipsWhat your children are actually learning when you martyr yourselfThe foundation you need before any growth strategy will workReady to stop just surviving?

    Major Mom Mistake #5: Unfulfilled Autopilot Living

    Send us a text The script that runs your day—“I’m fine”—might be the very thing keeping you stuck. We open with the familiar chaos, the apologies, the late-night scrolling, and then challenge the hidden beliefs that fuel it: that caring for yourself is selfish and that it’s too late to change. What follows is both honest and practical: research on parental burnout and child outcomes, a candid look at how overgiving teaches the wrong lessons at home, and clear ways to make self-care a strategic act that strengthens your family rather than stealing from it. We go deeper on the “too late” myth with data, stories, and real-world examples—from career changes in the late 30s and 40s to creators and founders who didn’t bloom until 50, 60, or beyond. Misty shares why midlife is an edge, not a penalty: you know your values, you’ve built resilience, and your skills transfer. We talk about the surprising advantages mature workers bring, the energy that new learning brings to your relationships, and how modeling growth can transform your home from a place of management to a culture of mentorship. If you’ve been living by default, this is your nudge toward intentional design. You’ll walk away with boundary scripts, small shifts that create momentum, and a fresh way to see your time and energy as resources to steward. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a review to help others find the show. Ready to reclaim your identity beyond roles and start building the life you actually want?
