***TOP 5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST*** Are you craving more time for yourself and your family but ending each day so mentally exhausted you feel like you have nothing left to give? Do you feel like you don’t have the energy to keep up with it all—work, laundry, kids’ activities, appointments? Let’s not forget about the daily dreaded question, what’s for dinner?  On the outside it looks like you have it altogether but on the inside, you’re craving more fulfillment. What if you could finally slow down and pour back into yourself? Hieeyy, I’m Josie. A wife, a mom of three, and a soul seeker at heart. Several years ago, I found myself burnt out, unfulfilled, and mentally exhausted every… single… day. I was climbing the corporate ladder, chasing more money—while giving nothing back to myself. By the time I got home, my time and energy were depleted… and anxiety had taken over. You know that feeling—snapping at your kids without meaning to? My days weren’t filled with fulfillment… just never-ending to-do lists. I wasn’t living my day—I was surviving it. I realized I had to stop blaming my job for my burnout. If I wanted more time, more freedom, more purpose—I had to look inward. Because what was really draining me… was my own patterns—perfectionism, people-pleasing, and not setting boundaries. If you’re a high-achieving mom who looks like she has it all together—but inside you’re saying, “there’s never enough time, energy, or support”… And you’re ready to stop running on empty and start living with more intention… You’re in the right place. This podcast is your permission to slow down, to look inward, and to explore yourself in a deeper, more honest way. To step outside the pressure, the expectations, and the constant doing—and reconnect with who you truly are. Through simple mindset shifts and soulful conversations, you’ll begin to release the patterns that keep you overworked and overwhelmed. You’ll quiet the mental noise, soften the pressure, and create space to come back home to yourself… your divine self. Imagine… More peace.. More purpose. More space to breathe. If you’re ready to create more time in your day—and actually feel fulfilled living it—there’s a reason you’re here Super Mama!

    15 | Sick of Hustling to Get Ahead? How Ignoring the Warning Signs Led to Burnout and Boundaries With Tina Kapp-Kailea

    Why do high-achieving women refuse to slow down and take care of themselves — even when their body is begging them to? What happens when you suppress grief instead of process it, and how does that suppressed emotion quietly invade your mental and physical health? In this episode, I sit down with Tina Kapp-Kailea — TEDx speaker, multiple best-selling author, award-winning embodiment coach, and founder of Book Mystic — for a conversation that goes straight to the heart of what so many ambitious moms are carrying: burnout, suppressed emotional regulation, and a nervous system that has forgotten what safety feels like. Tina shares her own journey through the corporate world, where she had the title, the corner office, and the international travel, but on the inside she was running on empty. Without boundaries in place, she found herself on what she calls the "burnout spiral," eventually facing anxiety, and suppressed grief after experiencing multiple miscarriages. What I love about this conversation is how honest Tina is about the connection between stress and the body — she opens up about how a dysregulated nervous system and years of not feeling "good enough" showed up physically, not just emotionally. We talk about the "corporate corset" so many of us wear — contorting ourselves into a version we think is acceptable — and why practicing mindfulness, learning to say no, and getting curious about what your body is trying to tell you are the real first steps toward healing. Tina also opens up about her work as a "book doula," helping women excavate their deepest stories and turn them into books that create real connection, and why writing (even just for yourself) can be one of the most powerful tools for emotional regulation and reclaiming your voice. This episode is for the present mom and high-achieving woman who feels like she's doing it all, but still feels empty inside. If you've ever felt like you're not enough, like rest has to be earned, or like your story is something to hide rather than share — this conversation is your permission slip to come home to yourself. About Tina Kapp-Kailea Tina Kapp-Kailea is a TEDx speaker, multiple best-selling author, award-winning embodiment coach, and founder of Book Mystic. Known as a "book doula," she helps aspiring authors transform their stories, wisdom, and lived experience into impactful books through a complete self-publishing journey — coaching, editing, proofreading, formatting, publishing, and launch support. Tina is passionate about authentic leadership and personal transformation, and she believes our greatest challenges often become the foundation of our greatest purpose. She refers to herself as a "wild executive," blending her corporate background with a trauma-informed, embodied approach to coaching and storytelling.

    14 | Ready for Peace? How Nervous System & Identity Rewiring Gets You There, Fast with Penny Chiasson

    Have you ever wondered why you get triggered "out of the blue," even when everything in your life looks like it's going right? Do you find yourself over-functioning — going, going, going — instead of pausing to feel what's actually going on underneath? Have you ever confused "staying grateful" with actually avoiding your pain? Highlights of the Episode: In this episode, I sit down with Penny Chiasson — a former nurse anesthetist turned board-certified hypnotist, #1 international bestselling author of Breaking the Fibro Code, and creator of the Identity Matrix Method — to talk about what happens when high-achieving women push their pain down for "just one more day." Penny opens up about the season of her life when she was caring for both of her parents, all while working a demanding job, and how "gratitude bypassing" nearly cost her everything before hypnosis helped her regulate her nervous system and reclaim her peace. This conversation is for the ambitious mama who feels like she's holding it together on the outside while something quietly builds underneath. We dig into how the subconscious mind forms our patterns before age seven, why emotional regulation starts with recognizing what your body is actually telling you, and how mindfulness — of the thoughts you consume, the stories you repeat, and the identity you're building — changes everything. Penny also walks us through what boundaries really are (hint: it's not an ultimatum, it's a decision about what you're available for) and how self-compassion is often the missing piece before a boundary can ever hold. If you've ever felt like you're "too much" for setting a boundary, or like your ambition is a mask for something you haven't addressed yet, this episode is your permission slip to get curious about what's really going on beneath the surface — so you can become a more present mom, a more grounded leader, and a woman who trusts herself again.

What pattern from my past might be showing up right now? Think of a relationship where you've wanted to set a boundary.

    13 | The Real Reason Ambitious Moms Can't Let Go of Control (And How To Break Free From It)

    If you've ever ended the day exhausted despite checking off every single box, this episode is for you. I'm unpacking why so many of us ambitious moms carry the weight of everyone else's world — and why true freedom starts with mindfulness, nervous system regulation, healthy boundaries, and emotional regulation as a present mom. Who am I when life doesn't go according to my plan? Have I connected my worth to how much I accomplish or how much I carry for everyone else? I get real in this episode about something I think every ambitious mom quietly craves, whether she realizes it or not: freedom. Not a productivity hack. Not a time-management trick. Real freedom — from carrying everyone else's load, from believing you have to hold it all together, from measuring your worth by how much you get done in a day. I share personal stories, including the moment I watched my three-year-old nephew make his own PB&J and realized how much I wanted my own kids to trust themselves the same way — even if that meant a forgotten suitcase or two. I dig into why we take on so much mental load in the first place, and how my own burnout forced me to stop managing life from the outside and start paying attention to what was happening on the inside — my thoughts, my emotions, and my nervous system. This episode is for the mom who feels like she's the one holding the entire household together and is starting to wonder what it would take to set some of that down. Inside, I talk about the connection between control and identity, why boundaries aren't really about time management, and how practicing mindfulness and tuning into your body's signals can help you become a calmer, more grounded, more present mom — without needing everything to go according to plan. My hope is that by the end, you walk away with a felt sense of permission to loosen your grip and receive more peace, more support, and more of what you've been striving so hard to create.

    12 | Anxiety Isn't the Problem, Your Nervous System Is - Mom Boss Freedom with Paige Figueroa

    How do burnout and anxiety show up for high-achieving women, and how do you know when it's time to face them? What's the hidden block that keeps so many ambitious moms from ever starting — or from taking their business to the next level? Highlights of This Episode I am so excited for you to meet Paige Figueroa, owner of Mom Boss Freedom — a coach, podcaster, and serial entrepreneur whose story mirrors so much of my own journey. Paige spent eight years as a teacher before becoming a mom to twins, one of whom faced a life-threatening condition before birth. That season — pregnant, working full-time, driving to doctor's appointments multiple times a week, and eventually spending three months in the NICU — became what Paige calls her "dark night of the soul." It's also where her real work began. In this conversation, Paige and I dig into how she found small pockets of time (sometimes just 30 minutes a day) to build a freelance copywriting business while raising six-month-old twins, and how that eventually gave her the confidence to leave teaching for good. But we don't stop at the highlight reel. We go deep into the burnout and anxiety underneath it — the toxic productivity so many of us as ambitious women were taught was normal — and how mindfulness, nervous system support, and real boundaries were what actually changed things for her. Paige now helps ambitious women, especially present moms, build aligned businesses and expansive lives through identity-based transformation and nervous system-aware coaching. If you've ever felt qualified but unworthy, ambitious but exhausted, or like you're managing everything on the outside while falling apart on the inside — this episode is for you. We talk candidly about mom guilt, the fear of being judged for stepping into a new identity, and the practical tools — from thought work to EFT tapping to honoring your capacity — that help you build a business (and a life) that actually feels safe in your body. This episode is for the mom who is quietly holding it together while wondering if she's allowed to want more — and who is ready to learn what real emotional regulation and boundary-setting can do for her business, her family, and her peace of mind.

What is one boundary I could set this week to honor my capacity, so my nervous system can finally feel safe enough to slow down?

    11 | Perfect Life but Feel Broken? 5 Steps to Transformation With Dr. Karen Kramer

    Who am I as a mom, a leader, a wife?  If you're the ambitious mom who's checked every box — the career, the household, the "having it all" — and you still feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, this episode is your permission slip to slow down and ask why. I'm sitting down with Dr. Karen Kramer, known globally as Dr. Karen, a grief alchemist, hypnotherapist, speaker, and bestselling author of Healthy Grief. With a PhD in Human and Organizational Development, decades of international coaching experience, and a toolbox that blends neuroscience with ancient healing modalities, Dr. Karen has worked with everyone from CIA and Google leaders to therapists, doctors, and everyday moms navigating burnout and transformation. She's the founder of Villa Vision Wellness and Retreat Center in Southern California, and she brings a rare combination of hard science and soulful presence to every conversation. In this episode, we get honest about what grief actually looks like when it's not about death — it's the quiet mourning of who you used to be, the version of you that existed before kids, before the corporate ladder, before you started saying yes to everyone but yourself. Dr. Karen unpacks how unprocessed grief and old subconscious beliefs can settle into the body, why so many high-achieving women are running on a "moving away from" instead of a "moving toward," and how tools like hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and subconscious reprogramming can help you release what's no longer serving you. We also dig into nervous system regulation in everyday language — the different states of "hypnosis" we move through all day (think: driving trance, movie hypnosis, that half-asleep scroll) — and why learning to notice those states is actually a doorway into calming an overwhelmed body. Dr. Karen shares her 5-stage Healthy Grief framework (Head, Heart, Steps, Hands, Eyes) for emotional regulation in the middle of overwhelm, and we talk candidly about boundaries — with our time, our energy, and the beliefs we didn't even realize we were carrying (raise your hand if laundry has ever triggered you). If you've ever wanted to feel more grounded, more you, and more like a present mom instead of a frazzled one, this conversation will give you language, tools, and permission to come back to yourself. Connect with Dr. Karen Kramer: Website: DrKarenKramer.com — click the ribbon at the top for details on the Healthy Grief Bundle, or book a free 20-minute discovery call in the upper right corner Book: Healthy Grief — 30 grief-survivor case studies plus the full 5-stage Healthy Grief framework Book: Moving Forward — the companion guidebook, written specifically for the griever, built around the 5-stage model The Hope & Inspiration Oracle Cards — a gentle, colorful tool for daily encouragement, journal prompts, and action steps Books Dr. Karen referenced on identity and motherhood: Divided Lives and Mom Wars Journal Prompts from the Episode: Write a list of 50 things you love to do just for yourself — bubble baths, a walk, a phone call with a friend, a hobby, anything. Once your list is done, choose just one, and give yourself even five minutes to do it this week. Notice what it feels like to reconnect with you. Run the "for what purpose" exercise: the next time you notice a strong reaction, a triggered feeling, or an old thought pattern show up (yes, even over laundry), gently ask yourself "for what purpose did I think/feel/react that way?" seven times in a row. Peel back one layer with each answer and see what belief is waiting underneath. Bonus reflection tool — the 5-Part Healthy Grief Framework (use it any time you feel overwhelmed, lost, or alone): Head: What am I thinking right now? Heart: What am I feeling right now? Steps: What's one small action step I can take? Hands: What support — formal or informal — do I need today? Eyes: What does the future look like, even if it's only 10 minutes from now?

    10 | Stop Saying Yes to All The Things! Setting Boundaries In Corporate with Raquel Ita

    Are you saying yes to everything at work while quietly saying no to your friends, your husband, and your own peace? If your performance review told you that you're "stretched thin", would you see it as failure — or as the wake-up call it's meant to be? What would it look like to lead from mindfulness and boundaries instead of proving your worth through doing more? Highlights of This Episode I am so excited to bring you this conversation with Raquel Ita, because her story mirrors mine in so many ways. Raquel spent over 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in operations leadership and somewhere in the middle of all the achieving, she lost herself. Today she's the host of Setting Boundaries in Corporate, and she helps faith-centered professional women reconnect with who they are. In this episode, we go deep on what it actually looks like when the corporate ladder starts to cost you more than it gives you. Raquel opens up about a season where she was serving on six committees on top of a full-time job and leading a team of seven — and how that slowly eroded her joy, one yes at a time. We talk about the performance review that changed everything for both of us, what it felt like to sit with the discomfort of "meeting expectations" instead of exceeding them, and how that discomfort became the doorway to real mindfulness and clarity. If you're the ambitious mom who's the go-to person at work, who says yes because you genuinely want to help but ends the day mentally exhausted and disconnected from your people — this episode is for you. Raquel walks us through how she found the courage to set boundaries with her boss, what emotional regulation actually looked like in that process, and why the discomfort of disappointing someone is so much smaller than the cost of disappearing from your own life.

Ask yourself: does this still make sense for who I am right now — or for the person I'm becoming? Where in your life have you been saying yes to everything work asks of you, while quietly saying no to the people and things that actually fill you up? What would it look like to flip that this week?

    09 | Why You Can't Sleep — A Mindfulness & Nervous System Reset with Emem Joy Emah

    Have you ever laid in bed and felt like something was physically holding you down — and been too afraid to tell anyone? Do you believe that if you don't carry it, it will fall apart? What would happen if you actually let it? Have you ever "napped" for an hour and woken up feeling like you never slept at all — because your mind never actually stopped running? If any of those hit a little too close to home, mama, this episode is for you. Highlights of This Episode If you've ever laid in bed at 2:00 a.m. running through your to-do list, replaying a conversation with your husband, or bracing for tomorrow's chaos — this episode is your permission slip to finally understand why. I'm joined by Emem, an educator, podcaster, and faith-based encourager who is passionate about helping women find peace, rest, and emotional support through God's word. As the host of Sweet Sleep with Jesus and founder of Get Better Sleep Coaching, Emem supports exhausted women who struggle with racing thoughts, worry, anxiety, and sleep difficulties at night. Emem opens up about her own terrifying season of sleeplessness in college — one that left her so depleted she could barely stand — and the moment her healing actually began. From there, we dive into the real reason so many ambitious moms can't sleep: it's not just a mental load problem, it's a nervous system problem. Emem breaks down how unprocessed stress, fear, and the belief that "if I don't carry it, no one will" keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight long after your head hits the pillow. We talk about mindfulness through a faith-based lens — how to actually practice casting your cares in real time instead of just being told to "stop worrying" — and why boundaries (with your time, your attention, even what you watch on TV) directly impact your emotional regulation and your ability to rest. This one is for the present mom who is so tired of running on empty and ready to learn a real, practical tool for surrendering the weight she was never meant to carry alone. If you've been white-knuckling your way through exhaustion and calling it normal, this conversation will help you see it — and yourself — differently.

    08 | A Bottle of Wine Every Night Wasn't Self Care — It Was a Nervous System Crying for Help

    Do you measure your worth by how much you checked off your to-do list today? Have you ever found yourself rushing — from school drop-off to Costco to a work project to dinner — and wondered... what am I even rushing towards? Do you know deep down that the busyness isn't working, but slowing down feels impossible — even a little unsafe? Are you craving more peace, more presence, and more purpose — but you're not even sure where to start? If you answered yes to any of these, this episode was made for you, mama. What This Episode Is About: In this episode of Ambitious Mom Mindset, I'm getting real about something I lived for years — the exhausting cycle of busyness, the belief that our worth lives in our output, and what it actually takes to break free from it. I share my own story of working hard for someone else's dream, drinking Two Buck Chuck every night just to decompress, and hitting a full midlife crisis at 40 that forced me to ask the question I had been avoiding: God, what is my purpose? If you're an ambitious mama who is doing all the things and still feeling like something is off, this episode is for you. We're talking about mindfulness, nervous system regulation, emotional regulation, and why boundaries aren't just a self-care buzzword — they're the path back to yourself. Here's what you'll walk away with: Why we tie our worth to our busyness — and how that cycle quietly leads to burnout without us even seeing it coming. How your nervous system is keeping you stuck — slowing down feels unsafe because your body has been trained to run. We talk about why, and how to begin retraining it. What it really means to be a present mom — it's not about doing less. It's about living from awareness instead of overwhelm, so you can show up for your kids and yourself from a full cup instead of an empty one. How to actually let go — at work, at home, and within yourself — and why releasing the need to make everyone happy is one of the most powerful things you will ever do. The truth about busy vs. slow — it's not one or the other, mama. It's learning to dance between the two with grace and intention. This episode is for the mama who is ready to stop rushing and start living. Journal Prompts from This Episode: Prompt 1: Where in my life am I using busyness as a badge of honor — and what am I afraid would happen if I slowed down? Prompt 2: When I'm not doing anything, how does my worth show up? What do I see in myself when I remove productivity from the equation? Who am I when I'm just... being?
