    They Told Her She Couldn’t—So She Built a School Anyway with Lindsay Jacobi

    What do you do when the dream on your heart doesn’t make sense to anyone else? In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsay Jacobi, founder of Acton Academy Morristown and creator of the Glow Up Collective, who shares the story of how she built a school—while raising three young children, including a newborn—despite being told she wasn’t qualified and that it couldn’t be done.  This conversation is about more than entrepreneurship—it’s about trusting yourself when your vision doesn’t fit inside traditional expectations. We talk about: What it really looks like to pursue a “big” dream in the middle of motherhood How to move forward when others don’t understand (or support) your vision The mindset shift that allowed her to keep going despite doubt Why you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin And one of the most powerful reminders from this episode: You don’t have to blow up your life to start moving in the direction of your dream. If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more—but questioning whether it’s realistic, responsible, or even possible — this episode will meet you right there and expand what you believe is available to you.

    What If Your Career Misalignment Is Actually Leading You to Your Purpose?

    If you’re an ambitious mom questioning your career path and wondering if you’re meant for something more aligned, this episode explores how career transitions can lead you back to your true purpose.  In this reflective solo episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia shares a powerful realization that came through during a recent breathwork experience about purpose, career alignment, and why the next step in your career may be the doorway to something deeper.  Many ambitious moms reach a moment where life looks successful on paper — the career, the credentials, the responsibilities — yet something inside quietly asks, Is this really the path I’m meant to be on? Alicia explores how so many women become disconnected from their deeper purpose as life, expectations, and responsibilities accumulate over time, and why discovering your purpose often begins with a simple but courageous step: questioning whether the work you chose years ago still aligns with who you are today. In this episode, she shares: • Why your next career move doesn’t have to be your final destination • How fear and “sunk-cost thinking” keep women stuck in misaligned work • The difference between reacting to life and intentionally designing it • Why a strategic transition can be the first step toward your purpose If you’ve felt the quiet pull toward something more aligned, this episode will help you see that your next step might simply be the next evolution of who you’re becoming.

    You Can Love Being a Mom… and Still Want More with Jessica Hammock

    What happens when the dream you carried for years finally comes true… and you still feel a pull for more? In this powerful conversation, Jessica “Vibrant” Hammock shares her journey through marriage trauma, infertility, and ultimately becoming a mother after a ten-year wait. But what surprised her most wasn’t motherhood itself — it was the identity recalibration that followed. For ambitious women who once believed motherhood would be the final destination, this episode explores what it means when purpose expands beyond what we originally imagined. We talk about: • navigating grief when dreams evolve • releasing shame around wanting more beyond motherhood • modeling ambition and boundaries for your children • redefining legacy and long-term impact • and building a life that honors both nurture and calling If you’re a driven mom who loves your children deeply but feels a quiet pull to create, lead, or build something meaningful alongside motherhood, this conversation will remind you that wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful — it makes you self-aware. You don’t have to choose between presence and purpose. You can design both — intentionally.
