Moms Working Overtime

Alanna Hellman

Moms Working Overtime is the community of women you've been searching to find for SO long. In this season of motherhood, each and every one of us clocks "overtime" hours, showing up the best we can for our family. These seemingly small things are what actually make the biggest impact on our children...and even though they may leave us completely exhausted, they pay time and a half - meaning the return on our investment is far greater than we could ever imagine! We bring together moms in waiting, stay-at-home moms, working moms, brand new moms, and the moms who have just a little bit more experience than the rest of us! Join in for laughs, support, encouragement, and validation of all things motherhood.

    Pep Talk: Even Good Moms Feel Burnt Out Sometimes

    Cancel culture and declining social skills have made being vulnerable, exposing weaknesses, or even trusting a community a really scary thing in motherhood. We're afraid to admit that things aren't going so hot, or that we aren't enjoying the process. We don't want to be labeled a "bad mom." So, as a result, we have created a generation of mothers that suffer in silence and put on a good face. But do you know what is one of the main things that drags out feelings of burnout for months, or even years? ...Suffering, alone, in silence. Burnout is the primary focus of MWO and what we aim to help moms with. In this episode, I'll share our process for supporting and validating burnout, guiding moms to pull their heads back above water and find joy + confidence in this role. Motherhood is hard. And burnout is a really common and valid feeling that we all experience at some point in time - some of us for a day, and others for weeks, months, or even years. But we can't take up residence and LIVE in burnout. There is a way out (we promise!).  Support the show Let's connect on social media!

    Pep Talk: The Struggle is Valid

    "Maybe I'm just not doing this right" - isn't this a thought that crosses each of our minds at some point in time in motherhood? We look up and see SO many moms that just seem to be killing it. They don't look stressed, or frazzled, or exhausted. So, are we doing something wrong?  Nope.  Motherhood is hard. Motherhood is exhausting. Motherhood is meant to challenge us. And motherhood can be an immense sacrifice, often. Just because it leads to all of these things does NOT mean you aren't doing it right or that you aren't a "good mom."  Together, we can support each other and remind each other that everyone has hard days. We're all perfectly designed for this role and our children...and we've got this! Together we can achieve our mission.  You're doing an amazing job, mama. Your struggles are valid, but you don't have to stay miserable in motherhood. We've got you.  Support the show Let's connect on social media!

    Reclaiming Your Joy Through Rest in Motherhood with Certified Pediatric Sleep Coach, Mica Deshaw of "Rested Mama, Happy Baby Sleep Solutions"

    As a mom, we're the thermostat for our family - how we show up and respond to each situation directly influences the way our family does as well. Motherhood can feel so heavy, and even more so when we're sleep deprived, burnt out, and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. My guest on today's podcast interview, Mica Deshaw, is a brilliant pediatric sleep coach who GETS IT. We have both had our fair share of sleep deprivation and we've been where so many moms are at when it comes to infant and toddler sleep. But it doesn't have to be this way! So often, we accept sleep deprivation as the norm. As if it's a non-negotiable component of motherhood that you have to endure, like it or not. That's so far from the truth. Mica speaks all about what sleep training actually is, their signature method at Rested Mama, Happy Baby, how quality sleep can more positively impact both mom AND baby, and a huge opportunity for you to explore future career opportunities as a mom that support your ability to put your family first! There's something for everyone in this episode and we know you'll love getting to know our new friend, Mica.

    5 Things Teachers Want You to Know Heading Into Summer Break with Mrs. Ashley L'Hote

    Can we all agree teachers don't get enough credit, compensation, or respect for the work they do, molding the minds of our children day in and day out? Because I know for a fact that majority of us wouldn't last a week in their role!  Our teachers are incredible and many, if not most, pour their heart and souls into what they do. They practice extreme patience, comfort through struggle, kiss away boo-boo's, navigate behaviors, and so much more. And they're an essential part of our team through motherhood.  One of my favorite teachers, and my best friend, Ashley L'Hote joins the Moms Working Overtime podcast today to share five things teachers want you to know heading into summer break!  You made it to the last day of school, mamas! Now let's make the most of this time with our children.  Connect with Ashley on social media! https://www.instagram.com/ashleylhote/ Support the show Let's connect on social media!
