    Stop Reacting! Start Creating!

    What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your strategy… but the story you keep telling yourself? In this episode of Mommas Making Commas, Kate sits down with self-leadership strategist Ly Smith (“Lee” Smith) to talk about the internal shifts women need to make when moving from survival mode into intentional living and entrepreneurship. So many women are busy, overwhelmed, checking all the boxes, and chasing goals… yet still feel stuck, disconnected, and frustrated that life doesn’t seem to work for them the way they hoped. Ly shares how high-performing women often become trapped in reactive patterns rooted in self-doubt, imposter syndrome, procrastination, and playing small — not because they lack ability, but because they’ve forgotten who they truly are underneath the pressure and expectations. Together, Kate and Ly unpack how to move from reacting to life into consciously creating a life aligned with your truth, values, gifts, and greatness. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between living as a reactor versus a creatorWhy so many ambitious women stay stuck despite working hardHow self-talk shapes confidence, action, and successSigns you may be disconnected from yourselfWhy alignment matters more than hustleReframing imposter syndrome and procrastinationThe power of identity and self-awareness in entrepreneurshipThe CANDY Method for rewriting self-talk and stepping into empowermentThe CANDY Method includes: ClarityAffirmationNecessity (taking action)DisciplineYouThis episode is a reminder that there is already genius, greatness, and gifting inside of you — and sometimes the next level of your life begins by remembering who you truly are.

    Following Your Happiness Compass with Emily Saler

    What if the dreams in your heart weren't asking you to choose between motherhood and ambition? In this inspiring episode of Mommas Making Commas, Kate sits down with entrepreneur, creative leader, and manifestation mentor Emily Saler to talk about the moment that changed everything. While on maternity leave and preparing to return to work in less than a month, Emily found herself spiraling. She loved her career and knew that meaningful work filled her cup and helped her show up as an even better mom. Yet the guilt was overwhelming. She believed she had to choose. Be a great mother.Or be successful in her career. Not both. To make matters worse, she had no childcare lined up for her son. It felt like the universe was closing every door. Then, during a late-night doom scroll, she stumbled upon a quote from one of her favourite mentors, Abraham Hicks: "Do you know that 30 days of feeling wonderful is all you need to manifest the biggest dreams you ever had?" Everything shifted. Instead of focusing on everything that was going wrong in her external world, Emily turned inward. She committed to cultivating joy, possibility, and asking herself: "What if it all worked out even greater than I could imagine?" Within just 11 days of intentionally shifting her energy, the miracles began. The perfect full-time daycare opening appeared for her son—just two weeks before her return-to-work date.A $20,000 branding client landed in her inbox.That opportunity led to opening her dream business with her dream partner.And just two weeks after returning to work, her dream six-figure Creative Director position unexpectedly became available.Aligned step after aligned step. Within six months, Emily stepped into a career that provided: Family-first flexibilityFinancial freedomCreative fulfillmentPurpose-driven leadershipThe ability to be both an incredible mama and an ambitious womanBecause the truth is, we don't have to sacrifice one identity for another. Why so many women believe they have to choose between motherhood and successThe guilt working moms often carryHustle culture and the burnout cycleShifting from fear and scarcity into possibility and trustFollowing your "happiness compass"The power of your internal world to change your external realityRecognizing aligned opportunitiesManifestation through intentional energy and actionCreating success that feels good instead of exhaustingEmily's upcoming program, Freedom FrequenciesThis conversation is a beautiful reminder that your dreams aren't selfish—and that sometimes the breakthrough begins when you stop trying to control everything outside of you and start tending to what is happening within.

    From Burnout to Balance: Simple Shifts That Change Everything with Becky Webb

    In this powerful episode of Mommas Making Commas, Kate sits down with wellness advocate and coach Becky Webb to discuss something every busy mom needs more of: peace, energy, and purpose. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or disconnected from yourself while trying to juggle family, work, and life, this conversation is for you. Becky shares how regulating your nervous system, embracing who you are, and making simple shifts in your daily habits can dramatically impact your health, mindset, and ability to create the life you truly want. This episode is a reminder that success isn't built through constant hustle. It starts with creating a strong foundation in mind, body, and soul. Why so many moms are living in a constant state of stress and overwhelmThe importance of nervous system regulation for health, happiness, and successHow simple daily habits can create major shifts in your energy and purposeWhy embracing who you are today is the first step toward becoming who you're meant to beThe connection between your biology, mindset, influence, and impactPractical ways moms can begin moving from burnout to balanceBecky's superpower is helping moms feel like the best version of themselves in mind, body, and soul. Through simple, sustainable shifts, she helps women reconnect with their energy, regain clarity, and discover their purpose so they can show up more fully in every area of their lives. Being stuck in "emergency mode" keeps you in survival, not growth. Creating calm within your body allows you to think clearly, make better decisions, and move forward with confidence. You don't need to become someone else to be successful. Embrace who you are while staying open to who you're becoming. Your unique gifts may be exactly what someone else needs. Small changes in your biology can create massive changes in your life. Better energy, improved health, greater purpose, and stronger influence often begin with simple daily actions. If you're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply need a moment to breathe, Becky has created a beautiful free resource for you: A simple audio series designed to help busy moms find more peace, rest, and nourishment in their daily lives.

    The Truth About Midlife Entrepreneurship (No One Talks About This)

    What if the life you worked so hard to build… isn’t the life you actually want? In this episode, I sit down with Aliw Pablo, co-founder of BUNSO Collection, to unpack what it really looks like to pivot in midlife, follow your purpose, and build something meaningful, even when it’s hard. Aliw spent over 20 years in media, working high-paying, fast-paced jobs that looked successful on paper… but left little room for actually living. After a wake-up moment that changed everything, she chose a different path, one rooted in faith, storytelling, and purpose. But this isn’t just a highlight reel. We go deep into:• the emotional and financial risk of starting a business• the real truth about selling on Amazon (fees, returns, and low success rates)• taking out a $100K home equity loan to bet on themselves• navigating information overload and learning curves• and why building a business is a lot like having a baby, messy, exhausting, and absolutely worth it This conversation is for the woman who knows she’s meant for more… but needs to hear what it really takes. • Why success on paper doesn’t always equal fulfillment• The moment that made Aliw rethink her entire career• How faith carried her family through a life-altering health journey• The difference between gross revenue vs. actual profit (and why it matters)• The hidden realities of Amazon: fees, returns, and competition• Why only a small percentage of businesses truly succeed — and how to stay in the game• How to move forward when you feel paralyzed by information overload• When to ask for help (and why hiring experts can change everything)• The unexpected perks of entrepreneurship — time freedom, flexibility, and building an asset• Why purpose has to be bigger than money if you want to last “Success isn’t just about income — it’s about having a life you actually get to live.” “People see the sales… but they don’t see the returns, the fees, or the years it takes to become profitable.” “Building a business is like having a baby, you don’t know what you’re doing at first, you lose sleep, you learn as you go… and somehow, it becomes one of the most meaningful things you’ve ever done.” Aliw Pablo is the co-founder of BUNSO Collection, an affordable luxury diaper bag brand designed for modern parents. A mom of two young adults, podcaster, entrepreneur, and media professional with over 20 years of experience, she brings a seasoned and grounded perspective to everything she creates. With a passion for helping families make smarter choices, Aliw blends storytelling, practicality, and real-life parenting insights to create products that go far beyond the diaper stage. • Website: bunsocollection.shop• Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A2RQ3RV57HG7K3&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebunsocollection/ If this episode hit you, share it with a friend who’s been saying “I know I’m meant for more.” And if you’re ready to start building income in the small pockets of your day, without burnout or selling, send me a message with the word COFFEE ☕ and I’ll show you how. hello@iamkatemoir.com or lets connect on social @iamkatemoir
