    Balancing Leadership and Motherhood: Choosing What Belongs (and What Doesn't) in This Season of Life

    In this episode, Leanna explores the powerful mindset shift of embracing life’s various seasons and giving yourself permission to let go of unrealistic expectations. She invites listeners to examine what belongs in their current season and what can be temporarily or permanently set down. Leanna explores how redefining success, relinquishing old expectations, and aligning your energy with your current values can actually make you more effective and fulfilled as a leader and as a mother. If you’ve been feeling the pressure to “do it all,” this episode is a refreshing reminder that you *can* have it all, just not all at once. Full transcript available here. Connect with Leanna here.

    What Does it Mean to be Strong? Navigating Grief & Redefining Strength After Loss - with Kami Wernimont

    In observance of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Leanna welcomes back Kami Wernimont, founder and president of Let the Light In, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women and families through loss. Kami shares how her organization has grown and evolved over the past two years, offering one-on-one companion support, community events, and new initiatives for siblings and families. Together, Leanna and Kami explore what it truly means to take care of yourself in grief, how to find comfort in the uncomfortable, and why strength often looks more like gentleness, rest, and honesty than pushing through pain. This episode is a tender reminder that healing isn’t about moving on – it’s about learning to walk with grief – and that none of us have to walk it alone. Full transcript available here. Re-visit episode 17 to hear Kami’s story. Re-visit episode 62 for last year’s update and to hear the lessons Kami shared about supporting others while maintaining her own self-care and quality time with her children.

    How to Overcome Resistance to Change and Finally Start Putting Yourself First (Taking Care of Yourself #6)

    In this sixth episode of the Taking Care of Yourself series, Leanna gets personal about the resistance so many working and executive moms feel when it comes to making positive changes in their lives. Even when we know what we need to do to feel better, our brains often keep us stuck in old patterns, convincing us it’s too hard, won’t make a difference, or that we’ll fail if we can’t do it perfectly. Leanna explores why that happens, how to recognize the thought errors that hold us back, and what it looks like to move forward with small, meaningful steps instead of waiting for the “perfect” moment. If you’ve ever felt like taking care of yourself is just one more impossible thing on your to-do list, this episode will remind you that change doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, and that even 1% shifts can create lasting transformation.

    Burnout as Betrayal: Breaking Free from People Pleasing and Perfectionism to Reclaim Your Energy - with Lora Cheadle (Taking Care of Yourself #3)

    What if burnout isn’t just exhaustion, but a form of betrayal? In this episode, attorney-turned-coach and TEDx speaker, Lora Cheadle, shares how years of people pleasing, perfectionism, and prioritizing everyone else’s needs over her own left her depleted, and how she discovered that the deepest betrayal wasn’t her husband’s long-term infidelity, but the ways she had abandoned her own needs. Lora reframes burnout as a wake-up call to stop self-sacrificing and start honoring your worth. She offers a powerful framework for identifying unmet needs, moving beyond resentment, and building resilience. This conversation will challenge how you see burnout, and it will inspire you to reclaim your authenticity and self-trust.

    Empowering Executive Moms to Recognize Your Own Needs Without Guilt (Taking Care of Yourself #2)

    High-achieving working mothers are so attuned to recognizing everyone else’s needs at work, at home, and everywhere in between, that we often overlook our own. In this episode of the Taking Care of Yourself series, Leanna explores why tuning into your own needs matters, how ignoring them eventually leads to burnout or resentment, and why recognizing them is the very first step toward balance. She introduces Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a practical framework, shares everyday examples of how unmet needs show up in our behavior, and walks through the RAIN method (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) to help you build awareness without judgment. You’ll leave this episode with clarity on how to start small, meet one need at a time, and begin shifting from putting yourself last to honoring your needs with confidence and without guilt. Whether you’re leading a team at work, caring for your family, or both, this conversation is a compassionate reminder that meeting your own needs is not selfish; it’s the foundation for lasting success and joy, as well as the model we want to be for those who look up to us. Start at the beginning of the journey. Listen to The Mindset Shifts Every Executive Mom Needs to Balance Ambition and Well-Being, the first episode of the Taking Care of Yourself series to uncover why we so often ignore our own needs and how to begin rewriting that story.
