    6D AGO

    Episode 51: Starting Strong and Staying Steady: Motivation, Discipline, and Self-Leadership in the New Year

    This week on Working Moms Redefined, Denise is sharing reflections from a recent live conversation she hosted for the Nutrition HQ community about motivation, discipline, and what it really looks like to keep showing up for ourselves. At the start of a new year, motivation can feel hopeful and exciting. We make plans, set goals, and imagine how good it will feel to finally follow through. But as Denise gently reminds us, motivation is fleeting and that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It just means you’re human.  In this episode, Denise talks about the shift from waiting to feel motivated to choosing discipline as an act of self-leadership. Not rigid, all-or-nothing discipline, but the kind rooted in care, intention, and trust in yourself. The kind that carries you forward on the days when life is full, energy is low, and no one else is cheering you on.  This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to overhaul your life or have it all figured out. You need to keep taking small, aligned steps toward the things that matter to you. You are allowed to lead yourself with compassion, grace, and consistency. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because your motivation faded or wondered why you keep starting over, this episode is for you. You are not behind, and you are more capable than you realize.  Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:    Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined    Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.

    Episode 50: Parenting with Calm and Connection: Real Solutions for the Hard Days with Todd Sarner of Transformative Parenting

    Parenting isn’t hard because you’re doing it wrong- it’s hard because it’s deeply emotional work. In this episode, Denise sits down with Todd Sarner, founder of Transformative Parenting, to talk about what really makes parenting feel so challenging- even for smart, intentional, loving moms.  Together, they unpack why behavior problems are often communication problems, how to stay calm when emotions run high, and where to start when you’re craving more peace and connection at home. Todd also shares practical ways to get your partner on board, build emotional resilience in your kids, and navigate modern parenting challenges like screens and stress without losing yourself in the process.  If you’ve ever felt like parenting shouldn’t be this hard, this conversation will remind you—you’re not alone, and there’s a calmer, more connected way forward.  Connect with Todd Sarner  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tparenting/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tparenting   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddsarner/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TransformativeParenting   Website: https://transformativeparenting.com/about   Free Transformative Parenting Masterclass https://masterclassforparents.com/?sl=tpwebsitemasterclass   Todd’s Book  https://transformativeparenting.com/the-calm-connected-parent  Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:  Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined   Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!    Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.

    Episode 49: Imagine Feeling Beautiful Again in the New Year: Mindset, Micro Habits, and Real Confidence with Michelle Stallings

    In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, I’m joined by Michelle Stallings, health coach and founder of Ambitious and Fit, who is dedicated to helping women break free from the cycle of putting themselves last. If you are tired of pushing your health to the back-burner, not feeling confident in your own skin, hiding from photos, or thinking you need to restrict, shrink, or punish yourself to feel better, this conversation will speak directly to you. Michelle believes mental clarity comes before physical results, and today she explains why mindset is the foundation of every lasting change. We talk about the most common traps working moms fall into, why so many of us feel stuck even when we know what to do, and how to shift from guilt and perfectionism into caring for yourself with confidence and intention. Michelle shares how to build routines that feel like Wonder Woman strength on real-life schedules, how to tune into what your body actually needs, and how to stop chasing diet culture expectations and start owning what balance means for you. She also offers simple micro habits and realistic starting points for the mom who feels overwhelmed or stretched thin. If you’re ready to feel beautiful in your own skin, build a strong and toned body you are proud of, and create habits that let you show up as the best version of yourself at home and at work, Michelle’s wisdom will feel like a breath of fresh air. Girl, she’s got you.   Connect with Michelle  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelleestallings/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088201856669   Website: https://ambitiousandfit.com/   Podcast: Ambitious and Fit | Podcast on Spotify  Free downloadable:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m1wRDsGxHwSZKpm2zCQUq04puZjCEppR/view?mcp_token=eyJwaWQiOjk2MjM3NSwic2lkIjoxMzY0MzYxMjAsImF4IjoiN2YzY2QwODU5NWE5NGQ4MjU2NTIxZWExNTRiMTliZGMiLCJ0cyI6MTc2NDg4NTI4NiwiZXhwIjoxNzY3MzA0NDg2fQ.5usQ8scHqZmYeQkKjG_fIAPeEUvIntLijlA94wf-Bl0  Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:   Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined   Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.

    Episode 46: The Ultimate Christmas Checklist: More Joy, Less Pressure

    This week on Working Moms Redefined, Denise walks you through The Ultimate Christmas Checklist for Working Moms- a simple, joy-filled guide designed to help you create meaningful memories without adding more to your plate in the busiest season of the year.  Instead of trying to do everything, Denise shares how to choose the traditions that matter most: mailing letters to Santa, driving around to see Christmas lights, letting kids pick out ornaments that reflect who they are right now, sibling gift exchanges, Christmas movie nights, cut-out cookies, and more. She even dives into the magic-makers- letters from Santa, footprints by the fireplace and why it’s totally OK if the Elf on the Shelf never shows up at your house.  But more than that, this episode reframes Christmas for working moms. It’s a reminder that your kids don’t need a perfect season, they need you. They need presence, not pressure. Connection, not comparison.  Denise also shares the leadership lessons woven into this season: how modeling joy, flexibility, and intention shapes your home and teaches your kids what truly matters.  You’ll leave this episode feeling lighter, inspired, and clear on how to create a Christmas that’s both memorable and manageable- a season rooted in joy, connection, and grace.  Grab your Christmas Checklist here: https://www.workingmomsredefined.com/The-Ultimamte-Christmast-Checklist  Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:  Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined  Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!  Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.

    Episode 45: Healthy(ish) Holidays: How to Stress Less, Eat Freely, and Actually Enjoy the Season with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb

    The holidays are supposed to be joyful—but for many working moms, they can feel like a juggling act of stress, sugar, and self-criticism. In this episode, Denise sits down with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, a triple board-certified physician in internal, lifestyle, and obesity medicine, to talk about what it really means to stay healthy—physically and mentally—through the busiest season of the year.  Dr. Garcia-Webb works with high-achieving professionals who want to feel their best without falling into guilt, perfectionism, or unrealistic wellness expectations. Together, she and Denise unpack how to navigate food freedom during the holidays, manage comparison and stress, and create healthy rhythms that actually fit your life—not the other way around.  Whether you’re trying to balance holiday parties with real rest or simply want to ditch the “detox” mindset, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, grounded, and equipped to redefine health on your own terms this season.   Connect with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghan-garcia-webb-md-54118a5/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WellnesswithDrMeghan   Website: https://www.weightmedicinemd.com/     Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:   Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined   Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.

    Episode 44: From Overwhelmed to In Control: A New Movement to Work, Mother, and Live with Courtney Cecil

    In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, I’m joined by Courtney Cecil, CEO, founder of the Working Moms Movement, mom of two, and a woman on a mission to help moms reclaim their time, energy, and identity. After walking through burnout, overwhelm, and the pressure to “do it all,” Courtney built an entire movement to reshape how women think about balance. Today, she shares what work-life balance actually looks like for modern mothers, the most common mistakes we make, and how to build schedules that support our family’s natural rhythm instead of someone else’s version of success. We talk about mom guilt, perfectionism, and the quiet pressure to measure ourselves against curated motherhood online- and the mindset shifts that bring peace back into the picture. Courtney offers practical tools to reduce overwhelm, set boundaries without guilt, decide what gets your yes (and your no), and take back control of your calendar before it takes control of you. If you’re tired, stretched thin, or craving more clarity and calm in your days, this conversation will remind you that balance isn’t a fantasy- it’s a set of small, intentional choices that you’re absolutely capable of making. This episode will leave you feeling lighter, supported, and empowered to redefine what success looks like for you, right where you are.
