    In this episode, Denise highlights the next five most listened-to episodes of 2025, revisiting the conversations that continued to resonate with working moms as the year unfolded. These episodes captured real-life leadership moments, honest challenges, and the mindset shifts that helped working moms navigate busy seasons with more clarity and confidence.  As Denise walks through these standout episodes, she reflects on the themes that surfaced again and again: making decisions with intention, letting go of expectations that no longer serve you, and leading with purpose both professionally and personally. Each conversation serves as a reminder that growth does not always look loud or linear, but it is always meaningful.  At its core, this episode is about perspective. It’s an invitation to recognize how much you’ve carried, how much you’ve learned, and how much strength it takes to keep showing up day after day. It reframes the year not by what was accomplished, but by the wisdom gained along the way.  You’ll leave this episode feeling encouraged, affirmed, and reminded that every season matters. It’s a chance to reflect with grace, reconnect with the lessons that shaped this year, and move forward feeling supported, grounded, and aligned with what truly matters most.  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 47: The Year Through the Lens of Working Moms Redefined: Part 1

    In this episode, Denise highlights five of the most listened-to episodes from this year, revisiting the conversations that resonated most deeply with working moms navigating leadership, motherhood, and everything in between. Each episode featured offered a moment of clarity, validation, or encouragement, and together they tell a powerful story about what working moms needed most this year.  Denise walks through the themes woven throughout these top episodes, from redefining success and setting boundaries, to embracing growth, confidence, and season-specific priorities. She reflects on how these conversations continue to meet working moms exactly where they are, often landing differently depending on the season of life or leadership you’re in now.  This episode is a reminder to pause and acknowledge your growth. It’s about honoring the lessons learned, the shifts made, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up, both at work and at home. It reframes reflection not as looking back with pressure, but as looking back with perspective and grace.  You’ll leave this episode feeling grounded, encouraged, and reminded that you are not alone in this journey. It’s a chance to see the year not through a lens of what wasn’t done, but through everything that mattered, and to step forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.  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.

    Episode 43: Finding Gratitude in the Chaos: The Everyday Moments That Make Us Smile with Denise

    Let’s be honest- sometimes gratitude feels hard. Between the morning chaos, reheated coffee, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s easy to miss the small, sacred moments that make our days meaningful. In this episode, Denise shares what fun little things keep her gracious and not anxious. From the comfort of a warm mug (even if it’s been microwaved twice) to the laughter that follows a day gone completely sideways, this is a reminder that gratitude doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. It’s found in the real, messy, beautiful moments of everyday life. Tune in, smile a little, and remember: how we view things is how we do things.

    Episode 41: No Time for Me? Why Hobbies Matter for Working Moms (and Dads Too) with Author AJ Simmons

    So many working moms (and dads) feel like hobbies are a luxury they don’t have time for. In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down for a fun and honest conversation with author AJ Simmons about why carving out “me time” isn’t selfish, it’s essential.  Through lighthearted icebreakers (like hobbies gone hilariously wrong and dream passions we’d turn into full-time jobs) to deeper reflections on parenting, stress relief, and balance, this episode explores how hobbies can make moms more present, energized, and connected at home and work.  You’ll hear a partner’s perspective on what men often miss about the mental load moms carry, why “micro-hobbies” can matter just as much as big ones, and how dads can support moms in reclaiming time for joy and creativity. We wrap up with fun takes on hobby trends, couple connections, and the dream hobbies we imagine when the kids are grown.  If you’ve ever thought, “I literally don’t have five minutes for myself,” this conversation will inspire you to see hobbies differently- as fuel, not fluff.  Link to purchase AJ’s book:  https://www.amazon.com/Space-Time-J-Simmons-ebook/dp/B0FW3YQB6Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=MJBP32V8JVYD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PKgTta0gipcKel6zyyHq3Q.8VrpQnNPa-zaYYrO6PAB61QzY61xBLQEZn1DAgI2UxM&dib_tag=se&keywords=aj+simmons+space+and+time&qid=1760663758&sprefix=aj+simmons+space+and+time%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1&dplnkId=4ad5a480-8c54-40e6-9e6a-e2cd3f5e862e&nodl=1  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.
