Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I have no choice,” or “It’s just how things are right now.” If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not alone.

#337 - Why Every Working Mom Should Write a Reverse Bucket List
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever thought about all the things you’ve done in the past year alone? Not just the big milestones but the small victories that probably felt insignificant at the time but added up to something incredible. Sometimes, we need a little nudge to stop and acknowledge ourselves. That’s where the idea of a Reverse Bucket List comes in—a simple way to see your life through a more compassionate and celebratory lens. So, here’s my question for you: If you wrote down all the moments you’re proud of, what would you discover about yourself? Would you see a woman who’s been doing far...

Episode #336 - What To Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck On Repeat
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever noticed how your brain can latch onto a single thought and refuse to let go? Maybe it’s replaying an awkward moment, overthinking something you said, or obsessing about what someone else might be thinking. It’s like a broken record, looping over and over, and no matter how hard you try, it just won’t stop. This kind of mental replay can be exhausting. It’s not just draining your energy—it’s stealing your time and focus too. You sit there, caught up in the loop, wishing your brain had an “off” switch. But the harder you try to push the thought away, the louder it...

#335 - The Power of Minimalism For Working Moms
The CPA MOMS Podcast
As moms and accountants, we often feel like we’re always running to keep up. There are deadlines to meet, kids to care for, and piles of things—both literal and figurative—demanding our attention. It’s easy to feel stretched thin and wonder if there’s another way. What if simplifying your surroundings could make life feel more manageable? What if letting go of the unnecessary could give you more time, energy, and peace of mind? Think about how much better you feel when you walk into a clean, organized room. Or how much more productive you are when your desk is free of distractions....

#334 - How to Build Unshakable Self-Confidence
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever wished that self-doubt would disappear and you'd be able to do what you want, when you want? Well, what if self-confidence isn’t something you have to earn, but something you can create right now? Many people wait for external validation—like a promotion or praise—before feeling confident, but that approach keeps confidence just out of reach. True self-confidence isn’t about knowing everything or proving yourself first; it’s about trusting your ability to figure things out along the way. Instead of waiting to feel ready, consider that confidence is what helps you...

#333 - How to Do The Impossible (Even When You Doubt Yourself)
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever stopped to think about the things you’re doing now that once felt completely out of reach? It’s amazing how often we achieve things we didn’t think we could—until we actually did. Maybe it’s juggling work and motherhood when you used to wonder how anyone did both. Or maybe it’s tackling a job you once thought you weren’t qualified for, managing a household during chaotic weeks, or handling a tough situation you never imagined you’d get through. But here’s the thing: how often do we stop to give ourselves credit for those wins? How often do we pause to think,...

#332 - Why You Should Practice New Thoughts And How To Do It
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever noticed how some thoughts just keep popping up, even when you’re not trying to think them? It’s like they’re on autopilot, running quietly in the background while you go about your day. And it’s not just the good thoughts, either. It’s often the worries, the doubts, and those sneaky self-criticisms that feel like they’ve set up camp in our minds. As moms, we juggle so much, and it can feel like our minds are always full. We’ve got thoughts about the kids, work, our relationships, and that never-ending list of things we feel we should be doing better. And...

#331 - My Secret To Getting More Done In Less Time
The CPA MOMS Podcast
What if I told you there’s a hidden factor behind why some days feel productive while others feel like a constant battle? It’s not time management strategies or fancy apps—it’s your emotions. Think about it—have you ever felt scattered, struggling to focus, only to realize later it was because of stress? Or felt guilty about work-life balance, and that guilt kept distracting you? These emotions steal our time and energy without us even noticing. If we want to get more done in less time, we have to acknowledge the role emotions play. Time management tools are great, but they don’t...

The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever walked away from a conversation with someone and felt this weird mix of guilt, frustration, or even self-doubt, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on why? Maybe it was something subtle, like a comment that left you wondering if you’ve somehow let them down. Or maybe they just hinted that you should be doing something differently, and suddenly, you’re questioning yourself. I think we’ve all been there – those moments when someone’s words stick with us in a way that doesn’t feel good but feels hard to shake off. That’s what emotional manipulation can...

#329 - The 4 C’s Every Accountant Mom Needs to Know to 'Create Margin' in Her Life
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever wished you had just a little extra space in your life? Not more things to do, but more room to do them—more breathing room between tasks, more time to pause, and more energy left at the end of the day? If that idea sounds like a distant dream, you’re in good company. For so many working moms, especially those of us in demanding professions like accounting, the concept of having space in your life can feel like a luxury you just don’t have. But what if creating this kind of space—what I call creating “margin”—was actually within reach? What if it was more about...
