#348 - 5 Ways to Stop Letting Imposter Syndrome Run the Show
The CPA MOMS Podcast
No matter how smart, hardworking, or experienced you are, there’s still that little voice in your head saying, "Who do you think you are?" If you’ve ever felt like you’re just "lucky" to have your job or that one day, people will figure out you don’t really know what you’re doing, you’re not alone. This feeling has a name—imposter syndrome—and it’s way more common than you think. It’s that sneaky doubt that makes you question if you’re actually good at what you do, even when all the evidence says you are. It shows up when you hesitate to raise your rates when you overwork...

#346 - 5 Small Shifts to Make Your Home a “Soft Place to Fall” - For Everyone, Including You
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked when life gets busy—how your home feels. I don’t mean how clean or organized it is. I mean whether it feels like a soft place to land after a long day or just another place filled with demands and noise. This matters because your home should be more than just a roof over your head or a place to crash. It should feel like the one space in the world where you can truly exhale. A place where you, and everyone you love, can let down their guard and recharge. But if we’re honest, how often does your home actually feel that way? For so...

#345 - How to Create a Working Mom Retreat You’ll Actually Enjoy
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Life as a working mom can be nonstop, can’t it? There’s always another task, another deadline, another person who needs your attention. Somewhere in the chaos, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes you feel good. Maybe you’ve thought about taking a break or even dreamed of a spa day or a quiet weekend, but the idea fades because it feels like too much effort—or too much to ask. Here’s the thing: it’s not about the retreat being perfect or extravagant. It’s about creating a moment for yourself that feels meaningful. Something that lets you breathe, recharge, and reconnect with...

#344 - The Impact of Working Moms on Sons
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Here’s the thing—your son is always watching, even when it doesn’t seem like it. He’s noticing how you juggle work, family, and all the other responsibilities on your plate. He’s paying attention to how you handle tough moments, how you celebrate wins, and how you show up every single day. What do you think he’s learning from all of that? We often think about the messages we’re sending to our daughters, but our sons are soaking up just as much. Have you ever stopped to wonder what he’s learning about women by watching you? Or how seeing you work hard might shape the kind...

#343 - The Impact of Working Moms on Daughters
The CPA MOMS Podcast
With Mother’s Day in a week, I decided that for the next two weeks I’m going to talk about the impact of working moms on daughters and on sons. This week I'm just focusing on daughters, but if you don’t have a daughter, I would still listen in because, let's face it, you are a daughter and you never know what you might discover. And if you have a daughter like I do, I want to talk about something that’s probably crossed your mind as a working mom: how your career is impacting your daughter. It’s one of those things we think about in the quiet moments, wondering if what we’re...

#342 - The Best Time Management Habits For Working Moms
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Being a working mom can feel like a never-ending juggling act. When my children were younger, I remember that some days, it was like no matter how early I woke up or how much I planned, there was still too much to do and not enough time to do it. I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way. You start the day with the best intentions, but by the time it’s over, you’re wondering where all the hours went and why you still feel behind. It’s exhausting. And let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, you’re just barely keeping your head above water. The...

#340 - Finding Your Tribe - The Importance Of Friendships As A Busy Working Mom
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Think about the last time you laughed so hard with a friend that it felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders. When was the last time you felt truly understood without having to explain yourself? These are the kinds of connections that can keep us grounded, even when life feels chaotic. Yet, for so many moms, it feels like friendships belong in the “someday” pile—the pile of things we’ll get to once everything else is done. But let’s be honest: when is everything ever done? What if finding your tribe isn’t about adding something else to your to-do list but about enriching...

#339 - Dealing with Judgment and Criticism as a Working Mom
The CPA MOMS Podcast
Have you ever left work at a reasonable time to pick up your kids and felt like you were being silently—or not so silently—judged? Maybe a coworker makes a snide comment, or you get that look from someone as if to say, “Must be nice to leave early.” The thing is, juggling work and family is already hard enough without feeling like you’re under a microscope. You’re trying to do your best for your family and your career, but somehow, it never feels like enough. It’s exhausting, and it can leave you second-guessing yourself constantly. Why is it that judgment from others, or...
info_outlineWhat 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 stand a chance if we’re weighed down by stress.
This week, I’m going to discuss how unproductive emotions sabotage productivity and how to take control of unproductive emotions and get more done in less time.
