How to Make Organizational Impact as a Soul Powered Working Mom

In this powerful episode of Soul Powered Revolution, Coach Mo Faul interviews Shayla Eberst, a Chief of Staff who transformed from feeling invisible in her career to becoming a confident leader driving organizational change and securing new funding rounds for her company.
Shayla candidly shares how she navigated a successful career path from nursing to executive leadership while feeling increasingly smaller in her various roles. Despite her impressive trajectory through healthcare leadership and into the private sector, she found herself hitting a ceiling where leaders above her made her feel diminished. Combined with the demands of being a mother of three, wife, and daughter, Shayla began to feel completely unseen—both at work and in her personal life.

What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Shayla's openness about the investment she made in herself and the powerful ancestral visualization exercise that changed her perspective. She describes how generations of women in her lineage—from traditional homemakers to her grandmother who ran a grain elevator in the 1950s—are metaphorically cheering her on to claim her power in ways they never could.

This episode offers profound insights for professional women who feel unseen or stuck in their careers. Shayla's transformation extends beyond her professional life—her children noticed she was "actually present" and listening, her husband observed her newfound capacity for connection, and her organization is about to close another funding round due to the operational improvements she implemented. Her message to women hesitating to invest in themselves: "Do it scared."
