The Working Mom Mindset: What's Really Holding You Back with Michelle Kais
Have you ever looked at your life and felt like you're just going through the motions, living out a version of motherhood that doesn't quite feel like you? You're not alone. So many of us get lost in the shuffle of school runs, work deadlines, and endless to-do lists, putting our own dreams on a dusty shelf. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Michelle Kais, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Mindset Mom Coach. We get real about the invisible barriers that keep working moms feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their authentic selves. Michelle shares why so many high-achieving women feel lost on the inside, even when everything looks perfect on the outside. This isn't just another chat about working mom balance. This episode is the permission slip you've been waiting for. It's a guide to breaking free from the mom guilt that holds you back and reconnecting with the person you are beneath all the roles you play. If you've been telling yourself "someday," this conversation will inspire you to make "someday" today.
