This is a deeply personal episode. Since becoming a mom, I’ve been struggling with some of my old tendencies of perfectionism and trying to “hold it all together.” I spent years breaking free of these patterns in my career, so it’s been humbling to face right back into them.

When we decided to make this week’s podcast episode about perfectionism, it became, essentially, an “on-air” coaching session for me. 😂 In it, my mama and I discuss practical ways to release perfectionism, the power of small rituals and rhythm for women, and how to let go so you can enjoy more ease and flow… even if you’re a busy career woman or mom yourself!

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re juggling a million balls and barely keeping them in the air, this episode is for you.

As a young woman in my thirties, I’ve benefited so much from my mama’s wisdom about the different ages & stages of life. So in this episode, I asked her to share her wisdom with women everywhere who are going through the four “main stages” of womanhood:

✨ The Maiden (20s & early 30s)
✨ The Queen (33-43ish)
✨ The Alchemist (44-59ish)
✨ The Wise Woman (60-onward)

I ask her questions like: “What do you wish you had known in that stage of life?” “What are some of the common pitfalls or ‘mistakes’ you see women make?” and “What advice do you have for making the most of that season?”

I hope you enjoy this candid mother-daughter conversation, and take something away that can help you enjoy the richness of this season even more… and all the seasons still to come.
