Moms Making Moves Today
Mom, You Can Too
Hey Mom!
I am glad that you are here. In this episode, you will get to know who I am, why this topic is important, and why this is the podcast you have been searching for. Yes, I will share with you my journey, and why I decided to create the Moms Making Moves Today Podcast in the first place.
Transcript Excerpts:
Do you sometimes ask yourself what if questions? I'm a mom's mom, meaning I love to see moms soar and become all that they were meant to be in the world and it is so needed. I believe in being intentional about development and surrounding yourself with the right tribe to push to become more. This is why I started this podcast. This is a place where moms can be vulnerable and hear firsthand from other moms how they were able to make moves in the world. I truly believe that what we go through is not just for us but for us to share it with someone else here. We will not judge or start comparing ourselves to others. What will happen is we will be encouraged to step out there and jump towards goals that we have shared or even sometimes just kept to ourselves due to fear that someone would judge us or say that we were too old or young and shouldn't do that because we're moms.
We will discuss not stressing over everything, being perfect, trusting and inviting more help from others and creating the life that you always said that you wanted. You'll also get the chance to hear from guests who will share their stories, which includes successes and challenges on various topics such as entrepreneurship, growth in their careers or even their communities and so much more. We will connect with moms that just had children and those that have been rocking this mom thing for awhile or even married to someone that already had kids and then they became a bonus mom. We will talk to stay at home moms, working moms and those that recently retired. Yes, all types of Moms are Making Moves Today. I hand selected these guests because I know they will provide you with the answers you've been looking for for when it comes to doing it afraid and getting past the mom guilt in order to not only make your family proud but you make yourself proud as well.

You're listening to the Moms Making Moves Today Podcast. Listen to moms share their stories, lessons, and best practices on how they're crushing it in business health, faith, and their communities, plus so much more. Here's your host, Andrea McKoy.
Andrea McKoy:Welcome to Mom's Making Moves Today. Podcast. I'm your host, Andrea McKoy. I am so excited. This podcast has been on my mind and heart for awhile and it's finally here. I'll be giving you the inside scoop from new savvy and bonus moms that are pushing past mom guilt, fear, or the overwhelm of life to become more than moms and live their dreams and goals out loud and unapologetic every single day. Weekly, we will listen to moms via interviews and gain insight regarding the tools, processes, and creative steps that they took to manage motherhood and still thrive in business, fitness, faith communities, and so much more. Now here's a little bit about me. I'm married to my best friend. I'm a mom of two, a teenage girl and an angel, baby boy in heaven. I graduated from the university of Maryland, majoring in communications. Go TERPs. I work full time at the same company since college. Yes, the same company since college. I have been a PTA president for over three years. Oh my goodness. Yes. I said it three years. Please join the PTA moms. They do so much and need your support. That is my shameless plug for the PTA. Back to little bit more about me and I'm a podcaster now I'm so excited! You see, three years ago, my family decided to leave our extended family and move from the East coast to Texas for work. This was a huge and scary decision. We had spent all our lives in the DMV. I'm sorry, DMV, DC, Maryland and Virginia just in case. Yes, we were afraid, but it has been one of the key factors in our growth professionally and personally. I often think, what if we had not moved? What F what if we had not stepped out on faith and taken that chance? Do you sometimes ask yourself what if questions? I'm a mom's mom, meaning I love to see moms soar and become all that they were meant to be in the world and it is so needed. I believe in being intentional about development and surrounding yourself with the right tribe to push to become more. This is why I started this podcast. This is a place where moms can be vulnerable and hear firsthand from other moms how they were able to make moves in the world. I truly believe that what we go through is not just for us but for us to share it with someone else here. We will not judge or start comparing ourselves to others. What will happen is we will be encouraged to step out there and jump towards goals that we have shared or even sometimes just kept to ourselves due to fear that someone would judge us or say that we were too old or young and shouldn't do that because we're moms. Don't get me wrong. Being a mom is so important and really is one of the most difficult things you will ever do in life. I know that I have learned so much more about myself by being a mom. In fact, I treasure being a mom, but my role as a mom is not always my most important role every day and to be honest, that doesn't make me a bad mom says this will be your safe place where you will receive motivation and that last push that you have been looking for. I pray that you find that having kids doesn't mean that you have to leave your dreams or goals behind. In fact, I hope that becoming a mom lets you know that you are made for more. Each week we're going to take a deep dive into topics like business health and yes, even motherhood. We will discuss not stressing over everything, being perfect, trusting and inviting more help from others and creating the life that you always said that you wanted. You'll also get the chance to hear from guests who will share their stories, which includes successes and challenges on various topics such as entrepreneurship, growth in their careers or even their communities and so much more. We will connect with moms that just had children and those that have been rocking this mom thing for awhile or even married to someone that already had kids and then they became a bonus mom. We will talk to stay at home moms, working moms and those that recently retired. Yes, all types of Moms are Making Moves Today. I hand selected these guests because I know they will provide you with the answers you've been looking for for when it comes to doing it afraid and getting past the mom guilt in order to not only make your family proud but you make yourself proud as well. Sometimes we need to hear that it's okay to start that business you've always wanted or go for that promotion you've had your eye on for months or maybe even years. Perhaps you want to be more healthy or start that nonprofit. That is something that you've just been very passionate about and now it's time to make it a movement. Whatever it is, you can and you should do it. The reason why this topic is so important to me you ask? Because I connect with so many moms and when I asked them what are they passionate about? So many times I receive the response. Um, I don't know. Now that breaks my heart. I remember when my daughter was very young and every day I used to give her a cancer and say, you can do anything. You can be anything. Just go for it. Do you know one day that little girl told me after I said that to her, you can be anything. You can do anything. Just go for it. And she said, so can you mommy? We as moms want so much for our children and tell them that they can do anything. But when it comes to ourselves, doubt, fear, or even procrastination kicks in. Well, not anymore. I'm here to shed more light on how you can rock it in motherhood and still soar in other areas of your life. This podcast is to give a perspective that is rarely shared by moms. Remember, just because your life changes doesn't mean that your deepest passions have to change as well. You just need to hold onto three things to accomplish them. Number one, drive. You know what set that time aside and just push and go for it. Whatever it is that you want to do, you still can. You just have to find the drive for it. Number two, focus it crystal clear on what it is that you want to do and focus on that goal. And three, something I have found to be very instrumental in my growth support. The support can come from friends, family, your girlfriends, maybe close cousins, whoever. Just share your dream with someone else and what you get might surprise you. Even when you share your dream with your kids, they can sometimes be your greatest accountability partner. Yes, mom, you can still make moves today if you haven't already. Go ahead and subscribe to the podcast so you can be the first to know when new episodes drop. I'm really looking forward to sharing everything I know and for you to hear from other moms via this podcast on how to be a great mom and still thrive in other areas of your life. The next episode, we will have our first guest and I'm really excited for you to hear from her, so talk to you soon. And mom, remember you got this.
