Career Growth for Working Moms | Career Advancement, Overwhelm, Clarity, Visibility, Burnout Recovery
Do you feel stuck in a job you’ve outgrown, but fear making the wrong move?
Torn between being present for your kids and showing up fully at work?
Is financial stress the only thing keeping you in a job you don’t love?
Wishing someone could just help you figure out your next best career step—without all the guesswork and guilt?
You’re in the right place.
This podcast is for ambitious women who want to grow their careers without sacrificing their families—or themselves.
Hey, I’m Shannon - a Career Coach, wife, and mom of two. I’ve been where you are: stuck in burnout, unsure of what’s next, and juggling all the things.
For years, I pushed through jobs that didn’t fit—trying to “do it all” while slowly losing myself.
Everything changed when I discovered my natural strengths and finally started showing up as my authentic self.
I built a successful career and coaching program around helping other working moms do the same—and now I’m sharing what I’ve learned right here with you.
Each week, you’ll get simple, actionable steps to grow your career with confidence, reclaim your time, and align your work with your life—not the other way around.
Grab your coffee (or reheat it for the third time), put in your earbuds, and let’s take the next step—together.

72 | Overwhelmed & Over It: How to Break the Cycle Without Burning It All Down
Hey mama, take a breath.
Overwhelm isn’t a time problem—it’s a clarity problem. In this episode, Shannon gets real about the quiet ways we slip into survival mode (even when we’re “doing everything right”) and the small shifts that buy back calm, presence, and peace.
What You’ll Learn
✅ Why overwhelm happens (even to high performers) and how to spot it before it swallows you
✅ The Four Fog Triggers keeping you stuck
Three calm-creating shifts you can implement this week
✅ How your leadership style (Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac) finds its own path back to calm
Mini Frameworks & Scripts
➡️ Reframe for Overcommitment: “Can I do it… or am I called to do it?”
➡️ Interrupt Overprocessing: Say aloud → “That’s enough thinking. Now I choose peace.” Then take one tiny action.
➡️ Boundary in the Moment: “I reserve evenings for family—I’ll handle this first thing tomorrow.”
➡️ Presence Cue: One breath before meetings (or the kitchen): “I’m here now.”
Try This Week
• Rearrange one day for energy, not just time (don’t stack two drains back-to-back).
• Let one thing be good enough (send the email, leave the slide, accept the lunch your partner packs).
• Define today’s calm leadership move (say no once, eat lunch away from your desk, leave five minutes early).
Bottom line: You don’t need a bigger to-do list—you need better alignment. Peace isn’t a pause in the chaos; it’s how you move through it. 💛
