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.

78 | The 4 Boundary Shifts That Protect Your Peace in December
Be honest, mama — does December feel like everything is pulling on you at once?
The pressure to make the holidays magical… keep your career running… show up for family… stay cheerful… and somehow not crumble under the weight of it all?
If so, you’re not alone.
And today’s episode is your permission slip and your strategy.
Because here’s the truth:
Peace is not passive. Peace is a leadership decision. And if you don’t protect it, everything else will take it.
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down 4 boundary shifts that actually work for working moms — not vague advice, not “just say no,” but real, doable boundaries rooted in emotional needs, bandwidth, and your leadership wiring.
And yes… your leadership style affects the boundaries you struggle with most. I’m breaking down each style and the exact shift that will give you instant relief.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✅ Why peace is a decision, not a December miracle ✅ The powerful rule: “I don’t do that in December” — and how to use it without guilt ✅ How the Slow Reply Strategy stops urgency from running your life ✅ Why every mom needs a daily Peace Hour (even if it’s 10 minutes) ✅ The transformative One Emotional Responsibility Per Day Rule✅ How each leadership style (Boss Lady in Action, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac) gets trapped in December — and the boundary they need most ✅ The ONE boundary shift to choose today to reclaim your sanity, your schedule, and your emotional bandwidth
💛 Mama, remember…
You are not responsible for creating a perfect holiday. You are responsible for protecting your well-being inside the holiday you’re living.
And when your boundaries match your wiring? Peace becomes possible — not someday, but today.
If this episode gave you clarity or relief, share it with another working mom who needs breathing room this season.
You never know whose peace you’ll protect. 💛
