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.

80 | You’re Not Failing the Holidays: Why High-Performing Women Are Exhausted Before Christmas
If you’re listening to this and already feel depleted before Christmas even arrives, this episode is your permission slip to stop pushing and start softening.
In this solo conversation, Shannon speaks directly to the invisible pressure high-performing women carry during the holidays—the emotional labor, the expectations, the perfectionism, and the quiet belief that everyone else is handling it better.
This episode isn’t about productivity, boundaries, or fixing yourself. It’s about relief.
Inside, we unpack the holiday myths that quietly drain your energy, why exhaustion hits before Christmas, and how to let go of the emotional weight you were never meant to carry alone.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why holiday burnout has more to do with beliefs than tasks
- The most common myths high-achieving women internalize this time of year
- How over-functioning becomes invisible emotional labor
- Why guilt often shows up after healthy choices
- How to reclaim your energy without disappointing everyone around you
- Simple, grounding shifts that bring relief immediately (no overhaul required)
This episode is for you if:
- You feel pressure to “hold it all together”
- You’re tired of surviving the holidays instead of enjoying them
- You feel resentful, numb, overwhelmed, or stretched thin
- You want permission to simplify without guilt
You are not failing the holidays.
You are navigating an unrealistic load in a season that asks too much.
And you are allowed to let things be good enough.
