Welcome back to the Busy Moms Get It Done podcast!

It’s been six incredible, exhausting, and transformative months, and I’m finally ready to share my honest reflection on this wild journey of being a busy mom and a podcaster.

In this emotional and candid episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the expectations I had about motherhood versus the beautiful, challenging reality.

🤰 The Reality Check: I’m discussing how motherhood has significantly impacted my career and personal growth.

We dive into the big question: Can women truly have it all?

🧘 Prioritizing Rest & Gratitude The biggest lesson learned is the absolute importance of self-care and being present in every area of life.

👋 Taking A Break: See You in 2026! This episode is also a difficult SEE YOU LATER, as I announce plans to take a necessary break to recharge and reimagine the podcast.

But I can't wait for the podcast to come back better than before next year!
