🎙️ Episode 200 — Ambitious Mom Lessons Learned

Can you believe it, mama? We’ve hit 200 episodes! 🥳

When I launched the Mama Work It Podcast back in January 2021, I had no idea how many incredible conversations, lessons, and stories would unfold. Over nearly five years, I’ve had the honor of connecting with some truly inspiring guests—moms, experts, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders—who’ve all taught me something powerful about what it means to be an ambitious mom.

In this special milestone episode, I’m reflecting on 10 of the most impactful lessons I’ve learned from guests since day one. Whether you’ve been here since Episode 1 or just joined the community, these takeaways are golden reminders for every stage of motherhood, ambition, and life.

Being an ambitious mom means constantly learning, evolving, and showing up for yourself and your family. These lessons remind us that ambition and motherhood don’t compete—they complement each other beautifully.

Thank you for being part of 200 episodes, mama. Here’s to the next 200, filled with more wisdom, growth, and community. 💖

Living with chronic illness while raising kids and pursuing ambitious professional goals is no easy task. This week on the Mama Work It podcast, I’m joined by Julienne Verdi, Executive Director of the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy (AHDA) and The Headache Alliance, who is doing just that—and making history along the way.

Julienne’s path from law school to nonprofit leadership, policy change, and public office is nothing short of inspiring. She’s not only a powerful advocate for migraine awareness and patient rights but also a working mom of four, an LGBTQIA+ trailblazer, and a woman who knows firsthand what it means to juggle career, family, and chronic illness.

In this episode, Julienne and I dive into:
 ✨ Her journey from law, politics, and nonprofit consulting to national advocacy leadership
 ✨ How she manages parenting and professional goals while living with migraines—and supporting her son through his own migraine journey
 ✨ How her work contributed to the U.S. Department of Education recognizing migraine under Section 504, and what this policy shift means for kids and families
✨ Practical advice for moms (and anyone) navigating life and goals with migraines or other chronic health conditions

Whether you’re a parent balancing health challenges, a mom pursuing big dreams, or someone passionate about advocacy and leadership, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered and supported.

Mom Guilt. It’s the worst. Showing up in all different ways and messing up all the things you work so hard to do. We’ve talked about mom guilt before on the Mama Work It podcast, and-as much as I dislike this topic-it’s a necessary one to discuss again because it still keeps happening!

Today we’re unpacking the truth behind mom guilt so we can better understand that guilt and manage it effectively. I’m sharing a personal mom guilt story – that just happened to me – along with other examples where mom guilt may be showing up for you. Tune in to learn more about mom guilt so you can tune it out of your mom life. 

Here's what you’ll get out of today’s episode:

·              The breastfeeding saga and how mom guilt can affect so many moms from the get-go

·              Comparisonitis and how it grows mom guilt in places it doesn’t need to be

·              The movie that will make you realize that it’s better to laugh than cry about working mom life and mom guilt

What happens when you feel overwhelmed? You feel stuck. You feel fuzzy, unfocused, unsure. You start questioning everything. You can’t make a decision. You’re demotivated. You think to yourself, "There’s so much on this list. Why even bother? Doing one or two things isn’t going to make a dent." 

This week I'm sharing ways to beat overwhelm so you don't find yourself on this hamster wheel of feeling like you’re never making any progress, you’ve always got so much to do, or worse yet, you don’t even want to try because you’re so demotivated or paralyzed by it.

Here's what you'll get out of this week's episode:

• How to simply stop feeling overwhelmed when it creeps in
• A personal story about a time I felt overwhelmed
• Practical hacks for beating overwhelm when it shows it up
