Navigating Vulnerability: What to Share and When

Thursday, December 11, 2025 • Duration 27:51

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family.

In this episode, Dana breaks down the critical difference between sharing that builds your business and sharing that kills sales. She explores the concept of wounds versus scars—why sharing too soon can make customers back away, and how waiting for the lessons to crystallize creates content that converts. From her own experience with grief tanking her revenue to learning when vulnerability becomes a powerful teaching tool, Dana gives you the framework to know exactly what to share online and when to share it.

How to rewire your brain to achieve more and less time

Thursday, December 4, 2025 • Duration 50:14

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family.

In this episode, Dana sits down with Dr. Shannon Irvine to explore why your brain actively works against your business growth—and how to rewire it. From hitting invisible revenue ceilings to the "I'll just do it myself" trap that keeps mom entrepreneurs stuck, Shannon shares the neuroscience behind why all your strategies aren't working. She reveals how limiting beliefs programmed in childhood create subconscious patterns that sabotage success, and walks through her proven 67-day framework for building new neural pathways that make scaling, delegating, and wealth feel safe. You don't need more hustle or willpower—you need to understand how your brain works and intentionally rewire it for the success you're building.

The Internal Guidance System with Zen Cryar DeBrucke

Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 34:21

Here at BossMom, we know the best breakthroughs don't come from pretending everything's fine. They come when we're honest about the fear, the overwhelm, and the spirals of anxiety that so many of us carry while raising kids and building businesses.

In this episode, Dana sits down with Zen Cryar DeBrucke, creator of the Fear-Free Human Movement and founder of the Recreating You Game. Zen shares her work on the Internal Guidance System (IGS), a built-in compass we all have that helps us detect when our thoughts are leading us off track, and how to shift toward ones that open us up to alignment, peace, and possibility.

Together, they explore what it looks like to move past fear-based thinking, how to recognize the signals in your body that show you the truth, and why learning to pivot into "opening" thoughts can be the key to lasting emotional freedom.

If you've ever wondered how to stop the late-night worry spiral, how to respond to life's chaos with more clarity, or how to live and lead from a place of abundance instead of fear, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and ready to trust the guidance system you already carry inside.

The Key to Raising Connected, Confident & Considerate Children w/Brooke Romney

Thursday, November 30, 2023 • Duration 37:46

We want to raise emotionally intelligent, connected and kind children who will become awesome adults. We want them to build good relationships, ask good questions and understand the purpose behind everything they do.

Instead of resigning ourselves to kids just being kids, we can intentionally and proactively teach them what matters and stop reinforcing the wrong ideas.

How do we help our kids communicate, develop and grow? How do we teach them lessons that allow them to thrive well into adulthood?

In this episode, I'm joined by writer, speaker, online community leader, and author of "52 Modern Manners for Kids", Brooke Romney. She shares why she's passionate about helping children build better relationships, learn good manners and feel more connected.

Self-confidence doesn't come from a parent saying you're awesome 200 times a day. It comes from tackling hard tasks and feeling capable, and that's really important. -Brooke Romney

3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode

-Reinforcing the right ideas

How do we teach our kids to see the purpose behind activities when they aren't based on having fun?

-Forget "kids will be kids"

How do we raise our children to become awesome, aware and kind adults?

-Persistence and irrational value

There's no such thing as an overnight success. How did Brooke build her online community?

Gratitude Can Hurt You...Do This Instead

Wednesday, November 22, 2023 • Duration 07:57

Every time we tell someone to be grateful for something they find burdensome, frustrating and hard, all we do is create a bunch of guilt and resentment. There's something a lot better than gratitude - perspective.

What if instead of forcing gratitude, we admit that yes, this thing sucks, but we're doing it in service of a greater good or bigger goal? By allowing ourselves to shift perspective and not express gratitude for things we're not happy about, we're being honest with ourselves, and we move through it a lot easier.

In this episode, I talk about the danger of gratitude, and why perspective is way more effective.

You've got to decide the stuff you care about. That way, you can shift your perspective to why the hard things you're doing matter, then you can be grateful for the journey, even though the moments piss you off. -Dana Malstaff

3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode

-Your brain hates it when you're sneaky

Forcing yourself to be grateful for things you're not happy about backfires. What happens to our brains when we're not honest about something that sucks?

-Balancing things out

No one is grateful for allergies and other challenges. How can we use humor and perspective to deal with it?

-Don't deny what pisses you off

How do we find out what we care about so we know the hard things we have to do to get them?

It's All About Sleep! How to Kill Brain Fog & Feel Sharper by Changing One Thing w/Tanessa Shears

Thursday, November 16, 2023 • Duration 40:10

As business owners, our brains are our most valuable asset. When we're experiencing low energy, brain fog, feeling run-down and decisions feel hard, that's a sign that something's off. Very often, that thing is sleep.

In the realm of health, we tend to put our focus on food and exercise, but sleep is the foundation of it all. Sleep is free and we're already doing it, so why not make it better?

Moms and entrepreneurs often feel like we don't have enough time in our day for all the things. By getting good sleep, we can actually hack time. When we get our sleep dialed in, our brains move a lot faster, and we get more done in less time.

How do we improve our sleep quality? What are the benefits of good sleep? In this episode, health coach and consultant, Tanessa Shears shares why sleep is the key to feeling good in our bodies and our businesses.

Start with sleep - it's free and you're doing it already, so why not start by making the sleep you are getting better? -Tanessa Shears

Things You'll Learn in This Episode

-Denormalize your pain
Most of us wait for a catalyst to change our health. What are the signs we need to do things differently?

-REM sleep is entrepreneur's gold
Why is REM sleep so important to our creativity and problem-solving ability?

-Get more from your down-time, me-time, zone-out time
Instead of aimless (and often draining) scrolling, how do we recharge during our down-time?

You Don't Have to Be a Hot Mess Through Menopause w/Diesta Goldsmith

Thursday, November 9, 2023 • Duration 46:30

When people talk about menopause, it's all about hot flashes, night sweats, discomfort and misery. It is what it is, those are the cards we're dealt. Well, I refuse to live in an "it is what it is" world.

As women, we suffer unnecessarily because we try to power through menopause. When we get the help and solutions we need, menopause can be a powerful time of rebirth. Instead of normalizing discomfort, we can take action and experience that.

What are the key steps we can take to own menopause?

In this episode, menopause wellness coach, former body builder, fitness instructor, and software developer, Diesta Goldsmith shares how to navigate menopause without diminishing your quality of life.

You don't have to be a hot mess going through menopause. If you get the help you need, you can own it. -Diesta Goldsmith

3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode

-The lies we're told about aging

A lot of what we hear about menopause is nothing but gloom and doom. Why do we have to stop believing it has to be that way, and that there's nothing we can do about it?

-The building blocks of health and wellness in menopause

How do we get our sleep, nutrition, exercise and stress dialed in so we maintain our quality of life through this change?

-Don't go through it alone

Our lives are complex and sometimes overwhelming. How do we find the connection, community and accountability to support us through all the changes we're going through?

Self-Advocacy at Work: How to Speak Up For Yourself With Confidence & Finesse w/Natalie Serebrennik

Thursday, November 2, 2023 • Duration 38:45

Even though we've made massive progress, women still struggle with self-advocacy skills, especially true in the workplace. Communicating the right way, setting boundaries, and speaking up for ourselves benefits us but doing so with confidence and finesse often requires a little outside help.

How do we get the support we need so that we can have families, and still grow in our careers? How do we speak up when we find out we're not earning what we're worth?

In this episode, certified Career and Mindset coach, Natalie Serebrennik shares how we can advocate for ourselves at work, and we discuss why what she does is so important.

The moment you announce to your boss and team that you're pregnant, an invisible label gets put on you. -Natalie Serebrennik

When you're kicking butt at work, you worry about growth taking a pause when you start a family. Can you get your manager and team to help protect your job and avoid stalling?

-Save yourself years of slugging it out

Can we make navigating our careers easier by talking to someone who has been there, done that and learned the lessons already?

-How to tailor your dialogue to your goal

When we want to rectify not being paid our worth, storming in and pounding the table won't help. How can we advocate for ourselves in the right way?

How to Raise Intellectual, Curious and Witty Kids w/Eva Moskowitz

Thursday, October 26, 2023 • Duration 44:09

As parents, our goal is to raise kids we actually want to hang out with, but often traditional schooling doesn't encourage inquisitiveness, wit, play and creativity.

We can introduce these elements at home, and allow our kids to develop 360-degree, surround sound thinking. This will benefit them their whole lives, and it can all begin with a good board game. How do we raise intellectual children? How does play help in academic areas and vice versa?

In this episode, I'm joined by CEO of Success Academy Charter Schools, and author of "A+ PARENTING: THE SURPRISINGLY FUN GUIDE TO RAISING SURPRISINGLY SMART KIDS", Eva Moskowitz. She shares simple ways parents can impact how their kids think, and make it an enjoyable experience.

If you're raising intellectual children, parenting is so much more pleasurable. -Eva Moskowitz

3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode

Many parents are worried about the impact movies and shows can have on their kids, but can certain content actually be good for them?

-Create an intellectual moment and bonding opportunity

What's the difference between occupying our kids and engaging with them?

-How to model curiosity and inquisitiveness

Kids are actually interested in details and specialized knowledge. How do we share what we know with them?
