As the holidays ramp up and the end of the year approaches, it can feel like working mom life turns into an endurance sport. In this short, timely episode, learn five practical "endurance tips" to help you finish the year with energy left in the tank.

 

Recorded in the middle of snow days, schedule chaos, and all the extra demands that come with December, this episode is designed to meet you where you are—busy, stretched, and doing your best. Instead of focusing on survival, Katelyn invites you to think like an endurance athlete: managing your energy, protecting your bandwidth, and crossing into the new year with a little life left in your battery.

 

You'll hear simple, realistic strategies you can start using today, including:

• A mindset shift that helps you decide what's actually worth doing each day

 

• Permission to let some things wait until January (yes, really)

 

• Why sneaking away for a few minutes can completely change your energy

 

• A powerful end-of-day practice to quiet the "never enough" feeling

 

• What to do to calm your nervous system and recharge

 

Take this episode on a walk, on your commute, or while wrapping gifts or baking cookies and change how you show up during one of the most demanding times of the year for working moms.

From overnight wake-ups and packing lunches to changing careers and finding energy, Megan and I cover a LOT in this episode. I'm joined by sister-in-law for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what full-time work actually looks like with three young kids at home.

 

We talk candidly about the seasons of motherhood that stretch your capacity, force you to lower expectations, and ultimately show you just how capable you really are.

 

You'll hear real stories from daily life as a working mom, including:

 

• What a typical workday looks like with three kids five and under

 

• How she manages early mornings, daycare drop-offs, and tight schedules

 

• The reality of pumping at work and trying to protect that time

 

• How she thinks about sleep, exhaustion, and managing expectations when nights are broken

 

• The logistics of packing all the food for daycare—and the simple systems that make it doable

 

• Why repetition can be a gift for both kids and parents

 

If you're a working mom juggling young kids, feeling stretched thin, or wondering if now is really the right time to make a change, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone—and that your capacity is likely greater than you think.

If you've ever tried to build a consistent exercise routine while juggling work, kids, meetings, meals, and the everyday chaos of family life, you're going to want to listen to this episode.

 

Today I'm talking with Allison, and she shares the real (not Instagram-perfect) story of how she slowly built a morning workout habit—one that has broken down, disappeared, and been rebuilt more than once over the years.

 

We talk honestly about seasons when everything falls apart: the years with toddlers, job changes, unpredictable schedules, and the weeks when you're just too tired to do anything more than survive. And we also dive into what helped her find her way back to movement each time, even when she felt like she was starting from zero.

 

In this conversation, you'll hear:

• How Allison created a morning routine that actually fits her real life, not an idealized version of it.

 

• Why her first attempt at a workout routine completely collapsed—and what helped her rebuild.

 

• How she and her husband communicate about their schedules so both people get time for exercise, rest, and parenting breaks.

 

• What it looks like to recommit to yourself in the middle of a busy season, without guilt or judgment.

 

If you're craving more energy, more consistency, or simply permission to start small, you'll love this episode. It's full of practical ideas, gentle encouragement, and the reminder that caring for your body is not another item on your to-do list—it's something that can actually make your life feel easier.

And if this episode made you rethink about how you balance work and life as a working mom, send it to a friend!

 

In this week's episode, Katelyn sits down with photographer, mom of two, and natural community-builder Brooke, for a heartfelt conversation about what it really looks like to work, parent, and stay connected through every season of working motherhood.

 

Brooke shares honestly about navigating a career with fluctuating busy seasons, balancing weekend work with family life, and communicating needs at home—especially during intense work seasons. She talks about how she and her husband have learned to share responsibilities, let go of perfection, and trust each other's way of doing things.

 

But what really makes this conversation special is Brooke's other superpower: creating community. Whether she's organizing a fall hangout, sending the cutest invite, or simply texting friends to join her for a walk, Brooke shows how building friendships doesn't have to be elaborate (unless you want it to be)—it can be simple, intentional, and doable for even the busiest working mom.

 

If you're a working mom trying to build a village, wanting fresh ideas for friendship, or simply trying to manage life during your own busy season, this conversation will give you so many ideas, big and small.

If you've ever felt the weight of caring for everyone—your team, your patients, your kids, your household—this conversation is for you.

 

In this week's episode, I sit down with my friend Elise, a full-time physician, mom of two, whose workdays and home life both revolve around caregiving in different, equally demanding ways. Elise shares what it's really like to spend your day caring for patients and then come home to the second shift of caring for your family—and how she tries to stay grounded through it all.

 

We talk about:

 

• the emotional load of being a caregiver in your career and at home,

 

• how she "shifts gears" between those two versions of herself,

 

• the compressed 5–8 p.m. window that can feel like a sprint,

 

• the boundaries that help her leave work at work (most days),

 

• and how she stays connected to her husband despite two very demanding careers.

 

Elise also gets honest about dinner stress, finding time for herself, and what she's learning about letting go of perfection in favor of what actually works. It's warm, real, and full of those "oh good, it's not just me" moments we all need.

In this conversation with my friend and neighbor, Lauren, we talk about something so many working moms wrestle with: the pressure to do it all. We get honest about what it looks like to set boundaries in your real life, how we decide what we're not doing, how we protect our time, and how we lean on each other and our support systems to make work and family life sustainable.

 

If you've been feeling stretched thin, or like you're carrying more than you actually want to be carrying, this episode is a reminder that you get to choose. You're allowed to say no. And you're allowed to create a life that has room for you in it.

 

Listen in for practical examples, real-world conversation, and permission to take something off your plate.

In this episode, I'm joined by a Beyond Balance client who's a toddler mom and co-owns an architecture firm with her husband. She shares what it's really like to juggle parenting, partnership, and running a business—and the moment she realized that constant stress and exhaustion didn't have to be her default.

 

We talk about the myth of "being organized" and how her endless to-do lists were actually fueling her overwhelm. She shares how she learned to prioritize with intention, navigate sick days without spiraling, and reframe her work hours as a choice, not a burden.

 

She also opens up about her hesitation to join a group program and how, instead of getting lost in the crowd, she found herself getting double the coaching—learning from others' questions and applying those insights to her own life.

 

If you've ever wondered, "Is this just how it is?" this conversation will show you that it doesn't have to be.

In this episode, we're talking about the real-life logistics of being a working mom who travels — and how communication and help make it all possible.

 

My former manager, who showed me the ropes when it comes to work travel, shares how her career has taken her on the road for years, and what she's learned about staying connected with her family while she's away. From managing calendars to planning ahead (and letting go of perfection), we dive into what it really takes to leave your family.

 

We also talk about how asking for help isn't a weakness — it's a strategy. Whether it's coordinating with your partner, leaning on friends, or being upfront with your employer, clear communication and support are what keep things running smoothly.

 

If you've ever packed a suitcase while double-checking the school lunch menu, this episode will remind you that you're not alone — and that there's no one right way to make it all work.

Have you ever looked at another working mom's schedule and wondered how they do it? In this episode, my dear friend and college roommate Rachel joins me to talk about what life looks like 16 years into running her own independent piano studio while raising two daughters and managing a nontraditional work schedule that flips the typical 9-5 on its head.   We talk about:

• What a "typical" day looks like when your workday starts at 3 p.m.

 

• How she manages her studio, family, and home life (and what her students think she does "all day")

 

• Setting boundaries when you're self-employed and work from home

 

• Sharing calendars, coordinating schedules, and staying connected as a family

 

• The trade-offs and freedoms that come with unconventional work hours

 

• Reconnecting with reading, creativity, and hobbies as your kids grow

 

Whether you're a working mom with a flexible schedule, a creative entrepreneur, or simply curious about how other families make it all work, this conversation will have something for you.   Tune in for real talk about work, family, music, and the balancing act so many of us are navigating — with a little nostalgia and laughter sprinkled in

Welcome to Season 2 where I'm sitting down with everyday working moms to ask them how they do it! We're pulling back the curtain on morning routines, work responsibilities, getting help, sharing the mental load, and so much more.

 

In this conversation, I sit down with my former manager and friend, Amanda Davis, to talk about the real-life juggle of growing a career while raising a family. Amanda is a mom of four (including twins!) and currently leads a sales team. We reminisce about our early days working together in tech—navigating mergers and maternity leaves—and then dive into what life looks like for her now.

 

Amanda shares how she and her husband encourage independence with their kids, the lessons she's learned from taking big career and business risks, and how she makes time for both her professional ambitions and personal passions. We also talk openly about asking for help, leaning on community, and giving yourself permission to pivot when a job no longer fits your season of life.

 

If you've ever wondered how another working mom manages the chaos of school mornings, sports schedules, and career transitions, this episode is for you.

As we step into the final stretch of the year, it's easy to feel the pressure of a full calendar, holiday planning, and unfinished goals. In this episode, I'm sharing why the start of Q4 can feel like sitting at the top of a rollercoaster—and how you can take back control before the ride speeds up. You'll learn simple ways to set intentions, plan ahead, and create a season you'll actually enjoy (without the stress and burnout).

In this episode, Katelyn shares a simple approach to categorizing your list, so it becomes a practical tool instead of an overwhelming reminder of everything on your plate. You'll learn how to sort tasks by roles, responsibilities, and timing, so you can move from a brain dumped list to daily action with clarity and confidence.

As a working mom, you know what it's like to have a "hard stop" — whether it's pumping breaks, daycare pickup, or shutting the laptop by 5 to start the dinner and bedtime routine. But what happens when work doesn't respect those boundaries? In this episode, we'll talk about how to confidently hold your hard stop without guilt, what to say when a manager or colleague pushes back, and how to feel confident that you're still doing enough. If you've ever worried about being seen as "less committed" because you have to leave on time, this episode will remind you that boundaries are not only important, but they're also a form of leadership.

In this episode, I'm joined by Daria, a neonatologist, researcher, and mom of three, who shares what it's really like to juggle two demanding roles at work while raising a young family. We talk about the mental load of switching between high-intensity clinical care and long-term research projects, and how she used the Beyond Balance framework to find motivation, create better boundaries, and feel more present with her kids.

 

Daria opens up about the emotional toll of her work, the surprising flexibility of her research role, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop feeling like she was constantly behind. We also talk about the moment she realized she didn't need more time with her kids—she just needed to see the time she already had differently. From folding laundry on the bathroom floor to doing yoga with her toddler, Daria found ways to create connection in the middle of everyday life.

When Molly joined Beyond Balance, she already felt pretty on top of her time—organized, methodical, and definitely not in crisis mode. But a few small shifts have made her days feel even better. In this episode, you'll hear how she went from rigid schedules and list overload to a more flexible approach with "snack-sized" to-dos and energy cycle planning. She's even learned to embrace interruptible tasks and can get a project started, even if she only has five minutes. If you've ever wondered how to make a good system even better, you'll want to hear Molly's story.

If you've ever thought - "there's no way I can do that with everything I have going on" - you're going to want to listen to this episode. I'm joined by my Beyond Balance client Ashley — a working mom of two young kids who shares her journey of setting and actually achieving her goals by meeting herself where she is.

 

We talk about how she finally started strength training after months of "thinking about it," how a simple calendar shift helps her get more done, and how she's now making space not just for workouts, but for hobbies, community, and even planning her first solo trip in years.

 

This one's an honest, encouraging reminder that progress is possible — even in the busiest season of motherhood.

Feeling scattered, behind, and short on time? What if the fix is so much simpler than you think?

But what if simple is actually the secret to being consistent?

And even when life feels uncertain or chaotic and you might be inclined to stick with the status quo, change can actually make life easier.

In this first episode of the Ready or Not mini-series, Katelyn tackles the question so many of us ask when we're considering change: Is it the right time? Whether you're thinking about a new job, tweaking a routine, or making time for something new, the timing rarely feels right. She explains why your brain resists change, even when it's for the better—and how waiting for the "perfect time" might keep you stuck, and why small steps matter—especially in busy seasons. Plus, hear how her backyard garden became a powerful reminder that starting now is almost always worth it.

This is your permission slip to do a little less. If you've ever felt like you're giving everything you have—and then some—it's time to explore a radical but freeing idea: What if your 70% effort is the equivalent of everyone else's 100%?

 

In this episode we're exploring what it means to show up, deliver, and lead as a high-achieving woman—especially when you're balancing work and motherhood. It isn't about lowering your standards or being out of integrity; it's about recognizing your value, impact, and capacity, even when you're not operating at full throttle.

 

You'll walk away with:

 

• A new way to think about effort vs. impact

 

• A practical mindset shift that could help you reclaim time and energy

 

• Validation that you are already doing enough—and more

 

 

If you're craving a healthier work-life balance and a career that supports your life (not the other way around), press play.

If your inbox feels like one more thing on your already overloaded to-do list, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm talking about the tense topic of email management. What started as a personal experiment to escape inbox overwhelm turned into a game-changing system that's simple, sustainable, and built for real life.

 

Whether you're juggling work emails, school sign-ups, mychart notifications, or just trying not to miss something important, this episode offers a refreshing, realistic approach to getting your inbox under control—without the pressure of perfection.

 

You'll learn:

 

• Why sorting and processing email are two very different tasks (and how separating them saves time)

 

• The 4-folder system that simplifies everything

 

• How to stop letting your inbox dictate your to-do list

 

• Why decluttering your digital space can actually feel cathartic

 

 

This is for the working mom who wants less stress, fewer missed communications, and more peace of mind. Tune in and give your inbox a reset!

In this heartfelt episode, my client Lisa shares her remarkable transformation going from feeling like "a robot" juggling work and childcare to becoming someone who reads 100 books a year, trains for races, and even writes for fun—all while excelling in her nonprofit career and raising two young kids.

 

 

When Lisa first joined Beyond Balance in 2022, she was drowning in the demands of a new job, new city, and parenting a baby. Fast forward to today, and despite adding another child to the mix, she's found ways to reclaim her identity beyond being just "mom" or "employee."

 

 

Lisa reveals the practical strategies that changed everything:

✔️ simplified decision-making

✔️ flexible planning systems

✔️ the powerful mindset shift of envisioning how she wants her children to remember her

 

 

Her journey proves that even in the busiest seasons of parenting, it's possible to rediscover yourself. Whether you're in the thick of newborn life or wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again, this episode offers hope and actionable ideas for any working mom who dreams of having time for herself.
