Ambitious Moms, Silent Burnout, and the Power of Intentional Living

In this episode of to Founders, Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Linda Bartholme, founder of Be Thriving Moms Today, to explore her journey from educator to transformational coach for ambitious mothers. Linda shares the deeply personal experiences that inspired her work — from navigating pregnancy and illness while caring for her family to supporting a child through time in the NICU — and how intentional habits, mindset tools, and self-compassion helped her show up as the best version of herself during life’s most challenging moments.Linda explains how Be Thriving Moms Today supports midlife mothers who appear successful on the outside but feel drained, disconnected, or unfulfilled internally. She discusses her evolving ideal client, the importance of alignment beyond motherhood, and the courage it takes to pursue purpose despite self-doubt, societal expectations, and limited support. The conversation also touches on entrepreneurship, patience, resilience, and why acting before you feel ready is often the key to meaningful growth and long-term fulfillment
