E26: Embracing Your Ambitions In and Out of Motherhood with Monique Volz of Ambitious Kitchen

We are so excited for you to listen to today's episode with Monique Volz, a corporate marketer turned blogger and cookbook author. Monique's goal is simply this: to inspire us all, both in and out of the kitchen - and she does that and then some.  Together we discuss how to confidently leave behind a "dream job" in order to ruthlessly pursue your dreams and Monique shares what began as a personal journey to share her favorite recipes while processing the loss of her father has blossomed into a multifaceted brand known for its innovative dishes, vibrant photography, and heartfelt storytelling. Beyond the kitchen, Monique is a fellow mama (three toddler boys!) and entrepreneur, balancing the demands of motherhood with the responsibilities of running a successful business.  Monique shares her personal practices for balancing the many demands of life while making time for herself, and she does it in the most authentic and approachable way. We close with a discussion on how she manages running successful businesses and raising three, energetic toddlers and it left each of us feeling so inspired.  This episode is filled with so many pearls of wisdom that we'll remember as we approach our own daily lives. We adore how honest and approachable Monique is, and how despite growing her team, still manages to stay close and connected to her community. If you're ready to sit down with three girlfriends and chat openly and honestly about all things ambition in motherhood, this is the episode for you.  Links: Monique's IG Monique's cookbook Monique's blog For more authentic and honest motherhood conversation, subscribe to Mighty as a Mother: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Podcasts | Google Podcasts Join in on the conversation and follow along with us on Instagram: ⁠@mightyasamotherpodcast⁠!
