Episode 9: Dreams Don’t End at Motherhood: Ignite Your Dreams, Drop People-Pleasing, and Be More Than Mom with Dr. Emily Jacobs Jacobs

  Ever felt like your dreams ended the day you became a mom? That the version of “you” before motherhood somehow got lost in the carpool line, dishes, and late-night feedings? You’re not alone—and this conversation proves it.   In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Emily Jacobs—wife, mom of two, advanced practice nurse, leadership coach, author, and founder of Empowered Moms, a community where dreams don’t end at motherhood. She’s also the creator of the More Than Mom Mentorship Program, which helps women rediscover who they are beyond the roles they play, gain fresh perspective into their dreams and provides powerful support through community.   We dig deep into: The myth that motherhood means losing yourself—and how God never designed it that way. How to recognize when “busy” becomes a distraction to your purpose. The people-pleasing truth- when kindness is actually keeping you stuck. The power of investing in yourself without guilt. How to reclaim your dreams while keeping your family and faith first.   Emily shares how Empowered Moms was born out of her own struggle with identity after having kids, and how one simple act of courage—putting down a deposit for her first event—turned into a thriving movement helping women rise in leadership and purpose. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s a reminder that you can be a devoted mom and still chase the dreams God placed in your heart.   ✨ If this message spoke to you, go leave a review and be sure to follow Dr. Emily on her socials—and check out her program, More Than Mom, before doors close!   👩‍⚕️ Follow Dr. Emily Jacobs Instagram: @dremilyjacobs More Than Mom Mentorship Program: empoweredmoms.co/morethanmom/morethanmominfo   📲 Connect with me: Instagram: @thetheresatodd Facebook: @thetheresatodd Website: www.thetheresatodd.com
