How to Find the Courage to Change Your Mind About Work & Motherhood

Hey friend—this week is our first topic episode! We’re talking about the courage to change your mind about work and motherhood, how to tell intuition from anxiety, and why giving yourself room to pivot is a gift to you and the people around you.Along the way, we detour into finding ways to engage in your own hobbies as a mom, color analysis (because yes, your cherry red can make you feel instantly more “put together”), and a mindset shift that beats the Saturday “mom guilt” spiral.In This Episode* Change your mind without the shame spiral. “This is the best decision for our family right now” can be true today—and different next season.* Intuition vs. anxiety. A simple check to spot the difference and choose your next right step.* Scarcity → abundance. Borrowing from Carol Dweck’s Mindset, we reframe Saturdays (and mom life) away from “I must make every minute perfect” to “I’m grateful for this day—and there are many more to come.”* Work, identity, and wholeness. It’s not either/or. You’re allowed to design a life that makes you feel more whole.* Friendly heads-up. If Meredith sounds a tad like a robot this week, forgive her—she was in Hawaii on a hotspot (dreamy backdrop, crunchy Wi-Fi). And yes, Meredith still isn’t on social media.
