    339. How Busy Working Moms Can Build Strong Friendships (Without Adding More to Their Plate)

    21/07/2026 | 10 mins.
    Hi Mamas,

    Have you ever found yourself saying...

    "We should definitely get together sometime!"

    ...and then months go by?

    You're not alone.

    As working moms, we're balancing careers, parenting, marriages, household responsibilities, and everything in between. Friendships often fall to the bottom of the list—not because they aren't important, but because we're convinced we'll make time for them later.

    In today's episode, Kerri shares personal stories about reconnecting over coffee, spontaneous girls' nights, and how those small moments of connection became exactly what she needed during one of the busiest seasons of her life.

    She also shares practical, realistic ways to build friendships that actually fit into your life right now.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    Why making friends gets harder as we get older

    The mindset shift every busy mom needs about adult friendships

    How to build friendships without adding more to your calendar

    Why small moments of connection matter more than big plans

    Simple ways to meet new people in places you're already going

    How to overcome social anxiety or introversion when making friends

    Why being the one who reaches out can change everything

    How your "village" helps you become a better mom, wife, and professional

    Friendships aren't built because we suddenly have more time. They're built because we decide the people are worth making time for.

    338. Working Mom Mindset: The Quality Of Your Life Is the Quality Of Your Relationnships

    20/07/2026 | 5 mins.
    Hi Mamas, 

    Do you ever find yourself saying... 

    "I'd love to spend more time with my friends... when life slows down." 

    As busy working moms, we're constantly juggling work, kids, marriage, household responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. It's easy to believe we'll invest in our relationships once we have more free time. 

    But what if stronger relationships aren't built because we suddenly have more time? 

    What if they're built because we intentionally make time for the people who matter most? 

    In this week's Monday Mindset, we're shifting the way we think about connection and reminding ourselves that even the smallest moments—a quick text, a phone call, a walk, or an hour over coffee—can strengthen the relationships that make life richer. 

    In this episode you'll discover: 

    ❤️ Why waiting for life to "slow down" usually doesn't work 

    ❤️ How small moments create meaningful relationships 

    ❤️ Why intentional connection matters more than having extra time 

    ❤️ This week's simple challenge to strengthen one relationship 

    If this episode encouraged you, share it with another working mom who could use the reminder. 

    And be sure to come back tomorrow as we continue this conversation with practical tips on how to make and maintain friendships as a busy working mom—even when you feel like you have no time. 

    💛 This Week's Challenge 

    Reach out to one person this week. 

    Send the text. 

    Make the call. 

    Plan the coffee date. 

    Schedule the walk. 

    Invite another couple over for dinner. 

    Or simply reconnect with someone you've been thinking about. 

    Because life is busy. 

    It always will be. 

    But the people we love deserve more than whatever time happens to be left over.

    337. How to Stop Letting One Bad Moment Ruin Your Whole Day

    14/07/2026 | 14 mins.
    Hi Mamas, 

    Have you ever had an entire day ruined because one thing didn't go according to plan? 

    Maybe your workday blew up before lunch. 
    Your kids started arguing before you'd even had your coffee. 
    Dinner burned. 
    Your vacation started with mosquito bites instead of beach chairs. 

    As working moms, we spend so much time planning our lives that we often forget one important truth... 

    Life rarely goes exactly as planned. 

    In today's episode, I'm sharing the story of my recent mother-daughter trip to the Dominican Republic with Ashley before she heads off to college. We had beautiful moments, unexpected challenges, and plenty of reminders that perfection isn't what creates our favorite memories. 

    I'll also share five simple mindset shifts that have helped me stop letting one frustrating moment steal an entire day. 

    In this episode we'll talk about: 

    ✔️ Why one bad moment doesn't have to ruin your entire day 

    ✔️ How unrealistic expectations create unnecessary stress 

    ✔️ The simple question to ask yourself when life throws you a curveball 

    ✔️ Why flexibility creates more peace than perfection 

    ✔️ How to focus on the memories that matter most 

    If you're a busy working mom who wants to stop chasing perfect days and start enjoying the life that's happening right in front of you, this episode is for you.

    336. Working Mom Mindset: Every Day Holds A Blessing... Even The Bad Ones

    13/07/2026 | 5 mins.
    Hi Mamas, 

    Have you ever reached the end of the day feeling like everything went wrong? 

    As busy working moms, it's easy to let one stressful meeting, one parenting challenge, or one unexpected inconvenience define our entire day. But what if we intentionally chose to focus on what went right instead? 

    In this week's Monday Mindset episode, I'm sharing a simple quote that's been on my heart lately: 

    "Every day holds a blessing. Don't let one hard moment make you miss it." 

    We'll talk about why our minds naturally focus on the negative, how practicing gratitude can completely shift our perspective, and one simple habit you can start today to help you notice the blessings that are already all around you. 

    In this episode, we'll discuss: 

    Why one difficult moment shouldn't define your entire day 

    How gratitude helps reduce stress and shift your mindset 

    Why every day can be both hard and beautiful at the same time 

    A simple question to ask yourself every evening 

    This week's Monday Mindset Challenge 

    This Week's Challenge 

    Before you go to bed each night this week, ask yourself: 

    "What was today's blessing?" 

    It doesn't have to be something big. 

    Maybe it was your morning coffee. 
    A kind word from a friend. 
    A hug from your child. 
    A productive meeting. 
    A quiet moment to yourself. 

    Train your mind to notice what's good, even on the hard days. 

    ✨ If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with another working mom who could use the reminder. 

    And don't forget to come back tomorrow for Part 2, where I'll share a personal story that brought this lesson to life in a way I wasn't expecting.

    335. The Missing Piece in My Time Management Journey & It Wasn't Another Productivity Hack

    07/07/2026 | 14 mins.
    Hi Mamas, 

    For years, I've taught the famous rocks, pebbles, and sand time management analogy. 

    Put the big rocks in first. 

    Then everything else fits around them. 

    But during a recent Sunday homily, I heard one sentence that completely changed the way I've thought about that lesson for years: 

    "The first big rock should be God." 

    That simple statement connected a puzzle piece I didn't even realize was missing. 

    In this episode, I'm sharing: 

    Why this episode almost became a Monday Mindset  

    The story that started with my college dorm assignment and reminded me to trust God's plan  

    My personal Sunday mantra: 
    "If I make time for God, God will make time for me."  

    How that mindset has changed my relationship with time  

    Why boundaries have become easier  

    Why I no longer believe everything depends on me  

    What faith looks like in our family  

    Why I believe faith is lived every day—not just inside a church building  

    The difference between being responsible... and believing you're responsible for everything  

    This is one of the most personal episodes I've ever shared, and my hope is simply that it encourages you to slow down, breathe, and remember that peace isn't found in doing more—it's found in letting go of what you were never meant to carry. 

    In This Episode We Cover 

    ✨ Why your to-do list isn't always the problem 

    ✨ The rocks, pebbles, and sand lesson that changed my perspective 

    ✨ How faith has influenced my time management journey 

    ✨ Why boundaries become easier when you stop trying to control everything 

    ✨ The difference between productivity and peace 

    ✨ Trusting the process when life doesn't go according to plan 

    ✨ Modeling faith instead of forcing it 

    ✨ Finding peace in busy seasons
