See if this sounds familiar - you went to college for accounting, started an accounting career, and began your professional journey. Your days are filled with meetings, deadlines, and the satisfying sense of accomplishment that comes with excelling in your career.

Then, you become a mom. Suddenly, your world shifts on its axis. Your days are no longer solely yours to command.

They're now filled with diaper changes, midnight feedings, and the overwhelming responsibility of nurturing a tiny human being. Amidst the chaos of motherhood, you may find yourself struggling with a sense of loss – not just of sleep or free time, but of your pre-motherhood identity.

This is when an identity crisis can begin for many working moms. It’s when the roles of career woman and mother collide, leaving us to navigate conflicting expectations and self-doubt.

If you can relate, you're not alone.

This week on the CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss why we can go through an identity crisis after becoming a mom and what to do when you’re struggling.

How many times have you found yourself in the middle of a chaotic morning routine, juggling breakfast, backpacks, and briefcases, thinking, "It shouldn't be this difficult"?

Or maybe you've hit a snag at work, trying to meet a deadline while also coordinating pick-up times for soccer practice, and you're left wondering, "Why can't this be easier?"

I get it; I’ve definitely been there, and chances are, so have many of you. As working moms, we often carry this unspoken expectation that things should be smoother, simpler, and, well, just easier.

After all, isn’t that what we see on social media? The picture-perfect moms effortlessly managing their careers, their homes, and their sanity, all with a smile on their face and a latte in hand.

But let’s face it, that's not the reality for most of us.

This week on the CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss why we think it should be easier, and how to embrace the hard and change our perspective.

How many times have you wanted something – whether it's advancing in your career, finding more time for self-care, or achieving a better work-life balance – but never quite followed through?

Wanting is easy. It's passive, comfortable, and safe. But it doesn't lead to results. It just leaves us stuck in a cycle of longing for something that never materializes.

Committing, on the other hand, is where the magic happens. When you make a true commitment to something, you become laser-focused on the result you want to achieve.

You take action, you overcome obstacles, and you keep pushing forward until you reach your goal. Committing is active, it's solution-focused, and, most importantly, it creates results.

So, how do we go from merely wanting something to fully committing to making it happen?

This week on the CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss understanding wanting versus committing and the 5 steps to make a commitment.
