Do you ever hear, “Mom, are you coming to my game?” and feel that pit in your stomach because you honestly don’t know?

If you’re lying awake wondering whether your kids are getting your leftovers, this episode is for you. You’re not bad at time management, mama—it’s that the way your career is structured is leaving no space for what matters most.

In this coaching-style episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon breaks down simple career shifts that help you be present at work and at home—without burning it all down.

Inside you’ll learn:
✅ Why family time gets squeezed (the big 3: over-commitment, blurry boundaries, financial fear)
✅ Shift #1: Boundaries that actually stick (scripts you can borrow + one line to draw this week)
✅ Shift #2: Delegation at work & home (how to hand things off without guilt)
✅ Shift #3: Alignment (when the role itself needs to change—and how to do it wisely)
✅ How family time fuels better leadership (and what that looks like for each style: Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac)

Mini Coaching Prompts:
➡️ Every yes at work is an invisible no at home—where do you need a different answer this week?
➡️ Where are your boundaries blurry (physically present, mentally at work)?
➡️ If money weren’t the issue, what shift would you make tomorrow to reclaim family time?
➡️ What does alignment look like in this season (not forever, just now)?

Try this week:
• Pick one: draw a boundary, delegate one task, or take one step toward alignment.
• Use this script: “I reserve evenings for family and will handle this first thing tomorrow.”
• Notice the relief + presence it creates at dinner, bedtime, or on the sidelines.

✨ Bottom line: You don’t have to choose between career and family. Choose better, not more—and let both win.
