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.

Think AI is too complicated or “too techie” for you?

Think again, mama.

In this inspiring and practical episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon sits down with Marnie Wills—international athlete, multi-passionate entrepreneur, and AI trainer helping non-techie women and working moms simplify their lives using AI.

Once a total tech avoider, Marnie shares how one small experiment with AI completely changed everything—allowing her to scale her business, reclaim her evenings, and even exit a company she’d been running for years. Now, she teaches women how to use AI as a second brain, not another source of stress.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:
✔️ How Marnie went from “I’m not techie” to confident AI trainer.
✔️ Why AI isn’t about learning more—it’s about using it.
✔️ How to make AI fun, creative, and family-friendly (yes, even with your kids!).
✔️ Practical tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini—made simple.
✔️ How to use AI to lighten your mental load, get organized, and reclaim your peace.
✔️ Why curiosity (not perfection) is your greatest advantage in this next career era.

One of my favorite takeaways:

You’ll walk away with:
➡️ Simple ways to use AI as your second brain for work and home.
➡️ How to delegate tasks to AI to reduce mental fatigue.
➡️ Permission to stay curious instead of overwhelmed in the AI revolution.

This episode will help you see technology not as one more thing to manage—but as a tool to make your life easier, calmer, and more aligned with your strengths.

Are you stuck in the overwhelm loop?

You wake up already behind, overfunction all day, and collapse at night whispering, “Something has to change.”

Here’s the truth: overwhelm isn’t about your calendar—it’s about the silent expectations you’ve been carrying for far too long.

In this coaching-style episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon walks you through a powerful shift: how to break free from the cycle of overwhelm without burning it all down.

💥 You’ll learn:

• The 4-phase overwhelm loop that’s draining you.
• How your leadership style shapes your overwhelm—and how to shift it.
• Permission slips that interrupt burnout and rebuild your energy.
• A powerful reflection exercise to move from pressure to peace.

You’ll meet four working moms—each with a different style—and discover yourself in their stories. You’ll leave this episode not just seen, but equipped with tools to lighten the load now.

🎯 Action steps:

• Journal through Shannon’s 4 coaching prompts.
• Pick one “good enough” win this week.
• Post your permission slip where you’ll see it daily.

👯‍♀️ Share this with a fellow working mama stuck in survival mode—and remind her: she doesn’t have to do it all to be worthy.
