441: How to Hold Both Motherhood *and* A...

Monica Yates
About this episode

The complexities of balancing ambition and motherhood… a hot topic in today’s world!

 

There’s still this unspoken fear (and guilt) that you have to choose between business and babies, the mission and motherhood, the million-dollar months and the slow mornings snuggled up with your babies.

 

In this conversation, Monica, joined by Cait Scudder from The Millionaire Mother, goes deep on what it actually looks like to hold both: being a present mother AND a successful CEO.

 

Inside the conversation:

💸 Navigating through identity shifts when your ambition meets motherhood

💸 How to stop fearing change when it's actually leading you to your most aligned self

💸 One thing so many ambitious women still struggle to let themselves receive

💸 Why limitations don’t mean less success—they just call for more creativity

💸 What makes some women fall into martyr-mode AND how to stop that spiral before it starts

💸 How to stop trying to fit into the “right” camp of motherhood and find what works for you
