Working Moms Redefined

This week on Working Moms Redefined, Denise walks you through The Ultimate Christmas Checklist for Working Moms- a simple, joy-filled guide designed to help you create meaningful memories without adding more to your plate in the busiest season of the year. Instead of trying to do everything, Denise shares how to choose the traditions that matter most: mailing letters to Santa, driving around to see Christmas lights, letting kids pick out ornaments that reflect who they are right now, sibling gift exchanges, Christmas movie nights, cut-out cookies, and more. She even dives into the magic-makers- letters from Santa, footprints by the fireplace and why it’s totally OK if the Elf on the Shelf never shows up at your house. But more than that, this episode reframes Christmas for working moms. It’s a reminder that your kids don’t need a perfect season, they need you. They need presence, not pressure. Connection, not comparison. Denise also shares the leadership lessons woven into this season: how modeling joy, flexibility, and intention shapes your home and teaches your kids what truly matters. You’ll leave this episode feeling lighter, inspired, and clear on how to create a Christmas that’s both memorable and manageable- a season rooted in joy, connection, and grace.

The holidays are supposed to be joyful—but for many working moms, they can feel like a juggling act of stress, sugar, and self-criticism. In this episode, Denise sits down with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, a triple board-certified physician in internal, lifestyle, and obesity medicine, to talk about what it really means to stay healthy—physically and mentally—through the busiest season of the year. Dr. Garcia-Webb works with high-achieving professionals who want to feel their best without falling into guilt, perfectionism, or unrealistic wellness expectations. Together, she and Denise unpack how to navigate food freedom during the holidays, manage comparison and stress, and create healthy rhythms that actually fit your life—not the other way around. Whether you’re trying to balance holiday parties with real rest or simply want to ditch the “detox” mindset, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, grounded, and equipped to redefine health on your own terms this season.

In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, I’m joined by Courtney Cecil, CEO, founder of the Working Moms Movement, mom of two, and a woman on a mission to help moms reclaim their time, energy, and identity. After walking through burnout, overwhelm, and the pressure to “do it all,” Courtney built an entire movement to reshape how women think about balance. Today, she shares what work-life balance actually looks like for modern mothers, the most common mistakes we make, and how to build schedules that support our family’s natural rhythm instead of someone else’s version of success. We talk about mom guilt, perfectionism, and the quiet pressure to measure ourselves against curated motherhood online- and the mindset shifts that bring peace back into the picture. Courtney offers practical tools to reduce overwhelm, set boundaries without guilt, decide what gets your yes (and your no), and take back control of your calendar before it takes control of you. If you’re tired, stretched thin, or craving more clarity and calm in your days, this conversation will remind you that balance isn’t a fantasy- it’s a set of small, intentional choices that you’re absolutely capable of making. This episode will leave you feeling lighter, supported, and empowered to redefine what success looks like for you, right where you are.

Let’s be honest- sometimes gratitude feels hard. Between the morning chaos, reheated coffee, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s easy to miss the small, sacred moments that make our days meaningful. In this episode, Denise shares what fun little things keep her gracious and not anxious. From the comfort of a warm mug (even if it’s been microwaved twice) to the laughter that follows a day gone completely sideways, this is a reminder that gratitude doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. It’s found in the real, messy, beautiful moments of everyday life. Tune in, smile a little, and remember: how we view things is how we do things.

Parenting is beautiful and hard. Yes, both can exist at the same time. And as a mom, I’m all about learning from those who have walked the path ahead with grace and grit. Today’s guest, Heidi Allsop, knows that road well. She’s a certified life coach, social worker, and mom of five sons who has successfully navigated the teenage years five times over. As the host of the Raising Boys, Building Men podcast, Heidi helps moms of boys stop arguing and start connecting so they can enjoy meaningful conversations, restore trust, and parent with confidence. With a blend of professional expertise and real-life experience, she brings simple, high-impact strategies that work in real family life with no extra overwhelm required. In today’s episode, we’re diving into what it means to parent with the end in mind, raising teenage boys into capable, confident men, moving from power struggles to partnership, and building grit, confidence, and heart.
