Episode 44: From Overwhelmed to In Control: A New Movement to Work, Mother, and Live with Courtney Cecil
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.

Episode 43: Finding Gratitude in the Chaos: The Everyday Moments That Make Us Smile with Denise
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.

Episode 41: No Time for Me? Why Hobbies Matter for Working Moms (and Dads Too) with Author AJ Simmons
So many working moms (and dads) feel like hobbies are a luxury they don’t have time for. In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down for a fun and honest conversation with author AJ Simmons about why carving out “me time” isn’t selfish, it’s essential. Through lighthearted icebreakers (like hobbies gone hilariously wrong and dream passions we’d turn into full-time jobs) to deeper reflections on parenting, stress relief, and balance, this episode explores how hobbies can make moms more present, energized, and connected at home and work. You’ll hear a partner’s perspective on what men often miss about the mental load moms carry, why “micro-hobbies” can matter just as much as big ones, and how dads can support moms in reclaiming time for joy and creativity. We wrap up with fun takes on hobby trends, couple connections, and the dream hobbies we imagine when the kids are grown. If you’ve ever thought, “I literally don’t have five minutes for myself,” this conversation will inspire you to see hobbies differently- as fuel, not fluff.
