227: Motherhood & the Ambitious Woman: Holding Both Without Losing Yourself

227: Motherhood & the Ambitious Woman: Holding Both Without Losing Yourself

This week on The Found Podcast, we're continuing our November series on family — and we're going right into the tender middle: motherhood.

Because motherhood changes everything.


Your time. Your nervous system. Your calendar. Your priorities. Your sense of self.


And if you're an ambitious woman on top of that? It changes the way you define success, too.

In this solo episode, I talk honestly about what it looks like to be a mom who loves her kids deeply and a woman who has dreams, goals, clients, and callings. We'll name the myths, talk about the invisible labor, and tell the truth about "balance" (spoiler: it's more recalibration than perfection).

You'll hear:

  • why you don't have to choose between being a "good mom" and a "good business woman"

  • the emotional load and backward-planned days no one sees

  • how ambition can actually make us better mothers

  • questions I ask myself when I'm doing too much: What am I trying to prove? To whom? Does it even matter?

  • a different way to measure motherhood — not by output, but by alignment

This one's for the mom with toddlers on the floor, the mom of teens in 47 activities, the mom navigating IVF, the mom with grown kids… and the woman who still wants something for herself.
