Ambitious Moms: What You Can Control, Influence, and Let Go

Ambitious Moms: What You Can Control, Influence, and Let Go

As ambitious moms, it’s easy to waste precious energy on things we can’t control — from workplace bias to family chaos to societal expectations. In this episode of the Bodyful Minds Podcast, I introduce Stephen Covey’s model of control, influence, and concern — and adapt it to the realities of motherhood and career. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between what you can control (your grounding, your body, your choices), what you can influence (family routines, boundaries, conversations at work), and what you can’t control (systemic odds stacked against mothers). I’ll share relatable real-life examples and practical tools to help you reduce guilt, protect your energy, and focus on what truly matters. This is the third part of a 3-episode mini-series — tying it all together so you feel more grounded and empowered at work and at home.

If you haven't done so yet, tune in to the previous two episodes (or more if you like 🙃):
