Descripción

Send Shannon A Note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2224026/fan_mail/new] What do you do when your job is making you miserable, your gut is screaming, and you have no backup plan? If you're Kimberly Scanlon, you quit. You take six months off to recover your nervous system. And then you take a part time job at a hair salon and you don't look back. This week I'm sitting down with my friend and Minnesota mom of two Kimberly Scanlon, a storyteller and micro consultant with a background in mental health. We talk about what it actually looks like to walk away from a career that no longer fits, how to redefine success on your own terms, and why doing it differently might be the most aligned thing you ever do. This one is for the mom who is quietly wondering if there's another way.

I'm Turning 40 and I'm Out of F*cks | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A Note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2224026/fan_mail/new] This is the episode I've been building toward. I'm turning 40 this week. And I have some things to say: about what my thirties gave me, what I'm shedding as I walk into this decade, and who Speak, Mother is actually for going forward. This is a love letter to the women who have been here. And a declaration for the woman who is just finding her way in: She's the woo woo mother entrepreneur. She pulls oracle cards before strategy calls. She trusts her intuition AND her spreadsheet. She's building something with legacy on her mind and she's done waiting for permission. If that's you, stay. Pull up a chair. This is about to get good.

You Are the Magic. Stop Acting Like You're Not. | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A Note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2224026/fan_mail/new] You've been taught to make yourself more digestible. More palatable. More acceptable. To lead with your credentials instead of your perspective. To deflect the praise for work you built and led. To wait until you're more ready, more qualified, more something. But here's what that performance is actually costing you. This week I'm talking about what happens when you strip away every external marker of success — the title, the income, the degrees — and sit with what's left. Because what's left? That's the magic. And it was always you.

Why the New Version of You Needs a New Container | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A Note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2224026/fan_mail/new] Have you ever evolved — genuinely grown, shifted, become someone new — but the external pieces haven't caught up yet? New you, old job. New you, a business model you've outgrown. New you, relationships that feel a little tight now. That gap between who you're becoming and where you currently are is disorienting. And nobody talks about it honestly enough. This week I'm sitting in that middle place with you — and asking the question my therapist asked me that I haven't been able to stop thinking about: what is this costing you?

Nobody Warned Me About Maycember | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A Note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2224026/fan_mail/new] May has the same chaotic energy as December and we're not talking about it enough. The recitals. The field trips. The volunteer asks. The party you forgot to RSVP to. And somewhere underneath all of it: something of your own you're trying to protect. This week I'm talking about how I'm actually navigating this season without losing my mind or my vision. It's a quick episode, like a voice note from a friend, because we're all busy.

She Stopped Waiting for a Partner & Started Building Her Life | Crystal Napolitano

Send Shannon A Note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2224026/fan_mail/new] Crystal is 38, single, living in Southern France, and in the middle of her IVF journey. By choice and on her own terms. And she is so clear and so at peace with this decision it will make you question every time you've waited on someone else's timeline. We talk about the breakup that started it all, 13 years of undiagnosed endometriosis, what French healthcare made possible that American healthcare never could, and why she's done outsourcing the thing she wants most in the world to someone else's emotional readiness. We also get into woo, witchcraft, the suppression of the feminine, and why the village that used to raise our children has disappeared and what it's costing us.
