The Mom's Got This... Mostly Podcast

Entrepreneur Like a Mother with the Female Mavericks

If you've ever felt like ambition and motherhood are pulling you in opposite directions — this episode is going to change something in you. I sat down with Beth and Victoria, the powerhouse duo behind Female Mavericks, and I walked away from this conversation feeling both fired up and deeply seen. Between them, they've founded three companies, successfully exited two for seven plus figures, and raised nine kids while doing it. And they did it without pretending the mom part didn't exist. What struck me most? They're not here to tell you that you can do it. They're here to show you how. In this episode, we dig into: * Why the word "balance" doesn't exist in a mom entrepreneur's vocabulary — and what to focus on instead * The five power moves from their upcoming book Entrepreneur Like a Mother — including the Mommy Mayhem Matrix, the Kitchen Cabinet, and the Freedom Number Calculator * Why women are perfectionists who over-build their product before ever selling it — and how to break that pattern * How entrepreneurship actually gave them more flexibility than corporate ever did * The mindset shift that kept them going through the hard seasons: motherhood is not your kryptonite — it's your superpower * Why your best connectors aren't at stuffy networking events — they're in the pickup line * And the glitter grams they've been mentally writing to their haters for years 😂 This is the conversation I wish I'd had years ago. And if you're a mom who's been quietly wondering whether the dream is still possible — it is. You just need the right framework.

It's Not an Octopus, It's a Fish

Some weeks hand you a lot. A 12-hour road trip. A wedding full of people you love. Emotions you can't quite name. And a body that's just... done. This episode is a little different. It's more of an experience than a typical conversation — and it starts in the dark, with a candle, and a shower. In this solo episode, Alicia shares two simple practices that helped her process an unexpectedly emotional weekend: a "dark shower" she'd never heard of until it showed up on her Instagram feed, and 10 minutes of journaling that turned an octopus of feelings into something she could actually hold. We talk about: * What a dark shower is and why it works * The journaling technique that gives clarity, permission, and two good cries in under 10 minutes * Why suppressing emotions takes more energy than expressing them * Why nervous system regulation doesn't have to be a whole thing If you've ever gone to bed hoping sleep would resolve your feelings — and woken up to find them still there — this one's for you.

Wonder Over Worry: Releasing the Grip and Trusting the Flow with Cara Nance

What if the answer to "how is this all going to work out" isn't more planning — it's more trust? In this episode, Alicia sits down with Cara Nance, Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, founder of Tutum Leadership Coaching, and host of the Tutum Talk podcast, for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like a deep exhale. Cara and Alicia talk about what it really means to follow your inner knowing when the noise around you is loud, why your logical brain can't map the next chapter of your life (and what to do instead), and the simple but powerful mindset shift — wonder over worry — that just might change the way you move through uncertainty. If you've been waiting to feel ready, second-guessing your next step, or quietly wondering if there's something more for you — this one's for you, mama. In this episode we cover: * Trusting your intuition over outside opinions * Building self-trust while you're still becoming  * Why being confused might mean you're right on track  * The energy of surrender vs. the grip of fear * Who to share your dreams with (and who to keep them from) EPISODE RESOURCES Connect with Cara: * 6 in 6 Mastermind: Learn More  [https://af90f1ac.streak-link.com/C1RSgUczs5vf8YUgugHIq2-d/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tutumleadershipcoaching.com%2Fmastermind-registration] * Website: TutumTeadershipCoaching.com [https://www.tutumleadershipcoaching.com/] * Instagram:@tutumleadershipcoaching [https://www.instagram.com/tutumleadershipcoaching/?hl=en] * LinkedIn: @CaraNance [https://www.linkedin.com/in/caranance/] * YouTube: Watch her channel here [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKmsTWxY_UoJzgEUu-s6skg] Connect with Alicia: * Come Home To Yourself: A Guided Group Experience: Grab Your Spot [https://dreamstrategysession.my.canva.site/come-back-to-yourself-virtual-event] * Instagram: @a.s.grantham [https://www.instagram.com/a.s.grantham/]

Letting It Be Easy: Ambition, Motherhood & Flow with Susanne Eifler

In this deeply grounding and expansive conversation, Alicia sits down with Susanne Eifler—former international business owner turned intuitive coach—to explore what it really looks like to build a life and career that supports you, not the other way around. After building and leading a successful international company for 27 years, Susanne shares how she approached business and motherhood differently from the very beginning. When she became a mother in 2001, she made a clear and intentional decision: her life would come first and her business would be designed to support it. From that point on, she set non-negotiable boundaries—including keeping Fridays completely off—and built a company that allowed her to be present for her family without sacrificing her ambition. Together, Alicia and Susanne unpack the quiet tension so many ambitious moms feel—the pull toward something more, even when life looks successful on paper—and what it looks like to follow that pull with trust instead of force. This conversation explores: * What it looks like to design your business around your life from the start * Why success can still feel misaligned—and how to navigate that  * The power of self-trust, even when you don’t have the full plan  * Letting go of timelines, expectations, and rigid outcomes  * Simple ways to reconnect with your inner voice through meditation and journaling  * The difference between forcing results and allowing them to unfold  If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more—but can’t quite see the full path yet—this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a gentle reminder: You don’t need to burn your life down. You need to come back home to yourself.
