Working moms don’t lack motivation in January. They lack permission.

In this episode, I’m introducing the word I’m speaking over 2026 for myself and this community: unapologetic. We’re talking about why so many working moms burn out even when they’re capable and committed, how shrinking and self-justifying quietly drains your energy, and what it looks like to finally name what you want without guilt. This is about moving from good intentions to real commitment and letting this year feel different.

In this episode, we unpack:

1. Why working moms burn out even when they “do everything right”
2. What living unapologetically actually means in real life
3. How settling and self-justifying fuel exhaustion
4. Why wanting more isn’t selfish or irresponsible
5. The first step to declaring what you want in 2026
