If the holidays feel overwhelming and your energy is already running low, this episode is for you. After years of ending December completely burned out, Alicia decided to try a holiday experiment: Is it possible for a working mom to have a calm, magical Christmas while still making the magic happen for everyone else? Between illness, family challenges, and the mental load of being the “Christmas CEO,” this season didn’t look anything like the cozy Christmas she imagined — and yet, she discovered something surprising: the magic still happened, without the pressure. By releasing perfection and asking simple questions like “How can I make this easier?”, Alicia found more peace, presence, and enjoyment in the middle of an imperfect season. When you listen, you’ll learn: • Why holiday burnout isn’t inevitable • How shifting your expectations can feel life-giving • How to create ease without losing the magic • Simple mindset shifts that bring more calm and joy — now If you want to enjoy the rest of the holidays without running yourself into the ground, this episode will help you feel lighter and more grounded.

This week, I’m joined by the incredible Magda Labonte-Blaise — a special education attorney, filmmaker, actor, and the creator of the Phenomenal Everyday Women podcast and The Rebirth Method. Her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t need a dramatic breakdown, a toxic job, or a “perfectly logical reason” to want something different. In this conversation, Magda and I talk about: ✨ What it’s like when your life looks “right” on paper… but still feels wrong ✨ How she realized her dream had shifted ✨ The surprising role water plays in her grounding and inspiration ✨ Why rest matters more than any productivity hack ✨ How moms can honor themselves without abandoning what they’ve built ✨ The messy, beautiful process of coming home to yourself Magda also shares the story behind The Rebirth Method — the framework she created after walking through her own season of feeling lost, depleted, and misaligned — and how she now helps women trust themselves, validate their own desires, and create lives that feel deeply joyful and true. This episode is a permission slip: You don’t need a crisis. You don’t need anyone’s approval. You don’t need your life to “make sense on paper.” You’re allowed to want more — simply because you want more.

In this fiery holiday special, Alicia rips the wrapping paper off the real reason working moms feel drained long before the turkey even hits the oven: the invisible emotional load they carry every single holiday season. From budgeting and gift-planning to navigating traditions, keeping the vibes peaceful, decorating everything from the living room to the bathroom, managing kids’ emotions, and trying to create a Hallmark-worthy experience — moms are essentially running holiday operations like a full-time unpaid COO. Alicia exposes the generational and societal programming that’s convinced moms they’re responsible for everyone’s holiday happiness — then calls BS on it. With humor, lived experience, and a healthy dose of holiday rebellion, she walks you through how to ditch guilt, break outdated traditions, reclaim your joy, and build a holiday season based on intention, not obligation. You’ll learn how to identify the traditions that actually feel good, release the ones that don’t, set boundaries around social events, delegate like a legend, embrace the “store-bought pie is holy” philosophy, and claim your right to rest. If you want a holiday season that’s calmer, cozier, less chaotic, and — most importantly — joyful for YOU… this episode is your permission slip to stop performing Christmas and start experiencing it.

When you let go of a dream that’s no longer meant for you, what happens next? In this episode, Alicia gets real about the wide-open, sometimes uncomfortable space between releasing the old and welcoming the new. She shares her own journey of leaving behind a long-held corporate dream, facing the fear of uncertainty, and discovering the freedom and divine timing that come with trusting the pivot. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start over—or felt stuck between what was and what could be—this one’s your permission slip to breathe, realign, and believe that what’s next might just be better than you imagined.

This week’s episode wasn’t planned — but maybe that’s exactly how it was meant to be. Recorded from her phone after the 2nd hardest nights of her life, Alicia shares raw and unfiltered reflections on motherhood, mindset, and what it means to keep showing up when life throws you a curveball. From ambulance rides and hospital rooms to tears, meditation, and perspective, this is an honest look at resilience, vulnerability, and choosing faith over fear. Tune in for real talk on: 💭 How to keep showing up even when life feels impossible 🧠 Why mindset is everything (especially in the chaos) 💞 And a powerful reminder that your pain is valid — no matter what anyone else is going through Because sometimes the bravest thing a mom can do… is show up messy, tired, and real.

What happens when the dream you’ve been chasing for years no longer fits the woman you’ve become? In this heartfelt, reflective episode, Alicia gets real about the dream she once had of climbing the corporate ladder — and the moment she realized that dream was no longer meant for her. She explores how to recognize when a dream has served its purpose, how to process the grief of letting it go, and how releasing it creates space for something new, aligned, and soul-led. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s okay to pivot, to evolve, or to want something completely different than you once did — this episode will feel like a warm permission slip and a deep exhale.

It’s officially been one year since I walked away from corporate — one bold step that changed everything. In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I’m sharing the real story of what that first year of entrepreneurship looked like: the freedom, the fear, the mindset shifts, and the transformation that came from betting on myself. I’ll walk you through the biggest lessons I learned — from why mindset is the true make-or-break factor, to how having a coach and community can keep you going when things get hard, to how chasing your dreams shapes you into a new version of yourself. If you’ve ever dreamed of leaving your 9-to-5 but felt scared, this episode is your reminder that someday can start today — and the woman you’ll become on the other side is worth every step.

This week’s episode is a beautiful conversation about reconnecting with yourself amidst the busyness of motherhood. I’m joined by the beautiful and wise Amy D’Agrosa, a Transpersonal Life Coach and Reiki Master who helps women reconnect with their hearts and live with intention. Together, we dive into the importance of community, feeling your emotions without judgment, setting boundaries, and learning to say “no” with love. Amy also shares her free journaling guide and heart-centered meditation to help you return home to yourself. If you’re in a season of change, craving a deeper connection with yourself, or just need a little soul-centered reminder that you are exactly where you’re meant to be – this conversation is for you.

You’ll learn how to tune out the noise, ground into your truth, and recognize the signs that your deepest desires are actually part of your life’s calling.

In this soulful off-script episode, Alicia speaks straight from her heart to yours — no outline, no script, just truth. She dives into the invisible mental weight moms carry every single day, from society’s endless “shoulds” to the guilt, stress, and pressure we absorb without question. You’ll learn how to filter those messages through your own truth, decide what actually belongs in your life, and finally release what doesn’t. With her signature mix of warmth, sass, and soul, Alicia reminds you that some things you carry are precious, some are flexible, and some are just clutter — the freedom comes when you finally release what isn’t yours to carry.

In this episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia flips the script on how we think about energy. Instead of treating exhaustion like a badge of honor, she shows you how to see your energy as the most valuable currency you have. From her own journey through corporate burnout to the daily realities of mom life, Alicia breaks down what drains us, what fuels us, and how to align our schedules with our natural energy patterns. Through humor, honesty, and heart, she’ll inspire you to manage your energy with intention — fueling more joy, deeper presence, and a life you don’t need a vacation from.

This week, I’m sharing a raw and soulful story about what happens when you finally honor the nudge — that quiet (or not-so-quiet) voice inside urging you toward alignment. After weeks of grief, stress, and sheer survival mode, saying yes to one persistent desire didn’t erase the pain, but it shifted everything: my energy, my peace, even my sleep. In this episode, I talk about how honoring your nudges can move you from just surviving to thriving, why those desires matter, and how they’re often the key to unlocking your higher purpose. If your soul has been whispering, this is your invitation to listen.

In this special, first ever guest episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, I sit down with Amy Dave — Physician Assistant, Women’s Wellness Coach, cancer survivor, and mom of three — to talk about what it really looks like to stop surviving and start living. Amy shares her journey from “zombie mode” exhaustion to waking up with genuine joy every day, thanks to cycle syncing, building her coaching business, and daring to go for her dream. She opens up about how pursuing her calling not only transformed her health but also deepened her relationships, turning surface-level connections into meaningful ones. If you’ve been waiting for proof that joy, purpose, and motherhood can thrive together, this conversation will light a fire in you.

In this episode of Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia breaks down why vision boards are way more than just pretty picture collages. She shares her own stories (yes, even about a water filter!) to show how making your desires visible turns “someday” into now. Backed by both science and a little spiritual woo, Alicia explains how vision boards rewire your brain, shift your energy, and help you notice opportunities that were always there. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to start dreaming bigger, this episode will remind you: the perfect time is the moment you decide you’re worthy.

The “perfect time” is a scam — and waiting for it is costing you your dreams. In this episode, Alicia pulls back the curtain on why moms keep waiting for the mythical moment when savings, schedules, and stars align (spoiler: they won’t). She shares her own journey of leaving corporate, the messy reality of imperfect timing, and the woo-fueled certainty that guided her into coaching. You’ll learn how fear disguises itself as “waiting,” why messy action always beats perfect planning, and how to start building momentum now — even if the laundry’s still piled high.

Mom guilt shows up loud and proud any time you dare to choose yourself over the dishes, the laundry, or another PTA sign-up sheet — but what if it’s not guilt at all? In this episode, Alicia flips the script and shows you how to reframe that guilt into something legendary. With a mix of real talk, research (spoiler: quality time with your kids matters way more than quantity), and a spicy rant about society’s outdated expectations, you’ll learn how to stop shrinking and start shining in your mom era. Because chasing your dreams doesn’t take away from your family — it sets the stage for their greatness too.

Ever feel stuck in “what if” land—paralyzed by fear, waiting for the perfect plan while your dream sits on the back burner? In this episode, I share the story of how one bold kitchen-counter yes (hello, box truck business!) cracked open a whole new path for me. We’ll talk fear, small strategic yeses, and even the spiritual signs that helped me trust the leap. If you’ve been overthinking your dream to death, this episode will give you the nudge to finally say “let’s do it.”
