Welcome back to Work in Progress: Mom’s Edition — the podcast where we get real about unemployment, motherhood, ambition, and figuring out what the next chapter looks like.

This week, we’re sitting down with someone who embodies all of it: Kristy Kilduff, founder of Awakened Achiever, a growing community designed for ambitious women and moms who have checked every box of “success” but still feel disconnected from peace, presence, and purpose.

A nearly 20-year corporate veteran, sales executive at a major corporation, and mom of three under eight, Kristy joins us to talk about the moment she realized something had to change — and how she began redefining success from the inside out.

We dive into:
✨ What it means to rewrite your relationship with ambition
✨ The pressure high-achieving moms face (and how to loosen it)
✨ Why wellness can coexist with big goals
✨ The three pillars of Awakened Achiever: clarifying priorities, reconnecting with purpose, and cultivating community
✨ Simple, low-pressure wellness habits moms can actually maintain
✨ What the next 5–10 years could look like for working moms
✨ And of course… Kids Chaos — Kristy’s hilarious weekly mom moment

If you’re a mom feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, Kristy’s story and insights are exactly what you need today.
