Juggling a million tasks, striving to ensure everything runs smoothly. Constantly worrying if everyone around us is okay. As moms, it’s a heavy burden we carry.   The relentless pressure to bear the responsibility for everyone's happiness and well-being is well…exhausting. Does being a mom and a woman mean maintaining control, fixing every problem, keeping everyone happy? No…and the sooner we release ourselves from the pressure, the easier everything gets.   What’s the one skill moms have a hard time learning but can have the most valuable pay-off? How do we not fall back into the norm of what we’re used to?   In this episode I talk about not taking on the burden of making sure everyone and everything is okay, why moms have a hard time figuring it out and how we can do less while contributing more.   There is a big distinction between being there for the people that you love and making sure everybody’s okay all the time. That is not the burden you need to bear. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -The pressure we face How does the burden of making sure everything and everyone is okay affect us?   -Step 1  Why is it so important to first recognize the problem?   -Supporting vs. stifling How do we deprive the people we love by taking on the burden of making sure everything is okay?

One Skill That's Hard for Moms to Learn (But Will Pay Off Forever)

As moms, there’s a constant pressure to put our maternal identity above everything. Of course, our kids are important, but there’s a lot more to us than that.   Our worth isn’t determined solely by how much time we dedicate to our families. Neglecting our other identities and passions can lead to a profound loss and disconnection from ourselves.   How does the pressure sabotage our ability to be truly happy and connected as women? How do we recognize and embrace our multitude of identities as women without feeling guilty?   In this episode, I talk about how having a guilty mom mindset can sabotage your success. I also talk about fostering a balanced approach to identity and how to give our identities as women enough time and space.   We are so many more things than just being a parent. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Figuring out who we are as women How do we figure out exactly who we are as women? What aspects do we look at?   -Our identity as partners Does our identity differ when we have a partner as opposed to when there is no one else included in our lives? What does that look like?   -The mindset that children are everything How has culture set this mindset up and made it a norm? Is this the correct mindset to have?  

3 Ways You're Sabotaging Your Success And How To Stop

As moms, business owners and women, our lives are constantly changing. We grow, discover new interests, and we get bored in our businesses, and we’re left wondering if it’s time to pivot.   Now, before we go uprooting everything and making huge changes, we really have to check in with ourselves first. Sometimes what feels like a new direction to shift into is nothing more than a short-term burst of excitement.   How do we tell the difference between needing to pivot and needing to just make small tweaks to what we’re doing? What questions should we ask ourselves?   In this episode, I talk about whether you should tweak or move onto something different.   If you don’t know what to say past a certain point, that’s a really good indicator that this isn’t a long-term pivot for you. -Dana Malstaff     3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Know your North Star  How do we tell the difference between tweaking what serves our higher mission, and needing to make a big change?    -Why you’re itching to pivot Will a pivot make you happy in the long-term, or are you jumping the gun because you’re excited about a new area of interest?   -Start small  Before we make massive changes, what should we try first?

Whether it’s known to us or not, a ton of our perspectives, behaviors, and triggers are dictated by situations that happened when we were kids.   How we show up in our relationships, parenting and even our businesses always tracks back to our childhoods. Some of the things we brush off and label as “just who we are” actually have a lot to do with early family dynamics. Understanding how these things shaped us is an opportunity to change them, and as parents, that’s really important.   How do we identify these things and work to change them? What steps can we take to raise emotionally regulated kids? In this episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist, TikTok personality and author of “Your Pocket Therapist: Break Free from Old Patterns and Embrace a Happier Life”, Dr. Annie Zimmerman.

When the pressure to close deals overshadows the desire to connect with others, sales can feel uncomfortable. The traditional, salesy approach creates a sense of inauthenticity that affects how we sell and leaves people feeling skeptical.   Authenticity is about being genuine, transparent, and focusing on building relationships rather than just closing deals. We need to understand the unique needs of our audience and communicate the value of our product or service in a way that resonates with them on a personal level.   How do we get comfortable selling while still providing value? How does being authentic help us to network and build our businesses?   In this episode, Authenticity Strategist Inga Faison-Cavitt joins me to talk about what it means to be authentic when selling, why we need to get more comfortable when selling and where she gets the perseverance to figure things out.   I believe that questions are the answers. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Get comfortable selling How do we shift our mindset on selling?    -Why women feel uncomfortable selling What makes sales feel so uncomfortable?   -How to make people feel valued How do we build the know, like and trust factor and provide value to those we sell to?     Guest Bio   Inga Faison-Cavitt, AKA Ingafay, is an Authenticity Strategist.

The constant internal conflict between conforming to societal expectations and pursuing our authentic desires can lead to feelings of guilt and frustration. It's a struggle that many face – the yearning to break free and live a life that brings genuine happiness and fulfillment.   In a world where societal expectations and norms often dictate our paths, it's easy to feel shackled by circumstances that don't resonate with our innermost wishes.   How do we recognize what we truly want? Why is it so important that we have people around us that fuel our need to pursue what we want rather than take away from it? Is it crucial to stay true to the things you want?   In this episode, CEO of Pursuing Results Matt Johnson joins me to talk about building the life that we want.

There’s no rule that says that we have to do things that are normalized. How do we find our own version of normal?

We're living in an era filled with both excitement and fear, where we have new opportunities. Yet the pressure to conform to traditional norms can be overwhelming. The idea that the world is our oyster can be empowering, but the reality is often a struggle against the pressure to fit into a mold.   Living up to others' expectations may result in a sense of disconnection from our true selves, creating a distorted sense of reality.   How do we break free from doing what's traditional and can it help our children to do the same? How do we challenge the conventional norms and encourage our kids to embrace both new opportunities and what they want?   In this episode life strategist, author, therapist and co-host of Be.Play.Love Sophie Chiche joins me to talk about living life the way we want to, why it's so important to do things the way we want to and not the way the world expects us to.   A lot of pain is from living a life that is not really your own. -Sophie Chiche   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Being busy vs. being burnt out How do we know if our level of activity is masking something else?   -Start to say no How do we use the word “no” with confidence?   -Masterful self-management  How do we mentor ourselves so that we can mentor our kids?    Guest Bio   Sophie is a French import on an emotional asylum visa.

The desire to understand ourselves and others is universal. When it comes to the compatibility of religious faith and astrological beliefs, confusion and skepticism often arise.   It's a dilemma many grapple with: can we simultaneously have faith in the religious sense and believe in astrological guidance?   How do we reconcile the teachings of our faith with the insights offered by astrological charts? Why does astrology sometimes become a source of controversy?   In this episode, CEO & Founder of Astrology Hub, Amanda Walsh joins me to talk about the split between astrology and religion, how our personalities align with certain things in astrology as well as the concept of karma.   Astrologers can see the tide.

The Key to Raising Connected, Confident & Considerate Children w/Brooke Romney

Every time we tell someone to be grateful for something they find burdensome, frustrating and hard, all we do is create a bunch of guilt and resentment. There’s something a lot better than gratitude - perspective.   What if instead of forcing gratitude, we admit that yes, this thing sucks, but we’re doing it in service of a greater good or bigger goal? By allowing ourselves to shift perspective and not express gratitude for things we’re not happy about, we’re being honest with ourselves, and we move through it a lot easier.   In this episode, I talk about the danger of gratitude, and why perspective is way more effective.   You’ve got to decide the stuff you care about. That way, you can shift your perspective to why the hard things you’re doing matter, then you can be grateful for the journey, even though the moments piss you off. -Dana Malstaff    3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Your brain hates it when you’re sneaky  Forcing yourself to be grateful for things you’re not happy about backfires. What happens to our brains when we’re not honest about something that sucks?    -Balancing things out  No one is grateful for allergies and other challenges. How can we use humor and perspective to deal with it?    -Don’t deny what pisses you off How do we find out what we care about so we know the hard things we have to do to get them?  

Gratitude Can Hurt You...Do This Instead

As business owners, our brains are our most valuable asset. When we’re experiencing low energy, brain fog, feeling run-down and decisions feel hard, that’s a sign that something’s off.

Sleep is free and we’re already doing it, so why not make it better?   Moms and entrepreneurs often feel like we don’t have enough time in our day for all the things. By getting good sleep, we can actually hack time. When we get our sleep dialed in, our brains move a lot faster, and we get more done in less time.   How do we improve our sleep quality?
