Ever feel like you're doing all the things—journaling, praying, goal setting—but you're still in a fog?

👉 You’re exhausted from juggling everything, but can’t pinpoint what’s wrong

👉 You’ve asked for advice, made the spreadsheets, reworked your resume—and still feel stuck

👉 You’re craving clarity, but the more you chase it, the more it slips away

• How each leadership style (Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac) gets stuck—and what to do next
• 3 sneaky habits that drain your clarity without you realizing it
• A 4-question clarity audit to get honest with yourself (in under 5 minutes)

Feeling burnt out—even when you're checking all the boxes?

Do you ever look at your perfectly planned calendar and still feel like you're failing? 😩 You're not lazy. You're not disorganized. You're carrying a mental load no planner can fix—and it's time we talked about it.

In this solo episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, we’re flipping the script on time management and going deeper into what actually helps career moms thrive.

🔥 In This Episode:
✔️ Why time management hacks fail high-achieving working moms
✔️ The 3 layers of time strategy (and why most people only use one)
✔️ A coaching-style reflection to uncover what’s really draining your energy
✔️ Strengths-based shifts by leadership style to reclaim your time and power

💬 Key Quote:
"It’s not about getting more done—it’s about choosing what matters. Energy. Identity. Boundaries. That’s real time strategy." — Shannon

🛠️ Try This Action Step:
Audit your last 3 “yeses.” For each one ask:
✨ Did it energize or drain me?
✨ Did I say yes from desire—or guilt?
✨ Would I say yes again?

Then choose one layer (task, energy, or identity) to focus on this week. Small shifts = big wins.
