Episode 53: Leadership That Restores: Confidence, Repair, and Real Influence with Jamie Hansen of Alloy Solutions
2026/02/05
Leadership doesn’t stop when the workday ends — and for many working moms, it often feels heavier than ever.
In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down with Jamie Hansen, founder of Alloy Solutions, Maxwell Leadership–certified coach, and longtime counselor-turned-leadership developer, to explore what it truly means to lead with confidence, connection, and purpose.
Together, they unpack the concept of redemptive leadership — a way of leading rooted in self-awareness, restoration, and relationship rather than perfection or pressure. Jamie shares why high achievers often struggle with self-criticism, how “connection before correction” transforms leadership at work and at home, and why repair is often more powerful than getting it right the first time.
This conversation bridges leadership and motherhood, offering practical insight for women who are leading teams, families, and themselves — often all at once.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of responsibility, questioned your influence, or wondered if there’s a healthier way to lead without burning out, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, encouraged, and reminded that leadership doesn’t require flawlessness — it requires presence.

Episode 52: Letting Go of Perfection and Learning to Lead Your Life with Grace with Kim Kupiecki
2026/01/29
What if the mess doesn’t mean you’re failing but that you’re fully living?
In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down with Kim Kupiecki, author of The Beautiful Mess, speaker, corporate leader, and mom, for an honest, grounding conversation about perfection, pressure, and grace in working motherhood.
Together, they explore why high-achieving women struggle so deeply with giving themselves grace, how the “everyone else has it figured out” lie keeps moms stuck, and what it really looks like to own your value, both at work and at home.
This conversation isn’t about doing more, fixing yourself, or chasing balance. It’s about releasing unrealistic expectations, redefining success, and learning how to show up with intention even when life feels messy.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, behind, or quietly questioning whether you’re doing enough, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need perfection to be a great mom, a strong leader, or a whole person.
Because the mess doesn’t disqualify you; it’s part of the story. Connect with Kim

Episode 51: Starting Strong and Staying Steady: Motivation, Discipline, and Self-Leadership in the New Year
2026/01/22
This week on Working Moms Redefined, Denise is sharing reflections from a recent live conversation she hosted for the Nutrition HQ community about motivation, discipline, and what it really looks like to keep showing up for ourselves. At the start of a new year, motivation can feel hopeful and exciting. We make plans, set goals, and imagine how good it will feel to finally follow through. But as Denise gently reminds us, motivation is fleeting and that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It just means you’re human.
In this episode, Denise talks about the shift from waiting to feel motivated to choosing discipline as an act of self-leadership. Not rigid, all-or-nothing discipline, but the kind rooted in care, intention, and trust in yourself. The kind that carries you forward on the days when life is full, energy is low, and no one else is cheering you on.
This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to overhaul your life or have it all figured out. You need to keep taking small, aligned steps toward the things that matter to you. You are allowed to lead yourself with compassion, grace, and consistency. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because your motivation faded or wondered why you keep starting over, this episode is for you. You are not behind, and you are more capable than you realize.

Episode 50: Parenting with Calm and Connection: Real Solutions for the Hard Days with Todd Sarner of Transformative Parenting
2026/01/15
Parenting isn’t hard because you’re doing it wrong- it’s hard because it’s deeply emotional work. In this episode, Denise sits down with Todd Sarner, founder of Transformative Parenting, to talk about what really makes parenting feel so challenging- even for smart, intentional, loving moms.
Together, they unpack why behavior problems are often communication problems, how to stay calm when emotions run high, and where to start when you’re craving more peace and connection at home. Todd also shares practical ways to get your partner on board, build emotional resilience in your kids, and navigate modern parenting challenges like screens and stress without losing yourself in the process.
If you’ve ever felt like parenting shouldn’t be this hard, this conversation will remind you—you’re not alone, and there’s a calmer, more connected way forward.

Episode 49: Imagine Feeling Beautiful Again in the New Year: Mindset, Micro Habits, and Real Confidence with Michelle Stallings
2026/01/08
In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, I’m joined by Michelle Stallings, health coach and founder of Ambitious and Fit, who is dedicated to helping women break free from the cycle of putting themselves last. If you are tired of pushing your health to the back-burner, not feeling confident in your own skin, hiding from photos, or thinking you need to restrict, shrink, or punish yourself to feel better, this conversation will speak directly to you. Michelle believes mental clarity comes before physical results, and today she explains why mindset is the foundation of every lasting change. We talk about the most common traps working moms fall into, why so many of us feel stuck even when we know what to do, and how to shift from guilt and perfectionism into caring for yourself with confidence and intention. Michelle shares how to build routines that feel like Wonder Woman strength on real-life schedules, how to tune into what your body actually needs, and how to stop chasing diet culture expectations and start owning what balance means for you. She also offers simple micro habits and realistic starting points for the mom who feels overwhelmed or stretched thin. If you’re ready to feel beautiful in your own skin, build a strong and toned body you are proud of, and create habits that let you show up as the best version of yourself at home and at work, Michelle’s wisdom will feel like a breath of fresh air. Girl, she’s got you.

These episodes captured real-life leadership moments, honest challenges, and the mindset shifts that helped working moms navigate busy seasons with more clarity and confidence.

Each conversation serves as a reminder that growth does not always look loud or linear, but it is always meaningful.
At its core, this episode is about perspective. It’s an invitation to recognize how much you’ve carried, how much you’ve learned, and how much strength it takes to keep showing up day after day. It reframes the year not by what was accomplished, but by the wisdom gained along the way.
You’ll leave this episode feeling encouraged, affirmed, and reminded that every season matters. It’s a chance to reflect with grace, reconnect with the lessons that shaped this year, and move forward feeling supported, grounded, and aligned with what truly matters most.

In this episode, Denise highlights five of the most listened-to episodes from this year, revisiting the conversations that resonated most deeply with working moms navigating leadership, motherhood, and everything in between.

She reflects on how these conversations continue to meet working moms exactly where they are, often landing differently depending on the season of life or leadership you’re in now.
This episode is a reminder to pause and acknowledge your growth. It’s about honoring the lessons learned, the shifts made, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up, both at work and at home.

Episode 46: The Ultimate Christmas Checklist: More Joy, Less Pressure
2025/12/18
This week on Working Moms Redefined, Denise walks you through The Ultimate Christmas Checklist for Working Moms- a simple, joy-filled guide designed to help you create meaningful memories without adding more to your plate in the busiest season of the year.
Instead of trying to do everything, Denise shares how to choose the traditions that matter most: mailing letters to Santa, driving around to see Christmas lights, letting kids pick out ornaments that reflect who they are right now, sibling gift exchanges, Christmas movie nights, cut-out cookies, and more. She even dives into the magic-makers- letters from Santa, footprints by the fireplace and why it’s totally OK if the Elf on the Shelf never shows up at your house.
But more than that, this episode reframes Christmas for working moms. It’s a reminder that your kids don’t need a perfect season, they need you. They need presence, not pressure. Connection, not comparison.
Denise also shares the leadership lessons woven into this season: how modeling joy, flexibility, and intention shapes your home and teaches your kids what truly matters.
You’ll leave this episode feeling lighter, inspired, and clear on how to create a Christmas that’s both memorable and manageable- a season rooted in joy, connection, and grace.

Episode 45: Healthy(ish) Holidays: How to Stress Less, Eat Freely, and Actually Enjoy the Season with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb
2025/12/11
The holidays are supposed to be joyful—but for many working moms, they can feel like a juggling act of stress, sugar, and self-criticism. In this episode, Denise sits down with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, a triple board-certified physician in internal, lifestyle, and obesity medicine, to talk about what it really means to stay healthy—physically and mentally—through the busiest season of the year.
Dr. Garcia-Webb works with high-achieving professionals who want to feel their best without falling into guilt, perfectionism, or unrealistic wellness expectations. Together, she and Denise unpack how to navigate food freedom during the holidays, manage comparison and stress, and create healthy rhythms that actually fit your life—not the other way around.
Whether you’re trying to balance holiday parties with real rest or simply want to ditch the “detox” mindset, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, grounded, and equipped to redefine health on your own terms this season.

Episode 44: From Overwhelmed to In Control: A New Movement to Work, Mother, and Live with Courtney Cecil
2025/12/04
In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, I’m joined by Courtney Cecil, CEO, founder of the Working Moms Movement, mom of two, and a woman on a mission to help moms reclaim their time, energy, and identity. After walking through burnout, overwhelm, and the pressure to “do it all,” Courtney built an entire movement to reshape how women think about balance. Today, she shares what work-life balance actually looks like for modern mothers, the most common mistakes we make, and how to build schedules that support our family’s natural rhythm instead of someone else’s version of success. We talk about mom guilt, perfectionism, and the quiet pressure to measure ourselves against curated motherhood online- and the mindset shifts that bring peace back into the picture. Courtney offers practical tools to reduce overwhelm, set boundaries without guilt, decide what gets your yes (and your no), and take back control of your calendar before it takes control of you. If you’re tired, stretched thin, or craving more clarity and calm in your days, this conversation will remind you that balance isn’t a fantasy- it’s a set of small, intentional choices that you’re absolutely capable of making. This episode will leave you feeling lighter, supported, and empowered to redefine what success looks like for you, right where you are.

Episode 43: Finding Gratitude in the Chaos: The Everyday Moments That Make Us Smile with Denise
2025/11/27
Let’s be honest- sometimes gratitude feels hard. Between the morning chaos, reheated coffee, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s easy to miss the small, sacred moments that make our days meaningful. In this episode, Denise shares what fun little things keep her gracious and not anxious. From the comfort of a warm mug (even if it’s been microwaved twice) to the laughter that follows a day gone completely sideways, this is a reminder that gratitude doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. It’s found in the real, messy, beautiful moments of everyday life. Tune in, smile a little, and remember: how we view things is how we do things.

Episode 41: No Time for Me? Why Hobbies Matter for Working Moms (and Dads Too) with Author AJ Simmons
2025/11/13
So many working moms (and dads) feel like hobbies are a luxury they don’t have time for. In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down for a fun and honest conversation with author AJ Simmons about why carving out “me time” isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
Through lighthearted icebreakers (like hobbies gone hilariously wrong and dream passions we’d turn into full-time jobs) to deeper reflections on parenting, stress relief, and balance, this episode explores how hobbies can make moms more present, energized, and connected at home and work.
You’ll hear a partner’s perspective on what men often miss about the mental load moms carry, why “micro-hobbies” can matter just as much as big ones, and how dads can support moms in reclaiming time for joy and creativity. We wrap up with fun takes on hobby trends, couple connections, and the dream hobbies we imagine when the kids are grown.
If you’ve ever thought, “I literally don’t have five minutes for myself,” this conversation will inspire you to see hobbies differently- as fuel, not fluff.
