Somewhere along the way, many working moms lose touch with the parts of themselves that feel playful, energized, and alive. In this episode, I’m joined by Whitney Baker, founder of Electric Ideas, for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, identity shifts after motherhood, and what it really means to reconnect with your spark. If you’ve been moving through your days on autopilot, this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and reconnect.

In this episode, we unpack:

  1. Why losing your spark is common for ambitious working moms
  2. The hidden cost of overfunctioning and living in constant “go mode”
  3. What it actually feels like to be lit up and inspired
  4. Small, realistic ways to invite play and spontaneity back in
  5. Why choosing your energy isn’t selfish—it’s essential
