In this episode, we speak with Jill Wright, a mindset mentor, time management guru, and alignment coach for moms looking to reconnect to the version of themselves that doesn't just go by the name "mom". She knows what it is to put your own dreams and goals on the back burner because of the demands of a young family. But here's the truth - it doesn't have to be that way!

Experiencing post-partum depression, anxiety, and adrenal burnout as she started her journey of motherhood and entrepreneurship was enough to throw Jill into a tailspin. As she dug into the work to re-align and rediscover herself she felt called to share the knowledge and tools she was learning with other moms who were struggling with the same things: overwhelm, chaos and guilt. Jill did ALOT of soul searching and personal growth work during this time and came up with a simplified, "mom-friendly" version of goal setting and time management ; a shortcut to help her achieve her goals, find balance and reconnect with herself.

Today she's passionate about supporting a community of high-achieving women who want to find harmony between motherhood and living out their own personal dreams. Jill teaches moms who have lost themselves in the process of parenting through the pandemic how to claim back their lives. Even though our external circumstances are not likely to change, and are often out of our control (hello covid and toddlers), we can be empowered to reclaim our joy and find the confidence to go for our dreams.
