233: The Realities of Being a Leader as a Young Mom: a Coaching Conversation with Madeleine Lambert

In this special episode, I have an honest and heartfelt coaching conversation with Madeleine Lambert, a young mom navigating the complexities of leadership, work, and family life.

Together, we explore the challenges and triumphs of balancing a demanding career with personal responsibilities, touching on important topics like guilt, self-doubt, and the societal pressures of “having it all figured out.” 

 

During a candid live coaching session, we dive into the realities of conflicting priorities and explore whether Madeleine’s struggles stem from a prioritization issue or an unrealistic workload. I share actionable strategies to help her feel more in control, such as implementing a task triage system and using tools like brain dumps to capture all tasks and reduce mental clutter. 

We dive into:

  • Madeleine’s career journey
  • The challenges of juggling family life and work as a female leader
  • A special live coaching session addressing conflicting priorities and identifying the root causes of stress
  • My favorite strategies for task management and freeing up mental space
  • And more

 

Join us for these valuable insights and let 2025 be the year you stop “should-ing” all over yourself and give yourself permission to set boundaries and pursue ambitious goals.
