Feeling “alive” in motherhood & business
Oct 02, 2025
I can’t wait for you to listen to this week’s episode of This Mother Means Business because it’s one of those conversations that just hits you in the gut (in the best way).
I sat down with Heather Chauvin, leadership coach and host of the Emotionally Uncomfortable podcast, and wow—she brought the kind of honesty and wisdom we all need.
Heather’s story is powerful: from becoming a mom at 18, to being diagnosed with cancer in 2013, to creating a business that actually feels alive instead of draining. She shared how so many of us build businesses chasing freedom—but accidentally create cages instead. And the way out isn’t more hustle. It’s learning how to manage your energy—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
One of the most powerful questions she asks herself (and teaches her clients) is:
👉 “How do I want to feel?”
It sounds simple, but it can shift everything about how you structure your days, your work, and even your motherhood.
We also talked about:
- The four types of energy you need to integrate (it’s more than time management)
- Why “rest” doesn’t always mean doing nothing
- How identity has to catch up when you take aligned action
- The emotional pattern that holds most high-performing women back
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re “doing everything right” but still not getting the result you want—this conversation is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.
