The Connected Mom Life: Recent Episodes
Emily Siegel
Real connection. That’s all any of us really want. We want to belong. We want to be seen. We want to know we matter. The Connected Mom Life with Emily Siegel is a podcast all about learning how to live a life full of authentic connections. Because villages don’t just happen. They’re created. And each week, we’ll talk about how.
When our friends experience something hard we want to show up for them. But figuring out how to do that can sometimes feel confusing and even a little overwhelming. In this episode, I’m sharing 5 ways to show up for friends when they’re hurting so they can truly feel your love, care, and support as they grieve.

Part of why friendship in adulthood can feel so tricky is because we don’t have any shared language to discuss what might be happening in (and to) our relationships as we navigate different seasons of life. In this episode, I’m joined by Alex Alexander, who is sharing with us a framework she has designed to give us exactly what we’ve been missing in our adult friendships: a clear way to think about and experience them so we can stop overthinking and assigning untrue stories, and start enjoying more of the authentic, life-giving connections we crave.

I recently carved out time for a personal retreat. And it was AMAZING. In this episode, I’m going to share the 5 questions I used to help guide me in planning it, how it actually played out, and what I will do differently next time (because, YES there will definitely be a next time!)

My goal setting process seems to evolve every year and this year is no exception. In this episode I’m sharing how I approached goal setting this year, the prompts I used to surface what to focus on in 2024, and how I came to my word of the year. If you enjoy a good behind-the-scenes look at what someone else is leaning into (and out of!) in any given season, this one is for you.

It’s me. I’m the skeptic. After trying vision boards in the past, I had pretty much written them off as not for me. But recently, I’d seen some goal setting research that led me to think I should give them one more shot. But before I did, I wanted to talk to vision imagery expert, Maria Maldanado Smith about how I might approach it differently this time. If you’ve been on the fence about incorporating vision boarding into your goal setting process, this episode is a must listen.

It’s that weird week between Christmas and New Year’s where time has no meaning and I'm not really even sure what day it is. This is also one of my favorite weeks to sneak away for an hour and enjoy some hot coffee, quiet, and do some good old reflection. So in this episode, I’m sharing the 5 reflection questions I ask myself at the end of the year to gain perspective on how I showed up in really meaningful ways for my people and myself this year (and how you did too!)

The holidays are a lot of things. They’re fun, stressful, full-of-wonder, intense, and everything in-between. But a few years ago, I found myself feeling more of the stressful and anxiety-inducing parts than the full-of-wonder parts and knew that something had to change. Since then, I’ve experimented with some simple reflection and planning activities to better prepare me for the season. In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 simple prompts I use to help me plot out my ideal holiday season so I can feel more present, and less stressed - and I’m hopeful it will help you too.

The start of a new season is often an opportunity to reset, shake old patterns, and invest in some new things. But being prone to an all-or-nothing approach, I knew I wanted this transition to look a bit different this year. So, in an effort to not do a complete 180 from summer to fall, I adopted a mantra. It’s been serving me so well in all ALL areas of my life – from kids, to home, to my community connections – and I’m excited to share it with you in today’s episode!

Habits. We’re constantly trying to ditch bad ones and stick to healthy ones. But it’s easier said than done. In this episode, I’m joined by habit and behavior change strategist, Emily Nichols to dig into how to create (and more importantly maintain) healthy habits. Listen as we discuss the number one question to consider before jumping into any new habit, the process for creating and sustaining habits that will work for YOU (and not the mom next door), plus you’ll hear Emily coach me through how to approach two new habits that I’ve been having trouble sticking to!

As an avid reader of mommy blogs 10 years BEFORE I became a mom myself, the conversation around (and about) motherhood has done a lot of shifting in the last two decades. In this episode, I’m joined by journalist Zara Hanawalt to discuss these shifts. From new language that has emerged to help us paint a more realistic picture of mom life, to how best to consume all of the motherhood media available, to the topics still not getting the attention they deserve – we’re talking about it all!

A few years ago, I was visiting my best friend from college and she took me to Grace Place – a mom’s group she had recently started. But it wasn’t your typical mom’s group – it met on the weekends, it included moms of all ages, and it was truly one of the most welcoming and authentic environments I had experienced. In this episode, Christa joins me to share how she got started (despite not considering herself a natural leader), what she has learned matters most after 5 years of gatherings, and thoughts on ways you might consider starting or getting plugged into your own mom’s group.

With the doors to Mom Friends opening next week, I wanted to bring you this special conversation with one of our members. When Rachel joined us she was craving more authentic and supportive friends in her community. After creating a plan that honored her preferences and capacity for connection, we had a front row seat to cheer her on as she put it into action! Fast forward a year, and A LOT has changed. Listen as Rachel shares what her connections look like today, the strategies that served her best, and what she says made the biggest difference in accelerating her new friendships.

Success can be such a loaded word. We tie so much to it. Yet, what’s often perceived as a success by our culture, may or may not actually be aligned with our own desires and values. In this episode, I’m joined by my IRL friend, Rebecca Field to talk about some different ways we might think about success. She’ll share how she advocated for the work life balance she wanted, navigated choosing a path that didn’t look like the traditional version of success in her career field, and how she’s encouraging other moms to define success on their own terms whether they’re working, staying-at-home, or something in-between.

The other day I found myself having all of the “should” thoughts… “I should call my parents, actually read the stack of books on my night stand, clean the dishwasher filter, etc.” Sometimes “shoulds” can be helpful nudges, and other times, they can load us up with unnecessary guilt. Recently I’ve been asking myself a question when I think I “should” do something that is helping me gain greater clarity on my next step, and release guilt if in fact I don’t have the capacity to do the thing my brain thinks I should do. My hope is this question might prove helpful for you too!

We are well into January and perhaps (like me) you’ve been attempting to lean into one or more habits in these first few weeks of the new year. So, this seems like a good time to talk about the word consistency. In this episode, I’m sharing two ways I’ve been reframing consistency (i.e. tricking my brain) into not seeing every missed day of a new habit or inability to accomplish a new goal as a failure. My hope is these two mind tricks might help you also feel like you’re crushing it most days vs. failing!

While “new year, slightly adjusted goals” doesn’t have quite the same ring to “new year, new me” – it is a better depiction of how I like to approach the start of a new year. So, in this episode, I wanted to spend some time talking about ways we can think about the new year, plus share how this perspective is shaping my goals (and word of the year!)

I’m a HUGE fan of end-of-year best-of lists, so I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite finds of 2022. From favorite things I watched and read to the new gadgets I discovered (that now I can’t live without) to the experiences I tried and now want to repeat – I’m covering them all in this episode!

One of my the most important things we can do as mothers is regulate our own nervous systems. But what exactly does that mean? In this episode, I’m joined by Christa Bevan to discuss exactly how our nervous system impacts our actions. Plus, signs we can look for to indicate that our nervous systems may be in a dysregulated state and what tangible steps we can take to get back to a regulated state so we can parent from a place of peace.

The holidays are a lot of things. They’re fun, stressful, full-of-wonder, intense, and everything in-between. But a few years ago, I found myself feeling more of the stressful and anxiety-inducing parts than the full-of-wonder parts and knew that something had to change. Since then, I’ve experimented with some simple reflection and planning activities to better prepare me for the season. In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 simple prompts I use to help me plot out my ideal holiday season so I can feel more present, and less stressed - and I’m hopeful it will help you too.

Between worrying we’re not doing enough as moms, to feeling like we’re imposters in our work places, to stressing over whether that mom is actually interested in being our friend or was just being nice – Mind Gremlins are constantly by our side. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and confidence coach Jess Critchlow to help us better understand what’s actually happening when Mind Gremlins surface and what tangible steps we can take to combat them so we can move forward in taking brave action even if our palms feel a bit sweaty (okay, a lot sweaty!)

Here we go again. After moving 4 months ago, I’m finally in a headspace where I can think about building our new village. But life doesn’t look the same as the last time I attempted to do this, so I’m approaching it differently too. In this episode, I’m sharing 3 rules I’ve set for myself as I pursue our new community and how these boundaries are already helping me to feel less behind, giving me more confidence after a first meeting, and providing peace as I trust the universe that the community I crave is coming.

We crave community, but the reality is that we often feel a bit lost on how to pursue it in today’s world of stressful jobs, privacy fences, and political climates. In this episode, Shannan Martin, author of Start with Hello, walks us through her own story of creating community – even as a self-proclaimed introvert who does not feel like being neighborly comes naturally at all – and offers us thoughts on simple, manageable, and practical ways we can pursue it too.

We're back! After a 5-month break to move my family across the country, I’m excited to say that the podcast is back! This was truly a summer of BIG changes. And with these changes, came lots of new decisions. So, in this episode, I’m sharing an update on what life has looked like the last few months, changes coming to the podcast and our Mom Friends community, and my favorite decision-making practices I’ve used to help guide me in making these changes confidently (and spoiler alert - these practices can be applied to any decision YOU might need to make too!)

Over the years, I’ve been transparent about what it looks like to live far away from family while raising a family of our own. There’s lots of really great things about it! There’s also some hard things too. And recently, it became more and more obvious that the hard was starting to outweigh the great for us. So in this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of our decision to move our family “back home” after 13 years away.

I just got back from a last-minute trip to see one of my dearest friends! But in saying yes to that trip, I knew I’d be saying no to being able to do the podcast I had planned. So I wanted to re-play the episode I had in my head when I made the decision to say YES to this trip, knowing it’d mean I’d need to give myself permission to take a break from my original plans. So I thought in lieu of my planned episode, I’d play that episode. Because in my experience, us moms need to give ourselves more permission to take breaks! But knowing when to take a break and for how long, isn’t always the easiest thing to figure out. In this episode, I’m sharing 3 questions to help you determine when you might need a break from something in your life, and my best tip for how to give yourself permission to actually take it, guilt-free!

We literally only have so much time for close relationships. So in this episode, we’ll take a deeper look at what the research says about exactly how much space we have for meaningful connections, how romantic relationships and size of our extended families impact the size of our friendship circles, and what this all actually means for maintaining friendships as a busy mom. Because when we can understand why it feels so hard to maintain all the communication with all the people - we can give ourselves some permission to release the guilt and pressure when we can’t keep up - because we weren’t meant to!

As a brand new mom living in a state with no friends or family, I had to build my circle from scratch (and stat!). So in this episode, I’m looking back on what it actually took to build the circle of support I have today. Including, the one thing I did that I think made all the difference in accelerating my early friendships, the one regret I have about where I didn’t attempt to find mom friends (and should have!), and the constant thread I see in all of my friendships that ultimately stuck!

Today I’m all about making friends on the internet. But this wasn’t always the case. I had to sort through all sorts of feelings before I could wrap my head around reaching out to a stranger online. So in this episode, I’m sharing how I got here and what it has looked like to go from follower to friend, how frequently we connect (and how!), and how my internet friends fulfill my circle in ways my local friend can’t. Plus, I’ll share the steps you can take to make your first (or next!) internet bestie if you’re ready!

I’ve always hated the expression “early is on time, on time is late.” Why can’t I just be on-time-ish? But recently, someone casually mentioned how she’d stopped being slightly late to things and it had removed a ton of low-grade stress. And that was enough for me to give it a try. So in this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of what life looked like before I started being truly on time to things, the logistics of making this shift, what I was most nervous about happening, and the surprising impact it has made not just for me - but in our family.

When I wake up most mornings, my head is racing thinking about all the things that have to get done. After a decades-long quest to figure out the perfect morning routine to help calm my brain, I’ve landed on the post-it method. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I use a post-it note each morning to calm my anxieties (and minimize my stress levels throughout the day). Plus, some questions and considerations you might reflect on to help you figure out the best way to start your day on the best note, too!

Between the holidays, kids, careers, LIFE - this can be a stressful time of year! So I wanted to spend a few episodes sharing some of my go-to strategies for minimizing stress not just during the holidays, but all-year round. In this kick-off episode, I’m sharing the first strategy I lean on when life starts to feel hectic, and how I use it as a guide on a daily, weekly, and seasonal basis to help me prioritize what matters most - so I can ditch the guilt and enjoy less stress!

As busy moms, the idea of investing a bunch of time to find your next best friend, only to have things not pan out can be a bit defeating. Plus, who wants to go through the uncomfortableness of figuring out how to walk away without things being weird? In this episode, we’re going to talk about this fear, what’s really behind it, and discuss some perspective shifts that may make this one easier to push past.

We often talk about how hard friendship feels in the midst of busy mom life. But the reality is that a lot of things have actually gotten easier in my friendships since becoming a mom. So in this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about what is actually better about friendship in motherhood - like the ways kids can help us make more friends (and ease the awkward at the same time!), and how a lack of time may be the key to the most fulfilling and authentic friendships we’ve ever experienced.

The mind games are REAL when it comes to making friends as a busy mom. And the fear of being annoying (or a burden) comes up a lot! In this episode, we’re going to talk about what we’re actually afraid of when we worry we’ll be perceived as annoying, the number of outreaches it really takes to feel-out a new connection without being “too much”, and when to listen to your gut and when to question it in determining next steps with a potential friend.

Bookclubs can be a great way to make and deepen friendships, but meeting monthly can be a bit tricky to pull off as a busy mom. So last January, I decided to give a Voxer book club a try. And it was a hit! In this episode, I’m sharing how I sweet-talked my friends into doing it, what it actually looked like each week to discuss the book in this format, and why our book choice made all the difference in helping us GO DEEP!

Making friends in motherhood is hard enough, but making friends as a couple takes things to a whole new level! It isn’t just ONE relationship that has to have a spark - there are multiple! And different personalities have different preferences for how often they have the energy (or desire) to pursue friendship - making the whole thing just a bit tricky. So in this episode, I’m joined by my husband, Mike to talk about our experience making friends as a couple over 13+ years and 2 cross-country moves -- and all we’ve learned along the way!

Do you ever walk into your closet and feel like you have nothing to wear despite the fact that it’s packed full of clothes? This was me almost every day. So last spring, I decided to invest (both in head space and in a personal stylist) to help me figure out a way to make getting dressed in the morning feel easier. In this episode, I’ll share the lessons learned along the way that have created space both in my closet (and my life) to help my days literally feel lighter!

Daycare can be one of THE BEST places to make mom friends. Between the fact that the kids already know each other, and it’s almost a guarantee you’re in a similar life-season and live nearby each other - the factors are ripe for friendship! The problem is, it often doesn’t just happen by passing each other during pick-ups and drop-offs. In this episode, I’ll share my number one strategy for getting contact info and using it to go from exchanging driveby smiles to full-blown friendship!

It seems counterintuitive, but detaching has probably been one of the most sanity-saving strategies I have used (and continue to use) in my friend-making journey. In this episode, I’m sharing how detaching has helped me make faster + deeper connections, avoid awkward and desperate interactions, and confidently pursue friendship without feeling so crazy along the way. Plus, how you too can detach in a healthy way so that pursuing friendship feels fun and light!

We’ve been told a lot of stories about what a best friend should and should not be since we were little girls. And unfortunately, some of these stories are now leaving us feeling very disappointed about the state of our friendships in motherhood. In this episode, we’re going to have an honest discussion about best friends and our expectations for them.

Do you have a boatload of acquaintances but few real friends? For some of us, it’s not small talk that’s hard. It’s moving from small talk to REAL talk that can feel really confusing. But there is a path! In this episode, I’m sharing the simple strategy of using “bridge events” to nudge a connection from acquaintance to friend (with minimal awkwardness!)

I recently found myself needing to cut a lot of things out of my life in order to thrive in a particularly busy season. But knowing what to take a break from and for how long, isn’t always the easiest thing to figure out as a busy mom. In this episode, I’m sharing 3 questions to help you determine when you might need a break from something in your life, and my best tip for how to give yourself permission to actually take it, guilt-free!

One of the tough things about not living near family is that vacation time is often spent visiting “home.” Trying to balance time with family, rest, and experiences we want to have with our kids can be a bit of a jigsaw to put together. So in this episode, I walk through how we approach planning these trips without pulling our hair out managing all of the logistics, while also feeling really good at the end of our time knowing we spent it seeing the people we wanted to see and doing the things we wanted to do.

There’s something that shifts in our identities when we become moms, right? All of a sudden things that we enjoyed or cared about pre-kids sometimes slightly shifts - or even seismically shifts. And often, that shift has an impact on everything in our life, but especially our friendships. In this episode, we talk through how to survive (and even thrive) when one or both of us change, so we know how our friendships can adjust alongside us, too.

Coming off of the heels of Mother’s Day, it seemed like the perfect time to have a conversation around what a “good” mother looks like. We all so desperately want to show up as the best mom for our kids, but what does that even look like these days? In this episode, parenting coach, Heather Chauvin joins me for a nuanced conversation about what motherhood could be like when you parent from a place that truly honors your own needs and desires. And then, what ends up happening to everyone else because of it!?

Kids and technology. If I’m being honest, this is an episode I didn’t want to record. And, it’s the type of episode I never hit play on either! So, if you’re like me and like to avoid the topic of kids and technology for fear of feeling more guilt about your current approach, then Dr. Kim Swales is the voice you’ve needed.

Do you feel like your outer appearance is truly a reflection of YOU!? Today, we’re going to talk all about our clothes and how they make us feel. But really, this episode is about so much more than clothes. It’s about finding your authentic style that helps you feel more connected to yourself, so you can ultimately better connect with others. We tackle the external messages we’ve been given about what we should wear, the steps to take to define your own personal style, and how to get dressed in less than 30 seconds each day (without a capsule wardrobe!).

While none of us ever wish to find ourselves in embarrassing situations, the stories that come from them may actually prove helpful to our friendships. No longer are embarrassing stories something to shy away from telling, but when brought out at just-the-right-time, they may actually help to fast-forward our friendships.

One of the scariest things about making friends is you put yourself out then not be accepted. Either the person you want to be friends with is too busy, or feels like she has too many friends already, or just isn’t interested in a friendship with you. The fear of rejection is certainly real, but how common is it, really? In this episode I share my own story of being “rejected” and what helped me move forward and continue to put myself out there, and how you can too.

There’s no denying it. Nearly every step of the friend-making process has elements of awkwardness. It’s awkward to talk to new people. It’s awkward to walk into a room where you feel like everyone else knows someone but you. It’s awkward to ask for contact info after just meeting someone. It’s awkward to extend an invite to someone you hardly know to get together. But the truth is: If we value friendship, we value avoiding awkwardness more. It’s better to embrace it and push through. And, in this episode, I’ll share 5 practices for how you can do just that.

I heart all things planning. But as much as I love planning, I haven’t yet found my perfect planner. Given this is usually the time of year I purchase one, I was excited to invite Sarah Hart Unger, host of the Best Laid Plans podcast to talk all-things planners. She shares the most important question to answer before you buy a planner, various planning techniques and rhythms, and she even walks me through a mini planner match-making session!

I don’t know about you, but before I become a parent, I had ALL THE ANSWERS. And now that I am one, let’s just say I have far fewer opinions on anything parenting related, with one exception. I honestly wish I had received this piece of parenting advice sooner because it has been a game changer. It has saved my sanity and guided each and every one of my parenting decisions (both big and small) over the years. And I promise, it’s not complicated - no 10-page workbooks required! So if you’re looking to simplify your parenting approach and enjoy the freedom that comes from having more confidence in your parenting choices, this episode is for you.

So if villages don’t just happen, that means we have to create them. And that creates a problem - a BIG one (well, two big ones!). Making friends as an adult feels hard. AND...who has the TIME for friends between careers and kids? In this episode I’m sharing my tangible strategies for overcoming both of these hurdles - including the one email I sent that resulted in moving a group of acquaintances to the fierce friend zone in less than a year.
Real connection. That’s all any of us really want. We want to belong. We want to be seen. We want to know we matter. In fact, our life literally depends on it. Having moved several times, I’ve had to create my village from scratch over and over. And I’ve learned a thing or two along the way about how to cultivate real, authentic connections that are truly life-giving - if not life-saving! So in this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned and how I’d do it differently if I was starting all over (again!).
Pivot! Pivot! PIVOT! Favorite Friends episode anyone? The Corporate Mom Life is pivoting to the Connected Mom Life! And in this sneak peek, I’m sharing why…Plus, how you can expect things to look different and how they will look the same!
As we close out our first season, we decided to pull back the curtain and answer some of our most frequently asked questions!

Self-care is such a broad and loosely defined term these days so we wanted to explore what it means to us. In this episode we describe what self-care looked like pre-kids and how that has impacted our reframing of what it means to us now that we’re moms with careers. We also provide our strategies, activities, and tips for finding meaning in the ever present self-care revolution.

Do you feel weighed down by the ever-present Mom-guilt and the feelings of inadequacy we working Moms put on ourselves? Do you have trouble saying, “no?” Or do you subscribe to the notion that if you’re not being all the things to all the people in your life, you might be a bad Mom? And employee? Yeah, we thought you might. We do too (one of us more than another!). In this episode we explore how both of us have struggled through our own versions of Mom-guilt, how we define it and our unique strategies for combating it.
We’ve all heard the expression, “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side?” Or is it? In this episode on Career Transitions we dive into our own experiences in making work transitions that have shaped our corporate careers - and our families lives. We discuss our promotions; when the right time is to ask for one and we delve into the intricacies of navigating and networking through the corporate hierarchy so that it impacts your progression in a positive way whether you’re climbing up, or down, or going across the corporate ladder.
Do you love your career and love being a Mom? So do we! We knew we couldn’t be the only ones! In this first episode, we’ll each share how we approach being a mom in the corporate world, while also finding space for our families - and ourselves. We’ll introduce you to our families, our corporate careers, and let you in on the story of how this podcast came to be and what exactly you can expect to hear from week to week.
