Following the crumbs in the chaos is a full-time job as a Productivity Coach. As a busy mom of three and the founder of Chaos N' Cookies, keeping moms from crumbling is my main objective. After gaining 10+ years of experience as a Director of Marketing helping build multiple 6 & 7-figure businesses for other women, I've created the Chaos Control System to equip moms to overcome their own objections so they can live the life they want to live and start the business they have always wanted. The Family Playbook, or standard operating procedure, is the tool every mama needs to save time and stress-less when chaos ensues at home. For the new business owners, I also help simplify systems on social media and other platforms to automate processes to get their business up and running quickly and efficiently with how-to tutorials and hands-on coaching. I have helped hundreds of women to be more productive and self-sufficient in their homes and businesses allowing them to reclaim control of the chaos.

Donna pioneered the concept of LinkedIn profile optimization, realizing early on that the LinkedIn profile was so much more than just an online resume. The LinkedIn profile is a fantastic branding opportunity.
She spent the first 10 years of her career in sales, operations, and training. Donna joined LinkedIn’s social network in 2005, where she promptly copied and pasted her resume and wondered what all the fuss was about.
A job change in 2006 led her back to LinkedIn as Donna looked for tools to help her build a sales territory. It was during this time she had her LinkedIn epiphany and forged her LinkedIn 4 point methodology. By integrating LinkedIn into her sales process, she found tremendous success.
In 2009, she walked away from her successful sales career and founded Vision Board Media and LinkedIn-Makeover.com. Her mission: To help people realize their Internet identity and shape one that makes an impact and leads to opportunity.
As the foremost expert in LinkedIn profile optimization, she’s proven that a strong LinkedIn profile is the key to performing well on LinkedIn.
Since 2009, Donna and her team of over 40 writers have helped thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, sales stars, business leaders, and professionals from around the world create professionally branded LinkedIn profiles.
She is not just a business owner but also the author of the book “LinkedIn Profile Optimization For Dummies,” published by Wiley.
Donna is also an in-demand speaker throughout the US. She has been featured on Forbes, Business Insider, Time’s Money Section, Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch, LA Times, NBC, SiriusXM Radio’s The Focus Group, and many other news outlets.
Donna has presented keynotes and workshops for NBCUniversal, Columbia University, Wharton Business School, Intuit, Texas State Bar Association, GSK, and hundreds more.

In this episode, I have the pleasure to sit down and have some real talk with Michelle. Believe me, you don’t want to miss this.
Let me just tell you a little about this amazing Mama, Michelle has made half a million dollars from her Facebook group...and counting.
When she says she knows how to grow an audience that makes you 6-figures, she means it. Growing her own group was a total game-changer for her business. It gave her the freedom and security she had been searching for when she left her 9-5 nearly five years ago.
With a 15-year background in marketing & public relations, Michelle has the skills and knowledge to help other talented rockstars get to 6-figures in their business. That starts with her proven framework for growing an engaged Facebook group that makes you a 6-figure business owner. Michelle's no-nonsense, tough-love approach helps her clients get results fast. If you want a kick in the pants to get moving (and the accountability to go with it), then Michelle is the perfect coach for you.

The When/Then parenting tool (I snagged it from Amy McCready of Positive Parenting Solutions) is a total winner when it comes to getting your kiddos to cooperate.
But...Are you using this effective parenting tool on yourself?! Some of us are using it to pacify our way through life, avoid hard things, or worse, truly take care of ourselves.
When I have the money, then I'll invest.
When I have more time, then I'll start my business.
When I am more confident, then I'll put myself out there.
When I hit my goals, then I'll be happy.
I was guilty of it, too! Today, I am going to share with you how to end the When/Then cycle with yourself so that you can start enjoying your life and your business right now.
If you find yourself When/Then-ing your life away you’ll want to tune in to this episode!

Do you ever go to bed feeling like a bad parent? I’ve been there.
Today we're talking all things parenting which means that I'm going to do a lot more listening than talking as I let our guest, Amy McCready, take the wheel.
We’re going to be talking about dealing with tantrums, teaching your kids to be independent, and most importantly, that there’s no such thing as a perfect parent.
Amy was a trainer and senior manager for Fortune 500 companies when she found herself in the throes of parenting toddlers – complete with all of the yelling and temper tantrums you can imagine – and she decided there MUST be a better way.
After years of researching Adlerian Psychology and Positive Discipline, Amy put the knowledge into practice with her own family. Astounded by the transformation she experienced with her two boys, Amy knew she had to share these methods with other parents, so she created the Positive Parenting Solutions Course.
Not only is Amy a trusted teacher by over 75,000 families worldwide, but she is a valued contributor on many media outlets. Amy is a regular parenting contributor on the Today Show, has authored two best-selling books, and she has written and appeared on a plethora of other media outlets.
If you want to feel empowered at the end of the day instead of feeling like you’re failing as a parent, this is the episode for you.

Today I want to talk about why I think it’s important that you tackle these feelings before you try to work on your goals. I am also sharing my advice for overcoming all of them.
Listen up, mama. It’s time to stop telling yourself the story that you’re not good enough or that you’re failing.
Once you do that, you can start accomplishing those goals.

Do you find that being shy or introverted holds you back from going after what you really want?
Today’s guest, Cassandra Jones, knows exactly how you feel, and guess what? She also knows how to overcome it!
She’s sharing all about how she overcame her shyness to start creating the life that she really wanted and how she’s now helping other women do the same.
Cassandra is the owner of CJ Admin Solutions, LLC, a freelance at-home business she created after leaving her career of nearly two decades to spend more time with her growing family. What started as general VA services quickly up-leveled to business management services, but the most amazing and unexpected change was breaking through the crippling shyness that had kept her from advancing in her career as well as in growing her new business. Helping other women do the same became a passion and The Shy*Mama Project was born in 2021.

Do you have boundaries in your business? Are they any good?
If not, it’s not too late to get them in place or adjust them.
If you have ever interacted with me at all, you probably know that my three favorite words are communication, expectations and boundaries.
I really think that any relationship, problem, challenge or opportunity that you’re trying to navigate comes back to these three words.
In this episode, I am talking about why these things are so important (especially boundaries) and what you can do to make sure you have them set and stone while also managing client expectations!
Whether you already have boundaries or not, this episode will have some helpful tips for you.

Have you ever felt like you don’t fit in with the stay-at-home mom crowd?
Today we are joined by an honorary free mama Laura Couvillon, and she gets you.
In this episode, she is sharing her journey from event planner to stay-at-home mom to running an online business. She’s also getting real and raw about not fitting in, mommy wine culture and embracing where you are at.
Laura describes herself as a professional mullet: business in the front, party in the back. She gets stuff done, and she loves to have FUN along the way!
She spent 11 years in the corporate world working her way up the ladder where she finally landed as a show director. She planned and managed conferences and trade shows with a team of 5 all over North America. Next came marriage and three kids in a baby carriage, so she ditched corporate for a more pick-my-kids-up-from-school type of career. Her background led to an amazing career as an Integrator. Through her work, she found a need and co-founded IntegrateUp with ToriAnn Perkey to help digital entrepreneurs hire their dream team.
Today, she is passionate about matching entrepreneurs and service providers to create successful teams that fuel small business growth!
If you are wondering how you can stand out and get hired, I know you will love this refreshing episode with Laura!

Are you trying to show up for your audience in all different places?
I’m here to give you permission to stop doing that.
In this episode, I am talking to you about why you need to stop doing what other people tell you to. This has shown up multiple times for me in my own business when I see someone else doing something.
I get shiny object syndrome! Have you ever been there? This can happen when you see someone doing something, and they either tell you that you need to do it or you think you need to because it’s new or different.
I’m going to share how I have found ways to stay focused on what I love when I feel like I’m being pulled in so many different directions.
If you’re tired of trying to do things that you don’t love, this episode is just what you need to hear.

Do you feel like the business you have created isn’t exactly what you want it to be? Maybe the job you have isn’t fulfilling you in the way you expected it to?
Get this: you have the power to change it.
I’m so excited to have Jennifer Grayeb on the show today. We’re going to talk about the importance of being willing to pivot to find what you love and trusting yourself along the way.
Jennifer is the CEO of The Nimble Co., a consulting group focused on helping online business owners better understand their numbers so they can make data-driven and profit-generating marketing decisions. She recently left her senior strategy role at a Fortune 5 company where she had 6 roles in just 7 years. While in that role, in just 2 years, she built a productivity blog that reached over 2 million pageviews per year, which she went on to sell.
In every role she’s had or every company she’s owned, one thing has been consistent: she delivers results without working 80 hour weeks. Now she helps others do the same with one of her best kept secrets - data.
If you’re scared to make a change to create a life more in line with what you really want, this episode is for you.

Are you devoted to your business and to your goals?
Today I am talking about the idea of going all-in in your business and what that really looks like.
To me, this means making the things that I say that I value truly non-negotiable. At the end of the episode, I get into the definitions of words like “discipline” and “devoted” and what those mean in relation to this.
From discussing the importance of doing things that you say you’re going to do to making necessary sacrifices, this episode is short and sweet, but it’s a powerful one.

Wait… is it the end of 2020?!
This is the last episode of the year, and what a year it’s been. I know that a lot of us have been looking forward to the end of this year, but some of us have also experienced a lot of prosperity this year, and it can be really hard to reconcile those feelings.
Today I am unpacking my five biggest lessons learned in 2020. Because if we’re not learning, we’re not growing. And I think it’s really important to take a moment before we start making plans and setting goals for 2021, to look back and reflect on what went well and what didn’t go well in the last year.
Tune in to celebrate the end of the year and take a look at the things we’ve learned.

Are you trying to generate more income while also spending more time with your family?
Today we’re joined by the amazing Lisa Johnson, who is a master at doing just that.
Lisa is a multi-seven-figure business coach specializing in helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses using passive income from memberships and courses.
After a tough childhood spent in social housing, Lisa went on to have successful careers in law, banking, and the entertainment industry. Her background in overcoming obstacles has helped to mold her into a bold, straight-talking coach who is never afraid to be an authentic and outspoken truth-teller.
She's a huge believer that anyone can become a success no matter their background, and is known for her anti-bullying campaigning online.
I'm super excited to dive into passive income with her because I think it’s a term that gets thrown around a ton, but that we don’t always get the nitty gritty on. We’re also talking about the challenges of starting a business, being the realest version of yourself, and understanding your money mindset.
It’s a good one y’all. Don’t miss it!

Are you waiting for the perfect time to launch? What if the perfect time is right now?
Today I'm talking about why you should not be waiting until 2021 to start your business. I think launches are incredibly overrated, and I'm going to tell you why.
We are in the home stretch of 2020. I know you might be thinking that you are so done with this year, and you just want it to be 2021, but I want to reframe that a little.
There are still several weeks of 2020 left, so why waste them? You don't have to wait until 2021 to start your business or chase your dreams just because it's a new year. You can start right now. As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second-best time is now.

Are you always looking to the future and planning for the next big thing? Are you making time in your life to sit still and just be present?
At the beginning of the pandemic I felt called to reevaluate things in my life. I looked at my schedule, my business, and my relationships.
There was this sudden stillness thrust upon us when people stopped leaving their houses, and suddenly we weren't so caught up in the day-to-day routines and schedules.
And I realized that before the pandemic, that maybe I hadn't been creating enough space to just be.
On today’s show we are covering why it’s valuable for us to be still from time to time, and how we can use this stillness to be more present in our business and with our families.
This is a message that I have felt called to share with you, so I hope you take a few minutes to tune in! I would love to hear from you so be sure to reach out to me @laurengoldenfreemama on IG!

Have you ever been to a live event? If you just answered no, I am going to rock your world.
In this episode of Free Mama Radio, I'm going to tell you the three reasons why I absolutely MUST attend events in order to grow my business.
As a little background for you, my very first side hustle as an adult was as an event planner. So evidently, I’ve always loved events. I know it’s kind of a crazy time for events right now, and although there a lot of things I miss about in-person events, online events are really fantastic too. In some ways, even better!
In today’s episode we cover the three reasons that I try to make sure I’m attending an event every single quarter.
If you are someone who's been feeling deflated, alone, or just so tired of working IN your business instead of ON your business, I want to invite you to join us at Free Mama Live! October 1st is the last day to get your tickets to make sure you get your swag box before the event! Go to www.freemamalive.com/2020 to snag them before it’s too late!

Do you ever daydream about having your spouse working from home with you? Why not make it a reality?
Our guest, Sway Buckley, is here to teach us how to successfully go into business with your spouse.
Sway Buckley is a wife, entrepreneur, and fun-loving Jesus girl. Her first business was a tutoring company at the age of 16 years old.

When is the last time you thought about what it is you REALLY want from life?
Today we're learning from the original Boss Mom herself, Dana Malstaff. She’s sharing with us her filter on how she makes decisions and the same technique she teaches to all of her coaching students. Plus, you are going to hear me give Dana my very own secret confession.
Dana Malstaff is the CEO and Founder of Boss Mom. She launched the Boss Mom brand with her first book Boss Mom: The Ultimate Guide to Raising a Business & Nurturing Your Family Like a Pro in 2015 and that started an international movement. The Boss Mom’s Facebook community has organically grown to over 50,000 members and there are now Boss Mom local meetups in over 80 cities. Dana believes that we need to show our children that doing what we love can be financially viable-- and you know I love this too!
We’re diving into all kinds of things that can hold you back from getting what you really want from life, including saying yes to too much, comparing yourself to others, and the fear of failure. I have experienced all of these myself and I want to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did! Dana shares SO much great advice in this episode, this is going to be one you won’t want to miss!

Are you ready to dive in at the deep end and start swimming like a pro?
Don’t worry; I don’t mean literally. In this episode, I’m sharing why I think swimming is the perfect analogy for freelancing.
The question that I get asked the most is “how do I get started?”. . . Do you want to know the honest answer? You just have to go for it! No matter how long you spend walking around the pool (setting up your business), you will not be a swimmer (freelancer) until you jump on in! It requires action. So today, we’re going to tackle how you can overcome that hurdle and become a freelancer. Not just someone who talks about being one.
If you’re someone who’s scared to dip their toes in the pool, this one’s for you.

Today we are chatting about 3 things you must quit to succeed in business and life. I am a total quitter myself. If something isn’t serving me, I know I must quit it if I want to achieve my goals.
Did you know that when you focus on the RIGHT things, you don’t have to do as much? Sounds amazing, right?! As women, many of us are moms, wives, daughters, and friends. And let’s not forget about all of the other roles we play- teachers, cooks, chauffeurs, referees, and piano practice supervisors just to name a few! Many of us take on things that really don’t HAVE to be done. Quit doing that mama!
In Today’s Episode We Discuss:
- Quitting things that aren’t serving you
- Why we fill our time doing things that make us feel productive
- Showing up as the best version of yourself
- Comparing yourself to others and why you need to quit
- The importance of eliminating distractions
- Figuring out the goals and vision for your business
- Reframing comparisons into something inspirational
- Why you need to stop looking for the “easy” way to success
- Managing your expectations about what it takes to be successful

What happens when you combine an obsession with helping women succeed and the workings of an introvert performer? You get content with personality!
I'm so excited for today's episode because I'm having my very first guest on the podcast! Please allow me to introduce the NerdyGirl herself, Brittany Bullen!
Author of the books “Personality Marketing: Join Your Industry’s A-List by Embracing Your Inner Nerd” and “The Crisis of the Ordinary: What to Do If You Secretly Wish for More Than What You’ve Got,” Brittany gets SUPER NERDY about helping her clients, students, and readers follow their enthusiasm in the direction of their dreams.
When she’s not wrangling her four boys at home, you’ll find her talking strategy and sales copy while mashing her clients’ “inner potatoes” until they’re magically delicious.
Brittany saw a need to help women market their talents and services so they can create a business that generates income. That need snowballed into something much larger than what she initially thought. Now she helps women create the marketing and mindsets they need to get everything they want out of life and business.
This was such a fun episode so be sure to tune in!

Today’s episode is all about turning our mess into our message. I am going to tell you about one of the lowest points of my life and how I was able to turn it into one of the best things that ever happened to me.
If you are in a place in your life where things are not going well, I want to encourage you to use it as the fuel and fire you need to turn things around once and for all.
I never thought I'd be the entrepreneur I am today. I never realized that I could take control and choose how I live my life...until something happened that changed it all. In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how I found courage through my loss.
Like most moms, I carried a lot of guilt with loving work, but having to be away and feeling like I was not there for my family. There was guilt, too, for not pursuing the career and the 'ideal' family I wanted. I made plans in an attempt to take control - but life happens.
When all your plans seem to be falling down around you -- when you're at the lowest point in your life -- that's when you achieve clarity and the courage to take action.
Discover the three a-ha moments that propelled me to be the entrepreneur, mom, and wife I am today. Learn from my pain, mistakes, and breakthroughs so you can fast track your success.

Do you have a desire to make money from home? Years ago, my life consisted of constant exhaustion from work, toxic people, and long commutes. I was also taking care of my kids and the house and my husband was never home. I desperately wanted something different so I sat down one day and Googled "how to make money from home".
Yes, I admit, that was me. I was desperate. And that one search led me from one disappointment to another - until I found what worked for me. The thing that allowed me to be the Free Mama I am today.
In this episode, I will reveal why so many "make money from home" opportunities fail us. I know they do, because I have tried them all. I will also talk about what I discovered that allowed me to quit my job and replace my income in less than a year, working half the hours. And I am lucky enough today to have successfully taught thousands of other moms to do the same.
If you're into making money, while being an awesome mom, this is one episode you won’t want to miss!

Finally! I have been looking forward to this day for SO long! I have been thinking about doing a podcast since I launched the Free Mama Movement in 2017. If you know anything about me, you know that I am quite the prioritizer and love to achieve goals…. But, they need to be at the right time. And that time wasn’t right until now!
Like many things in life, things don’t always go as planned. I thought this launch would go differently than it has. Clearly, I didnt expect to be quarantined inside my house with 3 kids and a husband while trying to record these episodes for you. In life and in business, there are times when you have to get creative and that’s exactly what I had to do.
I am so excited for this podcast to be out in the world because everything about the Free Mama Radio mission comes back to my mission behind the Free Mama Movement. I know I was placed here so I could share the message that no mother should have to choose between family and financial stability.
I grew up with an amazing stay-at-home mom, so I thought that's what motherhood should look like. Then, I discovered that I love helping people and challenging myself. Plus, we needed the income.
Does picking one mean you fail at the other? Does pursuing financial stability mean you are putting your family second? Can’t I just have it all!?
In this episode of Free Mama Radio, I will talk about what I think being a good mom looks like and how you can be a good mom, while bringing home an income for your family if that’s what you feel called to do. I'm glad I'm no longer torn between choosing one for the other. I created a business I love, on my terms, and so can you.
