If you’ve been trying to “think positive” your way through business while juggling motherhood - and it’s not working - this episode is your exhale. I’m joined by mindset and empowerment coach Jess Soto-Ramirez, and we go deep on doing the real inner work: noticing the negative chatter, naming your limiting beliefs, and building self-belief that actually holds on the messy days.

Jess shares her story and how business can be a spotlight on every insecurity we haven’t faced yet. We talk about why generic affirmations fall flat, how to reframe identity as a mum in business, and the tiny word that changes everything: and. You can be a devoted mum and an ambitious founder.

We cover:


The difference between toxic positivity and grounded mindset work


Spotting limiting beliefs: persistent thoughts, triggers, and “the backpack of beliefs”


A practical tool to separate you from the inner critic (give her a name!)


Jess’s “flip it and reverse it” method for reframing thoughts you’re stuck in


Identity shifts after kids, and using and to hold multiple truths


Defining your version of success so the outside noise gets quieter

Things to try this week:


Notice 1 persistent thought that keeps looping. Write it down.


Ask: What’s this about? Where did it come from? Is it really mine?


“Flip & reverse” it into a truer statement you can practice when the chatter starts.
