The days between Christmas and New Year carry a unique, quieter energy — a pause before the pressure of January sets in. In this episode, Alicia invites working moms to slow down, breathe, and rethink the idea that dreams can only begin when life finally “calms down.” Through a relatable story about watercoloring in the middle of a noisy living room with kids underfoot, Alicia shares a powerful truth: if moms wait for perfect conditions, their dreams may stay on the back burner forever. Motherhood doesn’t cancel dreams — it changes how they happen. This episode is a gentle reminder that progress doesn’t have to be aesthetic to be meaningful. Dreams can be pursued in fragments, in messy houses, with interruptions, and in the middle of real life. You don’t need January 1st, a clean home, kid-free hours, or total clarity to begin. You’ll hear encouragement to release “New Year, New You” pressure, embrace imperfect action, and give yourself permission to start — tired, unsure, and exactly as you are. If you’re a working mom longing to reconnect with what lights you up, this episode will help you feel grounded, hopeful, and empowered to take the next small step toward your dreams — right where you are.
