***TOP 5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST***
// Life Planning Tools for Moms Who Want to Make a Difference //
Do you miss that accomplished woman you used to be? Do you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again, beyond the pressure of being a “perfect mom”?
Are you a high achiever feeling lost and overwhelmed by the daily chaos of motherhood? Do you wish you had more time for your own goals and passions?
Welcome to the Achieve Your Ambitious Mom Life podcast! Here, you’ll discover how to create a balanced life you love at home and at work through purposeful planning.
Hi! I’m Anokhi, a PhD researcher, work-from-home business owner, and homeschooling mom of 2 boys. As a new mom with a successful professional career, I thought I could handle juggling my job, family time, and self-care.
But instead, I lost sight of who I was, I sacrificed things that were important to me, and I became a workaholic to cope with having to do it all. I found myself busy all the time without a larger vision for a meaningful life.
To regain control, I did what was natural to me. I leaned into scientific frameworks to create a roadmap aligning MY purpose, core values, and career path, NOT someone else’s expectations.
Now, each transition in motherhood is an opportunity for me to reset my schedule and create more freedom whether it be creative, intellectual, financial, time, or space…
As your weekly life coach, I’ll show you how to:
🎯 Overcome identity loss with self-discovery tools
🎯 Create work-life balance and flexibility
🎯 Win back time and energy with consistent habits & routines
🎯 See past endless daily tasks & decisions using simple systems
🎯 Prioritize what brings you joy
🎯 Pivot to a flexible job like remote work, freelancing, part-time, or homeschooling
In this journey to create a life that you truly desire, it’s time to rediscover your dreams and Achieve Your Ambitious Mom Life!
