Kayla is joined by trial attorney Jefferson Fisher, who has gained millions of followers across social media by sharing his professional knowledge with the world on how to communicate better. It’s not just the words itself but the tone and even the silence we use or don’t use that impacts how others perceive us. Whether it be in professional or personal settings, we all could benefit from being more intentional with what we say and how we say it. Or what we choose not to say at all! Follow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/ Follow Jefferson:https://www.instagram.com/jefferson_fisher/https://links.jeffersonfisher.com/Follow Kayla:https://www.instagram.com/kaylaewell/

Kayla is finally joined by family therapist and yes, her mother Susan Ewell for this touching conversation between not just mother and daughter but two mothers as well. We learn about Susan’s lore before even becoming a mother and the turning point in which she decided to prioritize her childrens’ early years over her career. She offers thoughtful, emphatic advice on parenthood and shares, in her professional opinion, what she feels are the different challenges with the new generation post-pandemic. Mistakes might happen but we’ll be OK. Follow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/ 

Kayla is joined by author, speaker, and productivity coach Laura Mae Martin to discuss how her years at Google taught her the ways in which we can actually use our much needed downtime to optimize our work time flow. As the Executive Productivity Advisor at Google in the office of the CEO, Laura has helped everyone from high-level executives to her fellow parents at home on how to nail down when in the day they’re actually the most productive and create habits that allow us to make the most use of that precious time. Instead of burning the candle at both ends, what if we slowed down and actually savored the quiet when we’re able to get it? Follow LauraInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauramaemartinCheck out “UPTIME: A Practical Guide to Personal Productivity and Wellbeing” :https://lauramaemartin.com/bookFollow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/ 

Sharing another podcast we’re loving: Pop Culture Moms. Andie and Sabrina are toddler moms and best friends of 20 years. They’re taking their obsession with TV and movies to the next level by talking to celebrities, writers and fellow “scholars” of pop culture about what they can learn from the fictional moms they love most. In this episode, “Euphoria” actress Alanna Ubach talks about the pros and cons of being a “cool mom” like her character Suze Howard — a trope made famous by the original “Mean Girls” movie.
