    AP 777: How to Find Yourself After the Kids Grow Up (Identity After Motherhood) || Coaching Call with Shelly
    Apr 20 2026
    In a recent coaching session, Shelly shared her journey of grappling with shifting roles and the pressing question, "Who am I now?" This resonates with many women in transition, as life’s changes often unravel our established identities. The path to rediscovering ourselves doesn’t require an Eat, Pray, Love-type journey; instead, it’s about embracing small, meaningful actions that gradually rebuild our identity and trust. Rediscovery is an ongoing process rooted in everyday exploration. Whether trying a new restaurant, journaling to capture your thoughts, or revisiting old hobbies, every choice strengthens your sense of self. In these small moments, you uncover who you truly are beyond the roles you’ve known. Embrace this season of transition as a space for growth and self-discovery. Preorder Sticky Habits ⁠book today!

    Apr 18 2026
    If you've ever felt like something was missing even when life looked perfect from the outside, this clip is for you. Vanessa Quigley opens up about the season of her life when she had everything she thought she wanted — and still wasn't happy. She shares how learning to embrace all parts of herself, not just her role as a mother, became the key to genuine personal growth and development. Whether you're craving more "me time," dreaming of a new chapter, or just trying to figure out how to feel happy again, Vanessa's honest take on seasons of life and self-care for mothers is both refreshing and freeing. Because being a good mom and becoming more fully yourself? Those aren't opposites — they're the same journey.

  • AP 776: Remember When: 2019

    AP 776: Remember When: 2019
    Apr 16 2026
    In 2019, I found myself balancing the demands of being a mom to four kids while taking my podcast and business more seriously. I hired help to manage my time, launched new rounds of my progress program, and explored collaborations with guest teachers. Looking back, I am proud of the strides made toward expanding the diversity of guests and topics on About Progress. As we head into the 10th anniversary of the podcast, these lessons from 2019 continue to shape our path forward, bridging gaps and creating a richer space for personal development rooted in authenticity and varied experiences.
