31: That Didn't Go to Plan... (My Honest Season Review)

Kim DiFillippo — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 19:31:30 GMT

Somewhere between the pneumonia, the sinus infections, and honestly just the state of the world — three months passed. And I had done almost none of what I planned. And I'm still so fucking proud of my growth—both personally and professionally. Say what now?!

In this episode I'm doing my full honest season review: what I wrote down in December, what actually happened, what didn't, and what it all keeps teaching me about why you cannot hustle your way to peace, freedom, and safety.

If you've ever had the sneaking suspicion that no matter how much you do, how much you prove, how much you produce — the life that actually feels good just keeps moving further away — this one's for you.

In this episode:

Why I plan in seasons instead of quarters
My actual December goals vs. what really happened
The business wins that had nothing to do with content or hustle
The personal growth that mattered more than any metric
How to do your own seasonal review

30: How to talk to your kids when big, heavy shit is happening (and how to take action that matters)

Kim DiFillippo — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 21:54:25 GMT

Okay friends, real talk. The world feels heavy right now. Like really heavy. And if you're a mom trying to figure out what the hell to say to your kids about what's happening with ICE, immigration, the current US administration, and honestly just... everything... while also trying to run your business and keep your own nervous system from completely short-circuiting—I see you.

I’m right there with you, and this episode is for you.

We're talking about how to have these conversations with your kids in age-appropriate ways (because what you say to a 4-year-old is VERY different from what you say to a 13-year-old), how to show up and take actual action even when your capacity feels maxed out, and how to keep running your business when everything feels like it's falling apart.

Because here's the thing: burying our heads in the sand isn't the vibe. But neither is doom-scrolling until 2am while your nervous system completely dysregulates. There's a middle ground, and we're gonna find it together.

In this episode, we cover:

The ONE thing your kids need from you more than information (hint: it has to do with your nervous system)
How to talk to kids ages 3-18 about heavy world events without traumatizing them OR lying to them
Why teaching critical thinking skills to your kids right now might be the most important thing you do
The low, medium, and high-risk ways you can take action—even if you only have $5 and 10 minutes
How to keep your business running when you don't have the privilege to just pause everything
What to do when you're rebuilding your life AND trying to show up for the world (because yes, you can do both)

29: The realities of being called to both stay at home motherhood AND running a business

Kim DiFillippo — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 00:04:02 GMT

One of the realities about being called to both of these is that our capacity (both mentally and actual time) is often very limited.

And I’m no different! Especially in this season of single motherhood.

So there’s no fancy show notes written, and I didn’t get this up as quickly as I’d have liked.

But I’m walking my talk. And done is better than perfect. ;)

This conversation has been coming up a lot with clients and friends recently, so let’s talk about the realities of being called to both present motherhood AND running a business!

I hope you’ll join in the conversation in the FB group (link below!), but at the very least, I hope to normalize some of this real life stuff for you!

And as a thank you for your time, I'll be giving away a $10 gift card of your choice to someone who listens to the replay (in the group or on the podcast…I know y’all are busy mamas!) and leaves a comment on the post in the group to participate in the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/kim.difillippo1/videos/1969806670107384

28: The narratives about motherhood and being a woman that are keeping us stuck, and what to do about them

Kim DiFillippo — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 23:21:53 GMT

You crave rest, time freedom, spaciousness, and to be able to actually do things you want to do. (Both with your kids and without.) After all, doesn’t it seem like that’s what you’re supposed to get when you run your own business?!

But in reality, you never take that time. Or if you do, you feel so horribly guilty or even shameful that you don’t enjoy it and rarely do it again. Especially if your kids are home! WTF is up with that?!

This is a conversation I’ve been seeing come up with clients and friends in the last week, and I think we need to talk about it! Because I believe that we all deserve that spaciousness, presence, rest, and freedom, and that it’s totally possible. But unfortunately it’s harder than it sounds to get, and I’ll explain why.

That’s why I went live in my free private Facebook group, Both/And Mamas, to talk about the narratives about motherhood and being a woman that are keeping us stuck, and what to do about them.

I’ll be diving into 4 of the deeply ingrained narratives about motherhood and being a woman that I see affecting so many of us, where they come from, and what to do about them so that you can start building safety in rest, spaciousness, and time for yourself.

And as a thank you, I'll be giving away a $10 gift card of your choice to someone who joins me live or catches the replay (in the group or on the podcast…I know y’all are busy mamas!) and leaves a comment on the post in the group to participate in the conversation by Wednesday Oct. 9, 2024. Here's the direct link: https://www.facebook.com/kim.difillippo1/videos/511638274912632

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and experiences on this one!

27: The shift in the online space and how to bounce back from lost revenue

Kim DiFillippo — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 21:32:01 GMT

If you’ve had clients leave, felt like selling seemed to get harder, and/or noticed a significant revenue drop in the last year, you’re not alone. (But so many of you feel like you are!)

This is something I’m seeing and hearing come up A LOT this year with clients, peers, and even mentors from coaching to done-for-you services like VA/OBM and podcast management. So let’s talk about it!

That’s why I went live this week in my free private Facebook group, Both/And Mamas, to talk about the shift in the online space and how to bounce back from lost revenue.

I shared insights about conversations I’ve been having with clients and peers from many different business models, what I’ve seen in my own businesses, and what you can do about it to get back on track now and build your business moving forward in a way that can weather future ebbs and flows.

And as a thank you, I'll be giving away a $10 gift card to someone who joined me or catches the replay (in the group or on the podcast…I know y’all are busy mamas!) and leaves a comment on the post in the group to participate in the conversation by Wed Sept. 25th--> https://www.facebook.com/1859557217884773/videos/1050681666292071

I hope to see you there!

26: A vulnerable BTS of my starting over journey in life and business

Kim DiFillippo — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 20:01:10 GMT

In the last episode I talked about how I built my first business, left my career in medicine, and built it up to a podcast agency with a team of 11 making consistent $25k+ months in revenue.

AND I shared on an IG story recently that I’ve currently got 5 part time gigs going on to add up to one full time income, including my podcast business. I’ve shared publicly that my first business is down to just me again with a small handful of podcast clients, I have this coaching business as well, and that I’ve been a single mom for the last year and a half.

Both are true.

So you may be wondering what happened. Why I need all those part time gigs to make one full time income when my business was making $25k+ months. Why I’m not running the podcast agency anymore.

So last week I went live in my FB group, Both/And Mamas, to break it down for you (and I’m bringing you the replay via your podcast player!) with a super vulnerable BTS (behind the scenes) look at the transition including the whys, the why nots, and the lessons I’ve learned from this journey. 💙

TW: DV/emotional abuse/verbal abuse/financial abuse mostly (I mention nothing at all graphic, but putting this out there so you can decide if it feels right for you to listen or not in this moment, or to take care of yourself as you do if you need it.)

25: How I built what became a multi-six figure podcast agency while working full time and momming

Kim DiFillippo — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 13:13:32 GMT

If you’re working on growing your business so you can leave a job that keeps you away from home and have more freedom to be home full time with your little(s)—especially if you have to work full time in that job to pay the bills or because there is no part time option in your current career—this one’s for you, babe.

I’ve been there and in this episode I’m sharing my story of how and why I built my first business while working full time as a Physician Assistant and being a mama to a 2 and 4 year old (and the sole income earner in my family), and how I planned for and executed the transition out of my medical career and into “full time” (part time hours) entrepreneurship.

I’m not going to claim it’s easy, but it IS doable, and in my experience, well worth it. 💖

24: My Favorite Time Management and Planning Tips for Entrepreneur Mamas

Kim DiFillippo — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 11:37:40 GMT

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last 6 years as a mom and entrepreneur dedicated to working in part time hours is that planning ahead for what you need and want to get done in your business (and life!) is so so helpful if you want to make the most of the time you do have to work towards your goals.

AND.

I also have learned that if you try to map out every minute of every day and have it on such a tight schedule that if it doesn’t get done when you plan to, shit falls apart pretty quickly when kids are in the mix. 🤪

That’s why I’m bringing you this episode to break down my favorite tips and the tools—including the exact ones I use!—for doing this in a balanced way that allows you to be intentional with your time, make progress towards your goals, decrease the mental load you’re carrying, AND leave room for presence with your family, schedule and capacity changes, and for life to life. 💙

23: The One With All the Updates...

Kim DiFillippo — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 20:21:10 GMT

It's been a hot minute since my last episode as single mama summer summered this year, ;) but school starts back up tomorrow and I'm BACK! In this episode, I'm sharing what we’ve been up to this summer and a big new change in how I show up online and share value (as well as market) for my business. And I'm breaking down what that looks like, what it means for the podcast, and why I'm making the switch. I'm so pumped to be back with you (and getting back into the school routine!)

22: An Easeful Summer Mindset Practice

Kim DiFillippo — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 22:47:38 GMT

When you’re really working to create the life you desire in your personal life, motherhood, individuality, and business, yes, strategy IS an important piece there. But another BIG piece is mindset.

But when you’re overwhelmed, sleep deprived, under-resourced, or schedules change unexpectedly…it’s natural to slip into a not so positive headspace—even if you consider yourself a pretty positive person generally! And I know that time is extra limited during the summer when the kids are home.

That’s why I created this episode for you, using one of my favorite mindset practices to do when things are busy (like the summer!), sharing many of the exact affirmations I’m working on for myself lately—plus a few that have really resonated with my clients—because I think many of them will likely resonate with you as well.

So if you need a little mindset pick-me-up or just want some inspo for your own affirmations game, pop those earbuds in and listen to this as often as you want when it’s the most easeful for you!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How to customize these—or any!—affirmations so that they work for YOU and your brain better
Some of my fave tweaks to try if affirmations haven’t generally worked well for you in the past
My current favorite affirmations you can listen to on repeat (starting at 9:19)
And THIS bonus tip to make them even more effective

21: Both/And Motherhood Freedom

Kim DiFillippo — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 17:47:20 GMT

Sure, you may have started your business with the idea of being your own boss or making more money or just trying to figure out how to work from home. But I’m willing to bet that it was actually the desire for FREEDOM of some sort that was underneath your path here. Sound true?

Maybe it was the freedom to do something just for you, to work around your kids, to make money for yourself so that you weren’t dependent on a partner, or any other flavor…it’s usually there underneath this path to entrepreneurship.

I’m all about helping you create freedom in your life and business and I’d love for you to join me for this episode as I help you connect (or reconnect with!) YOUR version of both/and motherhood freedom, how to start embodying it, and why it’s so important to get clarity around.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Expanding and exploring the definition of freedom
A mutually hard part and blessing of running your own business
How I feel about the idea of “having it all”
A breakdown of freedom vs your “why”
How to find and connect—or reconnect—with YOUR version of both/and motherhood freedom so that you can cultivate it faster

12: Is Balance a Myth?

Kim DiFillippo — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:00:00 GMT

I’m guessing you started your business because you, too, wanted to get to actually BE there and experience your life, right? For your kids, for your relationships, and for yourself. And you’ve probably figured out that you don’t magically get a sense of balance, freedom, and spaciousness just because you have your own business (in fact, I often see it feel the other way around at first!) BUT it IS possible. And it’s my mission to help you get there.

That’s why today I want to talk to you about balance. I’m breaking down what balance does and doesn’t mean to me, why it’s now a core piece of my work, and my fave practical and somatic tips to help you start improving your sense of balance NOW (even if you came into this episode thinking the idea of balance is a myth!)

The struggle of working from home amidst friends and family who have traditional jobs
Practical and somatic steps you can start taking TODAY to start increasing your own sense of balance and resource yourself
And more!

5: My Fave Way to Uplevel Your Mindset Game and Move Things Through Your Body

Kim DiFillippo — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 16:52:00 GMT

This ain’t your mama’s mindset practice. ;) Mindset work is taught SO many different ways by so many different people. But the way I look at mindset work, is doing things that make you feel good and allow you to show up in the world the way you want to, as a business owner AND a mom.

And the thing that REALLY shifted and upleveled my own mindset game and allowed me to go from feeling overwhelmed AF, like I couldn’t take a deep breath, and unable to rest or relax even when I had built an amazing team and a business that was making plenty of money and meant that I didn’t have to work a bazillion hours, to being able to hold the hard times in life and business, hold my business and my kids through a REALLY rough year personally, actually take true restful time OFF for myself, lots of truly present time with my kids, and really and truly feeling PEACE regardless of what was going on in my business…

That was bringing somatic/physical components into my mindset practice. And in today’s episode I’m gonna teach it to you and show you how to make it your own. Let’s go!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why bringing your body into your mindset practice is so important and beneficial
And this super fun, simple practice you can do in 10 minutes or less!
