Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed? Burnt out, feeling stressed and pulled in every direction. Constantly comparing yourself to other people? Lacking in confidence, looking for ways to get motivated? Eager to find balance. All while, driving in the express lanes to make it to the next part of your day as you chug your second (or third) cup of coffee? Not to mention you are the queen of long-winded to-do lists with an ambitious dream, if only you had more time in your day. Welcome to the Best Day Podcast. The podcast for encouragement and motivation. To equip you with the pep talk you need to live your best life. To give you the tools to embrace a positive mindset and live a life you can feel good about. This podcast will help reduce the stress in your life and establish healthier habits so you can stop feeling scattered and disorganized 24/7. Hey, I’m Haley. Wife, mom, high school history teacher, and encouragement blogger over at @gracefulandfree. For the last several years, I struggled to find a healthy work-life balance. I was overcommitted, refused to say no, and worked a lot. Sacrificing my sleep and my joy, just to hustle harder, all while feeling extremely stressed and overwhelmed. And then, I became a mom, and I knew something had to give. Through embracing a positive mindset, I have found balance and established boundaries to protect my peace, so that I can live every day as the best version of yourself. So what do you say? It is time to stop feeling unmotivated, and time to say YES to living confidently, every single day, no matter what may come your way. Ready to have your best day as the best version of yourself? Well friend, grab your iced coffee and let’s get encouraged!

EP 138 // Perfectionism, Perception & People-Pleasing Holding You Back? How to Live with More Purpose, Fulfillment and Chase Your Dreams with Shannon Talbot

2/26/2024
On today's episode of the Best Day Podcast, host Haley and special guest Shannon Talbot share an honest conversation on life as busy, working moms, seeking a life full of purpose, and desperate for more work-life balance. In this episode you will find: Meet Special Guest Shannon Talbot ~ Shannon Talbot is a former Director in a big bank, former VP at an advertising agency, wife and mom of two young boys. Shannon has been featured on CBC Radio and in Today’s Parent, Chatelaine and Thrive Global. While Shannon looked successful on paper, she didn’t “feel” successful as she wasn’t good at balancing work and home, nor her stress or anxiety. With each promotion, she felt imposter syndrome and burnt out as a result of trying to prove her worth. It wasn’t until her late 30s when she finally learned that by prioritizing her well-being, she could be even more successful, at work and home. And now, as a Speaker, Author and Coach, Shannon helps other working moms to overcome self-doubt, achieve excellence, and find work-life balance while prioritizing family and personal well-being.
