  • How Executive Moms Can Ditch the Pressure and Actually Enjoy Your Summer

    How Executive Moms Can Ditch the Pressure and Actually Enjoy Your Summer
    Jun 11 2026
    Summer is a unique season for working moms. While social media reminds us that we "only get 18 summers" with our kids, many executive moms are simultaneously leading teams, managing projects, running businesses, navigating camp schedules, and juggling childcare logistics. The result? A lot of pressure to make every moment count. In this final episode of Season 2, Leanna explores how high-achieving women can approach summer with more intention and less pressure. Instead of focusing on creating the perfect summer experience, she invites listeners to focus on something much more powerful: how they want to show up during the moments that matter. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "18 summers" narrative can create unnecessary pressure and guilt The difference between controlling external circumstances and choosing how you want to show up How unrealistic expectations often lead to disappointment Practical mindset shifts for staying calm and grounded when things don't go according to plan Why curiosity is more helpful than self-criticism when reflecting on difficult moments How to approach summer intentionally while balancing the realities of work and family life Plus, Leanna shares a free Summer Guide designed specifically for executive moms who want to approach the season with greater clarity, alignment, and self-compassion. Download the free Summer Guide, a framework for intentionally designing your summer. And if you’re ready to design your ideal career and life, The Executive Mom Reset can help you do just that.

    May 21 2026
    In this powerful and perspective-shifting episode, Leanna Laskey McGrath sits down with Anna Malaika Tubbs, renowned author, speaker, and advocate for examining the narratives that shape how we see ourselves and each other. Anna shares her global upbringing and how it shaped her understanding of identity, belonging, and cultural storytelling. Together, they explore the importance of elevating voices and histories that have been overlooked or erased (particularly women’s and mother’s stories), and how storytelling can be a tool for connection, healing, and change. This conversation goes beyond theory and into real life, touching on motherhood, raising children with awareness, and the responsibility we carry as leaders, parents, and individuals to question inherited narratives. For high-achieving women, executive leaders, and mothers, this episode is both grounding and expansive, an invitation to think more critically, lead more intentionally, and bring more awareness to what stories are shaping our beliefs. In This Episode, We Discuss: How our upbringing shapes the way we see the world The impact of inherited narratives and cultural conditioning Why storytelling matters in leadership, motherhood, and identity Raising children with awareness, empathy, and intentionality The importance of questioning systems and assumptions How curiosity and compassion can create deeper human connection What it means to lead and parent with greater consciousness Connect with Anna Malaika Tubbs: Anna Malaika Tubbs Official Website @annamalaikatubbs on Instagram Read New York Times Bestseller The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of MLK Jr., Malcolm X, and James Brown Shaped a Nation Read instant New York Times Bestseller and USA Today National Bestseller Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us Connect with Leanna Laskey McGrath: Coach Leanna website Linkedin
