Jacki Carr: How to Embrace Change + Explore Identity Offline Artwork

MotherLoad Podcast

MotherLoad speaks to the massive, multi-facetted load that ambitious women are under managing the feelings of simultaneously wanting to succeed in their work and also be devoted mothers. It requires an intentional increase and great management of their mental, emotional, and physical capacity, a big task for anyone, let alone a busy mama. This podcast explores the tried and true practices, structures, and secrets of doing both things with excellence. We cover topics like inner work, mindset calibration, business strategy, conscious communication, personal wellbeing, and more, in an effort to help ambitious mamas feel like they can do ALL of their roles well. Join us weekly for solo episodes with host Lindsay Roselle and guest interviews with an array of high-achieving leaders discussing their relationship with motherhood and how it’s impacted their success. Each week you’ll walk away with inspirational stories, actionable insights, and impactful practices to incorporate into your life that will increase your capacity to manage the load of entrepreneurial ambition and devotion to motherhood.

Jacki Carr: How to Embrace Change + Explore Identity Offline

May 08, 2023 • Lindsay Roselle • Episode 57

Today I’m bringing back the one and only Jacki Carr, a dear friend of mine, goal coach, writer, speaker, and most importantly, a mother of 3 beautiful daughters.

We talk about Jacki’s recent decision to leave Instagram (along with the impact it has had on her business), the bold and crazy moves that her family are about to make, the evolution of parenting, and how she's navigating change and the motherload.

I always love chatting with Jacki - she always has so much wisdom to offer and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

Why Jacki had a “full body” decision to leave Instagram after experiencing stagnance in her creativity, plus, the mental preparation it took and new frameworks she hopes to incorporate that better align with her values
How social media burnout led Jacki to take an energetic audit to see where her time was being spent
Jacki’s new Substack, which has become a space of authenticity and a more potent container for her love of long-form writing
The bold, brave, and beautiful decision behind Jacki’s upcoming move from Colorado to the coast of Maine
How comfort can actually lead us down a path of misalignment
