In this episode I interview Sandra Hodzic, a corporate innovation consultant and toddler #boymom, who began her life in Canada at the age of 9 after leaving the Balkan region of Europe.

As a fellow mama in her 30’s, Sandra and I deep dive into so many hot topics for women raising children and pursuing soul-aligned work throughout this age/stage of our lives.

We touch on:

- Feeling unaligned with the former internal drivers of busyness, hustle culture and chasing “girlboss” status.

- Balancing the desire to achieve and be successful, with the call to become more slow and intentional in this season of life and motherhood.

- How growing her spiritual connection over the past few years has helped her stay grounded and alive within the chaos of all that’s gone on, globally and individually.

- Noticing where we might have equated our worth in our 20’s or earlier stages and realizing how that was probably misplaced on something completely irrelevant.

- The power we have as millennial women to opt-out of the systems that were not designed for us and our ultimate well-being.

- Becoming unapologetic about what we want as women and our generation’s leaders and how to bring about a cultural shift in more equitable directions.

- The feeling of “walking between two worlds” as a first generation Canadian who still desires a strong a connection to her culture of origin.

- Sandra’s journey of “belonging” and how it has influenced her in both motherhood and business/leadership.

- Bridging the gap between the trauma experienced as a child of war to raising a toddler in Canada in 2022.

- How to navigate difficult discussions on parenting with elders/previous generations.

- Deepening your confidence and self-trust by embracing a “less is more” mentality when it comes to explaining yourself.
