In this episode of Mindful & Mighty, we sit down with Alicia — a mom, leader, immigrant, wife, daughter and unapologetic hard-worker — to explore what it really looks like to build a career and a family at the same time.

Alicia shares her inspiring journey from arriving in Canada with a five-year plan, to building a career, starting a family, and juggling bottles, conference calls, and business decisions — sometimes all at once.

This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply relatable. We talk about:

• 🍼 The realities of balancing motherhood with a demanding career

• 💼 The pressure to perform at work while being present at home

• ❤️ The role of supportive partners, colleagues, and community

• 🌱 What growth looks like when life is full and time is scarce

• 🔥 The difference between being “busy” and being purposeful

Alicia reminds us that pursuing ambition doesn’t require choosing one identity over another — it requires clarity, support, compassion, and sometimes… feeding a baby during Zoom calls.

Whether you're building a business, a family, a career, or all three — this one’s for you.
