Mindset & empowerment coaching for moms

Hi! I’m Elle Smith and I empower women to navigate motherhood with intention and confidence to connect back to themselves, feel seen by those around them, and step into their God-given purpose to find joy each and every day.

“Elle’s work is truly transformational. I feel I’m the kind of mom I always wished I could be – relaxed and fun – I’m a more authentic, confident, and present mama.”

– Raquel B.

Raise your hand if…

  • You’re desperate to find that same connection to yourself that you had before kids…

  • You are sick and tired of the mom-guilt and living in fear of making the wrong decision for your kids…

  • You have a deep desire to grow your career without sacrificing time with your family…

  • You want your husband to see you for the amazing and strong woman you are

  • You are ready to step into your God-given purpose, live a life of joy, and have the energy to do more…

I believe this life is so much more than keeping those tiny humans of ours alive.

But here’s the problem…

⇒ We live in a society where women are the “shock absorbers” so every time something goes wrong, we are the ones picking up the pieces – regardless of our personal pursuits.

⇒ There is a sense of expectation that the family comes first, glamorizing the selflessness of the mom.

We feel massive mom-guilt when we don’t spend every waking minute we aren’t working with our kids. 

⇒ Between work, family, husband, and home there just isn’t time for you.

⇒ Our culture doesn’t know how to create space for moms who want more so is there any point in changing it?

⇒ All we see are moms complaining they want more… but we can’t find a community to support change

⇒ It doesn’t even seem possible to have both a successful career and a thriving home life.

⇒ When we start to create a life where we “have it all” we are judged by those around us.

⇒ The corporate world doesn’t understand or support the unique challenges moms face on a daily basis.

 

⇒ There are millions of resources on how to be a good mom… not so many on how to be you, in the midst of motherhood.

What you need are simple breakthroughs and long-term change to help you find the time, energy, and a connection to yourself.

What moms are saying...

I felt comfortable working with Elle from the first moment. Sessions went through with ease and she understood everything I am going through. Prior to working with her, I struggled to set boundaries without guilt. Elle taught me to start noticing things and I realized that life was not as bad as I thought. She helped me reduce the guilt when I say no to the kids or taking time for myself!

What moms are saying...

“I have had the opportunity to do workshops with Elle, and I must admit that this busy homeschooling mom was moved to thankfulness to do so – with the whirlwind of everyday life was running away with me. I needed Elle’s kind, yet firm reminder to take the time to create space for myself. She gave me the excuse (and push!) I needed to step outside of my hectic life and to use her guidance to think deeply about my goals, schedule, priorities, and space. Her voice was sweetly inspirational. She offered hope and joy rather than shame or guilt. She gave concrete steps to take that felt do-able. I was honestly completely surprised to find that the relatively small amount of time with her had such a big impact on my day-to-day life.” 

– Erin

What moms are saying...

“As a mom, I tend to tell myself I am handling everything “fine” and then boom, overwhelm takes over. After working with Elle, I now have the tools to feel more than fine and not crash. I really enjoyed one of the worksheets she uses that makes you sit down and find the wins in your life. Elle helps to remind us that what we focus on will manifest. So if we focus on how “hard” life is, it will continue to be hard. But if we focus on the good, the wins, then we will keep taking steps towards an abundant life. Thank you so much!”

Living this intentional life as a mom is based on my four pillars…

1. Belief:

Identify and shift beliefs about who you are, what you deserve, what you are capable of, and your role in the family unit as well as your personal life.

2. Expectation:

Gain clarity around how expectations impact the decisions you make for your kids and your goals.

3. Intuition:

Settle into your intuition by identifying and owning the values that are important to you, your family, and your future.

4. Strength:

Live each day confident in who you are, what you believe, and how you are willing to function within the world. It is here that you will gain control over your time, pursuing your personal goals, and connecting deeply with your family.

So that…

You can reconnect with yourself and your personal dreams.

You have energy and clarity throughout your day to grow in your corporate career as well as being present at home.

You can drop the mom-guilt, define what’s truly important to you and your family and establish a future that aligns with those values.

You can develop a deep connection to your kids, teaching them what it means to be patient, kind, and strong.

You feel seen and appreciated for what you do by those around you.

I can’t wait to see what amazing things we can do together.

My Story…

I have always been a high achiever, pursuing growth and excellence in both my career and personal life. The time and energy placed in these areas were a top priority to me as I believed if I was the best version of myself I could be the best for those around me.

During the same time my two kids were born (a short 14 months apart), I had been promoted to Sales Director – a position I had spent years pursuing. My life was exactly what I had always dreamt it to be:

A successful career, two healthy kids, amazing marriage. From the outside, I had fulfilled the ultimate dream.

 

On the inside, I was miserable. My exhaustion had moved from a place of anger (something I had been trying to ignore) to a place of deep resentment.

 

I was resentful toward my kids that I couldn’t pursue my career the way I wanted to and I was resentful toward my career that I couldn’t be a mom the way I wanted to be.

 

It was like I had two personalities battling for their share of time and energy.

 

Ultimately, I had gotten to a point where I had convinced myself what I should be doing in both of these roles:

I should be sacrificial of everything to give my kids the life they deserve – sacrificial of time, energy, sleep, food, exercise, mental stability, and more – just so they felt cared for and safe.

I should be committed to my job, growth of the team, leadership, and increase in year-over-year revenue regardless of what it took to get there.

And I had convinced myself that I SHOULD be able to do both.

 

But the reality is that the more I pushed to fulfill these “shoulds” in my life, the more I felt like a complete failure.

I had a decision to make: Continue to push the way I had been because ultimately this was what I saw all my other mom-friends doing, or buck the norm and create my own path.

I chose the latter.

 

Over the years, I have established a new rhythm and re-shifted what it meant to be a successful mom and high-achieving career woman in my own world.

 

It meant:

Letting go of what was expected of me from others and connecting deeply with the values that were important to me as a mom.

Connecting to my own intuition and establishing boundaries around what worked for our family.

Changing my internal dialogue from “I’m a failure because I can’t do it all” to “I am more than enough to do what is best for myself and my family.”

 

And, yes, there are still hard days – because, let’s be honest, motherhood is hard – but they are fewer than they were before.

And instead of being constantly tuned into the pain and doubt of my value as a mom, I am not tuned into the needs of myself, my kids, and yes my husband.

It’s about what’s important to us, not fulfilling a created (and unrealistic) reality of what it means to be a successful working mom. 

If you are one of my people, don’t wait another day.

Your life is worth it – you are worth it.

Let’s see what amazing things we can create together.
