S11 E191: Achieving Success Without Sacrifice: Tabitha's Story
~Grab the Complimentary Empowered Working Mom Mini Guide HERE~
As a doer, how many times have you leaned on the support of others? As a doer, how many times have you sacrificed your time, health, self-respect, and faith to meet the expectations of others?
In this episode of Empowering the Working Mom Podcast, Latika shares the story of Tabitha from the Bible. As a doer and server of her community, Tabitha ensured that everyone had what they needed. But, one day, she fell ill and died. Although she was resurrected, many working mothers are like Tabitha who sacrifice themselves to meet the needs of others. It is time to make the uncomfortable and hard decision for others, but comfortable and easy decision for yourself, to no longer sacrifice yourself for others.
Key Empowering Moments:
You have the choice!
You have to understand what your limits or boundaries are!
You have to practice self-care! (but not in the way you think of self-care)

S11 E188: Achieving Success Without Sacrifice: Sarah's Story
According to Forbes.com, 75% of U.S. women executives struggle with imposter syndrome. What about you? As a working mom, leader, career-driven professional, or entrepreneur, what do you struggle with?
In this episode of Empowering the Working Mom Podcast, Latika Vines shares the three things working moms, most commonly, struggle with: Fear, Identity, and Uncertainty and how to overcome them by using the Biblical example of Sarah. If you are not familiar with Sarah, please read Genesis chapters 11 through 17; however, Latika shares a quick introduction of Sarah and the promise God gave her. Rather than wait on God, she allowed Perfectionism to distract her from waiting on God's promise to be fulfilled, thus leading her to have fear, identity, and uncertainty trap her into doing something she later regretted.
Join Latika as she explores Sarah's story as a lesson to help us overcome fear, identity, and uncertainty issues so that you can achieve success without sacrifice.

S10 E177: Being Called to More [End of Season 10]
In the previous episode, it was encouraged to conduct an internal evaluation of how you show up in your career as a working mom; and Proverbs 31:11-17 was the foundational scripture used to conduct the evaluation. But, the question remains, "How are you showing up in your career as a working mom?"
In this episode, Latika provides three questions that a working mom should ask herself to assess her presence in her career.
Are you showing up in your career aggressively, assertively, or passively?
Who in your village is supporting your career presence?
How are you growing in your career?
Latika encourages working moms to ask the above questions to ensure they are experiencing the abundance God desires for them, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 NIV.
About Latika: Latika empowers working moms to get back to their Career Visions so they can feel fulfilled and live life abundantly by taking the initiative in having God bridge the gap between their balance and careers. Latika utilizes her real-life, coaching and training experience to empower working moms at Visionary Initiatives, LLC.

S10 E176: You Got This!
Do you read Proverbs 31 as a checklist or guide? Do you read it as a comparison or resource? Does it empower you or drain you?
In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika reviews Proverbs 31:11-17. In this passage, King Lemuel describes the characteristics of a virtuous woman and Godly wife, a vital lesson his mother taught him. The reading of this passage is not intended to be a checklist, rather a guide to help working moms become the woman God created you to be, as you serve and build God’s kingdom.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Are you trustworthy at work? Do you keep your word? Are you committed to doing the work?
Are you settling or quiet quitting? Are you doing your best at work? Even if you are not in your Career Vision, are you striving to get there in 2024?
Are you procrastinating?
Are you taking care of business in the office? Are you completing tasks on time? Are you communicating effectively?
Are you striving to be excellent in your Career Vision? Do you go beyond the call of duty or do you perform at the bare minimal?
Reading Proverbs 31:11-17 was a reminder to tell you that you are a virtuous woman and Godly wife, and to remind you that you continue to get better every day, and every year. Even if some of the responses to the above questions were not favorable, you have the knowledge to do better - when you know better, you do better!
You have what it takes to be the career driven woman that God called you to be - you have the characteristics and strength because God gave it to you, it’s innate. But, sometimes you have to be reminded that its there. So, view today's episode as your reminder that you got this!

S10 E170: Gather the Pieces
Have you been overwhelmed with the lack of growth in your career? Do you feel stuck in your position, not knowing how to move forward? Have you been struggling with finding the perfect position?
In this season of transition, God is opening His arms to you, inviting you to be in His presence. You will find that when you are in His presence, allowing Him to be your focal point, He will ensure you are receiving growth, promotion, and recognition when you align with His will for your career.
In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares why working moms should gather their careers and workpieces and be in alignment with God's vision for their careers. In John 6:12 NIV it says, "when they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, 'gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.' " Jesus is telling us to gather all of our career/workpieces - experience, talents, ideas, energy, and time and give them to God. When God is the focal point of your career, He will gather the pieces, not waste any of them, and align your steps to the destiny He created for you.

S10 E169: Coping with Emotional Demands
As a working mom, the emotional demands you have to carry are inescapable. Emotional demands could include mom guilt, anxiety, and being overwhelmed with balancing work and life. However, you cannot fix, control, and manage the emotional demands of everyone (e.g. children, husband, colleagues, relatives, situations, tasks, etc...) and everything. By doing so, you add additional weight on your shoulders while suppressing your feelings, needs, and desires. So, how do you cope with the inescapable emotional demands?
In today's episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares three ways working moms can cope with emotional demands, based on Luke 10:41-42 NIV.
Make God your priority concern
Mind your Business
Just Be Present
If you have been overwhelmed with the emotional demands you carry, this episode is for you.

S10 E165: I'm Leaving at 3, if Not Earlier
Working Moms shouldn't, but they are often forced to choose between their families or careers. And, towards the end of the workday, they have to choose between leaving on time to get ahead of the traffic to pick up their children from school. This becomes a disadvantage for working moms as they attempt to balance both work and family.
Have you ever heard of the 3 p.m. disadvantage? In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika defines the 3 p.m. disadvantage that many working moms experience; while sharing various ways they can view the disadvantage as a blessing - a blessing to identify what they need to decrease their anxiety and truly integrate their work and family into one life.

S10 E164: People Pleasing Does Not Look Good on You
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, people pleasing is defined as "someone who cares a lot about whether people like him or her and always wants others to approve his or her actions." (Cambridge Dictionary, 2023) Have you found yourself caring more about someone else's view of you, rather than your own? Have you found yourself caring more for a person, more than you care for yourself?
People pleasing can stem from childhood trauma or any other trauma in your life, but the effects of it can be hard to overcome. In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares how people pleasing can stem from neglect and abandonment, or any other trauma you experienced in the past. And, she identifies five (5) ways you can overcome and stop people pleasing, so you can find your inner worth and value because it doesn't look good on you.
1. Remind yourself what God promised you
2. Be true to yourself, stop trying to fit in
3. Have healthy boundaries, with yourself and others
4. Spend time alone, with God
5. Understand that you can’t please anyone but yourself

S10 E162: Taking Care of Self
How do you take care of yourself when you have so many priorities to juggle? How do you prioritize yourself in the mix?
In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, our guest Chari Twitty-Hawkings shares 5 tips to help working moms overcome burnout and being overwhelmed with self-care. Her tips include:
Admit that you are burned out
Ask yourself, "what am I going to do to take care of me?"
Don't feel bad for being/feeling burned out
Make yourself a priority
Show yourself grace
You may have heard these tips before, but Chari shares her personal story of how she has included the above 5 tips into her daily life. Her tips are for every working mom (and dad) who has those good and bad days of too much to juggle and knows they have to keep going. But, they know that they have to take the moments to take care of themselves even in the midst of juggling it all. As you listen to the episode, take mental notes and implement the tips Chari provides.
About Chari: Chari is a dedicated advocate for moms of faith, guiding them on a transformative journey through speaking and coaching to overcome burnout and overwhelm while prioritizing self-care, self-awareness, and self-compassion. With a heart firmly rooted in her Christian faith, Chari draws upon her real-life experiences as a mother of twins, a busy 9-year-old, a devoted wife, and a thriving mompreneur to illuminate the path towards renewed vitality and purpose. Chari's intimate understanding of the challenges that women face is the driving force behind her mission. She recognizes the tendency to put others first and neglect one's own needs, often leading to a cycle of exhaustion, frustration, and a sense of insignificance. Her journey as a wife, a nurturer of her children, and a purpose-driven entrepreneur has fueled her determination to help others reclaim their identities and establish balance.

S9 E160: Your Foundation as a Working Mom [End of Season 9]
As a working mom, your Foundation for a Satisfying Marriage, Great Motherhood Experience, and Rewarding Career must be strong. Compare it to a juggler or entertainer who is juggling 3 balls; they must have his/her feet grounded on the ground and their core must be strong to balance the 3 balls. Likewise, working moms are jugglers. They must juggle 3 balls (Marriage, Motherhood, and their Career) all at the same time. It may look impossible to juggle it all, but when you have your feet planted firmly to the ground and a strong core, it is possible to have it all without it falling apart.
In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares how you can access the BOSS Mom Foundation that has helped her and her clients gain the strength (and character-building experience) to have a Satisfying Marriage, Great Motherhood Experience, and Rewarding Career. To learn about her BOSS MOM Foundation, get your copy of her book, Working Moms Can Balance Work & Life: A Working Mom's Quick Guide to Balance Work & Life HERE.

Take care of myself (put me on the calendar)
