by Andy O'Riley | Aug 28, 2026 | Business, Community, Lifestyle, News, Top Stories

The working world today, it’s all consuming.  It really is an undeniable fact.  Those who can get by on one job without a side hustle are few and far between any more and those who do have a job, or a couple, are in an ever increasing world of competition, demand, and the looming threat of “budget cuts”.  Yes, the two new buzzwords for higher profits for stockholders.  All of that, and then add in the necessity for a mom.  Kids, husband, household, PTA, Cub Scouts, Sports, meals, shopping….self?  Ain’t no one got time for that…..right?  Well, we can go street with the lingo, or we can tell you that all of that can lead to some serious issues.  Loss of identity within is a real struggle.  Forgetting that your life has a purpose, while you are tending to everyone else?  That’s what Dr. Emily Jacobs is here to discuss.  YOU.  You can’t get lost in the mix.  Take a listen. 

 

Beginning in 2023 with 4 women in a living room, all seeing to find a little more purpose, Empowered Moms was formed.  Today, it’s a powerful group of connection consisting of 1400 plus and a message that’s getting carried across the state and the nation.  Meeting Dr. Jacobs, it’s pretty easy to see why?  It’s a burning passion within her.  From the Empowered Moms website – “Somewhere between caring for everyone else and keeping up with the demands of everyday life, you may have lost sight of the woman you were before…or the woman you’re still becoming.”  It’s right along with that idea of putting your mask on if a plane depressurizes before you help someone else.  You have to remember, in as much as you give, you need to practice self care too.  Without it, emptiness comes along….and that leads to disconnect…and down the line…much larger problems that will layer.  What you give is immense.  What you need in return is some self fulfillment.  Where do you find it?

The option of Empowered Moms brings together, group support.  The key in this, the BIG key.  Seeing you’re not the only one.  Truly.  Almost anything people struggle with, they think it’s only them.  Once you see that you’ve got company….the isolation drops, quick.  Then there’s coaching.  Need a quick pick me up or maybe an immersive experience?  They have them.  Private Coaching?  Ya.  Hey, let’s face it.  For some on this journey, it might be really hard at first to raise their hand and say help.  Like any vulnerability, we’ve all been taught it’s “weakness”.  The real flex is saying enough is enough, let’s change course.

This program comes from lived experience, an experience that Dr. Jacobs didn’t want to pass along.  Breaking a cycle.  Rebuild life for herself and kids and hey, while we’re at it…let’s take a few thousand friends along.  Why not?  Right?  There is strength in numbers.  There’s power in taking back “you” and being a whole person is what those who love you WANT for you.  It’s also not anything to think lower of yourself to go get.  You’re worth it.  Learn more about Empowered Moms!
