Motherhood can make you feel like you’re constantly doing more…
while feeling less connected to yourself.
In this conversation with @candyoterry we talk about what interviewing nearly 1,000 women taught her about success, fulfillment, and identity.
One idea that stayed with me:
What if success in motherhood isn’t about “doing it all” —
but about staying connected to yourself while you do it?
This episode felt honest, grounding, and deeply validating in a way I think so many women need right now.
If you’ve ever felt:
• successful on paper but emotionally exhausted
• pulled between ambition and presence
• unsure how to hold onto yourself in motherhood
I think this conversation will resonate.
🎧 “What 1,000 Women Taught Me About Success & Motherhood” is now live on That Mom.
What part of motherhood has felt hardest to stay connected to yourself through lately?
One thing @candyoterry talks about often is how important it is for women to support each other — reaching up to learn from the women ahead of us and reaching back to encourage the women coming up behind us. She says there’s nothing she loves more than supporting women doing what they love… so today I’m happy to do the same for her and her daughter 💛
Their beautiful children’s book is filled with friendship, heart, and the sweetest watercolor illustrations. Both of my kids genuinely loved it, and it sparked such sweet conversations afterward.
Sharing this not just because I adore Candy, but because it’s truly a lovely book written with her daughter @colleen_esposito worth adding to your shelf. Available on Amazon ✨
This song is for all the moms and their girls. I hope you felt loved from the moment you woke up this morning until this very minute. xoCandyO #grateful

I can't think of a more inspiring story to share this morning than @melissafdupuis a young mother who is a #breastcancer thriver whose book WE CAN DO HARD THINGS was written for children facing any kind of hardship. It's beautiful, and so is SHE. Listen to The Story Behind Her Success this morning at 11 on @myfm1013 . #mothersday

I've been wanting to sing with this guy @billbrackenmusic@billbracken for a long time... & today, we did it @critharmon ! Can't wait for you to hear our duet (out soon). How do we sound? Think of it this way: I'm a little bit soft rock, he's a little bit rock 'n' roll. Special thanks to Bill's wife, Marci @pinkchairstorytellers , for introducing us.
Hmmm...it's that magic hour, time to put the little ones to sleep. Here's a lullaby to help you get them all cozy. Those two precious girls in the picture? Our precious Belle & Rosie @colleen_esposito@espositorealtygroup . This is my latest single, available wherever you get your music. xoCandyO
