Welcome to the She Talks Confidence Podcast, where we dive deep into the real stories and strategies behind women’s confidence at work, in relationships, and in life.
In today’s episode, “Balancing Career, Motherhood, and Mindfulness,” host Tony Dufresne, PhD, sits down with Dr. Michelle El Khoury—a seasoned pharmaceutical executive turned perinatal well-being coach, yoga instructor, and founder of Yogamazia and Smart Parenting with Michelle. Michelle’s journey illustrates the power of embracing change, trusting intuition, and creating intentional balance during life’s biggest transitions.
Together, Michelle and Tony explore how women can navigate the complex demands of a thriving career, dynamic family life, and their own mental and physical wellbeing.
Michelle shares her personal experiences of juggling multiple roles, surviving and learning from challenging pregnancies, and ultimately transforming her life and leadership style through the practices of yoga and mindfulness.
Three Big Takeaways You’ll Get from This Episode:
1. Your Mindset Matters: Discover how mindfulness and mental fitness techniques can help you identify and shift thought patterns that undermine your confidence both at work and as a parent.
2. Balance Is Built, Not Found: Learn Michelle’s step-by-step “SMART Parenting” framework to purposefully set your vision, prepare, and thrive through the ever-changing stages of career and motherhood.
3. Trusting Intuition Leads to Transformation: Hear how tuning into your intuition and embracing holistic self-care can empower you through life transitions, nurture resilience, and bring deeper fulfillment to your personal and professional life.
If you’re a woman who’s ready to step confidently into your power—at home, at work, and within yourself—this episode will offer you the tools, inspiration, and real-life guidance you need.
