The Unmuted CEO
🎙️ You've been building your business in silence long enough, sis.
Welcome to The Unmuted CEO Podcast—where mom entrepreneurs stop second-guessing, start showing up, and finally get seen for the powerhouse they already are.
I'm Tammy Maynard—mom of six (yes, twins included!), visibility coach, and the woman who turned years of feeling invisible into a thriving business. And sis, if you've ever stared at that "Go Live" button for 20 minutes, rewritten the same caption seven times, or wondered if you'll EVER feel confident enough to show your face online—I see you. Because I've been you.
Here's what you'll find inside every episode:
Real talk about building visibility on YOUR terms—no hustle culture, no "rise and grind" BS, just strategies that work WITH your life, not against it.
Behind-the-scenes of what it actually takes to show up consistently when you're juggling kids, a business, and trying to remember if you ate lunch.
Mindset shifts that turn "I'm not ready" into "watch me work."
Practical systems for batch content creation, time management, and staying visible without burning out.
Guest conversations with women who've walked this path and come out the other side—thriving, not just surviving.
This isn't another podcast telling you to do more. This is permission to show up as you are, build confidence one post at a time, and finally turn that quiet potential into the seen, paid impact you've been dreaming about.
Whether you're a brand new entrepreneur or you've been lurking in the shadows for years, it's time to get unmuted. Your voice matters. Your business matters. And sis—you were made to be seen.

Overcoming Comparison Fatigue—Your Lane is Sacred
Ever been told to “pick a lane” when your life is clearly a whole highway? We go straight at comparison fatigue—the kind that hits multi-called women who are growing businesses, raising kids, and healing old wounds—without asking you to shrink your vision. Through raw storytelling, faith-grounded encouragement, and practical strategy, we reframe capacity as calling and replace shame with stewardship.
We unpack what comparison really steals: clarity, confidence, and the courage to take up space. Tammy shares a breaking-point moment when shrinking felt safer than shining, and the pivot that reframed six kids and multiple businesses as an assignment, not a liability. We ground the conversation in Ephesians 2:10 to dismantle the myth of one-size-fits-all success, then move into six concrete steps to get free: stop measuring your full story against someone else’s highlight chapter, audit inputs and influences, own your season out loud, champion multi-passionate women, return to your why for each calling, and permit evolution across seasons.
You’ll also get a set of spoken declarations designed to retrain your inner narrative and a powerful, restorative prayer for women carrying layered responsibilities. Along the way, we normalize imperfect systems, celebrate sustainable growth, and honor the truth that your home is a headquarters and your life is a legacy in motion. If you’ve felt “too much” in business rooms and “not enough” at the school pickup line, this conversation gives language, strategy, and courage to claim your lane.
If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs the reminder, subscribe for more faith-filled strategy and real talk, leave a review to help us reach more women, and join the Unmuted Sisterhood on Facebook for support that celebrates your capacity without apology.
Every review, every share, every message helps us reach and raise up more unmuted women.

Welcome to Beyond the Comfort Zone, the podcast where women in business refuse to play small. I'm your host, Tammy Maynard, CEO Bestie, Visibility Coach, and your go-to girl for faith, strategy, and big disencouragement. If you're a purpose-driven woman, mama, tired of hustling in silence, and ready to get unmuted in business and life, you're in the right place. Every week, we'll get real about the highs, the lows, and the unseen struggles nobody talks about. You'll hear bold stories, mindset shifts, practical strategies, and faith-filled pep talks to help you show up, speak up, and build a business and legacy God designs you for. So grab your notebook, sis, and let's turn fear into fuel because your comfort zone is not your friend zone. This is beyond the comfort zone where we help women go from silent to theme. Let's dive in. Because I know you're not dealing with casual comparison. You're not just scrolling and feeling a little meh about someone else's curated feed. Now, sis. You're out here with multiple businesses, children. Some of us have a marriage, a calling, and a past that already tried to convince you that you were not enough. And still, you're fighting the whispers that tell you you're doing it wrong, you're falling behind, or you're too much and not enough all at the same time. Let's talk about comparison fatigue for the woman who isn't just juggling. She's building empires while raising humans, while healing old wounds, while trying to honor God with it all. This one's for you, sis. The one who's been compared to, compared against, and who compares herself in ways that most people would never understand. Your lane isn't just sacred, it's a battlefield you're sanctifying one brave step at a time. So let's dig in. Let's get free. And let's remind you why God chose you for this assignment. How many times have you opened Instagram and saw a mom entrepreneur with one business and one child talking about balance and felt both jealous and guilty for even feeling that way? Maybe you watched another business owner celebrate a lunch while you're trying to figure out which of your three projects to prioritize this week, while also meal planning, managing carpool, and showing up for your marriage. Maybe you've seen someone's six-figure year post and thought, but does she have six kids, a boutique, a podcast, a membership, and a healing journey she's still walking through? Maybe you felt judged by other moms for working too much and judged by business people for not being focused enough because you refuse to choose between your children and your calling. Or maybe you've even questioned if God really called you to do any of this. Or if you're just doing too much, being too ambitious, but trying to prove something because of the little girl inside of you who was always told she wasn't enough. Me too. And here's what I need you to know: comparison isn't just a surface level struggle for women like us. It's layered. It's trauma meeting ambition. It's motherhood meeting marketplace. It's healing wounds while building wealth. It's managing the guilt of wanting more while loving what you already have. Comparison for us isn't a bad habit. It's a multi front war. Here's what's really at stake for us. You start shrinking your vision to make others comfortable. You start thinking maybe I should just focus on one thing so people can take me seriously. Maybe I'm being selfish trying to build while my kids are still young. You start apologizing for your ambition. Downplaying your wins, your goals, your income targets. Just because society told you that a good mom doesn't want empire, she wants balance. You internalize the chaos as failure. Your house isn't Pinterest perfect, your systems aren't seamless, your content isn't polished, and instead of seeing it as real life, you see it as evidence that you're not measuring up. You carry invisible shame. Shame for wanting financial freedom. Shame for needing help. Shame for not being the stay at home, homeschool, sourdough bacon version of motherhood. Shame for being too much in every space you enter. You measure your healing against other people's highlight reels. You've done the therapy, the journaling, the faith work, but when you see someone who looks confident, you wonder if you'll ever really be free from the girl who was bullied, the woman who doubted herself, the version of you that still whispers, who do you think you are? Sis, let me tell you something. God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called. And he didn't give you this capacity, this vision, this fire, these children, these businesses just to watch you suffocate on the comparison. Comparison nearly stole my multi-calling assignment. There was a season when I was drowning in comparison, and it wasn't the Instagram kind. It was the deep, suffocating kind. I'd see mom with fewer kids talking about how hard it was. And I'd think, then what does that make me? Crazy? Incapable? I'd see business coaches with one streamlined offer while I was building a membership, a boutique, a podcast, a coaching program, and communities. And I'd wondered if I was scattered, unfocused, or just trying to do too much to prove I was worthy. I'd hear women talk about their healing journey, past tense, while I was still actively working through triggers, still rebuilding confidence daily, still fighting the lives that bullying planted in me as a child. And sis, I started to shrink. I started apologizing for my dreams. I stopped posting about certain wins because I didn't want people to think I was too much or not focused. I even thought about shutting down parts of my business just to look more put together. You know what broke me free? A moment of clarity that said, Tammy, stop trying to fit into a lane God didn't build for you. Your multiple businesses, anointed. Your six kids, a crown, not a complication. Your healing journey is a part of your authority. Your ambition is God given. God didn't say Tammy peak one. He said, Tammy, I gave you the capacity for all of it. Now trust me to sustain you in it. Since I need you to hear this. Nobody else is stewarding your exact assignment. Nobody else has your children's names written on their heart, your specific business visions downloaded in their spirit, your story of rising from being bullied to becoming a CEO, your capacity to carrying multiple callings and make it work, your unique blend of faith, motherhood, entrepreneurship, healing, and boldness. Your journey is not too much. It's multifaceted by design. Let's look at scripture. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Look in Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10. Handiwork, not mass produced, not cookie cutter, not one size fits all. God created you specifically for the life you're living, the businesses, the babies, the breadth of it all. You're not doing too much, sis. You're doing what you were built for. Now let's look into how to break free from multi-level comparison. Here are practical steps for the woman carrying it all. I want to make this actionable, sis, because you don't have time for the fluff. Let's look at step one. Stop comparing your full story to their highlight chapter. That mom with one kid and one business, celebrate her. Stop using her capacity as the measuring stick for yours. God gave you more because he trusts you with more. Step two, audit your fees and your inner circle. Mute the accounts that make you question your calling. Distance yourself from people, even well-meaning friends or family who subtly make you feel like you need to choose between motherhood and ambition. Step three, own your season out loud. Stop apologizing. Stop saying, I know I'm all over the place. Start saying I'm building multiple streams of impact and I'm doing it on purpose. Step four, celebrate other multi-passionate women. They're your tribe. Find the women who are also doing too much and cheer loudly for them. The more you normalize your lane, the less you'll question it. Step five, return to your why for each calling. Ask yourself, why did I start this business? Why am I mothering these children? Why am I walking this healing journey publicly? When you reconnect with purpose, comparison loses its grip. And step number six, give yourself permission to evolve. Some seasons you'll focus more on one business. Some seasons you'll pour into your kids. Some seasons you'll need to rest and heal. None of that is failure. All of it is stewardship. And here comes your big sis pep talk. Sis, listen to me. You are not too much, you are not scattered, you are not behind, you are not failing because your life doesn't look like hers. You are a woman carrying multiple callings, and that is a gift, not a burden. Stop waiting for permission to take up space. Stop shrieking your vision because people can't comprehend it. Stop questioning whether God really called you to all of this. He did. And he's not confused about your capacity, your multiple businesses, seeds of legacy, sis. Your children, walking testimonies, your healing, your authority, your faith, your foundation. You don't need to do less. You need to stop apologizing for doing what God assigned you to do. Say these with me, sis, out loud, with your whole chest. I am not too much. I am exactly who God created me to be. My multiple callings are not chaos, they're divine design. I do not have to choose between being a great mother and a successful entrepreneur. I can be both. My healing journey does not disqualify me. It deepens my authority. Comparison has no hold on me. I celebrate others while honoring my own lane. I am not behind. I am building an empire one faithful step at a time. I want to pray for you, sis, because oftentimes we don't pray for one another as much as we should. So if you'll allow me to, I would like to extend a healing prayer for the woman who is carrying it all. Father God, today I lift up every single woman listening who is carrying multiple callings, multiple children, multiple businesses, and multiple burdens that the world doesn't see. Lord, you see the mom entrepreneur who feels like she's failing at both, too distracted for her kids, too unavailable for her business. You see the woman rebuilding confidence while building a brand, still healing from wounds while leading others into freedom. You see the wife trying to show up for her marriage while managing a full plate that her spouse doesn't always understand. You see the woman of faith who loves you deeply but wrestles with guilt of wanting financial abundance, influence, and impact. God, I pray right now that you break every lie that says she's doing too much. Silence every voice, internal and external, that tells her the shrink, to choose, to apologize for her ambition. Lord, remind her that you don't give capacity without calling. If you trusted her with multiple businesses, multiple children, and a multidimensional assignment, then you will sustain her in it. God heal the parts of her that still carry the weight of being bullied, overlooked, or told she wasn't enough. Let her know that her past does not disqualify her. It prepared her. Break the spirit of comparison off of her life. Let her stop measuring her full story against other women's single chapters. Let her celebrate their wins without diminishing her own. Restore her confidence in her unique lane. Remind her that she is not scattered. She is multi-gifted. She is not behind. She is building on your timeline. Let her walk in holy boldness, knowing that every calling she carries is backed by your grace, your strength, and your purpose. And Lord, surround her with sisterhood, women who understand, who celebrate, who champion her instead of competing with her. We declare she is enough. She is anointed. She is exactly where you want her. In the mighty, powerful, chain breaking name of Jesus. Amen. And if you need a circle of sisters who get it, who understand the weight, the vision, the faith, and the fire, come join us in the Unmuted Sisterhood on Facebook. Remember, sis, you're not too much. You're a multi-calling woman walking in her divine assignment. Stay in your lane, sis. Run your race and shine in every dimension God gave you. Don't keep it to yourself.
