About this episode

This episode discusses five honest truths about the realities of being a working mom.

Working moms, stay-at-home moms, and every mom in between — this one's for you. In this episode, we're sharing five honest truths about being a working mom: from the golden rule that someone always gets sick before a big work trip, to why childcare is genuinely hard no matter which option you choose, to the reality that ambition doesn't disappear after you have kids — and why that's perfectly okay. We also get real about the mental load of leaving for a work trip, the constant trade-offs working parents navigate every single day, and why kids absolutely cannot behave the moment you get on a work call. Whether you're a new mom trying to figure out work-life balance, a seasoned working parent in the thick of it, or just looking for some honest mom talk — we see you.
