I debated over and over what I wanted to do with the podcast - start over, take a break or just walk away, but it has always had a special place in my heart. Mommy's on a Call saved me during the transition from 2 to 3 kids, it connected me to the world when everything shut down and went online, and it helped me personally discover new passions. 

Through the podcast I met interesting, accomplished and amazing entrepreneurs and moms and it became my creative outlet in a time when I felt lost.

I have sat on relaunching this podcast for over a year now, but no more perfection (do I need new artwork? should I have multple weeks in the queue? what should my intro be? etc...). I'm here to take action!

Stay tuned for the relaunch of Mommy's on a Call!

It's time to revaluate and eliminate those things wasting our time, draining our energy and bringing us down. In order to make space to grow, expand, build and improve, we need to eliminate those energy drains (aka energy vampires) and in this episode, I go through exactly how to do that. Before we can add, we need to subtract and reevaluate.

Whitney English is a registered dietitian, nutritionist, certified personal trainer, and a mama of two little ones (ages 6 months and 2 years). 

She's the creator of the media platform Whitney E. RD, where she serves up the scoop on food and fitness trends, and co-creator of Plant-Based Juniors, an online destination for all parents looking to get more plants on the plate. 

Whitney earned her master's degree in Nutrition, Healthspan, and Longevity and completed her dietetic internship at the University of Southern California's Norris Cancer Center and Keck Medical Center as well as BreatheHealing Life Center. Her experience working in cancer research fueled her curiosity for using food and fitness to promote lasting health and helped shape her Predominantly Plant-Based philosophy. 

Whitney also is the co-author of The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler coming out next Tuesday, May 18th! They're offering some great pre-order bonuses so head over the link below for more info.

In this episode, Whitney debunks some of the top myths surrounding plant-based eating using her evidence-based research while sharing strategies on how to get your babies, toddlers and kids to eat a predominantly plant-based diet. She also talks about plant-based nutrition during pregnancy and shared insight into the 3-day water fast she completed (pre-pregnancy and breastfeeding) to help with cell regeneration (aka autophagy) and longevity.

Even if you're an omnivore (or recovering paleo eater) like myself, her tips helped inspire me to find ways to get more veggies into my kids meals and have piqued my interest in the studies behind fasting and longevity.

So whether or not you are plant-based curious or wondering how to get your kids to eat more greens, listen in!

Jo was a state champion gymnast, a nationally ranked diver and a diving coach. While prepping for medical school she was t-boned by a semi-truck during a cross-country bike tour. As a result of the accident, Jo was told that she wouldn't live a normal life, let alone become a doctor. Her recovery process was both physically and emotionally grueling, but through her healing she was able to unlock some universal healing principles that could not only help her, but other people as well. These discoveries became key foundations of the Conscious Cleanse. Because of her experience, Jo is driven to help people who think healing is out of their reach.

She's a mom of 2 (5 and 11 year old) who went through a huge career transition after having her first kid.

In this episode we dive into her journey of going back to school and switching careers to everything you need to know to start planning for your financial future as a mom with young kids.

Financial planning is way more than just excel projections, pie graphs and investment portfolios, it's about imagining the life you want to have when you retire.

One of my favorite things she said to me offline was "I never knew my job would be mainly about helping people figure out what they want." And that is so true!

• What she did differently with her second company: Tiny Organics
• The importance of Tiny's Founding Family - testing and reiterating for a year before bringing it to market and the value of organic word of mouth marketing over paid advertising and how it led to scaling and funding faster

I loved our conversation because we had a real conversation about her entrepreneurial journey, which was the opposite of most founders… an accidental one that was born out of her own creativity, curiosity, and personal necessity. She never originally envisioned selling her product yet alone patenting it. 

Kodi is driven by emotion and her favorite line "I see something in my head" is what fuels her to move forward with each one of her business ventures. Kodi is a multi passionate entrepreneur and probably the only one I know who can weld metal and steer a cow!

In this episode we chat about

• Her journey from being a soap actress and model who never worked out to the founder of a home fitness equipment company and owner of a brick-and-mortar ice cream shop
• How she built a company driven by emotion vs. business
• What she does to fuel herself - like taking a break to be outside without technology
• How she involved her family with their decision making process to purchase an ice cream shop
• Where she gets inspiration for building brands and design
• And lots of tips for scrappy entrepreneurs!

Jessica Levison is a mom of 3 (ages 4, 6 and 8) and a former lawyer who has a passion for ice cream. When she saw a need in her local community, she decided opened a brick and mortar ice cream shop (as a side hustle to her law job).

However, after having kids she struggled with getting them to eat their veggies whereas they always would eat the ice cream. That is where the idea for Peekaboo Organics was born.

Peekaboo makes ice cream with hidden veggies you cannot see or taste. Why? Because nothing feeds our soul quite like ice cream and that's just as important as eating our veggies! Jessica was recently featured on Shark Tank and Peekaboo can be found in stores nationwide.

In this episode Jessica and I chat about:

• Starting a business in a completely new industry with no direct experience
• Why creating your own group of mentors and advisors is crucial to avoiding mistakes
• The ups and downs of being a Founder
• Managing life with 3 kids and multiple businesses

Before kids she was a trained sommelier and worked at some of the top restaurants in NYC. After her son was born she left the restaurant world to work in start-ups and make her name for herself running her funny Instagram account, @girlgonechild_ (formerly @girlgonechildinnyc) which showcases the life of an ex-party girl turned young mom navigating her life in NYC being a working mom and trying to have it all.

During the Pandemic Megan relocated her family to Charlotte, NC where she was working-from-home as the Head of Product Growth for Tinybeans and Red Tricycle in between homeschooling, running after a toddler and breastfeeding. After being laid off from her job only a month later, her post on adding her pandemic parenting experience to her resume went viral and led her on the path to launching her own marketing agency so she could work with many companies, not just one.

In true Mommy's on a Call fashion, this episode is filled with kids screaming, husbands walking in, and nursing babies, which is a perfect snapshot of what real work-from-home during a pandemic mom life looked like. Megan and I had a real honest, unfiltered, and unapologetic conversation about the struggles of motherhood and managing a career.

She is also the wife of actor Nestor Carbonell of LOST, Bates Motel, and The Morning Show fame and a mom to a 15 and 19 year old.

When her kids were young, Shannon made the hard decision to give up her own acting career in favor of her husband's career and full-time motherhood. No matter how painful, she knew she was making the better choice for her and her family. Just like the LOST survivors, she had crashed on an island that would test her, heal her, and surround her with the people who would eventually show her the way home.

Shannon shares raw and honest stories of her experience and lessons learned from taking a pause on her career, having to rediscover her identity, and filling that void within her. We also talk about relationships, communication, life as an actor, and dealing with resentment.

In today's episode, Annie Henderson and I talk about how to end mom guilt and stop being a people pleaser, what it's like to co-parenting with parent of opposite views, and how social media has helped her create a safe space, community and support for Christian LGBTQ+ and allies.

Annie grew up as a people pleaser and did not come out of the closet until she was in her late 20s after getting married and having a baby. Annie now has a partner of 9 years and a 14 year old daughter. She lives in Texas and is a Life Coach, Counselor, EFT Practitioner and Coming Out Coach for LGBTQ+ and families struggling with their child coming out and need some guidance along the way.

She has also partnered with her church to create a safe space for LGBT and Allies on Facebook because they know how much the church has hurt the LGBT community and are wanting to provide a safe, judgement free and affirming space.

When her daughter was 2, Kenise became a single mom overnight and the sole provider. While she had a full-time job and was financially independent, Kenise was bored and started looking to start something new on her own. Slowly, she started consulting on top of her 40-hour a week "day job" and as a full-time single mom. 

That consulting side hustle turned into multiple more streams of income - from coaching to HR training to book publishing to singing and piano playing, Kenise quit her day job and today has created 7 income streams for herself.

In this episode we talk about how to develop multiple income streams, how to rebrand yourself (physically), and how to transition from being an employee to taking your side hustle to a full-time business. We also chat about her daughter's new book called Be You. Be Cool. Be Kind, which is all about bullying and how Kenise is teaching her daughter to be financially responsible.

After spending over 25 years as a senior executive working in the entertainment space, she always wondered why there wasn't a mommy and me type of group for those in the later stages of life? At work she was always reporting to several Board of Directors and then it clicked, why couldn't she have her own Board of Directors for her personal life? And after 25+ years she left the corporate world to launch Light House and help support other women find their personal board of directors.

In this episode we talk all about her journey and inspiration behind Light House, why having a personal Board of Directors is important, being a mom of teenagers, and how she prioritizes self-care (especially movement, clean eating and sleep) in her life after losing 82 pounds, plus her favorite skin care products.

One of my favorite quotes from the episode: "You're not meant to do life alone and you don't have to."

In this episode we go into the details on how she took her idea from a business card to a real business overnight without any background in subscription e-commerce, lessons she's learned in the first year, the team she surrounds herself with, and how she structures her day, while still working full-time.

She's the creator of the media platform Whitney E. RD, where she serves up the scoop on food and fitness trends, and co-creator of Plant-Based Juniors, an online destination for all parents looking to get more plants on the plate. 

Whitney earned her master's degree in Nutrition, Healthspan, and Longevity and completed her dietetic internship at the University of Southern California's Norris Cancer Center and Keck Medical Center as well as BreatheHealing Life Center. Her experience working in cancer research fueled her curiosity for using food and fitness to promote lasting health and helped shape her Predominantly Plant-Based philosophy. 

Whitney also is the co-author of The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler coming out next Tuesday, May 18th! They're offering some great pre-order bonuses so head over the link below for more info.

In this episode, Whitney debunks some of the top myths surrounding plant-based eating using her evidence-based research while sharing strategies on how to get your babies, toddlers and kids to eat a predominantly plant-based diet. She also talks about plant-based nutrition during pregnancy and shared insight into the 3-day water fast she completed (pre-pregnancy and breastfeeding) to help with cell regeneration (aka autophagy) and longevity.

Even if you're an omnivore (or recovering paleo eater) like myself, her tips helped inspire me to find ways to get more veggies into my kids meals and have piqued my interest in the studies behind fasting and longevity.

So whether or not you are plant-based curious or wondering how to get your kids to eat more greens, listen in!

She was the co-host of the Generation.Mom podcast and a mom to 2 young boys (and pregnant with baby #3).

I wanted to interview Lara because she coaches using the Ultimate Life Tool (ULT). The ULT is an assessment test I had taken in the past and it taught me so much about how I function, what fuels me and the environment I thrive in. There are so many nuances to the assessment, but I found it to be so much more helpful than any other assessment (like the Enneagram, 16Personalities, Kolbe, etc…).

As an entrepreneur with a husband and three kids of her own, she knows exactly how it feels to have too much to do and not enough time to do it. It's exhausting, it's stressful, and it can be tempting to just give in to the chaos.

Like most children of the 80s and 90s, Cherylanne grew up believing she could have it all. She started her first business while still in high school, and dreamed of one day becoming a CEO. Despite her demanding work schedule, she still traveled, ran marathons, and volunteered like a boss. And then she had 3 children. All of a sudden, the unrelenting pace she was running at felt unsustainable.

That's when she knew she had to reorder her life so all the pieces would truly fit - including not just a thriving career and family life, but also a good night's sleep and some time to herself!

It wasn't easy at first, but she finally discovered a set of practices that truly worked. That prompted her to found Brilliant Balance, and her playbook has helped thousands of professional women reclaim rock star status over the last decade.

Her company, Brilliant Balance, offers work-life mentorship and coaching programs to help you have a fulfilling career, a thriving family life, and a strong sense of self.

Jessica Hughes is a mom of 7 and an incredibly talented artist who had a decades-long career that has taken her from textile designer, to illustrator, art educator, entrepreneur, to her existing endeavor as a professional abstract artist. But of all she is a survivor. A survivor of sexual abuse, substance abuse, multiple forms of addiction including one I just learned from her called "white collar addiction", and an eating disorder almost all while being a mom to 7 children.

From the outside, Jessica was the perfect wife, perfect mom living in an upscale suburban neighborhood with the perfect house. But internally, she was suffering so deeply in many ways. If anyone saw the Meghan Markle interview, it parallels how no matter how put together or perfect someone looks from the outside, you never know what is happening behind closed doors so have compassion and empathy for everyone. It also showcased a very important point that it is so important to not only ask for help but also get the help you need.

I am so honored to be able to share her raw and powerful story with you all and hope that her way of using art as an outlet for helping herself and others heal inspires you to look at art as a powerful medium that can bring joy, growth, and self discovery.

Denise Woodard is the Founder/CEO of Partake Foods, an allergy-friendly snack company that she was inspired to start because of her daughter Vivienne's experience with food allergies.

With so little options in the market for delicious healthy allergy-friendly snacks for kids, Denise, who had a background working in emerging brands for Coca-Cola and a scrappy entrepreneurial spirit decided, why not make a product for her daughter herself.

After many cookie iterations, lots of LinkedIn stalking and a little luck, that vision has turned into a multi-million dollar allergy-friendly food company that will be in 5,500 stores by the end of 2021. On top of that success, Denise is the first woman of color to raise over $1 million for a food startup which includes a $4.8 million series A funding round in December 2020, led by investors including Rihanna and Marcy Venture Partners, Jay-Z's firm who led the initial $1MM seed round.

I love how Denise not only took a real problem in her own family but also created a company that strongly believes in a greater social mission and is giving more women and people of color the opportunity to "partake" at the table too. But besides building a company and being a role model for other women of color, Denise is an incredible mom and shares insights into how she was able to build this company, raise capital and make it happen while raising her daughter.

But her passion for design mixed with a love for food and inspired by her Korean-American family background in restaurants led her down a path to starting Material with her co-founder Dave… after she already had her first kid.

Eunice is now the mom to two young girls, a five year-old and a 1 year old.

I love how Eunice incorporates her eldest into the business and leads by example, showing her daughter that she doesn't have to conform to any societal norms or parental pressures and that she can pursue whatever she has the passion to do in life.

But I hope this also inspires you to also pursue that passion in your life. If you go to sleep thinking about an idea and wake up thinking about that same idea - it might be the sign of something you were destined to pursue.

However, that was the case for Katya Libin, the co-founder & CEO of HeyMama, a membership community that connects working moms at every stage of life and career.

HeyMama has over 3,200+ members (me included) and creates opportunities for their members to bring their whole selves while advancing their careers.

Honestly, for me HeyMama has been one of the best communities and investments I have ever made… and trust me, I don't get any sort of referral or affiliate for this, but because of HeyMama I have met so many incredible working moms, many of which have now been on the podcast and more of them to come.

This community that Katya and her co-founder Amri founded back in 2014 has grown into a diverse online and in-real life (when there isn't a pandemic) community that gives moms the platform to provide each other with support, connection, and collaboration in life and business. 

In this episode, we talk about life with a blended family, how she includes her daughter in everything, favorite binge worthy TV shows, spiritual work, having a co-founder to tips for entrepreneurs just starting out right now.

In her spare time, she also co-hosts a podcast with Amy Nelson from the Riveter called "What's Her Story with Sam and Amy, " where they bring on incredibly accomplished women to learn all about their story. Some of their guests include Melinda Gates, Sallie Krawcheck, Marcia Cross, and Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach (to name drop a few).

Samantha is also the guru and expert on how to thrive professionally and personally, and I was excited to dive into what it looks like behind the scenes and how the pie life has shifted for her in 2020.

Her new venture Park Place Payments is a women founded and run fintech company that is changing the way financial services are sold to independent businesses.

After practicing medicine for many years, Dr. Stephanie has traded the doctor life for the startup life while raising her two kids. 

Besides all the information I learned about breastmilk from Dr. Stephanie, I found it so inspiring that she left an established medical practice to join a startup accelerator to pursue her passion in helping moms.

So even if you aren't breastfeeding or don't really want to learn about breastmilk, tune in because she talks all about her journey launching her startup and the challenges with fundraising.

Elna's pins would pop up on my feed everywhere… how to start a blog, how to monetize a blog, how to increase blog traffic, how to drive traffic using Pinterest, etc.. and so back in 2017, I reached out to her to contribute to one of my round-up posts and she said yes.

Flash forward 3 years later and Elna and I reconnected as speakers at a virtual summit back in October and we chatted all about making a living as a full-time blogger and if that is a thing of the past or actually still possible.

Blogging is still thriving and Elna is here to share success strategies on how to launch and monetize one in 2021 especially as a mom. If you're looking to start a blog for either a side hustle or full-time income stream, way to build credibility in your brand and business or as a creative outlet then listen closely.

If you don't know what integrative nutrition is or how moms can really benefit from taking a more holistic approach with their health (especially after babies messing up our hormones), then definitely listen in!

Uma specializes in hormonal health, digestive health and fat loss. She believes that good health is not just about what you are eating or how much you are exercising but also your mindset plays a very important role in your outcome. 

All her programs are based on a holistic approach and she believes in creating a strong mind and body connection that will support each client in optimizing their health.

Uma's practice is based in Los Angeles; however, she also works remotely with several international clients from India and the UK. Most of her clients are women in the age group of 30 to 60. 

In this episode, Uma and I talk all about

• How her morning routine influences her entire day and her advice for how to create one with kids
• What her bedtime routine looks like
• What is integrative nutrition all about
• The different levels of hormones and how each directly affect our health
• Intermittent fasting, the influence of sugar, and periods

I brought Denise on the show because there are not a lot of examples out there of moms who are building million dollar companies with super young kids in tow and who are unapologetic about pursuing their dreams and having a ton of fun.

Denise DT is a money mentor for the new wave of online entrepreneurs who want to make money and change the world. 

She helps women charge premium prices, release the fear of money and create First Class lives. Her Money Bootcamp has helped over 6,000 students from all around the world reprogram their money mindset and live an abundant life.

She is the author of 3 bestselling books all of which give a fresh and funny roadmap to living a life of abundance without burnout. I've listened to 2 of them on Audible and so I highly recommend them!

Denise calls herself a lazy introvert and an unbusy mother of 3 and when she's not running her multi-million dollar company, you can find her at either her rose farm or at her beach house in sunny Australia.

Many of you might know Todd as the award-winning author of the Alter Ego Effect, the founder of the 90 Day Year, author of the children's book, My Super Me, or just as the secret weapon behind many of the professional and Olympic athletes out there. 

He's dedicated the past 23 years to creating systems, programs, and coaching the world's elite athletes, leaders, and public figures and has been featured on the Today Show, Sky Business, CBS Sports, NFL Films, and the NY Times.

Todd is extremely good at helping ambitious people calm their minds and master their inner voice. But most importantly, he's a husband to Valerie, and dad to 3 little kids - Molly, Sophie, and Charlie, and today I'm really excited to share this episode because I get to bring out the parent and dad side of him.

Normally we hear about Todd the mindset coach or the systems guy, but today we're going to talk about

• Parenting and how he parents to build "tough" (meaning independent and resilient) kids
• The 4 questions he asks his kids daily
• How we can reframe our mindset on how we communicate with our kids about outcomes to build more emotionally and mentally centered individuals
• How we as a moms can differentiate our identities in order to thrive in our different roles whether that be as a mom, a wife, a CEO, etc…  

I literally could listen to this episode over and over and keep pulling out new "ah ha" moments so I hope that you learn something new too!

In this episode, I brought on a few of my mommy friends all from various backgrounds to share what they will be doing as parents today on Election Day 2020 with their children and how they plan to talk to their children about politics, the election and what today is all about.

I texted them the following 5 questions and had them respond via voice text.

1. What is your name, kids ages and background?
2. What are you doing with your children on Election Day?
3. How has becoming a parent changed your views or engagement with the political arena?
4. If your kids ask you about the election (ex. what you are doing? watching? why you're crying? happy? etc.), what message will you give to your children?
5. Do you have any tips, tools, resources or just advice that you would recommend to help fellow parents navigate the delicacies of political conversations, whether it be with other parents, at school, other mommy friends, etc…?

Go VOTE!!! Your vote matters!!!

In today's episode, I chat with four Asian-American moms (TCha, Isa, TLo and Chuk), who are the co-hosts of TITT Talks - a podcast about modern women living in a mama world and all moms of kids 5 and under, just like myself.

I originally met these ladies years and years ago during undergrad at UCLA and so it was fun to reconnect and talk about our experiences raising multicultural kids in 2020.

While I was lucky not to have the stereotypical "tiger mom," there are many traditions and norms in the Asian culture that I'm trying figure out how to navigate now while parenting. And like the TITT Talks moms, we are all trying to do our best to instill qualities of compassion, love and understanding within our children… but sometimes the demanding side comes out.

I think my favorite aspect of this episode is hearing the stories of other strong Asian American moms. I think a lot of us were raised to get a good education, work hard, make opportunities for a better life, and raise good kids, but being on a stage or creating a platform for our voice isn't as common. What these ladies are doing with TITT Talks is empowering and paving the way for other Asian Americans out there to have a voice.

Starting Kindergarten off virtually has been an interesting and unique experience, and not necessarily a good one for many reasons. But kids are resilient and in the end, they seem to be doing okay.

But are the parents? Not at all. Just like in the spring, the parents are still the ones suffering and for many, at least one parent (in many cases the mom) has to be available at all times.

So how can we make this work? What can we do to help our children and ourselves?

I have learned so much about podcasting, my business and my life over the last year and I share a few of those in today's episode.

Along with those insights, over the last year I've interviewed dozens of mom entrepreneurs both on the podcast, in-person and on my Parenting in a Pandemic Series. And while every mom has a different family structure and situation, there are a lot of commonalities that allow them to pursue their passion and succeed as a "power mom."

In this episode I share the top 3 takeaways I learned after interviewing all these mom entrepreneurs.

In the last 6 months (yes during a Pandemic), I had a baby, homeschooled a preschoolers, ran a business, continued a podcast, ended a 10 year old event planning company, and survived parenting 3 kids while working from home.

So this week we're taking a "le pause" to reflect on the past 6 months (since the baby just turned 6 months old) in order to plan for the rest of the year. If you don't have awareness of where you are in the present, it's hard to figure out how to move forward.

By using the same feedback loops and system of reflection I apply to my business to my life, I am able to make a plan for how to move forward.

Listen in to learn more about what to do and how to apply this process to your life so that you can plan out the rest of 2020 with success!

In this episode, I learned so much about how she approaches the stress cycle and how to use neurobiological techniques to help improve your overall mind-body connection. 

She explains why deep breathing and a lot of common quick fixes aren't the answer to combating stress long-term and why she doesn't believe in "stress management."

I think my big takeaway was how to tune in, acknowledge and listen to my body effectively so that I have the tools to properly respond to situations that change my baseline stress level.

Her approach is extremely fascinating and can be applied to more than just a high-risk pregnancy, but in any situation when you feel high stress, which as a parent is quite often!

Parijat is the leading high-risk pregnancy specialist, somatic stress & trauma professional and speaker and author who guides women to improve their pregnancy complications so they can reduce their risk of preterm birth. 

Her unique neurobiological approach has served hundreds of women to manage pregnancy complications and reclaim a safety and trust in their bodies that they thought was eroded forever.

Parijat is the author of bestselling book Pregnancy Brain: A Mind-Body Approach to Stress Management During a High-Risk Pregnancy. She is also the host of the popular podcast Delivering Miracles®, that discusses the real, raw side of family-building including infertility, loss, high-risk pregnancy, bed rest, prematurity and healing once the baby comes home.

For some being a mom is the identity they have been searching for their whole life and for others the identity of being a mom is just part of a bigger puzzle, but an unknown bigger picture.

I believe you don't have to be defined as just one thing: a mom, a career woman, a CEO, a wife, a "insert your title here". Instead, if you expand who you are and embrace the concept that you can have multiple selves and identities, you can evolve into something bigger and better.

At the root of the problem is really uncovering who you are in this new chapter of your life in that moment and how you can evolve into a more awesome you, which can honestly apply to anyone.

In this episode I focus on 3 categories to help you on your journey to reclaiming your identity: mindset, action and people. Within each of these categories are a few tips on how to start on your path to rediscovering the amazing new you.

I believe as an entrepreneur, business owner, mom and wife, there is a fine line between work and home, especially when a lot of times we work from home. From doing the nap time hustle to squeezing in work before the kids wake up and long after they go to bed, I realized that I was trying to get it all done at the expense of my own health and well-being. 

Which is why today's episode is all about Boundaries and Self Care because these are two themes that I feel like as a mom we tend to put aside and pretend that it's not a problem or doesn't need to exist. If we can just tough it out for a few more years it'll all get better. But in my opinion it doesn't.

In this episode I dive into my 3 tips for setting boundaries and 3 simple things I do to implement self-care in my daily life so that I keep my self-care meter above zero.

So before we dive into interviews, I thought I'd give you my personal perspective on 5 common themes that seem to emerge anytime I talk to working moms.

1. Balance
2. Boundaries
3. Self Care
4. Relevancy and Identity
5. Relationships

In this episode we'll dive into the mythical concept of "balance." What does "balance" supposedly look like? Does it really exist and if so, how can we, as working moms, actually "do it all"?

• 5:18 - 2 things I believe you need to accept to achieve "balance"
• 9:18 - 5 tips on how I try to attain "balance"
