  • No Sick Days For Moms
    Mar 26 2026

    Being sick as a working mom isn’t the same as being sick before kids… or honestly, even being sick as a dad. There are no true sick days. The kids still need you, work still expects you, and somehow everything keeps moving—whether you feel like it or not.

  • Survival Tips For Taveling Solo - Mom Edition
    Mar 12 2026

    Traveling for work sounds glamorous… until you’re the mom packing a suitcase while also coordinating childcare, school pickup, and who’s signing the field trip form while you’re 1,500 miles away.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the real experience of work travel as a working mom — when you’re heading to the airport alone while your kids stay home.

    We're sharing practical travel tips (trust us we do it often), including things to pack, how to stay connected while you're gone and actually make the trip productive (and maybe even enjoyable).

    If you’ve ever left for a work trip and felt that mix of excitement, guilt, freedom, and chaos, this episode will feel very familiar.

    Because traveling for work as a mom isn’t just about the flight — it’s about everything happening back home too.

  • Someone Throw Me A Life Jacket
    Mar 5 2026

    Some seasons of life feel less like thriving… and more like barely keeping your head above water.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the feeling so many working moms know but rarely say out loud — drowning. Drowning in work, expectations, laundry, emails, school forms, mental load, guilt, and the constant pressure to hold it all together.

    When you’re the one everyone depends on, where do you go when you’re overwhelmed?

    In this honest conversation, we talk about:

    • The invisible weight working moms carry every day

    • Why “having it all together” is often just survival mode

    • The guilt that shows up when everything feels like too much

    • What drowning actually looks like behind the scenes of ambitious women

    • Small ways to come up for air when life feels like too much

    If you’ve ever laid in bed thinking I cannot keep doing all of this, this episode will make you feel a little less alone.

    You’re not failing.
    You’re just carrying a lot.

    🎧 Listen in if you need a reminder that even the strongest women have seasons where they’re just trying to stay afloat.
