Rise and Shine!
Let's brew our espresso for an insightful shot!
For the “I’m Doing My Best” Working Moms
WHY This Conversation Matters
There’s a silent pressure many working moms feel: to be composed in meetings and comforting at home, to deliver quarterly results and dinner.
But real strength isn’t about doing it all perfectly — it’s about showing up authentically, even when it's messy.
We created this podcast because working moms like us were tired of whispering about the hard parts. It's time to bring those conversations to the front of the room.
Because motherhood doesn’t stop when the workday begins.
WHAT You’ll Hear and Read
Four working moms share candid stories, practical tips, and plenty of humor:
🎯 How they apply corporate training skills at home (yes, checklists and all)
🪞 What it means to lose and rediscover your identity as a mother
🤯 How they manage guilt, routines, and expectations
🧠 Why mental health, self-compassion, and forgiveness are non-negotiables
💡 Practical tips like time blocking, gratitude journaling, and boundary setting
You’ll walk away not with advice, but with relatability, real stories, and hope, such as:
- The MANY roles we play behind the scenes (chef, counselor, manager, and more)
- How our "failures" (like forgetting school pickup) are also lessons in grace
- Mental health tips and time-saving strategies for the everyday chaos
- Why role modeling isn’t about being perfect — it’s about showing up, again and again
