In this week's episode, we get into the nitty gritty of being a working mom with Steph Crowder, a mom and entrepreneur who was fed up with the images she saw of motherhood in the workplace and decided she wanted to carve out her own space as a working mom.
Steph was always drawn to meaningful work, and while building her career she wasn't sure how she'd be able to balance also being a mother, or if she even wanted to. Later, when she knew she did want to be a mom, she knew she wasn't willing to just accept the status quo, and intentionally began to shift her lifestyle (and perspectives) in thoughtful preparation for starting a family.
We talk about getting creative, using your intuition to really figure out what's going to work for your family, and the incredible importance of maternal/family leave. For anyone who is trying to balance being a working mom, you cannot miss this episode! Steph is a gifted communicator and her journey will resonate with everyone.
