Description

You don’t have to quit your job to reclaim your life. But you do need a system that reflects your values.


🎙️In this episode, I pull from my 16+ years of leading culture transformation at scale – including roles at a Fortune 50 company and as the lead architect for Future of Work strategy at a national firm – to talk honestly about what it really takes to thrive as a working mom in today’s workplace.


✨ And spoiler: It’s not about doing more. It’s about designing smarter.



🎧 Inside this episode, you'll hear:

• Why the second shift at home is costing you 3-5 hours a day

• What corporate culture still doesn’t get about working caregivers

• Why you don’t need to quit to get relief, but do need new systems

• How to work backward from your long-term vision to make short-term decisions

• The #1 shift that helped me stop feeling guilty and start taking control

• A reality check on RTO, mental health, and the cost of loyalty in a post-pandemic workplace

• How you can be part of the change from inside your organization

• Why we must stop normalizing martyrdom and start honoring boundaries (especially as leaders)
