She is brutally honest about hard emotions that come with that title, such as sacrifices, professional jealousy and the myth of having it all. Mandy’s insight is invaluable to anyone who feels conflicted about her career after facing the realities of having a family.

Share this with your colleagues, your mom-friends or anyone wrestling with the weight of career dreams and family demands. This episode gives working moms permission to feel what they’ve always been told to hide.
