"I don't know how you do it." I hear it constantly. So here's the honest answer: I'm exhausted, I'm more fulfilled than I've ever been, and I'm not a superwoman. I know my why, I know my priorities, and I've built systems around both. And the skills I sharpened over 12 years in tech turned out to be the superpowers that make this life work. That's true for you too. Most of us just never bring them home. That's what this show is for. Every other week, I sit down with founders and executives like Jess Jacobs (CEO of Coterie), Jing Gao (founder of Fly by Jing), Sarah Steele (VP at Olipop), Jeanelle Teves (CCO at Bugaboo), Divya Gugnani (co-founder of Wander Beauty), Hitha Palepu (CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals), and Melanie Rosenwasser (Chief People Officer at Dropbox). Different titles, same thread: every one of them is a builder. We lift the curtain on how their lives actually run: the childcare setups, the division of labor, the promotion conversations, the financial plan that made the leap feel safe, the first customers, the returns from maternity leave, the resets for the days when nothing goes right. Between guests, Toolkit episodes hand you step-by-step playbooks you can put to work immediately, and solo episodes open up the systems running my own life. I'm Barbara Mighdoll, a former tech exec turned entrepreneur. I'm scaling MNTSTUDIO to seven Pilates studios this year, I co-founded Roam Collective, a summer abroad program for families, and I'm the mom of two behind New Modern Mom. This is a living framework for the modern working mother, built to meet you wherever you are: still dreaming, ready to make a move, or deep in the build. And from right where you're standing, you don't need to see the full staircase. You just need to take the first step. Start here. For even more behind the scenes of how I’ve designed my life, subscribe to my newsletter and connect with me on Instagram @newmodernmom. The New Modern Mom Podcast is for working moms, moms in corporate, women in tech, and mom entrepreneurs navigating career growth, motherhood, and modern life design. Every other week: honest conversations and practical playbooks on work-life systems, productivity, childcare and outsourcing, the mental load, career pivots, going back to work after maternity leave, starting a business, and redefining success as an ambitious working mother. Hosted by Barbara Mighdoll. The New Modern Mom podcast is produced in partnership with Alexandra Alquiza and Emily Roberts.Copyright 2026 Barbara Mighdoll マネジメント・リーダーシップ リーダーシップ 人間関係 出世 子育て 就職活動 経済学

    Jing Gao of Cult-Favorite, Fly By Jing | Redefining Sustainable Ambition as an Entrepreneur, Chef, And Mom
    2026/10/06
    Jing Gao built Fly By Jing on sheer willpower, and then she had a son and the only way she'd ever known how to succeed stopped working.In this episode, the founder of Fly By Jing talks about what it actually took to recalibrate her ambition around sustainability instead of urgency, in the same year she launched a major brand refresh and welcomed her son. She walks through the systems she put in place before maternity leave so the business didn't need her in the day to day, why she thinks "the business needs me" is the worst thing a founder can be proud of, and the one trade-off she'd never make again.We also get the whole origin story, which is a lot scrappier than the brand makes it look: quitting a tech career in China with no backup plan, calling every factory she could find and getting rejected by all of them, and the thirty years she spent going by a name that wasn't hers.If you're sitting on a business idea and telling yourself the timing is wrong, or you're coming back from maternity leave, or you're building something in the hours your toddler is at daycare, this one's for you.Follow Jing at @flybyjing and @jingtheory.Mentioned in this episode:Chiyo — the meal delivery service Jing swears byExpand (by the Monroe Institute) and Triple Flame — the meditation apps in her morning routineMorning Pages from The Artist's WayPSA for all working moms: outside of childcare, the budget line I'd protect the hardest is my house manager.

  • Hitha Palepu and Shreya Gulati | How to Use AI to Make Back-to-School Suck Less

    Hitha Palepu and Shreya Gulati | How to Use AI to Make Back-to-School Suck Less
    2026/09/09
    Back to school gets me every year… the forms, the emails, the schedules, all landing at once while summer's supposedly still happening. So I brought in two women who've figured out how to make AI carry some of that weight.Hitha Palepu is a CEO in the pharmaceutical industry, an author, a speaker, a content creator, and a repeat guest here at The New Modern Mom Podcast. Shreya Gulati spent years as a tech exec before becoming an advisor, investor, and founder of the community Moms Build AI. Between the three of us we've got an 18-month-old, a 4-year-old, a first grader, a second grader and a sixth grader.I didn't want another list of apps. I wanted the two people I know who've mastered this, and I asked them to walk us through what works when the calendar starts closing in. We got into their real stacks: Claude, Notion, Littlebird, Monologue; and why the simpler one wins. We got into why research and reminders turn out to be the biggest time-savers of the season, every season. And we got into the part most AI conversations skip: how you actually feel while you're doing all of it.The line that reframed the whole conversation for me came from Shreya: "The goal isn't a good prompt. The goal is to create systems that are resilient and will survive the chaos."That's really what this episode is about.–Now that back to school is officially underway, the mental load has doubled right along with it.So, on the topic of building systems that actually hold: outside of childcare, the budget line I'd protect the hardest is my house manager. She comes daily. Cleaning, laundry, meal prep, organizing. She's the one system in my house that never needs a prompt.Sage Haus does the sourcing and vetting to find your perfect house manager.

  • Jess Jacobs, CEO of Coterie | She Led a Billion-Dollar Acquisition From Home, With Two Kids

    Jess Jacobs, CEO of Coterie | She Led a Billion-Dollar Acquisition From Home, With Two Kids
    2026/08/25

    Jess Jacobs joined Coterie in 2021 as SVP of Brand. She became CEO, and then led the acquisition to Mammoth Brands in a billion-dollar deal, all of it working from home, with two young girls and a third on the way.

    I've been a Coterie customer since almost the beginning. They were one of the first products I ever wrote about on New Modern Mom, six years ago.

    So I wanted the parts nobody puts in the press release. How the household actually runs. Who's the default parent. What she's saying no to right now. And the answer that reframed the whole conversation for me: when I asked where she keeps track of it all, she said, "I absolutely should have better systems and processes in place at home. But I just don't."

    She's not failing at it. She decided it wasn't worth optimizing, and she runs exactly one thing at home with total discipline. It's the same skill that made her a CEO.

    In this episode
    • How a creative director becomes a CEO, and what she had to learn on the way
    • Why "no CEO is perfect at, nor has a background in, every single thing they oversee" and how to lead from that
    • What trust actually looks like on a CEO's calendar (hint: fewer meetings)
    • Building career visibility and getting promoted while working remotely and why that burden isn't the employee's alone
    • The division of labor she and her husband use, and her views on divide and conquer
    • Childcare, the deep bench, and asking for help without apology
    • How to decide what to say no to, in a season where everything looks like an opportunity
    • The mental load, and what she deliberately leaves unoptimized

    If you're heading back to work after maternity leave, trying to get promoted from a home office, or wondering why splitting the chores with your partner still leaves you exhausted, this one's for you.

    By the way… school's back, which means the mental load just doubled overnight.

    So, on the topic of doing it all: outside of childcare, the budget line I'd protect the hardest is my house manager. She comes daily. Cleaning, Laundry, meal prep, organizing — she makes my house feel calm despite the chaos in my days.
