Jumping on this week to give a little update on life and the podcast for the next few months.

There's been a lot going on and I've been processing so much newness in this stage of motherhood, specifically as it relates to pausing my career and the pressures of remaining "relevant" to the workplace.

I share how I'm trying to remember that parenthood is the most demanding, important, real, and significant work of my life, more than any 9-5. I share how I'm trying to reframe my thinking when I get stuck worrying about success and my advice for moms who want to explore their own pursuits while off work in a way that feels meaningful and pressure-free.

Reminder: if you started any other new job that was 7 days a week, on-call every evening, 12 hour days, and barely any breaks, it probably wouldn't be the time you put pressure on yourself to start a side-hustle too.
