Anoosha Syed, a children's book author/illustrator, artist, art educator, content creator, and mom joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a conversation about her career path, her content creation journey, and her experiences of motherhood so far. In this episode, we discuss the decision anxiety of having a limited amount of time to work while the baby is napping, the importance of knowing your why when it comes to social media, the tendency to spiral with mom guilt sometimes when you'd rather be working than watching your child, and more.
