Mom Who Works: Redefining what it means to be a working mom (in a world without working dads...)

Today's conversation will inspire and delight. We talk about what it means to be a good friend and so many nuances in life. Mickie Lara describes her superpower this way: I'm a fact-finder and I'm fairly intuitive. It means I can listen well, connect the dots an often make connections that others can't. And, if the situation calls for it, I'll have the tough conversation, be ho...

There is power and promise in female friendships, a special place to find comfort and peace and support and love. And it is SO HARD to make new friends! How can we do it? Why should we do it? Listen in to this episode where host Jenna Worthen shares more about how she has built relationships at different times in her life and how she works to keep them thriving.

Do you have someone to call in the middle of the night when shit hits the fan? We do--but only because we built it. Join Kristin Holland, Christa Barber Moss Brigette Zorn and Jenna Worthen, the Mom Who Works co-curators, for a great conversation on the value of friendship, community and creating what you need in your life.

It's April 1, second quarter and we are inspired by a Sarah J. Maas character exchange in the Throne of Glass series. It's probably not what you think... Quarterly reflections are a staple in the Mom Who Works community. Today, we are asking you to consider: who is it you wish to be? Listen in!

Lynette Holt is my mom-- and she simply had to be my first interview. She's a business owner, a political activist, a worship pastor and now a retiree. This was such a fun and special interview. She always weighs in on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift-- and her favorite part of it all? Jason. IYKYK Listen in!

Moms, we did it! We made it to the end of the book. Reading this chapter was a wee bit wonky because it is very image heavy. I'll share those images on the @MomWhoWorks Instagram page for you to have-- or, please grab a hard copy of the book! If you don't have book buying money, send me a message and I'll send you the digital chapter - stories@momwhoworks.com. It has been an HONOR and...

This is not a chapter I meant to write, wish I needed to write, but I needed to share the stories of the mom who works during a global pandemic. If you don't want to revisit, rehash or reconsider the quarantine times of your motherhood and careerhood journey, I suggest you skip this one. It was wild to write this-- and even more fascinating to read it to you so many years later. My heart aches...

Phhhheeewww, moms! The 2023 holiday season was severely disrupted with a wicked bout of the flu. I thank you for your patience getting this episode up, and I promise to bring you extra episodes in the next 10 days to make up for it. In Chapter 5, one of my favorite parts is the sharing of affirmations I wrote just for you. I hope you love them.

Chapter 4 is all about women's intuition and the encouragement needed to trust yourself. Listen in!

It won't disrupt your reading (it was in the intro) but what really happens to t...
