🎙️ Hey Other Parents — S05E006: Working Moms in America (The Balance Myth)

This week, we’re talking about working moms—and the pressure to somehow do it all. Show up at work like you don’t have kids, show up at home like you don’t have a job, and somewhere in between try to create perfect moments, make every event, and keep it all together. We get real about the myth of balance, the guilt, the double standards, and why it can feel like no matter what you do, you’re falling short somewhere. This isn’t a “how-to” episode—it’s an honest look at what it actually feels like to live in that space, and why maybe balance isn’t the goal at all.

❓ Question of the Week:

What do you want your partner to understand about work-life balance?
