Working Moms: Finding the Balance in Our Lives

Finding our balance as working parents is a double challenge. It's not just about being a great parent while maintaining a job; it's about being great at that job while also being a parent.

In this episode, we discuss:

• scheduling our time so we have time for work, parenting, and "non-mom stuff"
• creating systems for "pain points"
• finding the optimal amount of childcare support
• managing our own expectations as well as we manage the expectations of others

We also refer to statistics from this PDF: Bureau of Labor Statistics: Employment Characteristics of Families- 2020
