Welcome to Diary of a Working Mom! I'm your host Chelsea. Through this podcast I hope to bring fellow moms support, comfort, and valuable information from other working moms within their specialities. Week to week we will introduce you to moms who are willing to share their experiences and possibly share insight on common struggles moms face. Our guests will range from stay at home moms, to working moms and specialists in all different fields. We will be discussing parenting in general, and then also topics related to their specialities. If you're ready, I'm ready, let's dive in!
Jane Govednik shares her motherhood journey, discussing finding her voice, managing anxiety during pregnancy, and building an online community in this interview with Diary of a Working Mom.

Feeling the Fear & Doing it Anyway, with Ashley Nicole Miller
In this deeply honest and inspiring episode, we sit down with Ashley Nicole Miller — a family and children’s photographer based in Connecticut and mom to a spirited toddler. Ashley opens up about the raw realities of early motherhood, her lifelong battle with anxiety, and how postpartum depression became the breaking point that ultimately led to her breakthrough.
She shares the powerful moment when, in the depths of burnout and shame, her husband’s unexpected words of empathy and support became the catalyst for her healing — giving her the courage to rebuild her photography business on her own terms, reconnect with her creative purpose, and begin living life with intention.
Ashley speaks candidly about what it means to find fulfillment outside of motherhood, how she learned to let go of shame, and why doing the hard, brave thing — even when you're scared — is the most important step you can take. If you've ever struggled to separate your identity from your circumstances or doubted your right to chase your dreams, this episode will speak to your soul.
