How Moms Make It Work

About How Moms Make It Work

”How do you make it all work?” That’s the question every mom whispers to another at preschool drop-off or baseball practice. As a mother of three who completely changed careers after my second child, I’ve been asking this question since my very first maternity leave. Welcome to ”How Moms Make it Work” – conversations with working mothers who do and don’t do it all. I’m Corrie Myers, and I’m bringing together incredible women from all stages of motherhood and career to share their honest journeys: when they took the promotion, when they scaled back, when they started businesses, and yes, when they burned it all down and started over. You’ll hear from new moms in the thick of it and seasoned mothers who are still figuring it out (because change really is the only constant). These fly-on-the-wall glimpses into how other mothers manage everything from childcare to therapy help us all ditch the unrealistic expectations and mom guilt about ”doing it all.” Each story serves as a permission slip to be the working mom YOU want to be, season by season. Wherever you’re at on your working mom journey, I’m so glad you’re here.
