In this week’s episode, we unpack one of the biggest unspoken rivalries: stay-at-home moms vs. working moms. Why are women pitted against each other when, in reality, every mom is working and carrying invisible loads?
From sleepless nights during Oktoberfest in Munich to Netflix side notes, from juggling toddlers on Zoom calls to Shonda Rhimes’ raw truth about ambitious motherhood — we go deep into the guilt, judgment, and hidden work that every mom faces.
We share personal stories of being both employed mothers and stay-at-home moms, the pressures of a patriarchal system, and why women themselves sometimes perpetuate the “versus.” Most importantly, we talk about how to shift from competition to community, and why showing up as multi-dimensional women is the best gift we can give our kids.
🎙️ Whether you’re a working mom, stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in between, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. You are not alone.
